The only really bad parts of Last Jedi were the some of the jokes and weird word choices/idioms. Like the 'Your mother' joke and Yoda saying the Jedi books were not 'page-turners'. I don't think we've ever even seen paper in star wars, which I think is why that one stuck out to me.

Bennet may be a socially awkward, pretentious and sexually perverted comedy figure who recently lost a lot of weight, but he's no where near the level of objectively awful as Gervais.

Libluini posted:I don't know who Gervais is, but I found his post too funny to not comment. It was basically cosmically comical  It really was just to compare to Gervais, though Gervais losing weight turned him into more of an egomaniac, as far a I know Bennet is just in better shape. Arcsquad12 posted:I don't get how Bennett is The Sage pretentious To be fair though, it's hard not to sound pretentious when you're doing an in-depth review of a hentai from the 80s. EDIT: quote:Also he has definitely grown as a critic. Of those three I only think his fireflies review is pretty good, because he was starting to branch out from doing yuk yuk jokes at the expense of old titles to actually doing analysis and further research. Oh yeah no doubt, and the whole 'The Sage' thing is just a relic of that early period, which was him dunking on 0 budget porn.

Adlai Stevenson posted:Jack? The only time I can remember him talking about economics he stated that he thinks that capitalism is fine but only if it's heavily and tightly regulated Granted I don't have a timestamp/video because it was on a pre-rec stream, but I remember him mentioning it along with the time he said the fountainhead is his favourite film, which is a whole other tin of beans. That is all hearsay though, considering I don't know which vid it is. The high pitched screaming I have endless evidence of. (Though that might be because he has young children and has just spent years making babies laugh like that and now is stuck)

And I'm pretty sure those films aren't really masterclasses in storytelling so hmmmm If you watch the pre-rec stream, ask him about it because I also found it very weird. It wasn't like a joke either, he was just like 'yeah my fave film is prob the fountainhead, I really identify with the main char etc' To quote the Plinkett reviews, it's like your friend casually mentioning they've been reading Mein Kampf quote:As for the screaming, yeah, to me it's like Rich's laugh. Either you get used to it or you go insane At least Rich is just reacting to something, Jacks' improv is 99% shouting in a weird intentionally shrill way. Rich can't even speak english but at least he doesn't just scream when he's riffing.

I just want to say the most egregious part of that was Yoda using the term 'Page turner'. Like he says 'Page turners, they were not' about the Jedi books. I really don't know why but that was like hear yoda say like 'gently caress the police' or something. I just can't get over why that term messes with me so much. (I also liked TLJ but also feel the Jedi books are weird. Why weren't they Jedi Holocrons? Holocrons are even like little Ai holograms right? You could have Luke's Holocron be in the next film teaching Rey, and have that whole emotional part where she tries to ask it something personal or beyond its AI and it's like a harsh reminder he's dead and she is basically on her own. Okay now I'm writing fanfic I'll stop) cosmically_cosmic fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Apr 29, 2018 |

Arcsquad12 posted:The texts are primordial, holocrons are old but they're still an identifiable piece of texhnology used even beyond the Jedi. I guess that is true, but if they're actual like, relics from a pre-space era won't they be completely unreadable? They'd be in like space double ancient mega latin. Unless they got translated into galactic basic? OKAY WAIT NOW I get why the page turners line gets me so bad. IF the Jedi books are ancient relics, is Yoda just by chance a fan of unrelated trashy fiction from the ancient pre-space era? And that's why he knows the term 'page turner' in a world where there are only about five books and they're ancient antiques?' Like what other books are there that you prefer Yoda? 'As good as the Thrawn trilogy, it was not!'

Neddy Seagoon posted:Yoda's over 900 years old. He's had time to experience all sorts of things. That's a VERY good point, but then why doesn't Luke turn to him and say 'What the gently caress are you talking about?' Or maybe because they've been hanging out on that island a lot Luke is used to it, like it's kind of like in Guardians of the galaxy where the earth guy keeps making modern references that none of the aliens understand, but in reverse where this weird alien is making pop culture references that a human doesn't get. Just picture Luke storming off into his little hut shouting at ghost Yoda 'I don't know what Cheers is!'

I can't tell if you're like joking along with me or like seriously getting annoyed at this, but Luke's only experience with books is ancient holy texts, would you seriously expect a medieval peasant who has only ever read the bible to know what page turners are as a concept? And also I said I liked the movie so everyone getting frothed up about this can chill out. I'm only making a joke about Star Wars.

Bakeneko posted:Not to defend Jon or anything because I know he has some genuinely awful opinions, but arresting someone for making a dumb video on Youtube is ridiculous.

