I'm not going back to quote the Mike Flanagan hate but I like all of his shows and the Bent Neck Lady is one of the few horror concepts that genuinely scared me. Liking the prestige television written by Mike Flanagan is the hill I'm prepared to die on.

Idk if this is the person but I found this guy a while back and fell in love with his miniatures. He lives in the same state as me and if I can get the chance I want to hire him for a film project

I didn’t like haunting of hill house because the horror didn’t really grab me much. I’m not looking to get scared but I’m definitely looking to be engaged because I find horror to be a cool genre. And the show was just a bit too much of a drama for me.

Not that it’s this way for everyone but some of the people I know who love it don’t like horror much and that was kind of a ah ha moment.

my spouse and i gave haunting of Hill House two episodes and it was a tepid family drama with the occasionally arty ghost in the background and perhaps something eventually happened but the concept that you will take at least two hours of my time and deliver nothing is very disrespectful so we did not pursue further

I like video essays and I think they are popular for a reason and it feels a little weird how eager some people are to dunk on them and treat them like wholesale childish trash. It's ok to dislike a thing without trying to justify that dislike to others by saying they're stupid for liking that thing imo

Like you can admit they don't appeal to you without making GBS threads on them, in the same way podcasts haven't really clicked with me but I respect that they're really popular and beloved by a lot of people. Sure some of them are inevitably dumb and mockable but a lot of them are meticulously researched labors of love. video essays is the same

Hating "video essays" categorically is meaningless because it doesn't identify any specific topic of the myriad things a video essay could cover. Some things merit more attention and length than others. A 10 hour video about, say, the history of Nicaragua merits its length because the topic is incredibly complex. A 3 hour video about the cultural impact of iCarly is, likewise, fail

i like documentaries. video essays are a void created between documentaries and normal essays for low effort algorithmically targetted content made by guys with a shared speech impediment about topics that dont require or deserve tthe time.

An essay should be short and to the point. Most video essays are neither of those things.

If you can't condense the core of what your essay is about into a ten minute video then you need to go back to grade school English class imo

Video essays are just podcasts based on how people can listen to them in thw background and not miss out on anything. Not much like an essay and not very video. Seems dumb

yeah this is about where i stand. the youtube algorithm tried suggesting i watch some video essay where the title was like "12 hours analyzing metroid" or some poo poo, like the length was the point. if you're approaching it from that angle there is no way they can have any worth. but there are channels putting high amounts of effort into documentary-style videos on youtube that are pretty cool.
