Oh, hey, looks like Jay Bauman is, out of nowhere, branching out into doing vlogs now! He brings up some interesting points, but I'm not entirely sure I'm with him. Maybe in the followups.

Slate Action posted:'Oh man, I wonder what Jay and Mike will have to say about the Oscar Nomi--' BOYHOOD? BOYHOOD! BOYHOOD BOYHOOD BOYHOOD I couldn't disagree with you any more, and honestly Boyhood deserves every ounce of hazing it gets. There are tons of better films out there with good acting, gripping stories, and actual character and style to them that could be getting attention, but instead people are focused on fellatating Boyhood instead.

That is racism and they are responsible for it. They're racist because they don't hate another race? You're gonna have to explain that one because that doesn't make a lick of sense.

It's funny how so many people who consume RLM media don't 'get' RLM media. Plinkett is kind of the perfect combination of the cynical sides of both Mike and Jay, the things they find awful and disgusting. Watching the stuff Jay has made on his own really shows how much of the Plinkett character comes from him, the things he's afraid of and finds disgusting. All of it they kind of pile onto him to make as revolting a character as possible, which is entirely the point.

DoctorWhat posted:the trouble with plinkett is the same trouble as all satire: Yup. You've got it totally right. Look at these hack frauds, editing, acting, building sets, doing effects, and producing content on a shoestring budget. How dare they hope to attain the comedy heights of an international star with all of a channel's weight thrown behind him. They just don't have the talent, they should give up.

PresidentBeard posted:ACES Sephiroth expressed the exact same point as you without coming off as a hyperbolic whiny baby. I responded in the exact manner that post deserved, respond in kind so to speak. RLM, as a group, has far more talent than Colbert has as an individual, I don't even see how this is an argument that can be had. Their level of dedication to their films, side projects, and art is what more people getting into filmmaking should try to emulate. Each person has their own style, and it shows through, even when working collectively individual facets of each person stand out. Comparing them to a huge, polished television show and calling them worse than the face of it is a huge insult.

Tracula posted:Since I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin I just like to imagine that Plinkett is literally my neighbor and that I have a psychopath who tortures women and reviews the Star Wars prequels just a stones throw away I'm pretty sure you can hit two with one stone in this city without trying too hard. And honestly, as much as I deeply respect Mike and Jay, and the rest of the RLM crew for their attitudes towards filmmaking and dedication to doing things themselves and not falling into the some of the other pitfalls other small time guys who got relatively big did, there are aspects of them that do piss me off. Mike being a curmudgeonly workaholic in particular kinda blows from what I've seen on the PR streams. Edit: In other news more directly related to the topic, I recently discovered Regular Car Reviews, and even though I know nothing about cars at all, they're really informative and entertaining.

How is it weird? He's kind of an rear end in a top hat when he isn't working on a project, and he gets pretty pissy about stuff very easily when he's not actively working on something like a shoot or whatnot. It doesn't make his work any worse, but it's kind of a personal blemish that comes through to watching his other stuff. I mean at least he doesn't go on huge twitter rants when he's frustrated at least. He just gets kinda rude and snippy. I don't think finding out that a guy you respect a lot is kind of an rear end in a top hat in real life and being troubled by it is a weird thing though but whatever.

Hbomb, what you're going on seems to be more of a Tolkien 'applicability versus allegory' thing, is that what you're going for? Obviously it's not a 1-to-1 perfect match but it seems to fit better than auteur theory in this case. That said, I think both sides have merit but that's not really relevant to the conversation, just an opinion.

RahXephon is more Raideen than Eva anyways, just with a heaping helping of classical music inspiration. Mind you, enough music focus that music is to it as religion is to eva, but still. Though how the ending came out of nowhere confuses me, given the main character's name and what it drew inspiration from. This anime talk has gone on forever though, so have some canadians talking about Space Cop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0hLvkA5eVE

They've been taking down videos on Nico like crazy, and been trying to leverage more power to take stuff down. They're a pretty lovely company all round.

I'm totally okay with riding the superhero film train over and over again, because they're actually fun to watch. I'd rather watch a million fun movies about dudes in brightly colored costumes beating up hammy supervillains than the glut of dreary cynical bullshit that just seemed so everpresent for a while.

I viciously dislike Nicholas Sparks movies, but I don't give a flying gently caress about if other people go see them, or how much money they make. Basically this. You say you don't want to be a party pooper but you also say you want a bunch of people to lose money and jobs, and for your friends to be disappointed because you don't like something. Because if they start failing, that's basically what's gonna happen.

BottledBodhisvata posted:Matthewmatosis on youtube is honestly among the best game reviewers out there right now, and it's great because he doesn't do stupid skits, doesn't go on camera, and talks both broadly and in detail about the games themselves, their gameplay, aesthetics, etc. I've been watching his MGS series stuff, and I'm currently up to MGS3, but I think it's being really generous to say that he "gets" Kojima, or a lot of MGS stuff. Going on a long, whinging tirade about the hover troops or saying that the Pain/Fear bossfights are "stand in one place and shoot with a gun" kind of show him not getting a lot of stuff. He's still leagues better than most, mind you, so I can't really say too much.

BottledBodhisvata posted:He's pretty spot on about the Pain fight. It's a stupid location for him to ambush you. In any other room in the game, the Pain would be a much, much harder fight. If you fought him in the Fear's location, for instance? He'd be able to move around and you'd get chased by bees and not be able to dive underwater to escape them. It would've been harder, but there's still more to it than just standing around, shooting guns, and waiting for him to be vulnerable. Cooking off grenades to blast his bees off before they can carry them away is just one example of using tricks to speed up bosses that the game has. Same with the Fear and tricking him into eating poisoned stuff, or cutting Fury's suit. It's just being disingenuous. And the complaints about technology really stick out to me, because, you know, this is a series where in the newest installment we have all sorts of advanced tech way beyond anything there is now, but way back in the 80's. Getting bent out of shape on anachronisms is like the weirdest thing to do in a Metal Gear game. And suggesting having to do a little minigame in the cure screen stands out as particularly terrible. And I think that getting Kojima kind of requires getting past the whole gameplay to story ratio he keeps harping on.
