What's his endgame?
>>217101233Rob is based
>>217101233Crashing this Kubrickian plane with no survivors.
>>217101233To solve the mystery of the 7 diamonds
>>217101233His videos on The Thing were some of the best I've seen on any film. He caught every detail and clue Carpenter left behind, and pretty much conclusively proved Childs was infected at the end.
>>217101233To dab on post 2010 flicks
>>217101874He's the embodiment of "the generation I grew up in just happened to make the best things"
Do people actually go to his shitty website to buy video reviews?
>>217101233Making the some of the most ridiculous leaps in """analysis""" that are clearly bullshit but also making comfy videos
>>217102007Nerdrotic and Critical Drinker regularly get $500 donations from people despite offering no meaningful analysis. They understand movies suck now, but only have a vague idea why, if they actually discovered the real reasons why and tried to discuss it, they'd be banned from YouTube.
>>217102089What's his most schizo take?
>>217101233Being the most based brit alive and ending the left/right political dichotomy
He's the most based his country's laws allow him to be I guess and has a way of sounding reasonable to everyday person. His background sounds somewhat interesting because apparently he made a career before working with mentally ill people and stuff.
>>217101619imagine disliking a perfect film
>>217101233He looks like Pedro Pascal
>>217102619First though is on the opening scene in the exorcist where a fly flies into frame for a second and he goes on a tangent about how it's the demon coming into the world
>>217101233Pedro Pascal?
He ruined film analysis and YT film reviewers for me because I discovered him early on. Nothing came close to him so I never fell for Stuckman or RML crap.
>>217101233Being irrelevant
>>217103968Blackpilled got up to 200k subs in youtube early on btw and it just maxed out and never grew up after that. Many such cases. Well now he has fun streaming for 500 people on alt platforms. Even if I'm one of those people, that's just pretty sad.
>>217104110Pretty sure he's the top channel on oddysee
>>217102619Obviously there's the Kubrick diamond thing but for me it's his take that the Shining is really about Jack making Danny go down on him.
>>217104326Which means streaming for 500 people live. Of course thousands of people watch the replays and he is allowed on X nowadays too. He gets 0,1% of the visibility he would get on the so-called "free market of ideas".
>>217104421Believe it or not that's actually one of the more plausible things he posits.
Hope Not Hate exposed him as a white nationalist. Stop promoting him.
>>2171030962049 is a disgrace to the original blade runner movie and phillip k. dick’s do androids dream of electric sheep novel.
>>217104832Context?
>>217104812What's wrong with white nationalism?
>>217104943Oops meant to reply to >>217104812
>>217104958He's a bigot, anti-immigrant and anti-feminism. They doxed his ass in the newspaper and he had to put all his bigotry behind a pay wall.
>>217101233Naming the Jew
>>217105058How is this news? I always thought it was obvious what his views were
>>217103968This guy ruined movies for me lmao
>>217105058So what did he do wrong?
He’s possibly the only good film analyst/reviewer, ever. I’ve been watching his stuff for like, a decade. Never paid for any of his videos, but I am curious about them
>>217105087So why are you promoting him? Go back to your containment board.
>>217105200Nigger.
>>217104832The original blade runner movie is a disgrace to phillip k. dick’s do androids dream of electric sheep novel.
>>217105221because it was actually good
>>217101233Being the most mediocre film critic, rivaled only by Mark Kermode.
>>217105266He's basically Mark Kermode but right wing and slightly schizo. He has the accent and everything.
>>217105236if your a sodabrain it is
>>217105058Any links to the article?
Dude Kubrick is le deep and meant every interpretation i can pull out my ass.
>>217105313>sodabrainYou need to go back you dysgenic freak >muh bimmy i gossip about all day
>>217105058they just label you as anything they want if you try to approach subjects with nuance or thought.
I feel like a lot of the time he draws a conclusion first then looks for clues to justify it. Which people did for all sorts of shit in The Shining like the moon landing. But his videos are interesting.
