I love the first one and think it’s a pretty fun send up of bond tropes. I also dig the action scenes. They’re kinda ugly but in a fun way. Love the church scene because I’m an rear end in a top hat lol.

The second one decided to be a send up of roger moore bond movies but didn’t attempt to make it a joke so it was just a lame version of those. And the kings man wasn’t even funny and it was really boring.

The Kingsman prequel reads like a studio really thinking any midly amusing caper they poop out needs an expanded universe. Regardless of quality it's a hard film to pitch.

Part 3 in a great series on the use of CGI in film-making and how movie studios don't want to admit how much they use (going so far as to use it to edit behind-the-scenes footage that shows it being used). I really like the stuff on matte paintings in there.

Absolutely insane that they'd go to the effort of digitally editing the behind the scenes footage. You're forcing your VFX artists to cover up their own contributions to the movie so you can push a marketing ploy that covers up your VFX artists even further.

Had this happen to me. I worked on Spectre, and when this featurette was released we all noticed that, to make their "real stunts" look more impressive, someone digitally removed the safety wires in the behind-the-scenes footage of Daniel Craig walking across the rooftop in Mexico City.

The three lines with the plus is the save playlists button. It doesn't really give you a big alert that something new's been added though, you'll still have to check your channel page every couple weeks to see if anything's been added.

Yeah I should probably try this, there are some good channels I've abandoned because the upload to watch ratio was abysmal. I really dislike "studio" or "publication" channels or whatever you want to call them

I liked the first Kingsman movie well enough. But outside of that one scene and the pretty nice soundtrack, I wouldn't call it anything that demanded a franchise.

"We have to write it because people are googling it" no you don't, unless you have something to actually say then don't. Like, there was some guy back in the day that wrote thousands and thousands of words on what he thought the plot and ending of Killer7 meant, synthesising it from a Japanese only book called Hand In Killer7 and his own playthrough of the game. He had something he wanted to say so he wrote it - it might be total gibberish bt at least it's something created out of an interest in the subject. I have yet to see any article or video with " - Explained" in the title that offered anything other than the author/youtuber just repeating verbatim what happens on screen. If media literacy wasn't already mostly dead, the pursuit of AdSense dollars is going to shoot it in the face and bury it in an unmarked grave.

The problem is that people are, or at least, were, looking for ending explanations from someone who has something interesting to say. But instead they find soulless garbage. Traffic is produced, but nobody's happy with any of it, there's not even a worthwhile product the advertising is linked to, and the advertising itself is probably wildly overvalued and shouldn't be enough to support any website at all.

It really is, people aren't looking for good things. They'll settle for trash now, and nobody even has to pretend that it's worthwhile. They're not happy with it, but they'll click it and skim it. We've managed to strip the fun out of talking about movies and games, FFS, I didn't think it'd be possible.
