Half in the Bag Episode 120: 2016 Movie Catch-up 

It checks out, but don't ever say it again.

Technically every person born is a failed abortion

😆

@@thesaltmerchant4564 abortions can't be failed if they were never attempted in the first place

@@antipsychotic451 the failure lies in the absence of an attempt

They threaten to not feed Rich if he doesn't come along for every new Star Wars movie.

+Joe Jr. Wait...do they OWN rich or something? :/

Fools! Rich Evans is an idea. It can't be owned.

I'm conflicted; I love this comment, but I don't want to like this comment because it's stuck at 777.

@Graham Wade 37:21 is confirmation of this.

You saying he spilled his beans?

Fahts

nivlek95 Don't worry, I won't.

***** Eeeeeeeeeeey!

NOR WOULD THEY CARE! :D

Max Arlestig i know right. It's fucking confusing

The one that is is susan is not mike.

RU-vid started in 2005, for you to have been laughing at the comments section for seventeen years you'd have had to have broken temporal reality.

Flavourless Josephus 12 years?

Max Arlestig mike? Happy noooooooo

It’s like watching the beginnings of Kubrick

And his next film will be named The Northman! Seemingly another period piece: "Viking revenge saga set in Iceland at the turn of the 10th century." I can't wait!

@Cynical Frenchface definitely not, there are others who were wrong as you were when it came out, but it’s now rightfully cemented as a modern horror classic.

@Cynical Frenchface aside from the technical aspect(which was objectively Well done) what makes a good horror movie is pretty subjective. I love the time piece and the whole concept of recreating a puritan fable but I can see why a lot of people wouldnt really care much for it

@Cynical Frenchface the script is one of the best parts tho, its meant to be disjointed, its meant to be like a scare story puritan moms would tell their kids to make them behave, sort of like a dark fairy tale. And thats also the whole point of thomasin, as a puritan girl she doesnt have agency. She was about to get sold ib exchange for some cows lol. Her whole character arc is getting that agency, breaking away from her family, becoming her own person. Leaving the pure but restricted stage of being a kid into the edgy world of being a teenager/young adult.

Brutal takedown of ‘people.’ How will they recover?

I liked Neon Demon a lot but I felt Mikes eye roll so much after that line.

suncu91 everyone is entitled to their own ppinion

underrated comment

Yeah, saved me a lot of time also.

Whatever your thoughts are, that's my opinion, too!

No I don't even have to watch these movies. Like I don't watch any other movies and watch their show anyway like a pathetic excuse for a human being that I am.

You da real MVP

The most important timecode is 49:41 thank you

I love you

Literally goes to comment section looking for this. you're a saint

In the case of the Brothers Grimsby, good 👍

Thinking about all the books that go unread gives me that feeling too.

Its not bromance, its an all the way romance. When will the sheeple wake up to the truth??!!!11

@@juliacassiano4499 they do wear each other’s clothes

I'd like to meet a girl one day, that laughs at my jokes like Jay laughs at Mike's

@@whiteobama3032 But one is actually funny and the other isn't.

He really did lol

I didn't like the witch. The music was more annoying than atmosphere inducing. It surprises me that my friends said "if you loved It Follows (which I do) you will love the witch." I didn't like it, i wasn't scared, I didn't care about the characters.

​@@TheCoffeeNut711 have you revisited it since first watching?

Jacob H Don't worry they got enough hack fraud cash to buy themselves beer IVs. Now Mike doesn't even need to move to get hammered.

“I’d beat up James Franco if he was my kid too.”

It's the one that's got a big old case of the not-Jays.

He is not Susan.

It's okay, it's easy to mix up your Mikes and your Jays.

Mike's the bald one.

It started on a merch update. It should pop up if you search it on their channel.

53 minutes and 35 seconds... Don't sell yourself short

Correction: WE have friends...;)

Best 53 minutes of my life.

don't forget the greasy strangler!

Oh yeah, my bad

ahaha nah its all good, just another weird pick of his

Also interesting to note that out of all these movies, apparently, I found the one about a man covered in grease murdering people the most forgettable. Seriously, what is it with this year.

Reip187 I loved the Neon Demon (helped that I was in a dark room with a great headset for sound because this film is all about aesthetics) but it is a film you should never recommend to anyone because they won't look at you the same ever again

I was thinking the same exact thing.

CrazyToastMan That's what she said!

me too

I'm extremely disappointed neither of these fucking HACKS saw Hacksaw. (Ridge)

Austin Gremminger I would Die if I saw it.

Andy serkis is making it for Netflix or some other streaming service

Didn't they already made one in the 50s?

If Walt was involved they would've swapped communists for jews.

As soon as Mike said it, I thought, "That's going to happen." Animal Farm as a funny Pixar cartoon where Communism works perfectly? It'll gross $1B in China alone.

George Lucas No guys, it's Bret Ratner

funkoxen And the Palmer girl?

you can tell by the poetry

Every scene is SO dense.

They didnt technically direct it. They just said action and cut when the other guy forgot.

It’s wonderful

Watched it and didnt laugh once :(

Gosling was hilarious!

More power to you.

bawk BAAAAWWWWWW

haahahahahahaaha same

She's been in politics for the past 30 years, though.

It's like Mulder and Scully but with ghosts instead of aliens.

