Linkara was pretty insightful back when I was still somewhat into superhero comics, though I always got this vibe off of him that he took himself extremely seriously. Thinking back to that one Power Rangers rant he did. But he's also one of the people who always put his skits in the front or the end, so you could easily skip over them, which was a gods-send in those times.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

I think Linkara’s discussions and insights into comic history are really interesting, but can’t stand him flat-out reading a comic with funny voices and riffing on it MST3K style, so I usually tap out of every video as soon as the theme song starts or fast forward to the conclusion.

This phenomenon always makes me a bit sad. I've always been trying to follow recommendations from this thread, but I sometimes find out I find someones opinions interesting or insightful, but can't stand the sound of their voice. Phelous is another internet reviewer who runs into this, I remember back from the TGWTG-times, there were always some comments on his videos complaining about how they couldn't stand listening to his voice. I always thought they were crazy until the same thing started happening to me with other internet reviewers

Sometimes, poo poo just doesn't click. :shrug:

I really should have come up with something better before spending five bucks on this.

Dawgstar posted:

The Room is a fascinating flick, one you can point to as an entertaining bad movie as opposed to anything from The Asylum or anybody else who tries to make a bad movie on purpose. While The Room is devoid of craft on every level it at least wants to be a real movie which counts for a lot in being watchable even if not objectively or subjectively good. See also the works of Breen, Neil.

Yeah, once a movie is self-aware or tries to be bad on purpose it's generally painfully unwatchable. I was browsing streaming for movies and there was a glut of them around 2014-2017 and realized they probably tried to ride on the coattails of Kung Fury's massive kickstarter, because looking up a few of them I found indiegogo campaigns that only raised 100 bucks on "hey look at our wacky concept horror movie". I'd argue one of the few "so bad it's good" movies made on purpose that worked was Rocky Horror Picture Show; at least that was intended to be homage/parody of bad movies, but even then on initial release nobody got the joke. There's also the case for "Freddy Got Fingered".

I think it's especially rare for movies to do stay unaware of being bad because of the number of people involved in the making of them. You can make an album, youtube video, book etc. all from your basement solo but every body added to the production adds to the possibility of the movie being self-aware of its badness. Neil Breen is keeping that alive and had a tweet about his next movie; Twisted Pair didn't change him, let's see if that continues.

ironmouse has been streaming for 11 hours and raised 101k when her planned goal was 10k(which she hit basically immediately).

she has CVID, that is some incredible endurance even for someone who isn't incredibly frail. she is a legend. she talks a fair amount about how she feels like a burden, like a waste on the world, this is proof positive that she isn't a waste. that she can do her part to change the world and make things a better place.

Though her awful voice sounds like crap and makes me want to puke, I must give her kudos for her charitable work.

The only 'purposefully bad' thing I think I've ever enjoyed was garth marenghi's darkplace, but that has more going on beyond just "it's a bad 80s style medical drama", because in the fiction of the show darkplace was an actual 80s show that was bad accidentally. And so you have stuff with the fictional actors out of camera, all the interview footage and such. Especially the stuff that comes after the actual episodes themselves is brilliant. Matt Berry is so convincing and funny as a washed up pretentious theatre guy who is gradually realizing just how garbage the whole show is.

so it's not just "bad on purpose", but convincingly playing as fictional actors/writers that would make bad content accidentally. whole dang thing's on youtube too.

she has talked about this before but that is basically her real voice, she's been made fun of for it her whole life. I guess being 4'10" with lung damage makes you sound like an anime girl irl as your default voice.
