  2. + His videos would be better if he included a list of sources to back up his claims. And also, it is interesting to see how he reveals his worldview on several videos and interviews. His channel is literally waging a one-man crusade against Disney- the vast majority of his current videos are about them and so is his viewership. His thesis on Disney is something along the lines that Disney is a corrupt mature corporation filled with institutional/bureaucratic rot, which has lead to extreme cost over-runs, BS jobs, re-shoots, and poorly directed films that underperformed in the box office. In one of the videos I watched he (as a Scottish Person) seems to have missed the fact that these corporations recruit from a very small & narrow segment of American society (top students at top colleges, the well-connected etc) meaning they have imported a certain managerial class of people from Gen X and Millennials that have been indoctrinated in the leftist ideologies. Among these new entrants are many people of other skin colors, including non-white women that have been climbing the corporate ladder- so the diverseness of the 'product' reflects the diverseness of the people making it. But while they are 'diverse' in skin color, they are all 'educated' in the same institutions and are rather homogenous in the mind. Meanwhile, the boomers that were responsible for great work are leaving the workforce. + A clearer, researched explanation on why the management quality in Disney degraded so much..

    TBH I don't have any there either. I think that real love is very hard to put on-screen because to me it takes at least 10+ years and a lot of situations that test if the relationship can work. A movie is too short to really show that. Maybe a TV series could do that but I haven't seen one yet. Real love is unglamorous and underappreciated for the most part, and too boring to show on TV. In movies they generally put what I consider to be an exciting short-term relationship/desire for the other person.
  4. His 'After Hours' side channel reveals how big mocking and tearing apart badly made films are on youtube and other social media platforms. He and Nerdrotic have over 3.5 M subs combined. The other heavy hitters have considerably less, my guess is the combined subs are at least around 7 Million for this 'industry' of mocking hollywood. He has even done interviews with major conservative influencers so he seems to be the king in this space. On a more critical note outside of making a good living off of this activity it is otherwise pure torture to have to watch all these terrible movies and shows, and then spend a lot of time making videos & reviewing them. So the nerd panels are extremely negative in its temperament- funny in small doses but not fun to watch too much of it. I think his side channel After hours is much more enjoyable than his main channel, and more relaxed/genuine. Overall this whole sub-industry seems to be nostalgic for films from the 1980s-2000s.

  9. Re-watched parts of "Dredd" (2012). It's one of the best comic book movies ever (good comic book accuracy and acting), and a real shame that no sequel was ever made. It's probably because it was rated R and failed at the box office. Olivia is also really beautiful in it and Karl Urban was awesome. It would have great to see a bigger budget sequel starring both of them while they were younger. The cyberpunk 2077 game clearly took a lot of inspiration from this film, and the apartment complex that V lives in is the same thing as the movie.
  10. ^ they don't need to wheel out him out to play gandalf lol

  16. I've seen most of these films but I only remember the Nolan ones clearly. I didn't like any of them. If Rachel Dawes was re-written and the actress re-casted it may have worked as her being a supportive interest of a troubled man. Jennefer Connelly played this in 'A Beautiful Mind' much, much better. But I can tell you the worst one: Anne Hathway was an awful 'Catman' and a rather despicable character. The romance was the worst, and should have been removed from the film with the actress re-cast.

  18. That's ok it gives some context as to what you're talking about. No, I'm never seen that. I saw mainly his later films.. I observed that Henry Cavill & Chris Hemsworth have a huge man-crush fanbase on the internet- I think it's mainly because straight men want to look like them/be them.
