Nope. Age of Adaline on my watchlist. Heard it's her best and the one that tickles my fancy.

NeoWanZaeed:
Why was dany turned into tyrant in GOT

kendrick9:
Yeah but I think She delivered her best acting performance deserving of an Oscar nomination in A simple Favor.
That's easily her best I have seen so far anyway.
Good movie too... A sequel is coming out next year.

How do you know he’s a rage-baiter if you don’t watch his videos 👀

Palehair:

I did use to watch his videos just to laugh at how he criticizes them, he does have some valid criticisms that makes sense compared to nerdrotic who I don't even want to get into but there are some that will tell you he's just farming for views and they are all filled with recipes of rage-bait from manipulation of movie scenes to fit his narrative like he did with glass onion to him choosing specific blockbusters or trending movies to discuss on which are mostly Disney content because hating on Disney gives you views now to his personal biases on the culture war and how it impacts movies forgetting we've gone down this route before. Don't even get me started on him criticizing movies that haven't been made yet or the ones whose trailer have been released like he did with prey (he had to release another video to say he was wrong only to criticize the movie again in his "drinkers after hours" video cast with his "team". How about how he also doesn't understand some movie or series scenes? the way he analyzes scenes in his "after hours" podcast is just steeped in his personal bias and somewhat dumb that he misses certain plot points as we see in the case of his "the last of us" and "one piece" reviews not to even talk about him screaming about movies and "the message" which is a good thing but he's so against the message that he's beginning to turn into what he actually hates because a movie didn't appeal to his own message. What's even more laughable is that he reviews movies that he didn't even see like his review of the new season of the boys had me gagging, a season he specifically said he didn't even watch, even his own audience trolled him in the comments

There are lots of examples that I can give but don't want to derail this thread any further, I don't listen to movie reviews especially the ones on YouTube because most are a cesspool for toxicity, I watch and I form my own opinion

Illusioneffect:

You’re definitely right - in a sense.
Unfortunately, farming for views is what almost every YouTuber does - he's no different - movie YouTubers pick the most talked about topic and form their own opinion about it - that is his job! What makes him different is because he talks about not only movies and pop culture relevant topics on movies but trailers too- even Jeremy Jahns does that sometimes🤷🏽‍♂️ you say all this like he only talks negative about movies which is totally false! He has said multiple times that Hollywood hasn't been making good movies and he makes videos of how dumb some movies are - and he's not wrong- he has his style of reviewing movies and that's not wrong - he doesn't need to change his style because people say he's rage-baiting since it works for him. He never said you shouldn't form your own opinion- it's still his opinion and you're free to use the information you got anyway you want.

Illusioneffect:
If you really think YouTubers don't have a bias when forming an opinion about movies- you're totally wrong- some Movie critics hate a movie just because of a subject matter being discussed - like Sound of Freedom that was bombed with bad reviews from critics just because they don't like the guy in the movie and subject matter. Drinker has his personal bias - of course! But don't think every other critic doesn't. It doesn't make him different

Kaczynski:
Korean. 9/10

Broskyjames:
wrong thread and this discuss is like 5 years late, doesn't change anything

Palehair:

I have said he does give valid criticisms but as a critic, you should be neutral which he's far from because he knows his audience and he knows what they want to hear especially if such movies are used as ammunitions for the culture war, he doesn't even have to watch it like he did with the new season of the boys, he just joins the internet bandwagon to bash something he hasn't even seen or goes as far to

Palehair:

he doesn't even have to watch it like he did with the new season of the boys, he just joins the internet bandwagon to bash something he hasn't even seen or goes as far to manipulate the movie scenes so as to make the writer's job look incompetent as in the case of glass onion, now anyone who looked at his review won't even bother to watch that movie not knowing "drinker" manipulated the scenes to make the movie look stupid in the review...... Now is that a movie critic to you or someone who just wants to give his audience what they crave? Something to talk crap about

Illusioneffect:

This is not true. I even believe he's more authentic than most movie critics because you already know what to get from his reviews. Take a look at HoTD - he made a video before it premiered that it had the potential to suck! but after watching the first season, he changed his mind- also, he has been a hater of Disney star wars projects and Disney overall- it'll do him well if he bashed every Disney and Star Wars project that comes out but he never does - he gave a good review for shows like Andor, Mandalorian s1 and S2, which to everyone's POV were good shows, even Disney movies like Deadpool and Wolverine and others - he wasn't bias🤷🏽‍♂️ unlike some reviewers like Reel Rejects and Cinepals who watched the Acolyte in pain and never gave a bad review even tho it showed in their edit and face that it was bad because they didn't want to offend the overlords. He has always kept it real🤷🏽‍♂️ - to himself.

Illusioneffect:
In terms of the boys - he has already said right from s3 - he won't be watching the boys s4 - the video wasn't a review of the boys s4 - it was just a discussion about its merit and counterpoints, he never said it was a review

Palehair:

A discussion about the merits and counterpoints for a season you haven't seen is wild

Palehair:

I guess you didn't bother to check out the other examples I gave of his shadiness but I digress. Even if you are right about HOTD which you aren't but you may not know that because many of his fans don't watch his drinkers after or whatever it's called podcast, he bashed the series there again with his buddies. The others examples I gave have already labelled him as one who has bias because there's no way I'm trusting him to properly review a movie after his manipulation of movie scenes to bring in comments, that alone has already ruined any credibility that he has as a critic

Illusioneffect:

It is totally possible to criticise something you haven't seen. It's like saying 'I can't criticise Cuties because I haven't seen it, that's bollocks to me! You don't have to watch child porn before you criticise it. If people had told him already what's going on in the show, he has every right to criticise without watching

Illusioneffect:
You are the one handpicking my points 😂
I watch his podcasts and his after hours sometimes and I don't need to watch every of his video to make my point. Bashing a series doesn't mean he hates it. He could say he hates a particular part of the series but he never said the series was bad overall

OhBritannia:
The duel (2023) is a solid 2/10 for me.
Worst movie i have seen in 2024, this is a total waste of time and resources both for the casts and audience.
The people that wrote the scrip and the studio that made the movie, are all jokers and clowns 🤡
Even kidsco, nickelodeon and cartoon network won't make a movie as terrible as this.

SOZINN:



This is the first time I've seen you rate a movie this low, this project must be shit.

Been trying to watch 2001: A Space Odyssey and man that thing is boring as Bleep!!

I'm about 1hr into the movie and I still don't even know the point of the story I'm watching so far for the past two days. Slept off in the first 30 mins. Continued the next day, another dosing off in the next 30 mins and I no know wetin dey occur. 👀👀

It has nice visuals/VFX that somehow holds up to this day but I hate the sound scoring or sound engineering of this movie. The sounds are just jarring and off-putting. Sharp sounds just comes out from nowhere I begin to wonder if it's meant to scare me or something. Cos this type of technique is what is synonymous to horror genre. This one doesn't even blends it well. The sounds just comes too sharp and at times too loud it doesn't match the previous sound score at the background.

Omo, I no know how people enjoyed this film and it's rated highly amongst all time top films. Me I never see anything unique yet asides from the visuals that's very good for a 1968 flick. Still don't even know the point of that 18 minutes scene with the Apes in the opening sequence. 🤦🏽‍♂️
Or I'm probably the weird one. Make I sha try watch am finish.

This is easily the weakest I've watched of Stanley Kubrick so far.