>>217105361Sure they do buddy, sure they do.
Tabloids told me this guy sucked a million dicks, can you believe that? >>217105447
>>217105454This is why we need digital ID, you gotta be 18 to post here kid.
>>217101233Making enough youtube bucks to not have to wotk ever again?
>>217105447i'm glad you agree
There’s some things I think he looks far too deep into like >Jack reading a Playgirl magazine and that’s evidence of Jack molesting DannySomething like that wouldn’t have been able to have been caught until decades later with a dvd or blu ray and even then you’d have to really study every detail. It could have been an inside joke on set(haha Jack is reading a magazine with naked men in the lounge)
I kind of miss Rob's more schizo videos. There was a point where he had a lot more edgy ideas (even if he wasn't really making claims either way, just raising the topics) like 9/11 stuff, "Kubrick faked the moon landings" type stuff, his Clockwork Orange analysis had stuff about MK UltraBut he delisted a lot of those videos and articles and replaced them with versions that seem like they're meant to be safer. I think he made a video explicitly denying that The Shining had any moon landing themes, despite a previous video or article about Danny's Apollo rocket sweater.
Tabloid update: this guy also took ten million dicks in his ass >>217105477
>>217105549no one should be taking that many dicks in their ass
>>217105353the novel isnt great or anything but to flip the androids to be like humans and imply tabula rasa, its a complete hack move, soulless.
>>217104812He's openely disavowed white supremacy and racism on his channel. Try again.
>>217105540>Shining Moon LandingI’ve been watching him since 2012 and he never endorsed those theories. I do faintly recall that he had more AOC videos
>>217105565I'm glad we can trust tabloids to keep us informed
>>217102619Woodrow Wilson young cabinet in the 1920s photograph.
>>217105574I’ve never read it but adaptations tend to do that, they adapt a novel for the big screen into something that can work. Are you also upset that Deckard’s a cop?
>>217105618He had free articles too. Although something has been sus about Rob's channel for a while, at least since 2020 maybe 2019/2018, because he's never mentioned the Shining tennis ball changing color which is exactly the kind of thing he should mention.
>>217105540Rob is never more schizo than the present day. He used to drop sensible analysis.
>>217105655There was a point, maybe around that time when he was convinced that YT or the algorithm was actively trying to keep him from being recommended to anyone and he had a whole video explaining why. I wasn’t gonna sit through all that shit so I can’t say but that’s probably what influenced the change
>>217105713It is interesting that he actually seemed to bother the system.
He was (relatively speaking) big some 10 years ago, when conspiracy theories were really huge on the Internet/YouTube. Personally, I wasn't a big fan of that kind of content ("forget about the actual plot, actually ___ movie isn't about xxx, but in fact about ////") but now he mostly focuses on more low-key stuff where he simply demonstrates his amazing ability to spot interesting details.
>>217105616Your kind never own it, it's always "Labour are the REAL racists""
I'm fairly convinced he did actually point this out at one point, but I'm not going to buy a dozen videos and articles to try to find it, esp. when he's probably been delisting stuff anyway. There's the octagonal carpet looking like the Apollo rocket launchpad, obviously Danny's sweater, and he gets up and walks to Room 237 (the moon is roughly 236,000 to 238,000 miles from the Earth depending on the date). There's just no way Rob didn't at least mention part of this at some point, and its slightly unsettling that there's now no real evidence he ever did EXCEPT his video where he denies that there's any Shining/Moon Landing connection (which can be dismissed off hand because of Danny's sweater). And around the same time he released the video denying a Moon Landing connection in the Shining, the tennis ball turned pink in most copies.
He's no Oliver Harper or CinemaTyler.
>>217101233i don't remember why i'm subbed to him, i think the only video of his i've even watched was when he talked about how the immigrant rape gang phenomenon in england was a real thing
>>217105945>(the moon is roughly 236,000 to 238,000 miles from the Earth depending on the date). People who believe this kind of nonsense need to be hospitalized.
