The most unrealistic thing I remember from The Bubble was the fact no one would sleep with Pedro Pascal at one point in the film, and that made me laugh more than the actual film.
“Total amateur hour” That’s because… it is? It’s a low budget, amateur film. Why is the word “amateur” always used in such a negative way when it actual fact, even the greatest artists to have ever lived were amateurs at some point. Good to see you actually giving these people a fair chance!
The word amateur combined with its origin basically boils down to "one who does it for the love of it and not for a profession"- seeing people use it as an insult just hurts. I love amateurs, I love people who create because they love to create, people who are free to create without worrying about how much money they'll make from it. Everyone's an amateur at something, and I think more people should embrace it
@@emackenzie I was actually about to comment something like this. And to add to it, the word amateur is usually seen in a negative word in opposition to a professionist, someone who does something so well they no longer just do it as a passion (like an amateur) but as a career. I think it's kinda sad how we as a society see pursuing our passions as valuable only when we can profit off of them.
That’s a good point. “Evil Dead” was an amateur film. “Clerks” was an amateur film. George Lucas got his big break because his short student film “THX 1138” got made into a feature film. Amateurs can create great, iconic art if they have the vision and the talent.
Those comments about the lawns were literal cinema sins tier critique and I think this is a solid showcase of how media analysis is an actively uncommon skill.
it's so discouraging seeing amateur film makers create things that clearly have a lot of heart and care and creative ideas get torn down over the little bumps. How are we ever going to have the greats in hollywood if we rip them apart when they're just getting started??
I mean they're youtube comments, hardly a platform for elevated critique. Apart from lawns, at the heart of it they're saying to make the set look bad which is kind of the entire point of post-apocalypse movies. And even overgrown lawns exist at abandoned buildings, ghost towns or with greenscreens. You can make a good movie without this, but it's not surprising that youtube comments of all places state the obvious.
That song gives me major cult vibes and crippling anxiety 💀💀 like the world ended decades ago and we're living in some weird place where nothing makes sense...the melody the pacing and even the lyrics make it sound like some eerie "last resort" to make humanity care but it failed. i prefer not dwelling on it but everytime I remember it's existence my brain starts to hurt 😭 it's weird ik but I literally threw up after our teacher made us listen to it in hs
i can't believe pinely talked shit on my favorite movie The Bubble (2022). i'm a proud Bubbler and i will not let pinely talk shit about my favorite movie The Bubble (2022).
I honestly can't blame him, the bubble's (1974) reboot, the bubble (2022) is horrible, it has so many flaws, like not being the genuine masterpiece full of honesty that the bubble (1974) is, or just trying to reboot the creme de la maestrie that the bubble (1974) is!
the bit with orr's smiling face getting baked into a bread made me laugh really hard. impeccable use of stock footage, corona zombies director take notes
That one movie sounds so camp lmao. Two soft spoken girls in an apocalypse that doesn't look apocalyptic, and with shitty practical effects and the covid people literally glowing and red? Sign me up that sounds camp as hell man
I remember thinking “maybe we’ll get good art out of this, like how Shakespeare wrote some great stuff during the plagues” and then later realized yeah no let’s just pretend that never happened
ah exactly, like being in a happy loving relationship until the shit hits the fan, and you think "maybe this will bring us together, i can help him through this even if it's hard" but then he falsely accuses you of causing the problem. and starts stalking and threatening you and your elderly mother. not that this just happened to me or anything. but yes. ahem.
There could've been some really good think pieces about the inherent loneliness of mankind but no all the stuff that came out was just like "covid hard." The horror genre actually ended up with some pretty innovative things, though. Have you seen "Host"? Fantastic horror movie, takes place entirely over Zoom.
oh what's this? an excuse to avoid writing my essay? looks like I don't have any choice but to not write my essay edit: the Essay Of Terror has been completed
it's always fun to watch people tear up bad things that they don't like but man, i really really loved the ending of this video! the way you described the risotto episode actually made me emotional and honestly it's really cool in general to hear you talk about great stuff you genuinely enjoy!
i like how pinely thought that the teenager movie had the budget for multiple cars and not just that the teenagers had access to their parents and friends cars 😭
Friendly reminder that following Christmas global cases have risen, there are new variants that mean if you didn’t get the booster last year you are essentially unvaccinated, and long Covid is not a joke. Please stay safe, and look after immunocompromised community members.
You understand that annual viral transmission increases have always been a thing, right? I'm not going to not go outside because Martha Stewart might get the cold. R3t4rd.
its hard to describe, but quite a few shots from 'after the pandemic' have a solid "1970s indie film" vibe, both in the colors and the composition. i really like it!
The best Covid movie is Contagion, and that came out *before* Covid hit I know that's cheating, but still, it's kind of insane how well that movie holds up.
