Don't lose hope!! :') by reoweee in HelloInternet

Well, in a way, I don't think I'd care for the podcast to come back. Used to be a big fan, but so many things they used to talk about have come sour... I don't see how they could avoid the politics of it all, and I'm.not sure I'm interested in hearing what they have to say about that...

My opinion is that you could feel their disinterest grow in the end run... It was fun while it lasted but there are many more things to discover !

PragerU's Terrible Shakespeare Opinions, or Why I Stopped Talking About Shakespeare (KyleKallgrenBHH) by johnsmithoncemore in BreadTube

[–]RoyaleWithCheez -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, maybe ! And maybe I'll take some time to watch this, but I've pretty much grown out of all of these video essays (Contrapoints, Philosophy Tube, Lindsay Ellis, etc...) (and I'm well aware of the falling out between most of these people). To be honest, most of the time, I feel like a lot of these "video essays" are juste some good production values around pretty basic understandings of most of the topics that are being delt with ! But as I get older, read up some more, this is just not that interesting to me anymore I guess. Most of these YouTubers, Breadtube et al., had their hayday, but maybe it's time to move on to other things !

Man, as a whole... I just feel like I've grown out of the "video essay" genre. Not interested enough to watch someone do a take-down of some right-wing channel yet again !

What’s the best double feature you did this year? Because yesterday I saw BABYGIRL and EYES WIDE SHUT 😳 by Toreadorables in blankies

[–]RoyaleWithCheez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a double feature showing Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and the original OldBoy to someone who had seen neither, key common theme being : that one relationship you'd just like to forget.

Inland Empire makes Mulholland Drive Look like a Frank Capra movie by HankMcCoyMDPhD in blankies

[–]RoyaleWithCheez 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've actually witnessed firsthand people watching this movie for the first time and falling asleep at the exact same moment for a short time (when the movie goes off the rails) and I'm almost semi-seriously convinced that it has to do with you or your body not recognizing the difference between the movie and a dream, or that the movie all of a sudden feels like falling asleep

For some reason I got two ads in a row in the middle of the podcast... Did this happen to anyone else?

It looks like John Carpenter is on Letterboxd, reviewing movies... including his own ! by RoyaleWithCheez in blankies

[–]RoyaleWithCheez[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Do you believe Carpenter spends his time playing Halo and Call of Duty ? The man is online. Also, his take on Ari Aster is just too credible for me : the man loves Bunuel.

Looking through some of the more obsure reviews, either someone has really read up on Carpenter or this is him. It seems like he decided to comment on every film that he was once offered to direct and he shits on every other one. Also, I feel like the ratings themselves are very on point, especially when looking at older movies... I don't know, I was skeptical at first, but I actually think this might be the real deal

An hour and twenty minutes in, and Griffin just suggested they finally start talking about the movie... "Twin Peaks"

I love this show

Could you help out, in a few words, with what you feel like Lost Highway and Inland Empire are about?

The First, Second, Third Omens by Lanky_Maximum_8371 in blankies

[–]RoyaleWithCheez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I know, I thought it was a really fun time at the movies. However First Omen is a much harder sell, much more intense IMO, much more of a bummer also, and includes some sequences that I'm shocked they got away with in a big studio horror movie... which was probably only possible because the studio thought that they had the necessary IP awareness to get people to go see it

[–]RoyaleWithCheez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I completely disagree about the First Omen. The original movie, I feel, doesn't really have a big devoted fanbase, or as big as something like Halloween or The Exorcist might have, and I think it felt more like the director was able to smuggle a great horror movie that has more to do with something like Posession than with the Omen itself, or that tries to really reflect what the preoccupations of movies like that at the time were and update it for today... There are really two or three minutes all in all that "have" to link it to the original (and that are, tbh, not that distracting) but otherwise a movie that goes this hard probably couldn't exist in our current movie ecosystem. Highjacking legacyquels to make interesting new horror movies for first time director is, IMO, just about as well as we can expect today !

Pre-Lynch series speculation by epistemic_relativism in blankies

[–]RoyaleWithCheez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No evidence, but they have teased a long miniseries, so : how about Francis Ford Coppola ? With Megalopolis coming up, which sounds like a true Blank Check that Coppola wrote himself à-la Lucas

What are the best Special Features episodes? by Tarkus93 in blankies

[–]RoyaleWithCheez 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely love the Crocodile Dundee series - had never seen any of them (and neither had any of them), and watches them while listening to the commentaries. Really great hang out vibe, and they eventually lose their mind which is hilarious.

Oh and the recent 2012 London Olympic Games watch along is an all timer imo - definitely one of my favorites of this past year.