>>217105948Oliver is just about editing movie clips to go with his wiki summary of a movie
>>217105286>>217105266This.
>>217106072He's a great compiler. I respect a compiler far more than someone who does "analysis" as the latter almost always ends up being flimsy claptrap.
>>217105151>He’s possibly the only good film analyst/reviewer, ever.This. I don't watch him like I used to, but his stuff is generally pretty good. Better than shit like Critical Drinker.
>>217105975Oh yea. Crazy schizophrenic stuff like elliptical orbitshttps://spaceplace.nasa.gov/moon-distance/en/
>>217101233He has OK taste, but he isn't sophisticated enough to add anything insightful to the conversation.Additionally, these critics mostly talk about movies that are safe to like or dislike within their sphere. There is a real inauthenticity. Only movie youtube guy I really like is Rick Worley, and that is less because of his taste, and more because of his general approach to film/art discussion. His videos actually make me think to some extent, and have enriched the ways I approach movies, even if I don't agree with him 100%.
>>217104421Nah, that theory is a certainty
>>217106245>check out this guy's channel>first video is defending the Star Wars prequelsBased irony poisoned contrarian brained fa/tv/irgin
>>217101233>80s blockbusters are the most profound movies ever made
>>217106236So if the moon averages to something like 237,000 miles from Earth, Danny has the Apollo rocket sweater, and the octagon carpet pattern kinda looks like the Apollo launch pad, what was Kubrick trying to say?
>>217106236If you take those two numbers and subtract them you get 26,465! Then divide that by (Room) 237... what do you get?! 111.6666 repeating! 111 obviously refers to Jack, Wendy and Danny! And the 666 repeating... well! You know what that means!
>>217106315Why try to dodge the Apollo rocket subtext?
>>217105973I haven't watched that video because I don't want to hear him say "both sides are wrong on this".
>>217106331Because, the implications...
>>217105975How far away is the moon?
>>217106375In Stanley Kubricks?
Anyone play his game?https://store.steampowered.com/app/2758570/To_The_Death/
>>217101233He has a smugness and self-importance that is off-putting, I think he overestimates his own intelligence as all midwits do. That being said there are scarcely any video essayers left who surpass him for insight or entertainment value
>>217106245>these critics mostly talk about movies that are safe to like or dislike within their sphere. There is a real inauthenticity.He has talked about this before. Honestly I forgot the reason why he chooses certain movies and not arthouse shit but IIRC he said the subtext is more obvious in certain movies and some can be open to interpretation. Regardless, I don't think he's inauthentic at all because there hundreds of film analysists that jump like flies on shit at any latest A24 release and Rob doesn't.
>>217106349What implications?
>>217101619He really hates BR2049 huh?
>>217105746It could be true. There's loads of these types who get hundreds of thousands of views and all they do is either give a summary of the plot or a political analysis(which will always be 99% of the time a leftist analysis)
>>217106485Because it's the one thing we didn't want to happen.
>>217106510Rob isn't exactly a "right winger", and honestly I think there's a good amount of "right wing" content that also gets algo promoted.I think it might be the NLP stuff.
>>217106556https://youtu.be/OROlF8zB9z0?si=0q11BbZ7ISTwJwbv&t=43
>>217102104So does this guy say things that would get him kicked off YouTube?Does he give us the straight dope?
>>217106632>By Aldrin's account, he went to the Beverly Hills hotel on that date under the pretext of an interview on space for a Japanese children's television show.>assault charges against the former astronaut were dropped".[3] Police either did not file or dropped charges based on Aldrin's lack of a prior criminal record, witness accounts of Sibrel's having drawn Aldrin to the hotel under false pretenses, Sibrel's aggressiveness before the punch, and his having declined to seek medical attention and sustaining "no visible injury"Based Aldrin.
