Latter day jenny posts like 1 non patreon video every 6 months or more. Even I, someone who largely likes her videos, find there's not much to talk about. Lindsay gone, jenny faded, folding ideas usually committed to tediously explaining internet concepts to boomers. We've no recourse left but ralph and, sigh, the auralnauts

Jenny might not be a good fit for this thread.

However, there is a different lovely youtuber who's totally original gimmick is being "drunk" while making GBS threads on star wars who might have some moron fans.

I have a nit to pick with that movie

what the gently caress is this movie even supposed to be about? because the only thing I can think of when people pontificate about how it's a powerful statement on gender identity or sexuality or parenthood or industrialism is "she killed half a dozen people in cold blood and the movie reveled in it and then promptly forgot and hoped the audience would too"

It's the shitlib manifesto made flesh: look guys, we need to make sure that people of every race, gender, orientation, and creed get to gently caress over the poor and blow up foreigners.

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
The content creator community/fandom community feels like it's gotten far more aggressive in the last 10 years, though, and it seems to be an endless cycle of drama, hypocrisy, and sudden crashes, turns, and take downs in popularity when things snowball as easily as they can.

Onto the topic of the latest video on Near Dark, though...

Their description of Near Dark made me think of another vampire movie of about the same era:

Darkness (Video states NSFW content, so be warned)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTmaZHvFByA

Not really a good/great film, but the 'crap life vampires running silently rampant through America' vibe of the movie always stuck with me and every so often I feel like I'd like to watch it again. (Best advice, though: Adjust your TV to run it in B&W. A 'remaster' I watched about 14 years ago was just a garish with how bright and oversaturated it looked that made it look cheap. B&W hid a lot of that.) But just from the trailer you can tell they're going more for that 'gore' look than to tell a story.

Like Near Dark, Darkness' disc went out of print for a while and I think its into high dollar price ranges according to Amazon/eBay.

I'm also not sure if this has been mentioned about Near Dark yet or not:
-For a while the actress who played the lead was apparently missing and no one could find her. This would have been I supposed sometime in the 2000s when they were prepping to do the DVD/BD releases. I think someone claimed in the years since the last US issue of the disc that she reappeared and was doing some convention circuit stuff, though. I'm not sure if this might have had any influence on the movie being out of circulation, though, unless they were hoping to do ANOTHER reissue someday with more of the cast, but that seems like a stretch.

-The kid vampire from the movie apparently wrote a book/made a movie in the 90s called The Mao Game described as, "15-year-old child actor's odyssey through the temptations of Hollywood and the emotional minefield of his family's life." Seems from further description to be a bit bleak.

I don't get all the hate for Jenny. She's completely inoffensive.

I don't get why people are posting her in the RLM thread either though so

Only offensive thing about Jenny is her editing style. I've never actually managed to watch her videos long enough to find out if the content is good.

My middle-aged brain can't handle the multiple cuts for every sentence style that young people enjoy.

People are hosed up and damaged people drift to each other in hosed up ways
They also dance so you probably should just vibe with it, its a vibe movie
Asking arthouse horror to moralize is the wrong approach

Chinese version of Titane would replace last scene with a brief explanation that police sorted it out dont worry

The average entertainment YouTube video has 9,816 views, so you've only got 9,786 to go!

Unfortunately, when I clicked on it again to double-check my math, you'd gone from 30 views to 16 views, so you don't seem to be moving in the right direction.

Really cool article here about the post production on Kimi, the new Stephen Soderbergh film. I didn’t even realise they used LED screens for the outside the window stuff until I saw this, that’s how good and convincing it looked.

The saddest bit of local press I saw promoting this turd was a story trying to claim that this was a huge transformation for Kevin James and that he's totally indistinguishable from Sean Payton when it's just Kevin James wearing a visor.

Last year before Christmas FYAD started a thread about how all v-tubers are pedofile enablers and the V-tuber thread in ADTRW got really bent out of shape, but eventually some of the QCS petitioned the mods and had admins look into it, and within 12 hours the V-tuber thread had been closed, reopened, locked, closed forever, and then mod of the anime forum got banned for posting pedofile poo poo. One of the funnier microsagas of FYAD for sure, IMO.