EDITED FOR BITCHINESS: I find that a very misleading and bad-faith argument, considering how spurious the connection is between a recording of someone doing something, and an artificial performance. Are you going to make the same argument that actors who play murderers are going to get arrested for it?

It seems like a contradiction but considering the guy was slapped with an 800 pound fine for being 'grossly offensive' I can't say I see it as a bad omen that the anti-nazi laws are going out of control or anything.

sexpig by night posted:same. Seems like a decent enough guy and show but I'm just incredibly over the whole 'critiquing an adaptation by just saying how different it is'. Obviously there are cases where that should be part of it but I'm just kinda bored with ones that are focused on it. From what I've watched of his he doesn't seem too much of a purist, mostly he just seems to explain/list differences. Though I may have just seen a few better videos. The big problem with 'The Dom' for me is that he puts 'The' in front of his monicker and the fact he talks in annoying rear end in a top hat youtuber voice. And frankly terrible skits. But thats just par for ex CA people.

Lightning Knight posted:Yep. I fall into the “the new trilogy is kind of lame, hollow nostalgia bait and rates as mediocre” camp but I’ll at least defend some parts of TLJ and ideas in TFA as cool and worthwhile even if I don’t think the films work in sum total. They aren’t the Star Wars movies I wanted and I don’t think they’re what the franchise deserves but they aren’t horrible either. In a movie where a character is an 8 foot nonverbal alien dog, what really pisses people off is that this woman dyed her hair pink. UNREALISTIC. Or she's just one of those human-ish aliens and it's natural.

sexpig by night posted:yea I fully agree there's nothing inherently bad about seeing the new SW and going 'eh, not my thing I'll stick to the originals' but I absolutely love loving with the "THIS ISN'T REALISTIC" or "THE PLOT IS TOO SIMPLE/CONVENIENT" crowd by just pointing at the original theory. Yeah, there are real problems with the new films (like bad comedy beats) but of all the things to complain about its a char's hair colour? I legit think it was just because of the association of 'woman with uncommon hair colour = SJW' stereotype. Like the Jordan Peterson types see a woman with pink hair giving orders to a man and they feel like they're the victim of a misandrist conspiracy to undermine their childhoods.

Lightning Knight posted:I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with using an avatar if you’re not comfortable being on camera. I think it becomes tedious if it’s used for gimmickry, i.e. MovieBob’s video game characters. This is very true, and not to hate on the puppet but it did always seem to be like a lot of work for very little reward, a talking head can be fairly boring even when it's a human with actual expressions and gestures, but the puppet was just a box that flapped open and shut. Not that say, a still drawing would be better, but that is at least a time/effort saver in a way, but the puppet seemed just as much work if not more than just doing it live action. The content of the videos was of course still good, but the box puppet did always seem like a strange choice. A bit like in Team America, where they also eventually decided puppets were a pain to work with after they finished.

In Watch Dogs 1 you're a psychotic white dude who keeps putting his family in danger so that he can keep murdering people based on computer statistics that predict they're going to do a crime, but he's also trying to stop the bad guys who are doing the same thing, and then at the end he becomes essentially a fascist surveillance state personified superhero. Watch Dogs 2 has you play a black guy who's been profiled out of society by an the algorithm of the first game, joining a group of idealistic hacktivists who (mostly) nonviolently try to take down the crypto fascist Sillicon Valley CEO guy who runs the profiling system. It's not perfect, but basically everything about the second game is like a direct refutation of the first. Even the hacking system gets expanded, instead of 'Press q to hack' every hackable device (and there are more) has like 4 different things you can do to it, as well as more global abilities you can use. Hell you can even complete most missions without stepping foot inside the enemy area if you use the drone/RC car and get creative. So not only is the actual gameplay a lot better, the story framework around it is now actually fun and not completely stupid.

If you made like a statistical analysis of WW2 movies TV shows and Games I'm sure Omaha beach takes up like 50% of the entire thing. Really if you went by big budget media 90% of the war was fought by americans in france, with Gremany surrendering in fear of the fierce American war machine just after they get into Germany. 5% is dying brits in Market Garden, 3% is evil Russians killing each other for retreating in Stalingrad, against the poor Germans who only want to escape the evil Russian encriclement, and the last 2% is split between the Pacific and the North Africa. That's my hot take. cosmically_cosmic fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Jun 4, 2018 |

But you really have to search out media to get stuff like that, esp if you want it in English. I remember reading a comic book that was based on the eastern front, specifically about the night witches which was pretty good. Or you can go for translated stuff like a Russian film series I saw called 'Liberation' which had hilariously bad English subtitles like  but other than that you're stuck with poo poo like Enemy at the Gates or like films about 'the good Nazi's' when it comes to the eastern front. cosmically_cosmic fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Jun 4, 2018 |