>>217106691>So does this guy say things that would get him kicked off YouTube?No, the thing is that popular youtubers follow an unwritten set of guidelines that keep them relevant in the algorithm. You might be familiar with the>Open mouth in thumbnail>10 min+ runtime>daily uploads>Video essayists with 5+ hour videosthat get millions of views and subs. People who do their own thing develop a niche but aren't usually popular.
Anyone else remember him casually saying nigga on his top 100 albums of all time vid
>>217106447It isn't that I think he is lying, it is that I think he is so selective of what he covers that it prevents him from saying anything interesting. That is the charitable interpretation. Worst case: this is actually the best analysis he can come up with.
>>217106505I think it's his most hated film.
>>217107562 He talks about new movies that pique his interest like Hereditary. which, despite how much /tv/ loves to hate it is full of subtext and the kind of shit he would go after. Honestly, nowadays any jeet can ask Chatgpt to do a full in depth critical analysis of anything
>>217107595NTA, but I understand Rob on this. It's honestly pretty painfully soulless compared to the original.
>>217107608Ask it to analyze any obscure movie and you'll quickly find just how much it talks out of its ass, I've asked for simple plot summaries of films without wikipedias and it blatantly makes shit up
>>217101233He is a bit autistic but I do appreciate some of his videos.
>>217107666My favorite "autistic" thing he did was when I started watching some top 10 or 25 video of his or whatever and he just immediately started talking about the things without a 5 minute intro. Maybe that's more common these days but it caught me off guard in a good way.
>>217105313>your>sodabrain an ESL redditranny
>>217101233He's Scouse. It's hard to understand what a Scouse is like if you're not British.>>217101687It's just his signature. Kubrick. It's 7 letters. It starts and ends with a K. If you take the second K and mirror it, the center of the two K's make a diamond shape.
>>217101920Actually if you watch his favorite albums list it's very surprising. He likes Gravediggaz, Marilyn Manson, Massive Attack, Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, Limp Bizkit. I thought it was all gonna be Prog Rock bullshit. I also don't think anyone can disagree that cinema has been shit for the past decade or so.
>>217102007I actually bought some and they were good
>>217105200Kys you fucking braindead idiot
>>217102007I've thought about it because I enjoy how he talks and his theories actually have good evidence behind them
>>217103942the only person with more schizo takes was polarization nation media and his mcfly code. started off good but then he'd be making connections out of nowhere.
>>217105058rob ager? based
his more recent stuff doesnt hit the same way, but early stuff and premium stuff never uploaded to youtube is pretty good. his stuff on the thing, total recall, starship troopers... he just dives into movies you love and has interesting things to say you havent heard a million times (some of it is said a million times now, though, because he said it first)
>>217101233rob can you do a video on each scene in eyes wide shut being a degree in masonry thanks
>>217108349>Gravediggaz, Marilyn Manson, Massive Attack, Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, Limp Bizkitoh yeah, some of these bands had their prime in the 50s and 10s right? or... hmmm.. maybe .. idk
He has a hard line opinion on AI never amounting to anything because it won't be able to create art, which is a bit of an naively optimistic goal post to set. What if AI just doesn't give a shit about succeeding at that?
>>217105095rightly so. cant believe i used to like american beauty for example.
>>217105496>Something like that wouldn’t have been able to have been caught until decades later with a dvd or blu ray and even then you’d have to really study every detail. It could have been an inside joke on set(haha Jack is reading a magazine with naked men in the lounge)you know back in 1980s people went to the same movie more than once?? and they watched it on the big screen and not on a crappy 22 incher vhs tape....
>>217105945room 237 went into it iirc
>>217105095and that's a good thing
I love him but can't stand him shilling his own crappy game or his old painted house or old zombie movie or whatever it was... his talent lies in analyzing other peoples creations and not at crafting his owns
>>21710639812 bucks for that crap?! Fuck, you can get the Master Chief Collection for 10 right now
>>217101233I liked him better before he started showing his fat fucking face all the time

>>217110795
He was become meta : in the background of his videos he is always leaving these cryptic objects just like Kubrick.
