^---Holy poo poo we get it, the thread's moved past this.DStecks posted:Which he qualified with "Everybody tells me it's great, and I should really play it before passing judgement, but I just cannot get past the art style". It's sort of strange since the art style that he seems to hate only really become apparent in CG cut scenes and there weren't a huge amount as I recall. I guess the portraits as well?

His Ultima series is actually really informative, fun and good. Like the episode sup to Ultima 8 are him chatting about the series and it's really interesting and charming. Yeah ther are some bad jokes, but it's clear he loves the series and it shows. Ultima 8 was still really good and he clearly went into the issues that game had. 9 is when it went into stupid loving BETRAYAL memes and wasting loads and loads of time. I've said it before, but the dude just burned himself out on being "I'M SO ANGRY ABOUT MOVIES AND GAMES" and miserable all the time.

One of Linkara's biggest issues is that he's really not funny enough to pull off an angry rant and not seem incredibly grating and annoying. When he pieces together and clearly states the issues in the work he's excellent and interesting, but holy poo poo is it annoying when he slips into those rants, especially with his weird anti-cursing thing where he says poo poo like "WHAT THE FUNK AND WAGNAL" which is just cringey.

Mr. Enter is really really strange. I'm 90% certain that he literally doesn't understand the concept of sarcasm since he acts baffled and really angry at super obvious jokes in kid's cartoons. Like he'll get super angry and yell about people acting out of character or being strange/mean when it's incredibly obvious it's just a joke.

It's more of a general comment, but I feel like this whole nerd thing about "plot holes" and poo poo you'll see with Confused Matthew and Cinema Sins is people not understanding human reactions to things. Someone in another thread made the point that it's like they're watching movies like robots looking for the most perfect and streamlined way any character could do any action and anything that isn't perfectly logical is a ~PLOT HOLE~.

Which Bubblegum Crisis had that episode where a guy finds out his wife was cheating on him, dies and has his mind transferred to a killer robot or something? I remember it because when Comcast first introduced On Demand when I was a kid that was the first anime I watched on it. My absolute favorite "plot hole" complaint was a nerd being legitimately baffled and annoyed that the dude would go out of his way to save a girl who as I recall broke up with him in Cloverfield. "BEEP BOOP This does not compute. The hu-man male is risking his life for the hu-man female even though the romantic relationship has ended. This is most illogical" OldTennisCourt fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Dec 31, 2015 |

I really hope Linkara makes 2016 the year of terrible event comics and does a bunch in the style of his Identity Crisis/Countdown/Ultimatum reviews. There are so many he can do but I personally wanna see him look at the incomprehensible Final Crisis, Civil War (it'd be topical too!), and the extremely unpleasant and awful Blackest Night.

Tracula posted:Frank Miller and Michael Bay are also easy targets and low hanging fruit. Doesn't mean they aren't worth picking. Kitchen Nightmares US actually rules really hard and if it's staged do you honestly think the show wouldn't be sued into oblivion? You really think a dude is gonna be cool with somebody faking how awful his place is and planting dead rats and poo poo? The show was sued once as I recall and they lost.

Both Kitchen Nightmares shows are awesome in their own ways. UK is a very interesting in depth look at restaurant management and the foibles that people with little knowledge get into. It's much more calm and the mistakes and usually more understandable issues with running the place. US is bonkers and deals with literally insane people who have no clue what running a restaurant entails at all. Yes there is more family drama and dumb gimmicks but the sheer insanity of places like Amy's Baking Company or the horrendous Mexican restaurant with buckets of ancient refried beans is worth any of the bad stuff. Gordon Ramsay is a hero.

Nah, 5 of his movies, 6 if you include Devil, have twist endings. Spoilers I guess if saying a movie has a twist counts? Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, The Village, The Visit and Devil.

Doug's just really dumb when it comes to analyzing the deeper meanings of films most times (in a weird twist his Eyes Wide Shut video is...actually not half bad though). He's best when dealing with patently absurd garbage but when he moves into things that require more knowledge of film and a deeper look into it's flaws he kind of falls totally apart.

Kim Justice has been doing a review a day for all of this month and all of them are pretty great (aside from the one gimmick one he does in some kind of character for the Destruction Derby episode which I sorta found annoying). I really hope Kim keeps getting subscribers and views, maybe we see a FF 8 retrospective in the future! Newest video is on World of Illusion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igVbdf2Yo4I

I was a Sega kid too which is why Kim's stuff really speaks to me, especially that Streets of Rage retrospective. It's honestly refreshing to see someone doing a really interesting in depth style look at differing topics in gaming rather than doing pissed off reviews or Let's Plays. The Rise of Robots video is loving awesome and I wish more internet critics followed in that style of video.

Kim Justice presents a ludicrously detailed and well researched 47 MINUTE documentary style look at Ocean Software: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0TE927j4cs Oh and expect one review of that level of detail every week this month from looking at the schedule she posted in an earlier video. The sheer amount of effort Kim puts into these videos is absurd and every single one of them is amazingly watchable and interesting.

This gif and your videos regarding wrestling games had me thinking: I know you're branched out into game films a bit, have you thought of branching out more and doing a look at something non gaming related to do with Wrestling? Maybe a look at a certain era, a certain PPV (Maybe Summerslam 92?) or just a retrospective of your memories of it as a whole from when you watched.

Hbomberguy posted:Incidentally, Robocop is one of the greatest satires of fascism ever made. It's about a robot programmed for justice and his attempts to truly help the world, even going as far as to inhumanly, unforgivingly target the corruption of his own department. It's a movie that says, if cops really were a force for justice, they would be shooting the rich, whose arms would get super-long for no reason as they fall to their deaths. It's a beautiful message that stands the test of time. Robocop 3 is really bad but it kinda almost reverses in on itself and becomes an unintentional satire of 80's to early 90's action films taken to an absurd level. It's just so loving stupid and hits so many of the worst kinds of tropes of those sorts of movies I almost feel like it's intentional on some level.

Baka-nin posted:The problem with R3 is that it's one of those films that look like they were made by people who didn't see the first two, nor read the scripts or spoke with the previous team for any serious length of time, but did get some excerpts, production stills and highlight reels. That's where I'm coming from where it hits this almost absurd parody of that style of film. It's taking a hyper violent and dark film and sucking out everything that made it popular, changing it in ways that totally clash with it's basic concepts, the lead character isn't played by the same actor, it's toned down because there was a very popular cartoon/it had a huge toy market etc. It just hits all those tropes and it a perfect distillation of that type of film.

She looks like she'll steal the movie. Let's not act like Harley's every had amazing lines in any interpretation she's ever had. Also Moviebob seems to be in the minority as a few other internet critics, including Chris Stuckmann (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoDGX0b5lzo) say it's a loving mess of a movie.

I guess personally I don't understand the whole idea of wanting the MCU or DCU to fail. I can understand not watching them, but actively hoping interest wanes and they fail and superhero movies disappear just seems so loving weird. How does them being popular affect anything? Plenty of other poo poo gets made you can watch and enjoy. It's just such a weird concept to me.

Kim Justice just put out an HOUR AND A HALF documentary on Heroes of Wrestling, perhaps the worst Pro Wrestling PPV of all time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yBOisPxoBk Even if you don't give a poo poo about wrestling you need to watch it purely due to the sheer amount of effort Kim puts into it. It still blows me away the insane amount of research and work Kim puts into her videos, it's madness.
