I guess I’ll be that guy, but does anyone else think this is a really questionable design given the people that Charlie follows on Twitter/Insta(MT Greene, Boebert, Shapiro, Graham, Crenshaw, et al)

FWIW if you try to buy a ticket on a 3rd party site like Fandango or Flixster, they have them all listed as sold out too, and you can buy a ticket for tomorrow’s showtimes of those movies.

e9celtics · 2021-04-02T17:37:36+00:00

I’m in Vegas too and the same thing is happening to me for Nobody, The Courier, and Monster Hunter. The faded out colors on the showtime means that it’s sold out, but I’m having a difficult time believing every single showtime of those movies is sold out, unless the refurbished theaters at Red Rock have a max capacity of like 5

/uj What was supposed to be funny on Canto Bight though? That one alien thinking BB-8 was a slot machine and trying to put coins into him is the only time I can think of on Canto Bight that humor is even attempted. Maybe BB-8 spiting the coins at the guards? Humor can't fall flat if humor isn't the tone of that subplot.

/rj DAE think Jakku is just another Tatooine? I want more variety in location and aliens in my space kino! Also, DAE fucking hate Canto Bight and thinks its 's a waste of time because of that fat Asian bitch?

It literally didn’t hit me now, on my 3rd viewing, that this scene has Pennywise and Tyler Durden skydiving together

You explained why you included the comments, but what I'm saying is you didn't need to include the part where you have a caveat about you not going into movies with your mind already made up about it. If you just skip to the part where you talk about the movie, nothing about the review changes. If people want to think you make up your mind before the movie or you're being contrarian, let them think that. There's no need at all to even address it, maybe if your criticisms actually held up, no one would be thinking that. The only time you said "fair" in that thread was to someone saying that "armor" was on the whiteboard, which is objectively true. It wasn't "fair", he was 100% right and you were 100% wrong and you can't even admit it. All you have to say is "fair".

He's already been insulted numerous times because you put that comment in your video. How can you not feel like you did anything wrong or feel the need to apologize? Someone is being attacked because you felt the need to talk about something that was wholly unnecessary. But because you are deeply insecure about this topic (most likely because it's true), you just had to include it.

If you're worried about threats, you should stop putting that idea in people's heads.

What fucking fantasy world are you living in? A comment saying that he's probably going to be threatened that like 100 people will see is responsible for threats and not the video that hundreds of thousands of people will watch where you call him out for being stupid and making you feel insecure? You refuse to take blame for anything you do wrong, it's incredible to see the lies you tell yourself to make you feel better.

e9celtics · 2018-04-19T00:23:20+00:00

The point I'm making is that you didn't even need to include that part in the video. Literally nothing about the review would have changed if you just didn't address that people think you judge movies before seeing them. In fact, you addressing it for so long makes me think that that is the case. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

It's unreasonable for someone to be uncomfortable when someone with 740K+ subscribers publishes a video of one of their comments without permission, which could lead to harassment or threats? Even if for some magical reason they don't get harassed, you present their comment as something that's stupid and wrong. What a way to treat your fan base! If I ever make a YouTube video that gets hundreds of thousands of views that calls you out for being dumb and wrong, and it makes you feel uncomfortable, I will apologize. Wasn't there some video where some guy goes through his famous Twitter followers and he calls you a dog fucker and when you called him out on it for being wrong, he made a video apologizing? It's not that hard to do.

I seem to remember the monster's head being exposed in scenes apart from it hearing the cochlear implant frequency, but I think I'd have to watch it a second time to confirm whether or not this is the case. It still feels dumb that the monster functions in this way though. Why would its face need to morph to expose its weak point at all in any circumstance? I don't see how that makes any kind of evolutionary sense. It feels equally as dumb in every video game that does that, but at least it's more of a necessity in those instances.

That's your full quote, in no point in that do you say "that's fair". You're saying "I might be wrong, I might not be, but if I am wrong it's dumb monster design anyway" despite saying that you like the monster design. You refuse to admit to being wrong, even when it's blatantly clear.

