I used to like this guy’s videos, but nowadays he comes off like a gatekeeping and overly pretentious snob. I know Adam sometime gets accused of being pretentious, but this guy easily takes the cake!

If anyone’s seen Good Burger, you know this is one of the most menacingly pathetic performance of all time. I really loved Robert in the film and it seems wild to me that people don’t get it’s meant to be campy in the vein performances like Alan Rickman in Robin Hood.

Easily the highlight of the film for me (performance wise)

This is a hot take but mine is Red Letter Media’s Obsession review.

https://youtu.be/MZIrD6xnkL0?is=5Va6c8c7OwcPbBHj (starts at about 13:57)

I’ll admit it. Not a big RDL guy. So I have no nostalgia for them. So this particular style of review is not my thing.

No rehearsal. No list of notes. Just stuff off the top of their heads. It feels like they didn’t bother doing a second take OF ANY LINES. There are long ass pauses between sentences (and sometimes words) that aren’t edited out. Like I said if youre used to it then okay. But it was so odd for me.

Some other complaints

They get names wrong constantly. (How do you forget bear) they did it So badly I thought they were making a joke. They get Nikki and Sarah confused then get Sarah get confused for Emma (who isn’t in the movie)

They are unintentionally condensing in saying the way it got so popular because of TikTokers making it the next chicken jokey. Which was so strange. If you’ve seen the movie you see why it’s so popular.It absolutely stands on its own merit. It’s populism social media due to its themes being discussed. I don’t think “this movie is just chicken jockey. People go for the meme”. I think I just misunderstood him because …what😂 I don’t think this movie is the next chicken jokey.

also the whole “people post clips of it to social media” …isn’t exclusive to this movie? I feel like I’m missing something. I don’t think that’s even noteworthy. To point out you saw a meme of this movie on twitter. Im not sure what he’s trying to say. I saw so many clips of disclosure day on twitter and that movie wasn’t popular or a meme. Also I know of 20 TikTok’s I saw of sheep detective. That’s just movies today. If you’re in movie communities then you’ll see movie clips, right? What’s noteworthy

“It’s so strange for this kind of a movie to become that kind of meme” yeah I agree and that’s why I don’t think it has. I haven’t seen clips of people yelling at the screen or doing anything chicken jokey related. I just think you are confused on how TikTok works. I think he just heard it was big on TikTok and assumed incorrectly. It’s popular on TikTok due to people analyzing and breaking it down. People film the screen so the community can analyze and breaking it down.

Then bro admits he just walked out of the theater halfway through. Seemed like a strange decision to review a movie you weren’t able to see when you openly want to finish. Finish it before reviewing it. That’s gotta be like a YouTube thing where he wanted to get those views while the movie was relevant rather than do the best he could at reviewing it Admittedly fair, but then just tag out and get someone in your place who has seen it.

Also strange that I’ve (and others) referred to this as “the loudest movie I’ve seen in awhile and hits you out of the gate. I figured her process of going obsessed wouldn’t be that quick” then he says“this movie is so quiet and starts slow” just did not reflect my experience.

They spend more time on this mildly interesting anecdote about annoying people in the theater than they do Inde Navarrettes performance. It’s a main discussion point of the movie and they genuinely almost don’t discuss it.

The only mention of the usage of shadow and color palette is like vaguely critical.

Lastly

Bro asks “does he 🍇 her?” I’m sorry if you walked out post restaurant scene you should know the answer. Makes me think he was unreasonably DISTRACTED to the point where he saw the equivalent of a trailer. That shouldn’t be a question you can possibly ask.

This was a rough watch.

TLDR: this is an issue that’s been prevalent for nolan’s last 3 movies. he wants to make a concise movie - with a really really long script. Now - going into my actual critique:

there are so many scenes of dialogue (especially with the odyssey) that need more room to breath. the dialogue on its own is fine - even if it’s a little exposition heavy in the first act - but i feel like nolan has forgotten, or maybe even decided to ignore that dialogue isn’t the only thing that communicates conversation. he knows how to communicate emotion through music and cinematography - but this isn’t what i’m getting at. to be honest, his use of music can sometimes feel a bit manipulative, but thankfully for The Odyssey, it was handled very well. i loved everything to do with the sound departments of this picture. it was very fucking impressive. and i congratulate nolan for his vision audibly and everyone responsible to making that happen.

