Am i the only one who kinda likes Culkin, but hates his laughter? I mean, when his laughter triggers me more than Rich ever did, than it's really bad.
I enjoy Culkin and Landis now. Even though you can smell the narcissism leaking out of EVERY pore. Seems like they have gotten better with time as well.
However, I have quit several vids when I just take any more... I think Landis is worse than Culkin.
They are drama queens, but they seemed to learn how to behave with normal, regular people.
 
It's so fucking unfair the way those assholes play it.

They gave James Rofle shit over Ghostbusters 2016 too and in that case he didn't even dislike the movie, he just said he didn't care enough to see it.
I was absolutely shocked to see Patton Oswalt on the show considering how he was one of the hollywood retards leading the charge against James Rolfe over this debacle. You would think he would refuse to associate with RLM over this if he felt so strongly about that trainwreck of a movie.

Oswalt is in Space Cop (I think it's a bit part), so they've had a relationship with him for some time. I hope they don't leave their drinks unattended around him.

If I recall properly, Fatton did indirectly apologize to James about blowing up at him.
 
What health issues? I'm pretty sure the diabetes thing is a joke
It's like that MTV show 2Gether which was about the fake boyband.

They had one character on that claimed to have a Terminal Liver Disease and they used it as a running joke, like as a PR stunt to gain pity points in universe.

2 years after the show ended he died of the Terminal Liver Disease and he really did have the disease and was just really committed towards black comedy.

I don't like Culk but it's not his laugh that gets me. It's the weird nyess sounding thing he does when he's trying to be funny. Hard to explain. This weird accent he goes to when he's trying to make a joke that's not actually a joke.

This is a common thread among RLM fans and associates. They love being politically correct and love shitting on anyone who seems like they're too far right or not PC but when RLM does it absolutely no one calls them out on it. I've mentioned this in the Allison Pregler thread because she's the worst about how obvious her hypocritical RLM dick riding is. RLM is completely bulletproof because they walk the line without crossing it badly enough to outrage enough people. Honestly short of someone having a pedo scandal I don't think they will ever be "canceled". They all have plenty of dirt in their pasts that no one seems to care about using against them. They truly are universally loved.

Why not have James on as a guest? Have either RLM or James mentioned interest in a crossover? It's not like AVGN is doing great lately and he clearly based Rental Reviews off BOTW.
So I watched one of the recent rental reviews (the jurassic park one?) and man did it make me appreciate RLM even more. James' weird friends were all talking all over each other and the discussion had 0 structure. I turned it off after 4 minutes. The entire thing was just autisticscreeching.jpg. James definitely based rental reviews off BotW but it's such an inferior version. Not always bad, Ive gotten through several eps in the past, but not always great either. It just shows that you can't simply watch a movie and have you and your friends talk about it and have it instantly be amazing. RLM do a lot behind the scenes to structure the discussion and a lot in editing to make the magic they do. I do think James would make a good guest though, but ONLY James. And only because he's also a certified movie buff and film maker so I think he could contribute to a discussion and not stick out. He is not as dominant as Mike though so he has a tough time leading things on his own show. But that works on BotW because any time we have someone try to loudly contribute it sucks. James wouldn't be like that.
 
I've said it in the thread itself, but the contrived adversarial format videos are Rental Reviews at their absolute worst. It puts more weight onto people being provoked into explaining why they like/don't like something, and the explanations they come up with are always vapid, under-considered and exaggerated. It doesn't work as comedy (its primary intent) because it's not laugh-out-loud funny, nor is it scoring any deeper laughs from being insightful about more detailed points because nothing has any preparation or consideration to it. It's like a total nothingburger between BOTW and re:views with the quality of neither. At best it's just "that was cool", or if you're lucky James getting nostalgic about something, or giving a shit and noticing a detail which he autistically explains in his usual pleasant way, but these moments are few and far between.

I'm so grateful RLM has somehow avoided taking the nosedive that some of James's content has. They definitely put far more work into preparing for their content than any other channel and it shows.

Oh wow, I forgot about that, wasn't Chris Farley's brother one of the members?

My bet on the "somehow" is James becoming a dad. I know there's a conspiracy theory that Mike has kids with Jessi but none of that is proven. I'm assuming Mike and Jay are not family men and actually dedicating a lot of their time to their channel instead. James got married and got kids and I'm guessing got a nagging wife about him not spending enough time with his girls. Between that and the burnout of a decade of saying poopy ass diarrhea dump he cracked and let himself become a cog in the machine he built. If Mike and Jay had families with kids it's possibile their content may have taken a dive too. If you're single and you fail, you fail. If you're a married man carrying a wife who doesn't work and 2 kids on your back, if you fail you're fucked. There's pressure there and that pressure causes bad decisions. RLM still have the luxury of making whatever they want on their own time because it's that good. But I also think Mike would never marry a woman that nags him for more quality time. His first love will always be making his stuff. Jay idk, he'd probably crack.
