their oppenheimer review sucked so much bro, mike tries to make fun of the audience but he basically wants the movie to be the most boring and generic version of itself, i still think they're funny but it's like they forgot how movies work
>it’s been 12 years
Well, they shat on Boyhood for having the same build up time and what do they have to compare against that Oscar winning phenomenom?
Kind of crazy that Jay kept jumping around intercepting the slaps with his face, some say it was out of protection for Jessie but others said he had to rush to the bathroom immediatly.
Having faves is normal. No one is really insufferable though, even AIDSmoby and Beardfat as bad as they can be still rank above the lions share of movie reviewers out there.
I understand them selling out means they won't shit on mainstream movies anymore and will in fact praise the rare ones they review, but that doesn't explain why they've gotten so boring in general. BotW was their best series for years and now it's a fricking slog most of the time and Mike's random virtue signal rants don't help either.
>cant make that joke >everyone walk on eggshells >we cant talk about this >make sure to joke about that in that way and not the other way
Yeah it's a real mystery.
maybe unpopular opinion but I actually don't mind Doug. And I very specifically mean Doug. I really don't care for his NC persona and his content as the NC, but all the stuff where it's just him talking to the camera is actually pretty ok to listen to, even if I don't agree with a lot of what he says.
4-5 years ago I noticed Mike starting to ramble instead of having any real punchy jokes to the extent of others on camera clearly getting uncomfortable. Rich is fine, Jay's grown on me in Mike's vacuum, like the canucks but mike falling off really hurt their brand.
For years now, they've avoided doing timely HITBs for movies people want them to review, particularly big Hollywood trash movies because one of the things that made RLM popular was ripping apart bad George Lucas films. Now they aren't even likely to do a HITB for most big releases, Mike is so mind broken by the industry that since at least Jurassic World he's had his brain fully turned off and just wants to enjoy schlock, and Jay goes out of his way to attack the audience backlash for bad movies for good goy points. re:View is still good though.
No, you shill your stupid arse youtube channel that hasn't been cool in like 10 years on a board that does not give a frick about you and pretend you're better than the hottest new thing on earth.
You're even more out of touch than the hollywood wankers you talk about. Because at least when I point them in the direction of the biggest anime since Akira, they listen.
But the REAL Irony is it's about the relationship between fans and entertainers in the new reality of social media and the internet. The very thing you are trying, AND FAILING, to remain relevant in.
So actually I retract my reccy. You're not cool enough for this. But I maintain that you should stop gayging up Cinemaphile with your shameless self promotion. Go be irrelevant somewhere else you fricking hasbeen.
it became clear that mike and rich are actually fricking moronic and only consume slop
jay at least seems like he appreciates film as an art form but he's happy to just phone it in and talk about slop with mike
the HitB "let's read online reviews from morons and make fun of them" skit is idubbz-tier and I don't mean it as a compliment, obviously used as a shitty time-filler because they have nothing else
The Oppenhaimer review had 20 minutes of "hollywood and streaming services" discussion where nothing remotely interesting or insightful was said, I hear better takes when we shit-talk among coworkers during lunch break, it was honestly painful
I'm pretty sick of the way their reaction to a film is colored by how they recognized stock sounds that they know because of "being film makers" and trawling those libraries themselves for years. Every film uses those sounds and there's no problem because they're mixed in, unless you think you're super cool for isolating them. There's people taking mario 64 textures and locating them in 90s graphics libraries, because of how much they love the game - those people aren't saying the game sucks because of it. That would be oafish and clearly pathetic
>love
you poor soul
I never did
Nothing for "letter" really? I don't think you should be calling others an anythingwit, you clearly lack any.
e-celeb thread
Wrong. I like them more as you like them less. I'm making up for all your dislike with my like.
I still like them. I wish they would start writing skits again.
They ruined my trust with the paper list episodes, and then that fricking cartoon. I'm seeing red. And I'm not talking about the name!
I still like them. They've perfected the art of 80-20 real vs scripted convo.
I don't have high expectations and enjoy slopkino from scam artists.