>>217110795>>217110810post the goddamn pic already
>>217101233>yes danny was raped>yes helena was taken>moon landing faked? fuck no
>>217109125What about Bazed Lit Analyzer? He does all his reviews in one take and this one rambled on about Satanic blood sacrifices happening in early spring
>>217109904>you know back in 1980s people went to the same movie more than once??I recently did see it on the big screen and I can guarantee you that wouldn’t change anything. Why would anyone viewing even pay attention to what magazine he’s reading that’s barely visible? Most of the pics online are zoomed in but how far Jack is from the camera, it’s not eligible what he is reading. Rob obviously pauses a film and studies the frames but… you can’t do that in a theater
>>217104812
>>217110893I don't think Kubrick really cared how many people noticed it, he was just turbo autismo and purposely wanted it in the movie
>>217110827he's not wrong, still love lotr
>>217105058Cry more faggit i just gave him some $.
>>217105697He still drops "sensible analysis"
>>217110983>purposely wanted it in the movieYeah, that’s obvious. My idea that it was just an inside joke on set is just as valid
>>217110860never heard of him but shall give a look thanks anon. since most movie companies are cia fronts that push certain agendas im all for certain theories if there are at least patterns within the film
>>217110893>Why would anyone viewing even pay attention to what magazine he’s reading that’s barely visible?>anyonehere's where you're wrongthinking... Kubrick put layers in his movies. he inserted stuff, not for everyone all at once which is the method these days, but subtle stuff only some would catch. A man selling newspaper all days long or a writer for a magazine, someone into fashion, idk, but some of these would definetely spot what magazine it was, and they would mention it to their buddiesI don't think Kubrick had planned to have that precise magazine when he started the production, but once he saw it he likely thought it was a great puzzle piece. All of his later movies are filled with these. Maybe he was looking for mates, 180iq ppl to discuss the matters of the world with, maybe he was playing games, maybe just wanted enlighten them, urge the people to think more than they usually do.
>>217112079is that letter to do with 2001 a space oddysey or what? I agree with everything you said. there's also the story about them doing the rape scene and kubrick saying it felt to dry etc, with malcolm mcdowell apparently suggesting to sing one song he only knew the lyrics to. I don't believe that happened, I think kubrick wanted it himself, it's even played in the credits.
>>217110893
>>217101233how the FUCK did they fit so much luggage in a beetle
>>217112494is it just me or does it look like Jack is checking out the back of the tribike? aka looking at the buttom of the barrel

>one of the smartest person discussing film, able to desert subtle director touches from subjective misinterpretations >falls for obvious political grifts like brexit it's not easy being autistic
>>217101233He has no understanding of art or the creative process. Watching a movie with a decoder ring isn't analysis. I feel bad Kubrick's work attracts this type of autistic personality and vulgar interpretation.
>>217102619it's gotta be that full metal jacket is about sex
>>217110893there's literally a book about Scientology in same frame as Tom Cruise in EWS. Kubrick knew what he was doing.
>>217114877Go back to plebbit
>>217110795accurate take. i mean, birdman wasn't incredible by any means, but it sure is better than anything nolan's ever done.
>>217106144>>217106072He is fucking fantastic at editing trailers. He makes all sorts of mediocre crap look interesting in the video intros.His actual reviews are not that great, I agree.
>>217114946why? because I foresaw brexit was going to make the immigration crisis in the UK worse or because I'm reminding you that you fell for it again?
>>217114877>10 years later they're still seething about it>"THEY...THEY STOLE OUR FUTURE!!! HOW DID THEY DARE TARGETING VOTERS !!! THINK OF ALL THE VIBRANCY BRITAIN HAS LOST AS A RESULT !!"
>>217110827I only see correct opinions there.
>>217115008what brexit did was replace slavic immigrants that had no long term plans of remaining in the UK after they made their money with muslim rapists that have turned the country into a dystopian shithole. but hey, man, take you win from 10 years ago if it helps you sleep.
