Generally speaking, you have to be really funny in the first place to pull off anti-humor (of any sort) well. When the RLM guys do the "we're really bad actors" shtick, it's kinda funny because they're pretty good actors otherwise. When Phelous does "I'm SUCH a bad actor" or "see how unfunny this joke is"... Well, you get my point.

Doug hit the nail on the head with the film presenting us this detestable character and trying to make him sympathetic by shoving in a miserable backstory, which only succeeds in making one hate the movie more.

Also I don't think he touched on the fact that the movie is incredibly short. It's 68 minutes making it one of the shortest major motion pictures I think I've ever seen.

Wouldn't this be happening to essentially everyone with any kind of game-related show? Apparently the retarded system is just blanket-flagging everything with claims the respective companies didn't make, ignoring Fair Use laws, etc.

I gotta say, I hated the running gag with the Happy Madison fans, mostly because of how annoying they were, but also because it's a really wretched generalization. Even Sandler fans are likely to find the Who's On First routine funny.

They're even flagging interviews he made with actual developers and publishers - which he would *obviously* have permission to display. Apparently the vast majority of LPers are getting knocked down left and right as well. It's particularly obnoxious since it appears these were takedowns done without the permission of the actual rights holders.

I think his reviews are under fair use and the interviews Angry Joe set up and recorded himself would rightfully belong to him. He doesn't do Let's Plays (that often). Anyway, I haven't watched Oancitizen for quite some time and goddamn that Yeelen review. Goddamnit, that was less an internet movie review and more of a video thesis. Hugely impressed all around. toanoradian fucked around with this message at 15:58 on Dec 13, 2013 |

Eh, Joe does put a decent ammount of effort into his work. He's a videogame reviewer, mostly. It's not like all he's doing is talking over videogame footage like the lazier LPers. It's not like he's that worthless Pewdiepie (this whole fiasco would be worthwhile if it killed HIS "career")

I have far deeper objections than that, but this probably isn't the thread for it (I'll cede that he was acting like a baby-man; seems like maybe his schtick tbh). It's a largely ideological divide, anyways, that's been around since at least debates over music sampling or pop art or [examples from millenia earlier]. I will say, though, that people enjoy seeing other people talk about the media and culture they consume. It's not such a simple thing to do well, whether you're trying to be Roger Ebert or Ryan Davis or Red Letter Media, and it's not a form of theft. On a less heated-derail-y kind of note, I'm also really enjoying Oancitizen's output since I started watching recently. Anukis fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Dec 13, 2013 |

It's important to remember that fair use is a defense to an infringement claim, not something that stops claims from happening in the first place. Which means that with YouTube using an overly aggressive system like this, it's going to flag everything (on behalf of copyright holders, even though they didn't ask for it, I suppose) and then require the video owners to dispute the claims based on fair use (which Joe's reviews fall under even more clearly than many other internet reviewers' material) or other grounds. Incidental to all this, I'd be fascinated to see a copyright case go to court within this little industry, though I wouldn't wish that on any of my friends who do this themselves. That would only happen after a copyright owner claimed a violation, the reviewer/critic filed a counterclaim, Blip/Youtube/whoever sided with the reviewer, and then the copyright owner decided to press on by suing the site and/or the individual (which explains why nothing has gotten that far yet - it's hardly worth the trouble). No single case would seriously shake up what's going on now - copyright claims and fair use defenses are all about the specifics of each case - but it might provide some guidelines specific to this kind of content that don't exist yet.

Mogambo posted:It's cool to deflect the argument that the video game man is giant baby about profiting from other peoples work because I mispelled a word. You are missing the point. Many of the Lets Players and reviewers have the explicit ok from the game companies to do exactly what they are doing. What they are currently being hit with are a combination of music rights owners claiming they own the rights to the music being played within the game, as well as various trolls that are false flagging accounts. Essentially, the music rights owners think they should get 100% of the ad revenue for a video because there happens to be a song they own playing during a portion of it. (for example, a radio station within GTA playing in the background) There are numerous game companies coming out of the woodwork to help get this fixed. They understand that Lets players are free advertising and shutting them down would only hurt them. Not to mention it would be a PR nightmare. Here is a link to a few official company twitters that are looking into the matter. http://i.imgur.com/YWlP1VU.jpg?1

Hey man I made fun of the LPers crying about Nintendo not wanting them to make money off their poo poo and all, but even I think that maybe it's not Youtube's place to police FOR the people. Like, the issue is YT is doing this without any flagging from the companies involved, and that means things like, say, interviews are being flagged. It's actually super stupid.

Lupa reviews Witchcraft 11, and so soon after the last one! If I didn't know any better I'd say the Witchcraft movies are pretty much just spinning their wheels at this point and Lupa's trying to get the retrospective over with. At least the writers of this one remembered that the series *gasp* has a main character whom they brought back to life not two movies ago and then completely forgot about in the next movie. Like, yeah he's played by a different actor but that's par for the course now.

Don't worry, 13 fixes everything! (okay it doesn't) Truthfully I'm trying to complete the series before Christmas to finish out the year, so I'm being a bit speedier than normal. Doing a review from start to finish in 3 days isn't recommended, btw.

Xander77 posted:Spoony seems to think that putting out a 90 minute video on a player that resets whenever you leave it paused for a minute or so is an excellent idea. It's also a 90 minute "Spoony Tries" video, I don't know how people could get through 90 minutes of that. Personally, I'd say break them up into 20-30 minute segments, but Spoony IMO has never really put any effort into his Vlogs. Anyway, second episode of Random Button is out: http://thecinemasnob.com/2013/12/09/the-random-button-sex-and-lucia.aspx It seems like Brad is doing a rotating cast, which I like in his midnight reviews. I also am really fond of his segment "Wait, that's on Blu-Ray?".

People complained and he posted a "They're my videos and I can do whatever I want with them so gently caress off." kind of response. You know, his usual bile. The dude would do Ayn Rand proud. I'm really surprised Angry Joe is friends with him since he seems to represent everything Joe hates about the whole "youtube celebrity" thing (low effort vlogs in a grungy room). That was when around I un-followed him on twitter since his release schedule (only reason why I followed him in the first place) is non-existent and seems content on being a jackass on twitter while retweeting the "yeah, you tell him!" cheer-leading sycophants send him. I think his latest rant on the "The thing you like is actually poo poo, fact." was on people getting really excited about the recent Godzilla trailer.
