Glad it finally arrived. Disappointed that it was so long and meandering and really not about TFA. I didn't expect a huge diss on TFA, though. Also, no pizza rolls.

After the long boring segment on ring theory I thought he would a Jar Jar Sith Lord bit but it never happened. Probably because it's an actual fascinating theory.

What are some other good youtube folks for quality movie reviews or deep dives on technical or story detail that folks here like? I really like Every Frame a Painting but other than that I haven't found much.

I used to watch Mr Sunday Movies but it is too nerd culture for me (plus the lootcrate stuff). The RLM video that satirized the "59 things in the rogue one trailer that YOU missed" type of video seemed to be targeting that one directly.

Nerdwriter is pretty good. Filmaker IQ is technical stuff, rarely updated, but very well done.

Does anyone else wish they would change it up every so often and review good films rather than nerd schlock? In their year in review wrap-ups they will usually mention real movies and it's obvious they watch other stuff, too.

E:

Kinda surprised they liked La La Land. At least the ending which was the worst part. I mean, there was so much in that film to tear down.

The two leads singing was usually bad with a few okay moments. Their dancing was slow and showed that they weren't dancers. At least Gosling could play piano which was cool.

But that ending was totally undeserved. If you are going to build towards dramatic moments, you need to earn them. They didn't. They just slapped on a nonsensical ending with the hope that it would be emotional. Apparently, it worked for a lot of people, but it made a good movie bad in my eyes.

It's funny. I was really enjoying the film, in spite of its flaws, until the end. Then I was just confused as to why they'd pull sad a stupid swerve. And then every day after I found myself liking the film even less. Now I am at a point where I just don't like the film at all.

La La Land is a very good film and I loving hated it because I think I have become intolerant toward getting jerked around in movies. The way they shift from real-world colors to bright-rear end primary colors when the songs kick up is fuckin great though. Like everything about that movie is so good, I just don't gently caress with emotional manipulation anymore.

Especially if they don't actually earn those emotions. If it is manipulative and nonsensical it takes a bit away from the movie. It was well made but...yeah. Another major problem is that it is a musical that has no catchy numbers. They might be fun in the moment, but if you don't leave the theater with at least one song in your head, the musical has failed as a musical.

Take the music out of the film. Take the dancing out of the film. Fill those segments in with more plot and you have a better film. Especially that idiotic ending. For that to pay off, it needs a couple scenes that will finish that arc. Just ending an arc with no beginning is not fair to the audience.

I always see the Jedi in Return of the Jedi as a lovely film that shows that Lucas had decided that making childrens toys was more important than making a good movie.

Was any of this made up? Because he breaks at the 9/11 footage thing at the end which makes me think that at least was fake. So, without seeing this movie, what is true? Was the fat lady taco joke real?

Some is real, much is fake. The movie as a whole is bad. But some of the scenes are funny enough to justify watching the whole thing. It is very much SA style humor.

Space Cop was bad but it was an excuse to give RLM some money for all of the entertainment they've given me that didn't require making a patreon account.

Which is why I was asking about their films.

I wish RLM would review some animated stuff rather than constant bad superhero movies. I don't think they have ever done a Pixar film. True, Pixar has gone off the rails but whatever. They could have done Kubo. That was great.