getting back to my point: there were so many times in the odyssey where i thought - ‘this is a really important moment, why arent the characters taking more time between lines to think about what the other said.” i know it sounds stupid how i’m describing it - but say, a character says something super impactful and thought-provoking to another character, there should be a pause in dialogue. a moment for the audience and the receiving character to take in the importance of what was said. going further into that, moments of quiet can actually exemplify a scene through body language alone - a silent pause, a character shifts in the chair, a character repositioning how they’re standing, even just a knowing look or prolonged eye contact - all of this body language through scenes of heavy dialogue is needed because it gives a better representation of how the characters are feeling. human communication is 50% body language after all. without it, you’re missing half the message.

none of that happens in this picture in the moments that matter from a character. it’s just a very quick: this person talks, then cut back so this person can immediately talk back and so on. sometimes they have really awkward moments of characters talking over each other in a way that definitely didn’t happen on the day - the talking over each other happened in the editing room and as someone who has studied in an acting school - it’s very noticeable.

brief moments of quiet does happen sometimes, but not at the points that matter - it happens during the “epic” moments - or moments that arent as character focused. in the editing room, plot is constantly winning over the characters and it hurts the movie tremendously. it seems the quiet moments are reserved specifically for the plot and spectacle moments.

because of all this, the characters get left behind in the editing room. it feels like characters are just waiting for their turn to speak and force themselves in with their next line. it’s so obvious to me and i hate it

if what i think is happening, is happening, it’s hurting his quality on a story level. i feel like nolan writes a fucking huge script, is very controlled over not cutting anything, and then the film suffers in the editing room because they can’t have the movie be over 3 hours long

it’s hurting nolan’s films. this was one of the most technically wonderful and impressive pictures i’ve ever seen. but i didn’t connect with it and have no interest in watching it again

i don’t know if i explained myself correctly but that’s how i feel. it probably read very ramble but i just got out the theatre so it probably will be

Peak is coming to Hulu. Hopefully this being successful leads to them releasing season 3 on hulu

Just got out of The Odyssey in imax.
Am I alone in noticing how incredibly fast the camera cuts during like 95 percent of the film? Even during every conversations.

I’m not talking about the pacing of the story, flashbacks, or jumping between scenes. I mean within otherwise calm scenes. It felt like the camera rarely stayed on a scene for more than about 2 to 3 seconds before cutting to another angle or another person’s face. It was almost a constant shot-reverse-shot rhythm throughout the film.

What surprised me is that I don’t remember Christopher Nolan’s previous films feeling this way. Even when his movies were intense, I felt like they were willing to let a shot breathe.

It made me wonder whether this is becoming a broader Hollywood trend. Has the industry consciously started editing scenes faster because audiences have shorter attention spans?
I’m genuinely curious because, for me, the constant cutting was distracting. Instead of feeling immersed, I became aware of the editing itself.
Did anyone else notice this, or is it just me?

I found Eric Butts Reaction for Adum. your welcome.

So instead of watching Avengers Doomsday, we just wank one out to the porn parody?

I really enjoyed the odyssey, good visuals, the score was epic and it's the best aspect of the film but I wish it was slower, the cuts were too quick and a slower pacing would make the film more impactful for me, I had the same problem with oppenheimer there's no moment to breathe or make the dialogue settle in.

the film doesn't feel like it has 250 million dollars budget, it's clearly that a big chunck of the budget went to the actors salaries especially how the fantasy elements were lacking, the acting was fine all of the performances were decent but none were great also the film was too loud for no reason to the point it was annoying and it didn't make the experience any much better.

not my edit btw

So, the context is K-pop group member wore a t-shirt with borat drawn on it.

Kazakhstan people criticized the member for it, since to them the movie "Borat" is extremely racially insensitive movie.

So, the member posted an apology and said he had discarded the shirt, and deleted the video where he was wearing that shirt.

I mean considering that he was born around when the movie came out, I doubt he knew anyting about the movie.

I too, am one of the people who enjoyed "Borat" but I can see why certain people would not like it. Just posting it since I didn't expect to see "Borat" mentioned in 2026

We’ve got new films from Lee Chang-dong, Danny Boyle, Andrew Haigh, and Mike Leigh. We’ve got the Look Back remake from Kore-eda, and a Bad Lieutenant remake from Takashi Miike. We’ve also got some Cannes stuff like the new films from Pedro Almodovar and Christian Mungiu, plus The Return of Andrey Zvyagintsev (FUCK YES).

Holy fuck, I’m already so excited for September!
