SteelMentor posted:I really can't wait to see future livestreams these guys do, if what Lindsey was talking about comes true. Topics like the one discussed never really get brought up... anywhere, and it was incredibly entertaining to listen to. It's really interesting to see this kind of introspection. This reminds me of a longer interview with Ellis, on Shut Up and Talk, where similar themes were explored: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAvSjTiZYkI Also, just recently, Christopher Franklin (Errant Signal), reviewing THOTH while trying to consider why he normally doesn't analyze mechanics-focused games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS6p_5d6Xlk

Have you all heard that Jim Sterling and some other critics where invited over to Valve to raise their concerns about the bucketloads of crap on Steam Greenlight and how to make sure that doesn't happen again with their new revamp? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1OyenZvskc

I find them insightful, actually. One that stands out is that covering the formation and interpretations of Santa Claus, which was especially informative because I didn't grow up in the US. She does seem to be going into more long-form essays these days, which might be more up your alley. Or not.

I'm actually a big fan of JFSS, I've even been a patron for the past few months, but really, not quite sure why he'd give a worse score to a game he didn't seem to react to as negatively. Maybe he's taking it more personally because he supported the Kickstarter?

Trash Boat posted:Assuming you're talking about his Mighty No. 9 score compared to Yooka-Laylee, it should be pointed out that Jim actually commissioned Laura to write the MN9 review on his site since he couldn't put up with it enough to review it himself. Oh! Well, that explains why it's "4" instead of "4/10", I guess. I didn't know that.

I changed my mind. I can see how people could hate Yooka-Laylee more than Mighty No. 9. There's been no footage of the latter that's been as broken gameplay-wise as this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63M3LyuSzPM

So this is currently only available to patrons, but Lindsay Ellis just posted the intro for her series, which will introduce film studies through Michael Bay's Transformers movies. This is going to be glorious, can't wait to see how it turns out.

A lot of interesting people came out of that platform, though. It's probably a decent time to do a retrospective, you still might be able to find all the videos and interview the relevant people, who knows whether Youtube will still be around in five years?

Sarcopenia posted:Lovecraft and Tolkien's works (The Hobbit is Tolkien's exception) are extremely boring and agonizing to read. "Oh, this horrible thing is about to happen. It's so horrible, I can't even talk about it right now. But it's coming! Oh yes!" * 2000 is most of At the Mountains of Madness. I mean, aside from that it's interesting world-building, but come on. The Dream Cycle is cool, though. There you find out that Lovecraft reaaalllly loved cats.

He makes a joke about Bill Clinton, then Bill O'Reily, then Bill Cosby-- then makes some comment "Wait, are, like, all people named Bill adulterers". Bill O' did not have Fox pay money on his behalf for adultery, either.

Has anyone brought up Georg Rockall-Schmidt before? He does a lot of analyses and retrospectives on movies and such. These two are good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOUf9RIoDco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhtHJuEJBME He has a lot of other type videos I haven't really got into yet, like these zero-punctuation-esque musings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg3rjzBUeLI

adamcantsleep posted:YES. I have no nostalgia for any iteration of Transformers, nor have I seen any of the movies in their entirety, but this is great stuff. Lindsay, The Whole Plate is great and you should feel Most of what she has been covering since she started have been movies and shows I've not watched, either because I wasn't the right age for them at the time, or because despite what people say about US cultural hegemony, not everything big here gets as big overseas. The analysis, however, has always been really interesting (and the old gimmicks funny, although it's good that they remain in the past), more than enough to keep me coming back for more.

CelticPredator posted:I actually really like Michael Bay and for a lot of reasons he's one of my favorite directors. The Rock is a goddamn classic film and Bad Boys 2 is legitimately insane. Is her video a "Michael Bay sucks" with flowery language? Or something interesting like the Every Frame of Painting? The premise of this series is taking Michael Bay, and specifically his Transformers movies, seriously as cinema and applying various critical theories to them. I didn't come out of what she's posted so far thinking that "Michael Bay sucks", even though I do actually personally not like most of his movies and don't care about Transformers.
