It's one of the dumbest movies I've seen in awhile and I mean that in the best way.

Malignant sounds kinda dumb to me, but thats only based on the text summaries.

Based on one comment he made during the video (could I be forgetting something?)
He must be waiting to do another hourlong video on Dan alone.

It's incredibly dumb. A text summary could never do justice to how dumb it is.

All I heard from a friend was that there was a TERFy subtext that was probably unintentional, but is enough to dissuade me from watching it.

I used to watch a lot of Marcus' stuff but these days he seems to only focus on Marvel and DC superhero stuff and I'm just completely burned out and uninterested in superhero movies so I haven't clicked on any of his videos in a good while.

Honestly his riffs are way better than his commentary/analysis.

It biologically grounds the other personality too much to be truly compatible with that kind of rhetoric transness being compared to possessions and the nuances of anti-trans men bigotry aside. I wouldn’t say not remotely tho.
It reads to me more like an pro-choice movie than anything else despite the irony.

Edit: eh nvm if that doesn’t save Buffalo bill then the only difference is whether or not is whether you pay attention to that sort of terf bs before watching it. A film having an vaild problematic reading doesn’t make the only possible reading of it all and it’s not really a death sentence in itself.

I like him a lot. You'll get his opinion delivered in a funny way and without much muss and fuss and seems pretty considered overall. Also it's fun watching him wind up MauLer because Marcus just does not care but is highly amused by the former's notion of objective reviews.

We really don't need that much air wasted on Victorious and Sam & Cat. Somebody did a fascinating look at how Jeannette McCurdy was treated by Nick but I can't find their video now. All I remember is he had a slight tangent on parasocial relationships and reminded the viewer you don't know a thing about him save the content he curates to show you and is not your friend and would break your kneecaps for a nickel.

you might be talking about CJ the X's "The Neurosis of Cat Valentine" which is mostly about Ariana Grande's character, but takes an aside to talk about Jeannette McCurdy's horrifying treatment

The evidence against Karl comes from the same set of leaked Discord messages that sunk his friend RWhiteGoose which was a big deal in the speedrunning community at the time. If TomatoAnus wasn't a member of the community then he'd have an excuse here. But he is, so he should have known better.

A little privacy, please?
I actually had a Twitter DM convo with TomatoAnus this past week on this exact subject. He admitted to being sloppy and forgetful about Jobst's associations and asked me for info to fill him in. I provided what I had and put him in contact with a victim of Karl's behavior (with permission first).

Maybe it's egotism but I'm treating this as sincere and a win.

I think the problem is that Karl wasn't really well known enough at the time to draw the connection immediately and that leak was usually shared as just goose's biggest most racist posts in isolation rather than as the whole dump.

You guys aren't going to believe this, but that guy is our games teacher.
Saberspark has started a new channel to talk about video games and he's launched it with a banger of a video on the scumminess of mobile game economics:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjN79aGuGoQ

It's not anything new if you've been following Jim Sterling, but it's still a little shocking when it's all put together into a 30 minute package (and is probably easier to share with less-online people than a Jim Sterling video).

I think he can hear you, Ray.
It's been funny to see people not being able to wrap their heads around MALIGNANT. I think it's a failure of marketing (I don't know how you would market it to be fair), but it's absolutely a movie that did exactly what it set out to do. This is the same guy who made the killer dummy movie, and had an Octopus playing drums in AQUAMAN so I don't know why there's talk like Wan was some very serious filmmaker. Despite the Giallo talk though, it feels like more of a homage to ropey 90s horror than anything else. It won't be for everyone, but the implication that any of the choices Wan makes are 'unintentional' doesn't really hold up.
