Yeah they're starting to review the movie business more than reviewing movies, and it's not working to their benefit.

 

[King Dead]

They have more than enough time to go early showings with little to no people. They also have more than enough money to rent theaters for private screenings, make it like a Best of the Worst and get a bunch of their friends to do it. There's really no excuse not to watch new movies that you're gonna be covering on your very successful movie review channel.

I forget which video it was, sometime in the last year, but Mike mentioned how they specifically did go out of their way to attend an early showing in the middle of the week to try and avoid people entirely, and somehow they still ended up with some guy near them obnoxiously chomping on popcorn so loud it drove Mike crazy through the whole movie.

Now, I'm not saying it's the urban market of Milwaukee that's causing their exhaustion with movie theaters, but...

No, I am saying it. They won't ever admit it because they don't want to be seen as racist, but I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that the majority (if not all) of their theater complaints had to do with darkies.

But you're right, they really don't have any excuse for this. If you're going to review a movie, then you owe it to your audience to actually go see it, and then not waste their time with yet another rant about how awful you find the theater experience. Maybe you should look for a better theater with a less melanated clientele, even if that means having to drive further afield. I've gone an hour or more out of my way to watch a movie in theaters that I really wanted to see, and I'm not getting paid tens of thousands of dollars every month to do so. If I can do it, so can they.

There’s only so many different ways you can talk about bad and boring movies when they’ve been bad and boring in the exact same way for like fifteen years.

I remember that video, and I just chalked it up to Like Like Stoklasa being overly sensitive about having to share the space with anyone else. I figured it was one old retired guy who had the gall to be present in what should have been their private screening in a public theater.
I don't know much about the Milwaukee area, but I expected these guys to live in some suburb filled with McMansions -- not the inner city. Could they really be watching movies in a theater filled with a bunch of stereotypical blacks screaming at the screen and spilling their orange drank in the aisles?

 

[Heavy Rainfall2]

I'm convinced at least 75% of their issues with movie theater audiences are because they're in Milwaukee. The only negative experience I had in a theater in the last couple years was one nigga who was playing with his phone during the trailers, but to his credit he put it away when the movie actually started

They’re well-known enough that they could probably get into the critics’ screenings of movies.

Oh come on, in a world where weed/love/use and addiction humor has become sacrosanct and 'problematic to criticize that drug as much as trannies for awhile' vs alcohol posting and humor being demonized, give them a break. It's as refreshing as seeing faggot/nigger jokes being ok again vs woke shit.

 

[Hentai-Semitism]

That's his name. It's not that hard to get. For some reason he feels the compulsion to introduce himself to his friends and the audience every 5 seconds.

"Mike" is actually his nickname because it rhymes with "Like Like".

Yes, people eat in movie theaters. I hate it, too. That's why I don't go to theaters that serve dinner and also why I sit in the front row, because the front row is the furthest distance from any other person in the theater.

I imagine Mike is one of those people who needs to sit precisely in the middle of the theater. Well, no shit is someone going to sit near you because everybody wants to sit precisely in the middle of the theater.

I don't understand if there are only three people in the theater--1) Mike, 2) Jay, and 3) Normie Popcorn Eater--why you wouldn't just move away from Normie Popcorn Eater if he's annoying you. Oh no, you have to sit on the side of the theater! Oh no, you have to move a little back or forward and can't sit exactly in the middle! Boo fucking hoo. If you don't like it, why not rent out a theater for a private showing? Surely, your eventual youtube review with 750k views will make enough money to cover the $500 or so it costs to rent out a theater.

RLM is allowed to proliferate because it serves an agenda beyond their ken.

They propagate violence & horror through a chunk of the work they review, and they generally promote being a hater who cannot look away.

I think they are funny and creative guys, who lucked into a larger audience because it served an algorithmic quota beyond their pay-grade.

The concentration of butthurt prequel fanboys is rising in this thread.

Hopefully they end up like their hero Jake Lloyd.

Someone else in the thread pointed out that Mike overuses the word "like" in his sentences more than a teenage valley girl at the mall in 1989 and coined "Like Like" as a nickname for him. I thought it was funny, so I repeated it like the retard I am.

Here, have another clip I slapped together a few years ago when I was already getting tired of hearing that word all the time.

That said, it's hard to listen to the RLM guys talk about a movie produced by YouTubers without taking into account their own firsthand experience of attempting to produce feature films. Do you think that they feel that they got in on the racket too soon? If they were making movies now, they could very easily hold out their digital hats, and people would throw money at them to help fund the production. That wasn't as much of a thing when they made Space Cop.

Late and gay, but I don't think they feel they got in too soon. They 100% could crowdfund a movie if they wanted to, but they don't.

I remember RLM during the filming of Space Cop and just after. They were done. I believe Jay straight up said they would never do a feature ever again because it was too much of a pain in the ass and they were too old. And this was nearly a decade ago now.

They don't want to make a feature, and they definitely don't want the pressure of having to make a feature because they crowdfunded the money. They're comfortable making their Youtube Ad Revenue and Patreon bucks just reviewing shit they saw when they were kids, reviewing shit they didn't even see, playing with movie props they buy and playing quiz games.

Speaking of Clive Barker, I was scrolling through Tubi and saw there was some animated kids movie called "Night of the Zoopocalypse" that said "based on a Clive Barker story" in the description. Didn't know he did a kids movie lol.

Barker was actually pretty successful as a children's author.

posting these, which are my replies to you & 2 other posters ITT, all discussing same -- but clearly it needs to be done, as it is the quickest way to say the unsaid about RLM [excepting those of us who do say it]:

I honestly don't know what type of knuckledraggers have to be living in Milwaukee or what type of bootleg theaters they're going to for me to be hearing all this shit from Mike, Jay, and Rich on a consistent basis, the worst I can recall ever getting it in a theater was when I saw a capeshit movie opening day, which is unsurprising because those types of people are a special breed. But the way they describe it, especially Rich's Oppenheimer story of the Millennial watching Tiktok videos while her spawn praises Barbie loudly after the two danced in halfway through the movie, makes it...

No one look up the demographics of Milwaukee, but the numbers have been getting lower. Pepperoni production also has raised quite a bit around there from what I've heard.

If black numbers are down, it's a percentage being shifted by immigrants, and the only language I heard in the fight footage was Spanish
On the whole GWTW thing, chalk it up to RLM being retarded and movie fans but not cinéastes; they have no idea of film history, and I can't stress this enough: Jay never saw a Spaghetti Western until he was over 40.

He had a deal with Disney to create a fourth park at Walt Disney World in the late 1990s based on the kingdom of Abarat from The Thief of Always that got scuttled due to the projected cost for all the effects in the attractions being too high for the mouse after the opening of Animal Kingdom flopped.