I can't abandon my friends like that
Are you zoomies STILL mad about the prequel reviews? Let it go you dumb fricking troony lmao
Can’t believe it’s been 12 years since they went mainstream.
It’s time for them to die
>it’s been 12 years
Well, they shat on Boyhood for having the same build up time and what do they have to compare against that Oscar winning phenomenom?
>boyhood was a good movie
lmao so at the peak of your rage that's the best you can come up with
how bad do you think they seethed when tom cruise went on popcorn in bed lmao
Mike slapped his long suffering wife around a bit but other than that they didn't much
Kind of crazy that Jay kept jumping around intercepting the slaps with his face, some say it was out of protection for Jessie but others said he had to rush to the bathroom immediatly.
i do!
I'm new to RLM stuff
Is it normal that I find Mike and Rich very easy to like and everybody else fricking insufferable
Having faves is normal. No one is really insufferable though, even AIDSmoby and Beardfat as bad as they can be still rank above the lions share of movie reviewers out there.
Imagine being a grown man and saying "faves"
Yeppers.
Faves has fallen? BRB gotta go listen to my Linkin Park mixtape in my pinto.
Yeah, Jay is eternally lukewarm and everyone else is peaks and valleys. Mike and Rich always have at least one great moment.
OP and RLM, sitting in a tree, k i s s I n g.
>you are here forever
They're tired
I never fricking did.
When is Jessie coming back?
I saw a thread about them a few weeks ago and checked them out. They've got some funny moments.
>sell out
>become boring
Why does this always happen?
Gen X and their desire to be seen as "legit" by Ma an' Pa is overhwelming, it's amazing these guys lasted as long as they did.
I understand them selling out means they won't shit on mainstream movies anymore and will in fact praise the rare ones they review, but that doesn't explain why they've gotten so boring in general. BotW was their best series for years and now it's a fricking slog most of the time and Mike's random virtue signal rants don't help either.

>we cant talk about this
>make sure to joke about that in that way and not the other way
Yeah it's a real mystery.
>B-B-BECAUSE I SAID SO!!!!!!!
lmao
selfie cam your tears gay i want to see them
I always prefer the nostalgia critic.
maybe unpopular opinion but I actually don't mind Doug. And I very specifically mean Doug. I really don't care for his NC persona and his content as the NC, but all the stuff where it's just him talking to the camera is actually pretty ok to listen to, even if I don't agree with a lot of what he says.
Why?
They betrayed us
They’re hilarious and the source of many great memes “My computer’s better than your computer haha”
I love them
They haven’t been good in a long time. Mike Stoklasa especially has become insufferable.
4-5 years ago I noticed Mike starting to ramble instead of having any real punchy jokes to the extent of others on camera clearly getting uncomfortable. Rich is fine, Jay's grown on me in Mike's vacuum, like the canucks but mike falling off really hurt their brand.
They're only good when doing Best of the Worst

Stop gayging up Cinemaphile with your blatant self-promotion and watch Oshi No Ko so you can actually be relevant again.
DUDE I WATCH MANGA ADAPTATIONS IN 2023 ISNT THAT QUIRKY AND TOTALLY A REAL SUBSTITUTION FOR HAVING A PERSONALITY
No, you shill your stupid arse youtube channel that hasn't been cool in like 10 years on a board that does not give a frick about you and pretend you're better than the hottest new thing on earth.

k
>mike pulls out a list of his notes
Are the rumors actually true?
2 more weeks and Mike's court documents are being unsealed.
I enjoy getting drunk and watching best of the worst
it became clear that mike and rich are actually fricking moronic and only consume slop
jay at least seems like he appreciates film as an art form but he's happy to just phone it in and talk about slop with mike
Their tastes have become deranged, and their self importance and ego skyrocket. They are definitely on the funny stuff.
Or?
Love em. Can't wait for the next best of the worst.

BOTW was great but at this point feels stale
it's over
Their editing used to be the best because they just left in the good stuff, now every video feels like a first pass.

Same. I really don't give a shit anymore. Feels like they're really afraid to speak freely, now that they made it big.
I've felt that way too. I thought I was just being schizo, but it does seem like they're running on a different set of protocols now.
