Mokinokaro posted:Leslie Jones is a genuinely funny person and clever enough to handle the dumb improvised filming they tried to use. Yeah I wasn't a fan of the constant improvising the movie appeared to have. Leslie did some good work with it though. The movie will always have a soft spot in my heart because it was a huge hit with the audience I saw it with, a bunch of girl scouts. I'm also not super hot on GB1/2 these days so maybe that helps.

Echo Chamber posted:I'll still say the first half of TFA review was absolutely necessary to counter all the CD-esque prequel apologist revisionism that creeped in. Nah, I think it was entirely required to have that first half as a boilerplate warning. The review itself is greatly informed by being reminded beforehand that these guys are salty as hell that Prequel Hate / Not My Star Wars is now a weird opinion that you'd likely hear coming out of Sheldon Cooper's voice.

Let's just cut this one off at it's source.  The actual authors of the piece have told you to your face that your interpretation of their ideas is wrong and you continue to have zero self awareness and push the idea that the only reason they could possibly hate the prequels is that they were "Not My Star Wars."

I mean to be fair, the Prequels are failures, but what fans don't realize that so are the originals. Star Wars has always failed to reach the level of The Hidden Fortress.

Hard to speak of self-awareness when the creators think their product wasn't just Not My Star Wars. If I was wrong, the aforementioned boilerplate about the next generation of Star Wars fans not having the same opinions as them wouldn't exist. I get it, they made their initial bones on Not My Star Wars, Not My Star Wars has become a weird opinion, so their next major SW thing has to start out with grumbling about "kids these days are now liking Star Wars that isn't My Star Wars".

You know I actually like talking to people who genuinely enjoy the prequels about why they like them. Unfortunately talking about the prequels is Bibs bait and Bibs is a literal child who likes any movie so long as it has at least 100 million dollars worth of CGI in it and the box office returns were good.WampaLord posted:You complete loving moron, you arrogant rear end, you're literally trying to tell people what their own thought process is.

WampaLord posted:you're literally trying to tell people what their own thought process is.  No, they did that with the Plinkett reviews of the prequels. The virality of those videos came from an audience in desperate need of ways to say Not My Star Wars without just being honest about it. Enter a video series where they provide a lot of wordy ways to say Not My Star Wars, because it's creators didn't want to just say Not My Star Wars.

business hammocks posted:The time for Plinkett has passed. I'm baffled as to why they keep doing these when reviewer discourse and even RLM content has eclipsed the need for these sorts of performances. It's a huge regression whenever they dig him up again. Even their regular review show has long since become tedious in its framing, which now routinely points out how tedious it is before and after every review. IIRC, the reason Mike invented Plinkett is because he thought no one would be willing to listen to a nerd rambling on hours upon hours about why the Star Wars prequels suck without some kind of gimmick. But since then, long form video essays about basically any given nerd franchise have become the absolut norm, so they totally could do it now without Plinkett. and they kind of already do, since they really cut back on the amount of "serial killer intermissions". But Plinkett is also a pretty focal character, and arguably, the centerpiece of their brand, so they probably keep doing it simply for recognition.

It’s the line about Shelob “mothering” the main character that’s the most baffling to me. Who watched that scene in the film and thought that would be an appropriate way to characterize her? Unless someone on the game’s writing staff got The Return of the King confused with James and the Giant Peach, I guess. Happens all the time.

Who watched that scene in the film and thought that would be an appropriate way to characterize her? Shelob ate her own children. It's part of why she's the (probably) last Great Spider. The only way to save Shelob mothering the player is to make the whole plot a scheme to fatten up and eat him. New Butt Order fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Aug 7, 2017 |

I would 100% prefer a LotR game that took a hard turn into Dahl at the end over the canon, which is probably why the sheer absurdity of the Shadow games has been fun.

I mean, Brad, Nash and Chuck all have their own sites to bring traffic in and are on YouTube to boot (Chuck's on Vidme, though I have a feeling he might get screwed again ala Blip once Videme inevitably goes belly up). But it's like, who's left at this point? Joe, Lewis, Todd, Suede, Hagan, Stuckmann, FilmBrain, Ranstmo, Some Jerk, and Blockbuster Buster. I really have the feeling Vidme is going to be around for awhile as more and more Youtubers get shafted by the content ID system and the whole DMCA fiasco.

Intrinsic Field Marshal posted:The prequel trilogy are just lovely films. It isnt a case of Not Muh Star Wars. In early youth, as we contemplate our coming life, we are like children in a theatre before the curtain is raised, sitting there in high spirits and eagerly waiting for the play to begin. It is a blessing that we do not know what is really going to happen. Could we foresee it, there are times when children might seem like innocent prisoners, condemned, not to death, but to life, and as yet all unconscious of what their sentence means. Nevertheless, every man desires to reach old age; in other words, a state of life of which it may be said: “It is bad to-day, and it will be worse to-morrow; and so on till the worst of all.” If you try to imagine, as nearly as you can, what an amount of misery, pain and suffering of every kind the sun shines upon in its course, you will admit that it would be much better if, on the earth as little as on the moon, the sun were able to call forth the phenomena of life; and if, here as there, the surface were still in a crystalline state. Again, you may look upon life as an unprofitable episode, disturbing the blessed calm of non-existence. And, in any case, even though things have gone with you tolerably well, the longer you live the more clearly you will feel that, on the whole, life is a disappointment, nay, a cheat.