>>217114906Ok. That doesn't mean that literally everything is actually part of the meticulously crafted hidden schizo metanarrative that you want to read into every Kubrick movie. Forcing Jack Nicholson to look at a Playgirl while having to film a scene is funny and doesn't have to be anything more than crew shenanigans.
>>217112079...he wanted that guy to marry and fuck him?
>>217114877more like it's not easy being retarded, judging by your post
do you guys have pictures of his daughter? I'm pretty sure she's 25 years old and I think we went to the same school and she was my nieghbour for 2 years but I still don't know if she really was his daughter or not because one I time I asked her if she knew who mr Ager was and she replied with "yes, he's my daddy" and I was floored and then I didn't want her to think I was stupid so I ran away to the nearest 7-11 and tried to find out if what she said was true or not and ever since then I haven't talked with her because I don't know, she called me two years ago but all I said was "hello?" and when she said her name I didn't say anything back, just breathed until she hang up and I guess we broke up since we're on no speaking terms atm but still, it makes me wonder, right?
>>217115049yeah, most of the time it's Kubrick fucking around, I can agree on that. but I can see why people would overanalyze everything considering how genius the dialogue in 2001 is, but then again, I'm still on the fence if that was all Kubrick or Clarke
>>217115049>bro, they were just filming whatever >it's not like filming costs money or Kubrick was doing dozens of takes and anal about every detail
>>217115088whatever, man. I hope you're someone arguing in bad faith, and not a bong coping with his country going down the toilet.
>>217115129I'm a non-Bong arguing in good faith
>>217115125Where did I say they were just filming whatever? They filmed a scene that was scheduled and the crew decided to fuck with the lead actor by making him look at gay porn. The fact that Kubrick famously did dozens of takes just makes it that much funnier. The mythology that's been built up around Kubrick by schizo autismos on the internet is wild.
>>217115125>anal about every detailmaybe anal about actor delivery but certainly not every detail otherwise you wouldn't have shit like the helicopter shadow
>>217115277Exactly. There's no doubt Kubrick, and lots of other directors put things in the background for subtext or as a joke, but then the mentally ill start frame-advancing and extrapolating all kinds of references that aren't intended.
>>217115340>you wouldn't have shit like the helicopter shadowThat only appears in the unmatted tv print. It was framed out as intended for the theater print.
>>217115277bro, I haven't even seen the movie(actually I have, but only half and I was 16 and can't remember anything, might as well not have seen it)
>>217115372The overanalyzing has really killed any discussion around his movies. Would be interesting to look into why Kubrick attracts that type of viewer.
were do I start with Rob Ager if I'm not into Kubrick??
>According to the New York Film Academy, Ager was one of the earliest internet movie critics and pioneered the video movie critique. ?????>In a 2021 article, Esquire credited him with first developing the theory regarding suggestions of child sexual abuse in The Shining.?????
>>217106072His videos are more about going over the production of a movie and what it was like seeing it for the first time, they’re not really “reviews” in a normal sense
>>217115816His video on Red Dawn, if you're not a cuck
>>217116165What a chad. Unironically.
>>217115816Honestly his only valuable work is when he points out the sexual abuse themes in movies, so really it's just the Exorcist if you don't want to hear about his thoughts on Clockwork Orange or the Shining. Although I did really like his Hitchcock analyses especially Psycho
Rob said, if he was put in charge of writing a sequel to The Thing, he would have the Thing assimilate a billionaire or powerful politician. He also said he would characterize the Thing as really sadistic and malicious. He clearly doesn't understand it
>>217101233you just know he's here reading the thread. he does great work
>>217104509>500 people livecome now odysee is botted to hell
>>217116406I don't think creating and editing your own wiki and adding misleading quotes from <insert 3rd world country> version of famous publication is very chad.
>watching Rob Ager for a couple hours at the tail end of an LSD trip and slowly drifting to sleep Yeah, it’s kino.
