RLM isn't lying to anyone? I thought I made it clear, they legitimately believe the stuff they put out. Anyone can generate laughs by having characters kvetch about Star Wars or Steam being DRM. It's funnier when it's stuff they actually honest-to-God believe it.

why wouldn't they believe it.

Jesus loving christ shut the gently caress uuuuuuuuuuuuupppppp. Stop engaging the literal crazy person. Don't look at him, don't read his posts, don't acknowledge that he exists, shut the gently caress up already, this thread doesn't need to be the bibs crazy person power hour, god drat guys.

Hardcore Henry half in the bag. Okay. Sure. That's a topic. I actually disagree with them for once, it was a fun little entertaining ultraviolent romp. I think trying to elevate it kind of takes the magic out of it. It knows it's action schlock and it's in on the joke, and runs with it.

These are people who actually, sincerely, legitimately believe that their first videos to go viral were not long-form Not My Star Wars videos. There's a gif made here of one of them calling such an analysis "horribly wrong". If you can't find the humor in that, I don't know what to tell you.

If that's your interpretation of how that went down, you are the thickest man alive. Reminder:

I'm with Mike on Gal Gadot. I have no idea where her praise comes from. She's barely in the film, and her fight scenes look like they were lifted from a mobile games commercial. I don't know if she's going to be terrible in a WW feature, but I wouldn't be surprised.

I loving love the part where he says they only dislike the prequels because they didn't grow up with them right after they rave about a scene in a star wars film released less than half a year ago and featuring no characters from the original films.

That's unfortunate, I kinda hoped the movie would be better. But it's also pretty much what I expected.

It's seriously not good. There's the kernel of a really loving good movie in there, but the filmmakers forgot that you need to have downtime in an action movie, so it's basically just a 90-minute blur of people dying in gory ways with a brief Sharlto Copley intermission about 2/3 of the way in.

How are those two statements contradictory? People genuinely believe things that are patent falsehoods all the time.

They genuinely believe that their Star Wars reviews are not just Not My Star Wars. They genuinely believe that Luthor doesn't have motivation in BvS. These things are lies, obviously, but they genuinely believe them. That's what makes them saying those things so goddamned funny.

If they weren't on internet review show, what they've said on the subjects we're discussing would be on the "stupidest things you've heard today" thread in PYF. Which, like I said, is paradoxical because RLM/PreRec don't otherwise tend to be those sorts of people.

Have you considered that, in fact, they are not those type of people and you are projecting your weirdo hangups onto their very well-explained reviews of why the prequels are bad. They were the same people the whole time, you just can't suss out that they're making perfectly valid arguments that can not indeed be summed up as "Not My Star Wars"

Yeah? Three hours of Not My Star Wars. Sure, they used a lot more words than that, but Not My Star Wars all the same.

Hell, the only reason I watched it in the first place was someone telling me it was a satire of Not My Star Wars thoughts, and since I was already a fan of Hitb by then, I figured I should watch it.

Man, it was a weird moment 20min or so in when I realized, no, it's not a satire.


Eh, like most things discussed about me, it's way overblown. Someone mad about Ess Jay Dubs on Twitter cited the lady that wrote Overlord 2 as a Good Female Writer, so I mistakenly thought it was an Uncle Tom "one of the Good Ones" kinda thing. When I realized the dude was bullshitting me, I apologized for being a rear end in a top hat to someone I didn't know from Adam (and whose name I've forgotten).

I used to be involved in it by mocking folks who support it, but once the above-linked stepping-in-it, I stopped doing it because... well, I stepped in it. :shrug:

I've always found the similarities between RLM's SW videos and that insipid hate group to be remarkable. It's inherently one thing (hating diversity/Not My Star Wars), but there's an attempt to paint it as something else entirely (ethics in gaming journalism/more than just Not My Star Wars).
