Strange how that works. Who would imagine that you actually need to be funny to try and do parody? It's similar to those assholes that make poo poo like Epic Movie or Meet The Spartans. When you make fun of something bad you need to put a little more effort into it than just doing a shittier version of your intended target.

Space Cop is one of the worst pieces of media I've ever willingly consumed and I feel really bad for the two Canadian professional effects guys that were wasted on it.

Very cool! Also I still like them. I don't watch all their videos, but I still think they are one of the most entertaining movie focussed channels on Youtube. (That probably doesn't mean anything though.)

Eezee posted:Very cool! You know what's more entertaining and WAY more emotionally rewarding than RLM? Ecomog. They have their own (arguably problematic) gimmick of lampooning street culture, and you're not going to get much deep analysis from them. On the other hand, their reactions are funny as poo poo, their geek cred is legit, and they're RELENTLESSLY positive. On the rare instance that they go negative, like their review of Independence Day: Resurgence, it comes from a place of honest-to-god disappointment and not some attempt to score cool points by blindly attacking the establishment. We need channels and people that'll dive deep and talk about movies in a literate and entertaining way. But we also need more guys like these who remind us that this poo poo is supposed to be fun.

I actually can't stand when people do reviews for lovely movies. I want to see passionate people talking about good ones. Chez Lindsay does a good job critiquing crap movies but she only does like 1 video a month and she's the exception.

Chez Lindsay does a good job critiquing crap movies but she only does like 1 video a month and she's the exception. Ecomog puts all their reviews into their general "reactions" playlist, but if you just search "ecomog review" on YouTube you'll get a bunch of them; just pick a movie you were into, chances are they were into it too. Again, all their reviews basically boil down to "This part was crazy, this part was crazy, this part was crazy, YO THIS MOVIE WAS FLAMES, SON," so stay away if you prefer people who will break a movie down, but their enthusiasm makes up the ground for me. Also, hi, I'm just gonna go ahead and plug the essay series I've been doing for my friend's site if you want more passionate people talking about good movies...or at least, movies they like. You can also check here for other stuff I write for them.

This is a guy who refused to watch the late 90s Xtreme Ghostbusters cartoon because it had a new "politically correct" diverse cast.

I'm on the final three episodes of the first season of The Leftovers and it feels like it's starting to pick up a little. Hopefully the season closes out strong and I can start season two, which I've heard so much about.

I really didn't enjoy Leftovers season 1 all that much. It just felt like "Prestige Drama: The Series". It gets way better in seasons 2 and 3. I know season 2 gets a ton of love around here, but so far I've been enjoying season 3 even more.

Mu Zeta posted:Half in the Bag is watchable sometimes as long as Rich Evans isn't on it I mostly just find it annoying because they do the same thing every other disgruntled 30-somthing male on the internet does where they constantly complain about how much modern movies suck but they still see almost nothing but big stupid blockbusters so they can complain about how disappointing they were. It's especially bad because they're actually in a position to influence people by cluing them into smaller movies they might not see otherwise, they don't even have the excuse of being in Milwaukee anymore since independent films almost always hit VOD at the same time they hit theaters now.

I've been wondering for a month or two now and I guess this thread might have the answer: is there a reason Netflix is putting up seasons of its established shows (Master of None, Kimmy Schmidt, House of Cards, and I think OitNB has a new season out any day now too, plus apparently F is for Family if you include that in the same show tier)? It's cool that they're doing it and all but is it intentionally timed to now as a power grab (the spring season is ending so we all have more time to watch Netflix) or just a weird case of the stars aligning? It seems like giving each one two or three weeks to breathe instead of just one would make a sporadic subscriber drag out their subscription a bit longer but maybe they're going for a WOW THERE'S SO MUCH NEW STUFF ON NETFLIX YOU GOTTA CHECK IT OUT vibe? (I guess I'm also assuming that these shows have a huge overlapping audience which might not be the case?)

I don't think there's as much overlap as you might think, and there's also a bunch of shows you aren't interested in that slipped so far below your radar you didn't know they came out (did you know netflix made a how to train your dragon show?). And yeah there is no doubt a team of very smart numbers people making a great deal of of money calculating how best to dole out the new releases to keep subscriptions up.

I'm more wary of that one though as I don't think it has any of the original people involved. It's going to need more than a flashy voice cast with Lin-Manual Miranda as Gizmoduck to make it work.

precision posted:[Bloodline] Season 2 is still quite good. I've heard 3 gets pretty nuts. Mulva posted:[Bloodline] Season 3 clearly shows the efforts of stunted storylines and things they wanted to do more with but didn't have the time. Were they able to cobble together a mostly thematic ending? Sort of, but it's still clear that isn't what they set out to make. Wow, you guys weren't kidding. The latter half of Bloodline season 3 goes into serious WTF-land. Oh well, on to House of Cards season 5, then, I swear I'm gonna start my summer gym program.
