what's a video essay?
Streamed Ted Talk LARPs
i like the ted talks that are stories about people's lives. is that bad?
You don't need me to tell you what you can like.
but i browse Cinemaphile and that is the no1 criteria for being here...
the worst are the ones who start off with some completely pointless backstory/setup
>video essay on the shining
>spend 15 minutes explaining what "horror movies" and "books" are
>catnip for midwits
no wonder you're obsessed with them
>bed time
>12 hour analysis of The Matrix
Yep, its kino time
>mfw zoomers think I feel any obligation to watch random morons on youtube
Imagine not watching teens nearly half your age make 3 hour analysis videos of the godfather in which read the wiki synopsis & a top reddit comment to you
this. the same goes for reaction videos and livestreams
A video essay is literally just a normal essay that gets read aloud and obviously has a video edited to match up with it.
If you hate video essays you pretty much just hate essays.
And essays are basically just longer more complex and analytical opinions.
>essays are basically just longer more complex and analytical opinions
Longer than what, my own thoughts and opinions? Pfft, yours maybe.
Nobody cares about them more than PC police morons. I’ve heard of Critical Drinker though I’ve never watched a video, but I’ve only heard of him from libtards endlessly posting shit because I guess they’re trying to take him down.
Why are you homosexuals so disingenuous? I'm a libtard and I don't follow any of those homosexuals, let alone bother to post a "NEW OPINION JUST DROPPED!" thread the instant they post a new video. It's literally always been you gays egging each other on into endless rage bait and circlejerk threads. The only time I ever mention any of the dozens of homosexuals you follow is to call you and them morons, because you invariably bring them up in every fricking thread. That's why twitter (or X or whatever the frick that other moron is running into the ground this week is calling it) and youtube threads need to bannable on Cinemaphile.
>Not me, I'm not like those OTHER libtards.
Tale as old as time.
Those other libtards don't even exist, moron.
Announcing reports is a bannable offense.
Reported for homophobia and hate speech.
The problem is that video essays are often of much worse quality than the average normal essay. It’s like an essay for people who are too ADHD or dumb to read a real essay.
I like the idea of video essays because I'm not very smart and watching somebody explain the philosophical influences or metaphors to something I know nothing about is interesting but almost all the ones I've seen seem to be made by or for people even stupider than me. For example I wanted to watch one on The Matrix because I love that movie and I know it has a lot of references to all sorts of interesting spiritual and philosophy influences but the video was just a half hour of explaining Neo's character arc like I'm too moronic not to understand the whole crux of the film. You're better off just watching interviews and behind the scenes stuff.
Bet you're watching a video essay right now.
I very much agree. An easy solution is to not watch video essays.
>he's still seething about the blood meridian thread a month later
lmao
>catnip for midwits
but video essays aren't politics
>"Normal movie with simple ending and nothing complicated whatsoever"
>ENDING EXPLAINED
>30 minutes
>basically just recaps the whole movie
if someone watches ted talks they are beyond saving
I never watch them but they make disneyshills seethe with white hot HRT fueled anger so they're ok in my book
>y-you only hate our mouseslop because [insert disneyshill youtube scapegoat of the month] told you to!!
t. every disneyshill ever
>I fricking hate video essays. They're a waste of time and basically just catnip for midwits
They're instrumental in shaping the minds of midwits. Zoomers do not watch movies they just watch this shit because they are subhuman cretins who don't even give an effort for fricking media consumption much less finding a job and functioning in the adult world which will be soon enough and society will be even more shit because of that.
