Fuck it, let's just do whatever" and I feel that's what they're doing now.

It would be better for them to do whatever they feel like instead of doing something they obviously have no passion for. Their best stuff recently have been their gameshow shit. It feels like their actually enjoy themselves.

And their prop buying/fixing endeavors; I actually like those too. Well, most of the time; not every.

It's always fascinating to see that for all the abuse he takes Rich is easily the handiest one in the group and a big reason their stuff looks as good as it does.

I grew to actively dislike Rich from Previously Recorded streams. (Your true self always comes out in such a scenario and he's truly atrocious as a person), but yeah, I do agree still.

I miss Previously Recorded. I've watched more of that now than RLM itself in the past 5 years. I loved that. With Rich and Jack as always my LEAST favorite of the cast; go figure. But their passion for video gaming was great and always very informative.

How so? I know he's a bigtime fedora tipper on religious matters, but I never watched enough Pre-Rec to get more of a sense of him than that.

That alone isn't enough?

No but really, Rich has a huge case of unwarranted self importance; dude think he's the definitive take on things like movies, franchises, etc. You see it more on their actual streams vs episodes. He's pretty insufferable.

I thought it was funny how people begged him to play Vampire: The Masquerade and when he finally did he thought it was shit.

Edit: lol I actually forgot that they straight up said they were doing it so chat would shut the fuck up about it.

I can't believe it's been ten years. Just re-watching it, I could have sworn Jack and Rich had kind of a disdain for modern consoles and were very pro PC, but are acting like absolute gen z console gamers about having to use a fan patch.

I think being pressured into it probably hurt the game's estimation a lot. Even if a game is good all the way through having people twist your arm to do it is going to make you sour on it. Bloodlines has mediocre combat, the sewers, then the awful last quarter with loads of combat slogs.

Seeing Jack play the Witcher 3 and skipping every cut scene was maddening ( at the time he just refused to watch any cut scene in any game) and he complained about not knowing what to do. But he tried the game again by himself and found out that the game actually has good cut scenes, something he says he had never seen done before and he ended up loving the game.

Both Jack and Rich are special, but I love them.

Rich and Jack going directly to the graveyard in Dark Souls because chat kept telling them to remove skeleton. Yep, those were the days...

Am I the only one that's soured on the Plinkett Star Wars reviews over time? Like yeah, I thought they were the funniest and most insightful shit when I was 15, but after years and years of 'media literacy' and people that can't into suspension of disbelief, I'm just dog-tired of it. There's plot holes that actually detract from the story, and then there's shit you dig into because you're predisposed to hate something, and it seems like the RLM/CinemaSins school of criticism just wants to turn every mountain into a molehill. The worst thing is in the case of the SW prequels, most of it makes sense if you can get onto Lucas' weird autistic wavelength and can make inferences that movies don't normally ask you to make. Lucas is admittedly kinda shit at explaining things and he asks a lot from you, but the logic can be parsed through if you're willing.

i started to cope and say to myself "well ya know at the time they were making those it wasnt as common, not a lot of people were doing stuff like this" but then i started to remember the few who were, weird ass little faggots like confused matthew and the like and im just like, damn, they really are just a bunch of fart sniffing cock suckers

The prequels are much better than the sequels and I got annoyed at RLM when they couldn't admit this even after their opinion on the sequels soured after TLJ.
Whatever issues they have the prequels actually had a vision and theres artistry. Even if many plot points failed, george Lucas was being sincere in his attempt to make them unlike the soulless slop filled with self irony.

I prefer the skits & jokes over the arguments of the Plinkett reviews nowadays or maybe I always did, I don't really remember.

The point still stands: the prequels are objectively bad movies. They're bad in the sense that they aren't well-directed, that extremely skilled actors are wasted on embarrassing dialogue, that the CGI despite pushing technological boundaries didn't add much bar Lucas' tech-fetishism, that the overall plotline was haphazard at the best of times (having to constantly reset bad guy every movie didn't help). They're however interesting bad movies: you could see what Lucas was trying to do (a trilogy where "evil wins", a story of corruption and political intrigue) but he wasn't skilled enough to do so, and this time his entourage wasn't up to cover for him. Plus, a lot of the prequel stuff is funny for its absurdity (a.k.a the neverending Prequel memes).

Plinkett's revies came from people that venerated Star Wars. RedLetterMedia knows nothing about cinema bar 80ies America, they're people that would die if you forced them to watch some good Euro or Asian cinema. They're ignorant, essentially, of anything outside pop US movie industry bar some limited foray in indie cinema or their love for endless trash movies. So the fact that the Prequels were a failure had this.... existential weight for them, because Star Wars was the coolest thing ever and the foundation of pop sci-fi cinema.

Fifteen years later, we have Disney Star Wars. We're completely sick of Star Wars and the original trilogy is kind of tainted by having each and every one of its parts being repeated ad nauseam or mangled through corpo fuckery. Plinkett's reviews nowadays are at best an amusing 2000-era youtube comedy bit, because the context has changed massively: you realize that Star Wars was never good after all and that the RedLetterMedia crew was a bunch of kind-of-clueless fans with decent humor, and that's ok.

You're not alone.

Spoiler: Diatribe about RLM and starwars

While Plinkett reviews were fine enough, I and a few others have definitely soured on RLM's take on starwars. While the prequels aren't flawless movies, the fan reaction to them beat George Lucas into a corner. Many will say "poor millionaire and his money" but I genuinely think George cared about his artform and medium, and being told "you raped my childhood" over the course of years and years would make anyone throw up their hands. It went beyond criticism and became taunt and ridicule. When it comes to RLM, they gave one unified voice on the internet at a time when such long video was extremely rare. And while RLM didn't outright say "go harass Lucas and burn him its only been ten years" but people used Plinkett as a flag to rally around and before you know it there's insane amounts of effort put in to just hating those movies. Of course people point to his "JJ abrams would be a good director for starwars" thing but I feel like my biggest issue with RLM at the moment is they will never revise the prequels and give them the same "artistic" leanience that they do other movies that are objectively as bad if not worse than the prequels. A sci-fi film that was made in the 80s with a huge budget then flopped will get a critical lense while anything starwars is thrown into the "this is bad shit" category. There's also the fact that the plinkett review put RLM on the map. Speaking against the video that made them so many fans is something they are probably entirely uninterested in.

I honestly think some of the demographics of starwars go beyond when someone was born. I love the extended lore of starwars and what is now called "legends" and I find the books to be great and games like KOTOR were amazing, people like me will probably see more in the prequels than someone that thinks reading starwars books is nerd shit and games even moreso. It's a matter of perspective, perhaps disposition.

I preffer to think of RLM as very enthusiastic fans of movies but not critics of cinema. And that's not a bad thing, they never said they were experts, but many treat them as though they are.

Tldr; No me too.

So apparently they're going to do Gremlins 3...

https://x.com/i/trending/1986432773335154729

Warner Bros. announced Gremlins 3 during its investor call, scheduling the live-action sequel for November 19, 2027, the first in 37 years since the 1990 film.