When everyone was watching Contagion at the start of Covid, my aunt wanted to watch it too, but she got confused to watched Parasite, no joke. She watched the whole thing wondering when the pandemic was gonna hit. I had forgotten about it until I saw you mention Contagion.
So the whole "taking an unrelated movie, dubbing it over and shooting a couple of new shots" thing was apparently very common in the 80's, but I am pretty shocked they made one of those in this day and age. Full Moon Pictures do seem to enjoy recycling a lot of footage in their films, but at least in my experience its been footage from their own movies, so this is wild
I was thinking of Kung Pow the whole time, and was expecting him to bring it up. But the fact they reuse footage from their own movies for parody dubs is honestly next level
It's just the universes algorithm bringing you related topics, also known as a coincidence. But hey maybe coincidences happen for a reason, I'm not gonna pretend to know.
covid has really shown who is just an awful person, but to your point, it also shows who truly cares for their community and getting through something like this is really so much easier knowing you aren't alone. also if ur in the US we're in the second worst wave of covid so wear a mask and protect your community
Imagine rotting away in a PC chair of various respiratory and circulatory failures due to bad diet and inactivity paired with general hysteric psychosis and social isolation because you're afraid of the 0.02% chance you'll get sniffles
I hate people who refuse to wear a mask. "I would rather kill millions of people than wear a piece of cloth on my face." Wow. You're so cool, dude. Now, please stop coughing on those elders.
You mean the Masks that ultimately did little if anything to stop the spread of it? The primary way it was actually spread was touching things like door handles of people who were infected. Congrats, you quadrupled layered your masks, but you got it anyway from touching a freezer door at the local Walmart. Those masks did nothing but give you a false sense of security and self importance. Just like all the people who had ego trips when they got designated as Essential workers.
And yet these people have no problem wearing shirts and shoes inside stores to keep themselves and others safe from their nasty selves. I mean, most of them have no problem with shoes.
that’s what pisses me off. across the political and class and any spectrum, people just think it’s too damn inconvenient…and i’m like who cares if you even save one life from preventing transmission!!! even if you only mask when you are personally sick, it’s better than nothing!! people now will KNOW they have covid and still not mask. i can’t imagine being that selfish. in nyc on these crowded subways, out of 40 people in one car i usually see 3-4 people wearing masks, including myself. sometimes no one but me is. and i just feel so crestfallen because i knew people were selfish, but i didn’t know they were this selfish. or maybe they are just putting it out of their minds and choosing not to think about it at all. idk, it’s got me sad.
The 1900s: Love in a Time of Cholera The 2000s: The Bubble, Corona Zombies, that one weird German Christian film But hey, After The Pandemic kinda ate.
I love how great a relationship pinely has with his brother. I never had a good of a relationship with my sibling so even though I envy his little brother, I'll try to Freudenfreude for them instead of Schadenfreude
“Keegan-Michael Key is in this as a cult leader. Make him sacrifice a human being via Zoom”. You made a better and more fitting joke for this movie that would’ve been hilarious with Key, than anybody who worked on that movie ever could
Man........I watched The Bubble! And completely forgot about it! I didn't realize that I had even watched it until you started talking about the plot more at length. D:
adore your videos SO much dude, i love how this one ended too. id love to see how you react to Leo the Lion (2014) but thats only if you want to and like acid trip animated movies x3
When I saw the John Wilson title card and heard his voice I immediately smiled, even tho I didn't know why he was being brought up here yet. I'm so happy to see him get the love and he really is such a palette cleanser to this whole entire topic I agree. For me, I was going thru some particularly hard emotional stuff right before and during covid times (completely irrelevant to covid itself). But I have a really good friend who spent a lot of time with me, ultimately just being there and hanging out. We went thru a lot of shows and movies specifically, mostly us sharing things we love to the other and having discussions about it. We share interests, but we haven't seen a lot of the same media, so it works out wonderfully. Most of the discussions and shares were great, but even when we didn't agree in the end we still both enjoyed the attempt. I remember when he showed me the start of the John Wilson show and I wasn't sure, I was really skeptical. To me at first I thought it was someone being sarcastic about their ideal city life yet acting like they're not --- but it's really not that at all. He has such a wholesome yet realistic view on his surroundings and his topics are just so very insightful. It's very honest yet kind. His editing is so good too, how he highlights his narration through visuals is really impressive. I'm fond of the memories of not only watching this series, but also the time we'd spend afterwards evaluating the subjects, and the clever editing he used throughout. Really and underrated gem of a show, thank you for bringing it up I'm going to rewatch it now.
