Yeah, I watched it the other day and I agree. It felt like they had two half-movies sitting around and then they mashed them together and we were still left with a single half-movie without an ending. I mean I comprehend what they were going for, but it was just a piss-poor execution.

Watched Skate Kitchen and started watching Betty and it’s weirding me out that it isn’t a continuation of the movie’s story. I thought it was a spin-off rather than just based on it. Both are great, though.

I thought Death To 2020 was alright but didn’t love it. Enough good lines and performances to make it worthwhile, though. The narration was weird because it would absolutely have suited Brooker’s voice but it didn’t sound natural coming from Fishburne.

Death To wasn’t as good as Wipe, but still enjoyable enough. Having celebrities took away from it except for SLJ during the BLM section. Lack of Shitpeas loses it a point.

pentyne posted:it's in every single youtube video making jokes about Rick saying something like "best I can do is $5, I'm taking all the risk" but when you watch it they lowball the gently caress out of everything because even on the show either its something way more common then the seller thinks, or it's so niche and high end it's a wait years for a good auction type of thing. The best delusional guy was the one who thought that he had a photograph of Lincoln and lost it when it turned out to just be a photograph of some guy.

It's almost entirely scripted so yeah, they clearly hate poor people. I just enjoyed it more because they barely tried to hide the scripting and fake drama. In many wide shots of the store you could see the gaffer tape marks.

Yeah, it felt like he put the effort in to not just be Hugh Grant with a different name at least. I know people who haven’t seen Wipe really liked it so it’s probably the right approach, even if it’s a little jarring for longtime viewers.

I've seen wipes before and I thought this was just as good, though some celebrities were better than others, Lisa Kudrow being the one that worked the least. Kumail Nanjiani as Bark Multiverse was great.

He lives in Brooklyn as part of his Polygon job which has a pretty high cost of living and a bunch of his more recent videos have had jokes and asides about his worries about not being able to save up for a potential retirement or pay for health insurance on his salary, I wouldn't be surprised if at least part of the motivation to split was to get to get to move somewhere else. Really its always been kind of baffling how much of games journalism and the resultant new media personalities in podcasting and YouTube that grew out of it live in expensive places like that, when your job is to play videogames and talk into a camera/microphone you can do that literally anywhere. Spending a few years growing an audience at Polygon and then making a clean break once they've gotten enough eyes on you* seems to be a strategy that works out really well for everyone involved and I'm pretty excited to see who the next person to break through there is. I avoided Brian David Gilbert's videos for a long time because his thumbnails are repellant but his actual videos were really fun and creative and they seem to do a pretty good job of cycling people out if they fail to take hold; it's fun going through their channel during the Griffin McElroy era and seeing how many boring and unfunny people got paired up with them for a video or two and then vanished off the face of the earth as the site shifted to more video content. *or get kicked off, since even though Nick Robinson was unpersoned for asking women to send him nudes his videos still make ridiculous numbers like the one on the McDonalds Nintendo DS training game breaking 3.6 million views in less than a month and he has 2/3rds the number of subscribers as Polygon's actual channel.

Media companies of all stripes seem to live under the delusion that their workers must live in major market cities like NYC, LA, or San Francisco. It's creating a huge barrier to entry for people from less advantageous backgrounds getting into the industry, and comes up every time one of these shops tries to unionize.
