It sucks the title's so generic, but it's the 2017 one, directed by Andrew Getty. He was the grandson of some billionaire and had a shitton of money at his disposal while making it. He started in like 2002 and secluded himself in his mansion trying to perfect it while constantly methed out of his mind until he died around 2015; I think the editor ended up finishing it.

I watched it a while ago and it has really stuck with me because of the dichotomy between the bizarre dialogue and really interesting visuals, all amplified by the backstory behind it, of course. Wonderfully weird film.

Thanks for the info -- I use Does the Dog Die for obvious and not-so-obvious reasons; I know Jay is a pervert but even he noted Mike Flanagan's dead cat/dog problem. I'm mentioning that in particular because nevertheless he still recommends Midnight Mass ∴ I'm guessing he will at least watch it.

. Maybe Hollywood's slump could be fixed if they just recruited meth addicts off the streets and gave them millions of dollars and carte blanche to make whatever the hell they want.

New Hollywood already was that exact thing, but now jews are too stingy with their money to do that now.

pretty ironic that something that sounds like the backstory of a great horror movie is actually the real life backstory of a great horror movie. What if the thing keeping us from getting another great horror movie is a film crew getting lost in the woods on a dark and stormy night.

It's not just about YouTube monetization. It's about them having to self censor now because they'll get their entire video removed or their channel will be removed from search results. They don't want to be one of those channels that is basically hidden from view. YouTube has all of these rules where if you mention certain topics you get instantly flagged. Or certain words will cause your video to be reviewed. Or certain topics or phrases get you one of those 'context articles' or whatever where they put a link to COVID or 9/11 or whatever wrongthink you mentioned.

It's not about the money. It's about them being able to say / do what the fuck they want to do without having Youtube's censor czar's clamp down on their nuts like a vice. Have you noticed how unbearably TAME they've gotten over the last few months?

then why do it? they openly talk about hating their fans, hey Mike if you want people to click on your youtube you're better off reviewing batman than toning down content. Not to be shitty about it, but Redbar and MATI and Lolcow live and Kino Kasino and Cumtown and Matt&Shane proudly go "yeah fuck that" and they have made way less money from patreon/paypigs than Red Letter Media. like let someone else worry about cutting your content to bits. they already post their videos on patreon, who gives a fuck if its on youtube. or better yet cut it to pieces on youtube and go "you can sub for the unedited bullshit"

Especially because who the fuck discovers Red Letter Media from youtube in this day and age. if you find out about RLM its because its video is posted on tiktok or reddit or some other social media and you go "let's click on that" its like thinking people are just now discovering AVGN.

You prove your own point. Who clips MATI? Who puts RedBar on TikTok? Yeah, some folks do, but just look at their numbers compared to RLM. You can watch other videos from random creatives and hear RLM mentioned. Ain't nobody talking about Kino Kasino outside the reactionary silo.

That's where RLM is right now. Do they want to go wild and get locked up in a bubble? Or do they want to maintain broad, mainstream appeal? They're walking the fine line of being mainstream edgy but yes YouTube is grinding down that edge and yes that is the problem with youtube.

They're probably free to shit on Joker 2 and have some vindication this time. Jay always thought Todd Philips was an unironic hack and that seems to be the case this time.
 
It wouldn't surprise me if he did it for that locks of love thing for cancer patients. I appreciate him not talking about it, a youtuber who doesn't tell us all they do is refreshing. But not as refreshing as our sponsor Hello Fresh Nord Purple Raid of Tanks.

Mike addressed it, less sarcastically than usual, and claimed Jay just does this all the time, radically changing his hairstyles on a whim.

It's certainly not Locks of Love; you need like 8 inches of hair to donate to them.
 
They had a miserably hot and humid summer in Milwaukee. That's probably why he cut it short.

Meh, the puppet master videos aren't doing it for me

Maybe it's just cuz I've never seen the puppet master films, but this is just boring

If you weren't around in the 90s, you won't get it. But these shitty films were a pretty big deal during the VHS days. Kids at school talking about how BADASS Puppet Master is :story:

And they're right, I've only seen bits and pieces of them.
