I think my favorite is “My review of a movie from 1983 that everyone’s already seen 5 times”
Maybe seen 5 times by age, but we should be really talking about the little known 1983 masterpiece, Mr Mom, it will change you as a person.
Is that the movie with the scene of hulk hogan riding a motorbike by a guy yeeting a dog into the river?
Who feeds chili to a baby?
Fletch
No way. Fletch has one of the most chilling “bad cop” scenes in any movie. I’ll talk about it.
Any of you seen Gattaca?
Did you know the letters of the movie are the DNA letters? A-T G-C
TIL
isn’t that explained in the movie? it’s been a while
We had to watch it in biology class. Idk if I learned anything, but it did make me curious about adding moar leg.
Extra butt.
Now I wanna see a cyberpunk drama where you need more ass to join NASA
Predestination. The lead character joins nasa as a space prozzie
"I’m Commander Shepard and this is my favorite policy proposal in this thread. "
“We’ll bang, okay?”
Sometimes I wonder about teachers. Did they actually think we’d learn something from a Hollywood movie, or did they just need a day?
Yes and that movie rules
I love that movie.
It left me very impressed.
People do talk about Gattaca, it’s probably the most realistic cyberpunk movie I’ve seen!
Well then, none of them are talking to me! Lol
I love it. I don’t usually like dystopian settings, but it’s so believable
Waterworld
Popeye. So much so, that my phone autocorrected it to Popeyes, and that doesn’t exist in my country.
I bet no one knows how strong spinach can make you, then
It has to be the crappy canned spinach. If you can power through a can of raw spinach, you’d probably be jacked
Lots, probably. Space Mutiny’s largest cultural contribution is “Jack McTruckHuge”.
BASEketball
I guess you’re right. Cock.
I swear if you call be bitch 15 or 16 more times, I’m going to leave!
It’s a symantical trap.
Any movie mentioned is being talked about.
what if it’s telepathically communicated
Beyond the capabilities of current Youtube tech.

“First, I wanna thank my sponsor WORLD OF TANKS!”
“Got some state secrets to leak but also got no friends? Leak them on World of Tanks to prove an insignificant point.”
Naaaahhhh thats War Thunder. World of Tanks is a whaling game.
Ah yes, right you are there friend, it is indeed War Thunder I’m thinking of. But enlighten me if you will, a whaling game?
It’s about time we taked about Death to Smoochy.
LOVE that movie.
- should be obvious they pad their vids for runtime (unsuccessfully boring)
- they need to cool it with the titles; we live in a post clickbait world
How is that post clickbait? Isn’t it the definition of clickbait?
Post clickbait as in we all know what theyre doing, and they know the audience knows what theyre doing
theres a chrome/firefox extension that fixes youtube clickbait titles and thumbnails called DeArrow, by the same dev as Sponsorblock, which unpads the vids.
DeArrow has improved my YouTube experience. I still switch it off for some channels I like (such as SiIvaGunner, for reasons that are obvious if you watch them.) It’s best when it has crowdsourced titles, which have actually made some videos more intriguing.
I saw a video thumbnail the other day that would normally be titled “Why Minecraft players built a real life supercomputer”, which is way too vague for me to be interested, but the crowdsourced title was “Minecrafters created a distributed computation network to find the tallest cactus,” and that made me very curious. I still didn’t click it because it was a 23 minute video, though.
I’m also very grateful I don’t have to see a lot of clickbait thumbnails. Some of them actively deter me from videos that might otherwise be interesting.
Sponsorblock, which unpads the vids.
Not sure if i’d say that Sponsorblock upads videos, or at least it only does so partially. It does remove in-video advertisement and selfpromotion, but it doesn’t (and can’t really) change anything if a video e.g. has content to fill like 3min, which gets drawn out to 10min.
I suspect, with almost 0 evidence, that the reason clickbait seems so effective is that there’s a large contingent of viewers that it works on. So when you try playing the game, you’ll see a surge in popularity. But such easily-won viewers are also easily lost if you don’t play the game well enough, or someone else does it better. So if you want to keep your numbers up, you have to play the game hard, but doing that can drive away the loyal viewers that would seek out your videos even if the algorithm stopped promoting them. You can’t measure your success through metrics alone.
In a way, if you play the game how YouTube wants you to play it (which is of course what makes them the most money,) you stop being an artist using YouTube as your platform and start being a worker for YouTube instead.
Grandma’s Boy
Hey, that movie is a cult classic! YOU WOULDN’T SAY THAT TO SOMEONE WITH ROBOT LEGS!
HOW CAN SHE SEE ME!?
i dont like techno
you would if you had robot ears
ADIOS… TURD NUGGETS
God dammit. I wasn’t planning on watching a movie today, but now I have to rewatch this.
The “guy who thinks he’s a robot” was insufferable. But I’ll always be fond of
“DRIVE, MONKEY! DRIIIIVE! WOOOOO!”
Someone should do one on Bugsy Malone. I’m assuming it’s already been done but hey, whatever.
So you wanna be a boxer…
“why (some OK movie from 20 years ago) is a masterpiece”
Cuz things now are shit and we realised we have peaked back then (I actually have no idea)
Cuz it’s a children’s movie and I loved the movie as a child but now I’m an adult and today’s children’s movies aren’t the same
“… and it’ll happen to you”
Truth. My nephew and his younger sister fucking love Good Burger and think Keenan is hilarious. Older kids movies actually are pretty damn good.
