I enjoyed the plinkett reasoning that Titanic was retroactively turned into a romance movie from a disaster thriller because Celine Dion and James Horner wrote up a hit song and the whole project got rearranged from James Cameron's usual filmmaking style to accomodate it.

Our school went to see Titanic when it came out (we saw one movie every year, that year it was Titanic because it was so huge) and all the girls thought it was the most beautiful thing they had ever seen while almost all the boys loving haaaaated it I, a 13-year old boy at the time, thought it was ok but not really my thing I like it more these days, partially because Avatar really re-calibrated what "the worst James Cameron movie" actually means

The Lindsay video is really good and makes some great points, and also doesn't change the fact that I've sat through Titanic twice and find it boring as poo poo.

Yeah nah, I enjoy one thing about Titanic and that's the fella spinning like a propeller. Couldn't stand it then or now. Saw it in the cinema and everything. I recognise and reespect the craft mind but not for me!

I believe someone asked a ways back for non-english youtubers, while I've been largely indifferent towards the majority of Vtubers, Inugami Korone has basically endless, infectious happiness and even some of the stuff that's untranslated and I can't understand I still find entertaining since she's just always having so much fun with everything. someone a bit ago asked her if she had ever played a DOOM game, which led to her looking it up(and commenting on how all the demons on the original doom box art are smiling and happy! which, lmfao, they actually do mostly look super psyched to be there): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAllof4RNEM&hd=1 this led to her playing through DOOM 64 as her first try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlqofsQores&hd=1 and in the last few days she's been streaming DOOM 2016 and it's charming as hell, I love how she prefaces almost every glory kill with HORAYA! or ORA ORA! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKmqh8G4McU&hd=1 and a bonus clip, I absolutely love it, where she was playing Dragon's Lair for the NES, one of the worst NES games ever made, and during it sang a bunch of random stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpsIBaSH_LE&hd=1

Speaking of non-english youtubers, does anyone have any tips for German speaking youtubers? Preferably left wing ones, but if anyone has any other tips for non-political youtubers I'll be happy to check 'em out too. I've seen this already: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y1lZQsyuSQ

WeedlordGoku69 posted:I feel like SR4 is a weird game to use for this because random ultraviolence in it ends up feeling kind of empty and boring, and while you can go around slaughtering pedestrians, the game's really more focused on the story missions and you can very easily beeline from one to the next without hurting anything. Hell, vehicles end up feeling sort of pointless after you get the superpowers in it, because leaping across the map Crackdown-style is both quicker and more fun. i think part of that feeling is its basicaly just takes place in the matrix instead weird hellworld saints row normally takes place it. nothing in the world is real and it basicaly makes all the big booms feel hollow.

I loved how even background characters had their little backstories that unfolded over the course of the movie. The scene where the power goes out and you hear the ship 'groan' is my favourite though.

Titanic has always been something I regard as extremely competent which isn't the same as 'good' but certainly isn't the same as 'bad.' The leads are fine. Billy Zane is a sneering delight. Jack's Extremely Italian friend at the beginning really cracks me up. Nobody can shoot a claustrophobic action scene filled with water like Cameron. It has the annoying Hollywood thing of 'poor people are the ACTUAL happy ones.' The ship sinking is genuinely impressive because few can do spectacle like Cameron. It absolutely got too much crap because it was 'for gurls.' I just personally don't want to watch it without the RiffTrax if I can help it. And I certainly never need to hear Celine Dion try her vocal Barbara Streisand cosplay ever again.

Terrible Opinions posted:Not accusing you of that or that Titanic can't be mediocre, just that it is an undeniable pattern that blockbusters aimed at women have enormous dedicated hate mobs just for existing. I didn't hate it when it came out, but my immediate dislike of it when I was a kid had a lot to do with that (it was aimed at girls ewwwwwww). I probably should give it a rewatch one of these days, haven't seen it since it first came out.

I'm fond of Titanic. The dialogue isn't brilliant to say the least, but there are lots of good characters and excellent moments and if you fancy having a cry, it's there for you. I can't really hate anything Victor Garber is in.

watho posted:my favorite re:view mainstay pairing takes on a movie that was a big part of my childhood I didn’t realize it had brownface which yikes, but other than that I think it really holds up. Even Michael Richards came to do some of the DVD commentary and this was when he was still riding high on Seinfeld and pre racial epithet. The commentary is worth it to hear Al talk about he rapidly went from the toast of Orion to them not returning his calls.

Terrible Opinions posted:Maybe there is some larger issue at play here, but isn't Kingsley of west Indian descent? He is, but he's mixed race and naturally fairly light skinned so a lot of folks still consider it brownface. It's pretty controversial as there's less of a clear answer in his case. But I was talking about UHF where the white director dresses in brownface for the Ghandi 2 parody bit.

Honestly, I feel like the Gandhi 2 scene works in context for the same reason the Always Sunny Lethal Weapon stuff works: the entire point is that it's a godawful idea on every possible level.

ehhhh, i mean the joke is that it’s a stupid idea for a movie, but the fact that ghandi is played by a white guy in brownface who never appears at any other point isn’t really a part of the joke. It doesn’t need to be justified as a woke meta-joke it’s a caveat to an otherwise fantastic movie that’s worth reflecting on. i still absolutely love the movie despite that tho

So I never watched Ralph the movie maker before because I vaguely remember him being an rear end in a top hat in some way but I can't remember why. I watched that video he did on Nostalgia Critics game show and enjoyed it but then I log on to twitter this morning and see this: https://twitter.com/FB_BMB/status/1279343117087518726 https://twitter.com/FB_BMB/status/1279345348222300162
