Are there still those channels that are 'CinemaSins but video games' or whatever that seemed all the rage for a while?

Definitely. People are still deeply annoyingly hyperboliclly cynical about art.

turning off the Attica documentary before all the Attica stuff happens is an incredible bit, but especially coming from the guy who insists he's still working on his Best of 2016 list because he's just too thorough about watching everything

Srice posted:I dunno what the full context is but the person who linked it to me knew more than me about YMS and pretty much said that he usually hates old movies and is ignorant about them (old as defined as being made before like, 1970 iirc?) Honestly, if this is gatekeeping, then so be it, but anyone that calls themselves reviewers or critics should have not just an understanding of basic film language but also, at the very least, a broad strokes understanding of the history of the type of cinema that they focus on. Like, yes, it's understandable if some Yank isn't as well versed on 1980s Chinese arthouse cinema like Chen Kaige or Italian new wave like Antonioni's oeuvre as they would be on Hollywood cinema, but gently caress me, at least have an understanding of the history and various movements that inform the poo poo that we see now, for gently caress's sake.

The Trial doesn't get near enough love. It's not perfect but it is wholly unique, and you can feel Welles personal anguish leaking through the entire movie. It's so beautifully shot.

Also I'll try watching the King of Comedy.

Not finishing a movie is fine but the bigger controversy is the fact that the YMS guy still gives them ratings in his videos and IMDB pages which is by default unfair to do if you've only seen part of the movie. Him doubling down and going "debate me bro!!" to people on twitter who called him out on it just made it worse. Not to mention you could maybe get away with it at film festivals due to the stricter timeframe (even though most professional film critics do it just fine) but not finishing Oscar nominated movies makes you come off as lazy and unprofessional. also im pretty sure he's never seen a movie made before 1993

And that's why I refuse to say whether or not I believe Arrival is a good movie or not. I've enjoyed most of Villeneuve's other output, but I just couldn't engage with that film and constantly found myself distracted and struggling to pay attention to the point where, in three attempts, I just couldn't finish it. Is it a good movie? Probably? Plenty of people seem to enjoy it, but I wouldn't know.

On one hand, yeah "This piece of media was so bad I couldn't finish it" is a valid review, but on the other, it doesn't really say much beyond "this person thought this". Also, it makes actually talking about the movie/whatever sound ridiculous, and the longer the reviewer talks about the thing they didn't finish, the worse it gets. I think around the 30-minute-mark you reach the threshold where you transform into a clown, and your review of something you didn't finish turns into a farce For comedic value, go for it! But don't expect your little joke review to be taken seriously after that.

Soooo apparently watching that Legacy of Kain video pushed youtube's algorithm over the line into being convinced I love being fed people talking for hours about dorky video games because it told me to watch this video breaking down Kingdom Hearts 3 in depth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xXvR27HVug And honestly, yeah, it's pretty good and I feel very seen by the computer.

admittedly, it is pretty funny that the guy whose brand is watching everything and going into exhaustive detail is going like "i don't get it why are people getting mad at me for not being able to sit through a few oscar-nominated movies they sucked anyway back to watching all 396 million kimba the white lion spinoffs"

Honestly, unless your review of a film is "Jesus christ this is a pile of garbage" you should probably watch a movie until the ending.

yeah, reviews are just people's thoughts. they're really only useful if someone does a lot of them because then once you know a person's tastes because then you can theoretically compare their tastes to your own and make a better judgement call. in practice, going through a bunch of someone else's thoughts to get a feel for whether you'll like something else is about as much work as just going through a bunch of stuff on your own so it's better to just go into whatever seems interesting to you blind and treat reviews as the light first derivative entertainment that they are, because the odds of running into a reviewer whose tastes are actually aligned with your own are pretty low.

I dunno, maybe I’m too old, but this just strikes me the same as the AVGN complainer stuff. Do people not know that it’s okay to just…stop watching a personality if you are not enjoying them anymore? There is no requirement to “hold someone accountable” or harass them on Twitter or make a subreddit where you obsessively micro-analyze everything they do. “We must hold fast the journalistic and academic integrity of … *checks notes*… the YouTube channel Your Movie Sucks.” No, you really don’t! Just, fuckin’, walk away and never think about them again. I do it all the time because who could possibly give a poo poo and we’re living in a time with infinite content, so why get hung up on someone I don’t like, even if I liked them in the past. I’m not even going into the validity of people’s complaints, just stop watching if you don’t like it. Who cares?