>>217116452If that's true it's fucking stupid he would say that. If the Thing gets to any warm area it's game over for all life on Earth. It would assimilate everything.
>>217101233He’s based as fuck. Don’t agree with all of his takes but that’s the nature of an articulate and opinionated guy who’s willing to put all his thoughts out there. I’d rather have more people like him in media discourse instead of the “it’s peak” “it’s shit” paradigm.
these reviewers are fuckded they have to pretend every movie released is shit while watching said movies to shit on endlessly
>>217115008Brexit made nigel farrage rich and the working class and middle class stayed broke.
>>217116534reread your post and think again
>>217116577pretend?
>>217116545His argument is that the notion of an organism that wants to assimilate EVERYTHING "makes no sense", because a predator needs prey and wouldn't leave itself no prey, so instead the Thing would simply find the most "ideal" host on Earth, which would of course be the POTUS or the richest man on earth or something, and live comfortably, like this is They Live and not a cosmic horror story. Again, it shows how poorly Rob misunderstands The Thinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFauBXQkoT4I think this is the video where he pitches his shitty movie idea but idk, I'm not gonna rewatch it to confirm
>>217106245Worley literally is a dick sucking faggot but man, does he understand kino. The amount of research and information he accumulates for his essays is astounding and being able to thread through it all to get to ttheheart of what it s that George was trying to say with hismovies literally from the startt of his career is nothing short of incredible. He's a smart cat, that one.
>>217116679Reasonable enough, he’s thinking more along the lines of The Yeerks from Animorphs instead of The Flood from Halo.Though I believe the mystery of how intelligent The Thing is, is part of that film’s charm.
He represents his opinions well and really that’s all you can ask for. If you disagree at least you have something substantive to disagree with.
>>217116701To me, I think that the notion of the Thing wanting to assimilating all life "making no sense" is just absurd. I could poke a million holes in it. 1, the Thing is just an animal, it doesn't know any better, it's just operating on instinct. Predators don't consciously uphold the balance of the ecosystem the way humans do. 2, the Thing could simply be a big fish in a small pond. It fit into a stable ecosystem on its home planet, but when you introduce it to a place like Earth, it crashes the entire ecosystem in a single day. Such a thing has happened irl before many times. 3, it's a fucking alien with unknowable motivation. Saying the Thing wouldn't assimilate all life is like saying Cthulhu wouldn't destroy the earth, because "why would he destroy it if he could just conquer it instead"? Ummm idk because it's a fucking alien demon?? Who the fuck knows why it does anything, that's the whole point. 4, it could truly believe its consciousness is the greatest thing in existence, similar to the Mind Flayer from Stranger Things, or its interpretation in the short story "Things". There's a million good answers, but Rob is so unimaginative he can't intuit a single one of them
>>217116513He also streams on at least one other platform and I can't keep track of which one is popular atm but I use the one which works. Also rumble somehow manages to put ads into videos despite ad blockers. Anyway, 500 people watching a live is not that much if you consider blackpilled is the top channel in odysee so everyone else has less. If you are on youtube doing similar content in non-english channels, they often get thousands of people watching live and the content is usually real mediocre.
>>217116612>he fell for the rich are manipulating you and yadda yadda memePlebbit is that way
>>217102619He analyzes the inconsistency of lighting and sun placement between shots in 2001 to say that it's trying to communicate something (but can't say what lol)
>>217101233He wants trump to noootice him and give him american shitizenship
Is there anyone on youtube that actually post meaningful analysis? Hammered Out is good at times.