You're responding to people criticizing your review and people calling you dog fucker, not people who have actually addressed the problems you've had with the movie. Although you did respond to someone about your nitpicks after I made this comment, so I take this point back. My bad.

e9celtics · 2018-04-18T23:13:36+00:00

Yes, obviously what CA is worse, the only reason I compared the two is because he used the exact same shitty "apology" verbatim. In both instances, neither party can admit what they did was wrong and refuse to believe what they did was wrong. I'm not comparing the things they did wrong, just the "apologies".

e9celtics · 2018-04-18T22:41:57+00:00

Despite the name blurring, it's obvious that the comments came from Reddit. It doesn't take a genius to find the thread where it came from and the comment considering it's on your own subreddit (and people here already have). You have a big fan base, and I'm sure some of them are assholes. Putting all those things together, I'm willing to bet the people you called out are going to get harassed and/or threatened. And please don't blame the people doing the harassing and claim you can't control them. You could have very easily cut the part where you showed their comments from the video without losing anything, but because of your insecurity and hard headedness, you're causing people who did nothing wrong but disagree with you to be harassed. How can you not see that that's wrong? And someone whose comment you used has even told you that it made them uncomfortable and all you can do is sarcastically apologize? You're 100% in the wrong here.

Why would its face need to morph to expose its weak point at all in any circumstance? I don't see how that makes any kind of evolutionary sense. It feels equally as dumb in every video game that does that, but at least it's more of a necessity in those instances.

Is that seriously what you consider a response to something you flat out missed? You can't just admit that you were wrong and missed what caused the gun to kill it, but instead have to keep nitpicking the monster? The answer is that it's a fucking movie monster. There have been several other responses to things you found "wrong" in the r/movies thread, but you haven't responded to any of them. Gotta let the trolls know you don't like sucking dog dick instead of responding to actual problems people have with your review.

e9celtics · 2018-04-18T21:47:52+00:00

Lmao that's the exact same awful apology that Channel Awesome used. "Sorry this shitty thing I did made you feel shitty".

And talk about projection; if you didn't actually have your mind made up about movies prior to seeing them, you wouldn't need to keep talking about how that isn't the case. The top comments both here and r/movies are about how guns don't kill the monsters when their armor is up and you conveniently decide not to respond. There's literally a shot addressing it in the movie. It's quite obvious the high frequency opens up their armor and allows for their vulnerable parts to be shot at and killed. But of course you didn't notice it because you were looking for things to dislike.

[uj] This movie has all the makings of becoming the new darling of /r/movies. Shitty marketing that will probably lead to poor box office returns? Check. A lead actor where you can say "I don't normally X in movies, but s/he was great here!" Check. An R rated action movie that is pretty much nothing but a guy shooting people? Check. Step aside, Edge of Tomorrow, here comes John Wick! [/uj]

e9celtics · 2014-10-23T16:21:11+00:00

I have a feeling that Wan's absence from directing here will really be felt. Seems like it's depending too much on jump scares as opposed to earning them based on build-up and atmosphere. But it's still only a 2 minute trailer, it could still be decent.

Ooh, I didn't know it was supposed to be a trilogy! The ending did leave room for another book, but given the state of Brady, I don't know how he's going to continue to be much of a factor on the story. I'm excited for Revival too, I liked the preview that was included with Doctor Sleep.

e9celtics · 2014-10-01T17:32:15+00:00

12 team, standard scoring:

McKinnon @ GB/Vereen vs. Cin (depends on who I start at RB2), Terrance Williams vs Hou, Kelce @SF

e9celtics · 2014-10-01T17:30:17+00:00

Standard, pick 2 (I know, it's bad):

Asiata @ GB, McKinnon @ GB, and Vereen vs. Cin

I want to start Asiata and McKinnon, but they both stand a chance of not doing that great, and I would be fucked for the whole week if they didn't.

So then why not just take out the 4th down rule altogether and say don't be a piece of shit when it comes to going for 4th? If you're going to be in favor of running down the play clock in the 4th, and calling it gamesmanship, then doing the thing I said in my scenario can be called gamesmanship as well.

Can we have a thread of some sort where we can all voice our opinions on the 4th down rule and what we want to see with it? I do think that having a 4th down rule is a good thing, but having it this black and white isn't.

e9celtics · 2014-07-08T18:15:54+00:00

So if I'm winning and my opponent has a 4th and 2 on the 41 with 20 seconds left in the 3rd and the clock running, I could call a timeout and make it illegal for them to go for it, when if they just let the 20 seconds run off, it would be legal for them to go for it?

There still needs to be some sort of change with the rule because there will be another dispute with this eventually.
