>*Gen Xers
You know how Millennials overdosed on irony? Gen Xers overdosed on cynicism. Many are still poisoned to this day, while the few who managed to shake it off are doing better than ever. (Who would have ever predicted fricking Steve-O would turn into a bearable human being?)
The worst thing about space cop is knowing they made an intentionally shitty movie because they knew an honest effort would suck shit. The biggest offense however is that space cop isn't even fricking funny. It's just a colossal waste of time
>they made an intentionally shitty movie
After years of saying intentionally shitty movies are just shitty. They don't have the confidence (talent?) to make a 'serious' movie. They tried with The Recovered and failed miserably. And what's funny is Len has actually become a better filmmaker than them while working with FAR less money.
They said in their commentary track that they were baffled by people saying this. Jay claimed they didn't make it bad on purpose, but it sounded like they were coping
I love to watch everything that lead up to those movies just because you can see how Doug missed the mark of why his shitty AVGN faceoff videos were popular. and went from some stupid collab where they would record each other throwing fake punches with a shitty SFX to a serious attempt to make something deep and meaningful.
Their first anniversary special was just that, a really stupid giant brawl their fans loved it because of the novelty of watching them together, then Kickassia came along, then Suburban Knights and finally To Boldly Flee
Being able to identify what is a compelling story, what is good cinematography, what is good acting etc. does not lend itself to possessing the skills required to produce those things. A majority of people can identify a good film. But most people simply cannot write, cannot direct, cannot act. They don’t have the knowledge, knack, passion or interest required to excel in those fields. Most people can come to terms with that, they try it once, realize they’re bad or that they don’t like it and say “not for me.” I imagine for picrel the creators lack that self-awareness when it comes to their own creative shortcomings.
Alternatively, when films go to a production company they’re looked over by interns and assistants who essentially grade the script on a scale of “worth producing” to “hard pass.” You’d be amazed how many terrible scripts cross a production company’s desk every week for every one a company decides to develop (which isn’t even a guarantee it’ll get made) 50 are straight up passed on without a second glance. If picrel was a project the creator funded and developed himself, he likely never had that layer of quality control where a third party looks at his work and goes “man this is really bad, pass.” Which would’ve prompted him to rewrite.
critics can make good movies though
RLM like cheap looking garbage because theyre cynical midwesterners

This, I swear they’ve even ranted about how intentionally bad films suck, and not in a good way.
Stoklasa's ad libs in it are just fricking atrocious.
There's a torrent with the commentary out there, that's how i saw it.

But they didn't this is an invention of autists. The movie was just an awful low budget comedy.

Sure sounds like someones coping alright.
Because movie making as a complex and very expensive venture that requires more skills than just imagining a great film in your head.
I just want to watch Space Cop with the directors commentary but I don't want to pay my friends any money bros....
Of course they can
I hate everyone involved in these films but I love them for how moronic they are.

There's a running gif for these when WW84 came out.
AVGN Movie > Space Cop > Kickassia

basically: everyone knows what a horse should look like. very few people can draw horse that looks good.
Erhm... You're wrong though???
Are there any public commentary tracks for this? It might be fun to watch it with Linkara explaining his genius.
NASTY wienerbawd
Newt has talked a lot of shit about movies other youtubers have made, so you know he's going to deliver with his movie.