I like this guy https://www.youtube.com/@feralhistorian/videos
>>217105221>Dick was thrilled with his first glimpse of Blade runner on TV. In October 1981, he wrote to the producers [1]:>I came to the conclusion that this indeed is not science fiction; it is not fantasy; it is exactly what Harrison said: futurism. The impact of BLADE RUNNER is simply going to be overwhelming, both on the public and on creative people -- and, I believe, _on science fiction as a field._ … Nothing that we have done, individually or collectively, matches BLADE RUNNER. This is not escapism; it is super realism, so gritty and detailed and authentic and goddam convincing that, well, after the segment I found my normal present-day "reality" pallid by comparison. What I am saying is that all of you collectively may have created a unique new form of graphic, artistic expression, never before seen. And, I think, BLADE RUNNER is going to revolutionize our conceptions of what science fiction is and, more, _can_ be.>… As for my own role in the BLADE RUNNER project, I can only say that I did not know that a work of mine or a set of ideas of mine could be escalated into such stunning dimensions. My life and creative work are justified and completed by BLADE RUNNER. Thank you...and it is going to be one hell of a commercial success. It will prove invincible.
>>217114887>He has no understanding of art or the creative process. Watching a movie with a decoder ring isn't analysis. I feel bad Kubrick's work attracts this type of autistic personality and vulgar interpretation.I do agree Rob has some really off base interpretations of art. Sometimes when he moves outside his Kubrick or the kind of sci-fi/80's action movie wheelhouse he has you can see it. But Kubrick is also arguably lacking in some dimensions when it comes to viewing his own films as art.
>>217110031Hard disagree. Wish he pursued his own stuff more. Turn In Your Grave is hard to watch on a first viewing and then it has incredible rewatch value. Is it a great movie? Is it technically perfect? Of course not, it was made on 5000gbp But there's clearly an ember of talent in there and I wish he'd fan that into flames...
>Rob Agermy fan fiction : he is from the future something different about him
>>217122384Well you're not *completely* off base
>>217122636lolOn that he's different or from the future?
>>217122698Shhhhh
>>217110795I haven't seen Birdman so I can't speak on that. But Dark Knight is capeshit. I know it's difficult for some of you to believe but some really don't care for capeslop and treat it as such.
>>217110795>>217123315I mean he's technically agreeing with popular view that dark knight is a great movie but only because you are always waiting for joker to appear on-screen again and meanwhile you wonder what he's up to.
>>217118434Feral Historian is among the relative few, like Ager, producing high-grade film examination, and also that of scifi stories. Kinos unto themselves. FH has an altogether different approach which is good.
>>217108137>the things without a 5 minute intro.huh?
>>217123315>>217123366I rewatched TDK over the new year and the fight scenes are terrible, so slow and weightless. The most interesting things Batman does are all via gliding/cape (excepting the Rachel dive, where he defies physics) or vehicle. Two-Face is poorly thought out - that much exposed flesh would soon become infected and kill him, though they kill him anyway because it was from the 'gritty realism' era where having quirky characters like a man in half-half suits running a mob was considered cringe. Joe Kerr is captivating and really does salvage a mediocre script, even if he himself embodies the 'gritty realism' aspect he manages to balance it out with the psychosis.
>>217123458I try again. If Rob made a 10 point video, he would immediately start with "the point number 1 is..." and not have a 5 minute intro first explaining or jabbing to pad out the video.
>>217123633>(excepting the Rachel dive, where he defies physics)This is the most bizarre scene in the movie. Falls from like a 30 story building onto the roof of a car (with a guy in the car). Rachel is fine. He seems fine. Then the scene cuts to something else, without ever resolving the fact that the Joker was still in the penthouse looking for Harvey who presumably hadn't escaped. It becomes more jarring every time.
>>217123704>the things without a 5 minute intro>I try again>"the point number 1">jabbingESL detected
>>217123704I like a bit of context before the list begins but I thought you meant that he was listing only films that do not begin within five minutes.
>>217123725Glad you noticed but good luck trying to figure out what I meant.
>>217123783Yeah it's not always easy to produce these sentences. And if I have been drinking while typing them, at some point I just post it lol.
>>217119705>>… As for my own role in the BLADE RUNNER project, I can only say that I did not know that a work of mine or a set of ideas of mine could be escalated into such stunning dimensions.