2ndfunctionFTW IS SACHA BARON COHEN REPLACING MIKE STOKLASA

IS THAT A QUESTION

it's been a set the whole time ya dungus

My impression is that this is kind of a behind the scenes, self aware interlude before Rogue One. It's meta.

Same for me, I was excited for that movie since I saw the trailer and usually when I wait that long for a movie I'm disappointed, but with this one it BLEW me away. Solid movie.

I never got a chance to see it when it came out- it's the first time in a while that the trailer for a comedy actually made me laugh out loud. Now that the hack frauds have praised it, I'll definitely be getting it as a Christmas present for myself since I don't have anybody in my life who loves me enough to buy me things.

guantanamo bae I love ya buddy!

it was pretty dull but the ending was hilarious

+Jay Pickard not nearly as hard as he was during the greasy strangler

who would have thought Ralph from WreckItRalph was a Pervert !

***** was referring to his sense of abstract and his taste in art house. but that too is undeniable.

WreckItRalph I've been lead to both good and terrible from him. With arthouse you get either something interesting, or absolute pretentiousness. It's a 50/50 sometimes I get something good like the VVitch, others I get trash like Neon Demon

I think "Art", by definition kind of works like that. No two people see the exact same painting.

It's actually a pretty good little movie, different from most stuff that comes out anyway.

It was if Reservoir Dogs was mixed with True Romance yet taken far less seriously.

LyleVSXyle It's a fun movie, people seem to hate on anything Landis does but I think he's really good.

***** He doesn't make movies though he writes scripts? But because he's in the public eye he's judged far more harshly than other writers.

***** The fact you think John Landis has that sort of pull in hollywood is ridiculous tbh so i'm done here. Multiple production companies wouldn't be bidding on his scripts because of John Landis that's insane.

i quite enjoy this comment in retrospect

I’ll add further retrospective emotion to this comment chain with a solid “oof”

Elaborate

@@free_spirit1 That's the worst Dalek impression I've ever heard.

oh boi

TJ Hastie What's the movie though?

Kolpe Keenan I'm guessing Sausage party.

Strange Mercy tho

Yeah, which movie?

Guardians Vol 2.

Howard the duck 2?

VVVV guardians of the galaxy ftw

I would watch that

VVVV Actually that would be 2bil.

scockery * vvitch

Standup and sketch also usually doesn't translate well into a 2 hour script.

no they are just getting bigger

Well Mike certainly is

Symbolism!

Rey Chavarria Jr. it was hilarious me and my buds could not stop laughing at the twist had a lot fun unintentionally

What? Quentin's best is his first. Reservoir Dogs is his peak; Tim Roth was phenomenal.

Dr StrangeLove Pulp Fiction is my personal favorite from him, but I can't disagree with you that Reservoir Dogs is a great movie!

I'd say Pulp was his best. And I liked True Romance better than Dogs. But he is still making great films. Django, Inglorious Bastards, and Hateful 8 are all really entertaining.

Couldn't stand the last hour of Django, and I didn't think very highly of Hateful 8--it was a barely average film. Inglorious, I have a lot of Love for, though. I adore Pulp Fiction, but I have Reservoir just a smidgen higher than it, if only because of how incredible Tim Roth and Michael Madsen are in it.

the only sad thing is that there was going to be an additional, more elaborate scene with Black Phillip but they didn't do it for logistical reasons (seemed like the goat didn't get along with the actors very well)

These schlock auteurs are just GOLD MINES! THE IDEAS!

C'mon, you'd watch it.

Well yeah. Two old people trying to kill each other sounds pretty swell. Doubtlessly

There is a movie called "Folks" and the second part of the movie is a son setting up scenarios where his parents can die.

The Lighthouse then

actuallly he did say ''i might not fully understand it, but im not gonna pretend that i do''. So thats a bit different.

The Jordan Peterson movie?

Jay compared it to the shining and the general public did not like that movie when it came out

Which is really weird to me. Everyone loves it now, but at the time it got a lot of Razzie nominations and everyone said Kubrick had lost his touch.

Michael Corkrean good point

It's good, certainly one of the more original films out there, but I'm not sure I'd give it as much high praise as Jay.

Tyler Bioshock R I'm a huge Kubrick fan, but the Shining is actually one of my least favorite films of his. The cinematography and musical score are great, but the performances of Jack Nicholson (more goofy than scary) and Shelly Duvall (whiny and annoying) really bring it down for me.

Isn't it 'Guild of Calamitous Intent' you fucking hack fraud

RU-vid would not allow the full name of our glorious guild. I have sent a phalanx of no less than 3, no more than 5 men to dispatch the insurgents.

We always knew that

Same thing.

Soren Sorensen ...Okay. That's... good to know... I guess.

[Ids5621-Retro] that's a lot of gay

Welcome to my World !

Overrated as hell. It was a (pretty good) that a lot of people missed. But it wasn't excellent on any level.

Incorrect. It was an excellent film.

I thought all the practical effects and good acting with the small town setting were great.. it was an action movie up for best picture

@@adamcheek2244 That's incorrect. Opinions can't be incorrect or correct.

@@Largentina. Incorrect.

I thought the same thing when I got to that part! Malignant is so over the top schlock that I really enjoyed.

Yep, Mr. Plinkett's reviews of the prequels are also fantastic.
