khwarezm posted:Cinefix is actually really good, although at first glance it looks like another Watchmojo/buzzfeedesque '10 best buttcracks in the Terminator Franchise!' crap that actually seems to be a front to just get people to watch their in depth videos on advanced visual storytelling techniques. They also don't just restrict themselves to blockbusters, or genre movies or movies from the last three decades which is something I really like. Which videos are the good ones and which are the clickbait? I can't tell by looking at the titles & thumbnails.

Baronjutter posted:On youtube first is often more important than quality. The first review up, the first early access video, the first reaction video. That's where the huge views are, and if you're even a day later than others it can mean the difference between your video getting a million views or only 10,000 views. So, movies and games will invite key members of the youtube shill-o-sphere to get exclusive early access to what ever they're promoting, but usually with a ton of strings attached. One of them usually that they can't make a review video, just a video saying that they watched or played what ever and that it was fun or exciting, but nothing that constitutes a review. They can "react" to it, but not critically review it. The other thing they have to agree to is to not release any of their videos until a certain date, this is to give all the shills they invited a chance to put together and edit their videos and have them drop on the same day/time so no one has an advantage, because "first" is so important. But enough about politics!

Non technical is fine too, I also like ones that deep dive into movies and going over the themes and what the filmmakers may have been trying to say. There was one quite a few years ago that was on PBS here that was on The Matrix (!) and it was quite interesting.

In that case, for a good primer, check out Earthling Cinema's Hidden Meaning behind the Dark Knight. They dive into the sociopoltiical themes of the movie but do it in a humorous way. The concept of the show is aliens have discovered the movies of Earth after it blew up so they're trying to contextualize the movies within what they think Earth culture was like.

Folding Ideas is pretty good for film analysis, but he has some gimmicky puppet routine in his older videos that might put some people off. Double Toasted is probably the best "people just talking about film" channel right now, and isn't inundated with the rampant fanboyism that killed Screen Junkies/Collider for me. I really enjoy Lindsey Ellis' film analysis too.

The guy actually knows a fair amount about the history behind different films, offers reasonable opinions about how films could be more historical without damaging their narrative, and unlike a lot of historically oriented channels is fine with movies that break from real history in the name of making a better movie.

History Buffs is really quite good. He understands what the film is trying to achieve compared to the history and offers potential alterations to the movie that is in line with the whole of the movie that isn't demanding it to conform to a movie that doesn't exist. He doesn't look to take down a movie unless it is fundamentally bad. See The Patriot. He smashed this film because the messaging is absurd verging on straight up propaganda. Have a look at his 300 video. It is historically nonsense if it wasn't obvious, but he takes how it is twisted it was and gives a history lesson on it using excerpts from the film. He does the same with Saving Private Ryan. He takes apart the history and through it forms the criticisms and praises the film in question while offering a history lesson. He loves 300 because it took all those liberties with history to tell a good story about some kickass dudes.

And to be fair, if you look at 300 as the story a Spartan is telling other Spartans it lines up pretty well since it's basically the ancient greek version of that time your coworker totally got into a barfight with three MMA dudes and won with his krav maga training and also then the sexy bartender with the tattoos and nose ring totally gave him a awesome tittyjob in the bathroom.

Speaking of Ellis I'm also a fan of Kyle Kallgren who posts on these forums https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O6OTVyybZU Shame like stuff like his Man who fell to Earth review is lost because of blip closing and it probably getting blocked since the gimmick of the review was it was done all with covers in Bowie songs. oohhboy posted:History Buffs is really quite good.

His recent Apollo 13 episode was great Also he showed me something I didn't know when talking about Private Ryan, where when the GI shoots the surrendering "Germans" after mocking them for not being able to understand them; that they were speaking Czech and trying to tell him that they were press ganged by the Nazis.

Youtube posted:Watching Red Fetter Mediocre has made me realize something today. Those who can't be successful in entertainment/film making, YouTube instead..... These guys are the worst kind of poop Star Wars "fans". They suck each other off while that pile of poop on the left on left sticks his micro penis into a pizza bite. These guys base their "cool" factor on a movie they saw when they were 5 years old and are upset that they can't go back to the days when their uncle rapey put on a Vader mask and diddle them in the closet when baby sitting them. I now understand why Mike is drinking himself to death.

"Movies with Mikey" was pretty good for John Wick even if it did reach a little over playing the Olympus angle.for too long like he is trying to stall for time. But the rest of the stuff I have seen is pretty garbage. In The Fifth Element review he spends 3 minutes talking almost nothing(French stuff and half made up poo poo about circles) about The Fifth Element before he bashes the poo poo out of A Good Day to Die Hard for 20 minutes by describing it action scene by action scene. A complete waste of time that tells you absolutely nothing. Gee Die Hard 5 is a bad movie you say, not a Die Hard movie?, I didn't know that. I would have liked to see you talk about The Fifth loving Element please? His TFA review is a perpetual unearned orgasm of Star Wars where he spends half the running time justifying TFA based on nostalgia the very thing JJ leans on completely. He considers that the movie existence is a miracle which he uses as a bludgeon that somehow confirms JJ's not a Hack Fraud instead of acknowledging that a SW movie was going to happen anyway JJ or not. It might as well been a fan video about ring theory. His Interstellar video was ok, but he takes far, far to long to get to the point, something he keeps doing. His hit rate is far, far too poor for me to continue. He gets an insight then proceeds to write a high school essay on it, constantly padding on time. He has good production values I guess?! Back to the Hack Frauds at RLM, the #1 brand I trust and use everyday.

But buying premium vodkas is pretty much a scam since Monopolowa is both cheap and extremely well regarded among critics, vodka fans and casual drinkers alike.
