I think Mike is wrong about the genetics of nepo babies. Most of them are shit, and I think a Wyatt Russell works out because he wasn't pushed as an actor as a kid, he wanted to be a hockey player I think. Actually doing something with your life before acting seems to be the key ingredient to a good actor, or used to.

Yeah I think RLM has a big problem with defending/sucking the dicks of their "friends," in this case that one pretty-boy looking guy (I don't remember his name). Like look at their reaction to the Max Landis shit. In their reviews of his movies after he came on to the show and before his controversies (I think the movies were American Ultra and Me Him Her), both guys (but especially Mike, the one primarily trying to dispute the nepo babies thing here) are still trying to suck his dick even though those films were both forgetable, shitty garbage.
Also look at how they insist on showing off a bullshit drawing given to them by certified hack Justin Roiland and made that whole Rick and Morty thing, for a guy who, just based off the guys past taste in comedy, they likely don't think is funny.
Even though I can't blame them for trying to gain a bigger footing in the industry, it is starting to get a little insipid and pandering as of late.

fucking friends, how do they work?

considering that on top of those two other things they collaborated with a whole commentary track for his recent game which seemed pretty on-board with its gimmick i think you're probably projecting here
just say you hate him and the skit sucked. you can't really assume shit about what people are like or how they relate off-camera and thinking you can is super gay and kinda parasocial

 

[Jyuu]

fucking friends, how do they work?

Yes, but you have to have integrity. You should be willing to be brutally honest and disagree with them in a professional environment, especially in an industry like film criticism where you're integrity is super important to the audience. (and I'm not saying the guys don't have integrity, or that I don't like the stuff they produce, I just think its important to discuss considering how weak Mike's nepo babies counter was).

That's fair enough, I was probably out of line on that critique.

So, is Glass Onion a comedy or not? Because people who like it seem to think it is one while those who hate it say it's not.

As far as I can tell Glass Onion, like other Rian Johnson films, isn't designed with any specific plan in mind. It's just whatever Rian Johnson feels like putting to screen. The movie is wholly self-indulgent, meaningless art. The very idea of a "Glass Onion" comes from a Beatles song (written by John Lennon) criticizing their fans for looking too deep into their music. The film might as well be a statement on the way a Rian Johnson movie is made.

I liked Glass Onion, but I was also getting shitfaced and making fried rice in the other room while watching it.

Yeah I liked it too, but I was watching it while drunk but realized it was a very dumb (but entertaining) movie and definitely went 'oh fuck off' when they pulled out the 'lmao secret twin and nothing you saw in the first hour and a half counts it was all bullshit'

I kind of expected that sort of asspull the moment she brute forced the puzzle box.

The more I hear about this movie, the more it sounds like an Adam Sandler production. Film a few hours every day and then party the rest of the time.

Those behind-the-scenes videos from The Last Jedi certain make it seem that way. Everyone's laughing and joking and they commission ridiculously expensive props to then just discard.

Rian Johnson did make at least one decent movie: Brick.

I've joked before that Looper is the best Philip K Dick movie ever made. (yes I know, it's not technically one of his stories - that's part of the "joke")

I just assumed she was a dumb nigger with poor impulse control

Which, I mean, turned out to be true and she just gets drunk and smashes everything to pieces in the end, it's just it was also a twist, I guess.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

Sounds like a Rian Johnson film alright

Just once id like to see someone try to reverse the rich/poor dynamic, make something like that old ant & grasshoper tale

Rich dude is a scrappy fella that worked hard and prepared for the future

Poor dude is a lazy ass living in the moment, grows resentful of rich dude because he wants what he has

People like this exist in real life too, ya know

I know I’ve seen a couple movies like that, though the names escape me at the moment.

Since Glass Onion was feeling like such a hard retread of the first one I was kinda expecting a twist like that in the end. Where the working class woman was behind the murder. However in the biggest twist of all, Rian Johnson decided not to subvert my expectations

 

[BubbleButt]

Rian Johnson seems like he wants to be M. Night Shyamalan despite not being as talented as a street shitter.

I archived the Max Landis video, was Roiland in anything else besides that one where he dubs in Mike and Jay as Rick and Morty?

That wouldn't surprise me. The guys seem careful to avoid controversy these days—that's why they've become equivocating with their negative opinions. They're getting to the age where building a retirement nest egg is their primary concern.