I think it’s really neat that you enjoy using the sponsored product and not at all concerning that people have to trick their mind into enjoying drinking normal water.
i love the switch out at the end where you decide to talk about something you enjoy! because as much as we all love watching absolute trash (im a connoisseur myself) it's always good to balance it out with something that brings us joy or is just all in earnest good film
I also have never heard the phrase limitation leads to creativity!!! But also- I feel like I can see it. Like, when your choices are limited, it’s easier to make a creative decision. It can decrease the overwhelm in some ways. But also, reality is already a huge limit imo
@@JoyTheDorko It's usually more about how having limitations can force you to find creative ways to work around them, and how some of the greatest ideas and solutions would never have happened without those limitations. See early video games : how Silent Hill worked around the short render distance by making heavy fog part of the game world and atmosphere, or the gibberish voice acting of many games like Banjo Kazooie. In movies, take a look at creators like Méliès.
hey i just want you to know that the "your head superimposed over bread" bit was the dumbest thing i've seen this week and it made me laugh a lot great work keep it up
I watched the bubble a few years ago with my family and I have never hoped so badly that an entire cast of characters would be killed off in a horrible helicopter crash
In quebec we had a series come out about a corona virus epidemic. It came out in 2020, filmed before we even knew about all this. Weirdest coincidence except it was a spice instead of bleach people used. It was good its called épidemie or outbreak
I remember them shooting a scene in a house not too far from where I live in fall 2019 and thinking how dumb the premise for this show was. After all, why make a TV series in Quebec about something as random and silly as an major epidemic outbreak? Boy, if I could go back in time, I'd probably tell past me to shut up.
i stumbled across corona zombies some time ago and i genuinely thought i was the only person on earth who saw it. what an interesting experience that was, id describe it as a movie collage
I'm sad that RU-vid decides to never tell me when Pinely posts, but it's always nice to have like 4 or 5 Pinely videos to binge every few months whenever it decides to remind me that you exist. Love ya Pinely.
these videos have the vibe of being in a discord call with a pal because they wanna vent about the horrible movie they just watched and are obsessed with. (this is a compliment)
seeing air up as the sponsor, i watched throughout the vid for their ridiculous asks for sponsorships like having to have it in frame 3 separate times for a total amount of time during the video runtime lol
Thank you for apologizing to the BUBBLE NATION, Pinely. As a BUBBLEGUM myself I acknowledge that THE BUBBLE had a lot of potential if only it went through some rewriting.
It's so inspiring that despite all of the hardships and chaos caused by the pandemic, that didn't stop Judd Apatow from seizing on another opportunity to cast his wife and daughter in a shitty movie that no one liked
Fun fact! I'm in the late stages of directing/producing my own 40min Corona short-film! It's a coming of age/adventure story about Veronica, a girl who starts studying in Delft, Netherlands (an infamously fun student city) months before the pandemic starts. It captures my/my generation's experience of being coronastudents while also showing off Dutch student culture in an engaging way. It's called Quarantine Crush, comes out on my channel in March :))
Well in Sweden we had only one movie Glaciär about the only two people in a quarantine hotel during a lockdown (Sweden NEVER had lockdown during the first two years of the ongoing pandemic, nor quarantine hotels).The irony is that they could not film anything on the street level as people were NOT lockdowned but behaving as prior to the pandemic as our authorities fooled the Swedish people to get infected to quickly get rid of the pandemic so that everything could get back to normal sacrificing 27 000 + lives so far and countless hundred thousands long term health. Sometimes they fillmed on the roof tops of the hotel but avoided showing the pandemic madness of not locking down and not wearing masks and overcrowded "as usual" streets. It was and is horrible to live in this denial. Anyway sometimes they actually filmed so that you could see the streets and you could see a busy street by mistake. Sweden a real hell hole of lies ,lies and F-king lies.
Sweden has been really horrible with handling the still ongoing pandemic, same for the Netherlands. the way that people really think we had any sort of proper "lockdown" (or other good safety measures like masks) is just laughable. the "herd immunity" lie is also sooo bad and unscientific, like are we still in medieval Europe to believe this??
"Coronavirus that started from an accieent in a canned soup company that turns people into zombies? Hell yeah that sounds dope" And then I heared you describe the 'movie'. Tears in my eyes at the wasted potential
The point of this movie is to slap the public in the face. Whilst we were told to stay home, many places lost their businesses, these elite jerks are all together HUGE CAST together making a movie so they can still make money while we all lose
Yep. And terrified mouth breathers (mask breathers?) will yell you this is the way. Don't question anything. No observations allowed. You have to rot away in your house and live in fear.
18:27 was looking away and thot I hear you say "they're both white and soft-spoken" and almost didn't doubt it or rewind to check cuz when I looked up to visually confirm what I'd heard, the statement was proven true 💀
