it doesn't help that reviews mostly over or reproduced garbage because that's what gets clicks

Yeah i enjoy his vids too theyre sometimes just very grating

so if he ran his script through chatgpt jdance would like it better

Youre so gay

posting The Critical Drinker is a black mark on you my friend

A black, black mark

'People who see the past as an enemy to be defeated rather than a rich tapestry of ideas and experiences to learn from.'

as a nerd/gay that's what stuck with me throughout and is a guilty pleasure of mine enjoying watching rewrites and shameless destruction of former ip's. i dont really care about recasts or diversity quotas as long as the writing and source material is strong

dude i just took mushroom for the first time can you give me some advice or some shit kinda nervous ngl

i dont watch those videos i already know those movies are shit at least to me. i like his long-form analysis of writing and direction in big movies. again he doesn't do indie or small films because fewer clicks

yeah i'm only half serious, everyone is allowed to enjoy whatever youtube creators they want, i'm just giving you a hard time

i used to like his videos actually and just got slowly turned off over time so it's a bitter, personal thing for me

maybe it's more the movies he usually reviews being absolute shit lmao

i just want him to never say the word woke again, that's all

it's so repetitive and unejoyable and uninsipired to listen to, it doesn't spark thought, it doesn't do anything, it's just noise

he does overdo it on the destruction traditional gender roles and strawmans progressive points a little bit at points. but the videos ive watched really only use that as a meme or point to attack modern writer's need to completely deconstruct characters

and as someone who fancies himself at least partially an artist i kinda have a grudge against people who make a full time living basically just doing easy slam dunk takedowns of unpopular movies

it's 1000x harder to create something than it is to critique it, and i'd just like to hear that acknowledged at some point during his roasting, hey these people tried something and it didn't work, instead he talks about them like works

like youtube video essay movie takedowns (an entire sub genre that "The Last Jedi" created) are just kinda soulless in some way

ah well keep watching you'll see what I mean

like ohhh please tell me for 2 hours how The Last Jedi was a bad movie you fucking auteur, you genius, you worthy person to be giving advice, please make yourself sound smart as you rip apart this movie for 2 hours, it's masturbatory

and this post isn't directed at drinker just the entire sub genre

the flip side of movie youtube is we get channels like this that are fucking amazing and whose videos leave you speechless and thinking about yourself and the world for several minutes

i think you're projecting a sense of ego into people's work that isn't always there. sure there are people who will just go with peoplelike=good peoplehate=bad. also big youtube publishers are gonna create what generates clicks
