If anyone's wondering, this episode was never banned, they just never uploaded the complete Episode to RU-vid. It was on their blip page instead. The only thing they did upload was the Movie 43 segment.
@@andrewlawless9796 probably thought it was redundant since the Movie 43 segment was already uploaded and forgot they didn't upload the Warm Bodies segment.
Actually they uploaded both originally, but the warm bodies review got taken down by a copyright, so they just re-uploaded the movie 43 segment instead
thanks for uploading. Warm Bodies was one of the handful of movies I watched during the middle of my heroin spree and it actually touched me a little bit. but then again i was high as fuck
"Once youve given up holding on to your humanity as a zombie you turn into an evil undead skeleton thing" *Warm Bodies confirmed as Dark Souls prequel*
Pretty disappointed they didnt point out how fucked up it is that he killed her boyfriend and then she fell in love with him, especially after he admits it
"What twilight clone will they do next? A mummy movie?" Nah, it won't be for teenage girls, it'll be called "Milf" Cleopatra was supposed to be hot back in the day.
Zombies are either supernatural or scientific, so love conquering zombisation puts it into supernatural. I ain't ever watching this movie but to me that's a justification.
This movie warm bodies looks like it could be so much more if it was intelligently made. I'd love to watch a movie about a guy forced to live as a zombie with only a semblance of humanity to hold onto. I'd want to experience him dealing with that. And no a simple "aunt Alicia" scene doesn't count. I want to dive into that experience
I didn't know that. well, sometimes i like to see salvage train wrecks. I would argue that any film with zombies today would have an 90% change of suckage. i mean the curse of zombies is that the only form allowed to exist in film is 50 years old and not terribly interesting. I like the the original 3 romero films but he created a star wars world (not a star trek/dc/ or marvel world) meaning he made a really small concept that works for a couple of films but cannot hold up as a genre. vampires have been in mythology long before Dracula and you can do a lot with the character. the alien creature is even more recent than modern zombies, but Ridley Scott created something that was mysterious and full of potential--so you could add to it. zombies are really boring without some kind of creative addition, but you can't do that because people won't like change.
James Moseley Not a movie but you may want to read Breathers by SG Browne. It's about a zombie who attends a support group and lives with his parents because Zombies aren't allowed to be unsupervised.
Maybe it is that the bonezies are threatened by the zombie finding somewhat of a cure through love as it means that they made the wrong choice in letting go of their humanity and letting themselves become completely destructive asshole bone guys. If he could ever become fully human again, or enough to live a somewhat normal life then he will become a symbol of hope for the other zombies as well. Which means less bonezies will get created and they'll eventually be all killed off. I think love being the cure is super cute! I find love has always been a cure to a feeling of depression and a loss of hope. Watching guys try to work out a romance is hilarious in a way. They are so dumb lol
I think this is the ONLY review where I disagree with both jay and mike. Warm Bodies was an allegory about how disconnected many people have become from one another, and how that causes a numbing depression leading to even more disconnection. The "bonies" can be taken as a representation of internet trolls or incels; hateful and too far gone to save.The guys are taking this one way too literally. It was a very sweet, funny film. (And I am an adult who hates Twilight with a fiery passion.)
@panzerfk0626 Pardon my phrasing. They didn't represent the totality of one group; they represented the people from any hate-based group that are "too far gone to save." Those people do exist, unfortunately. But I didn't mean that ALL members of any one demographic were doomed to be hateful forever.
I feel like they're trying really hard to dislike Warm Bodies because they think it's a dumb premise and have an aversion because of what kind of audience it's for and being an obvious cash-in, and I watched it expecting bad schlock, for laughs, but it's actually way better than a movie like this should be.
I actually have something very sinful to confess... I saw this review, I saw the Stuckmann review about Movie 43 so I decided to finally check it out myself (don´t worry, I didn´t pay any money for it, I pirated it!). And I sat through it.. AND I ACTUALLY DIDN´T HATE IT! I laughed a couple of times! Yes, it is VEEERY dumb, but I actually liked it a lot more than many other more critically acclaimed films! (Like this unholy disaster of a film "Neon Demon" for example! This film is associated with pain now in my brain and unfortunately I DID pay money to see that film...)
Went to a Mexican restaurant the other day, came out to see a quinceanera going on in the adjacent parking lot with a mariachi band and tacos. Over half of the adults were fat, if not obese. True story
i read this manga bout a zombie girl wantin to be friend with a suicidal kid,sounds kinda like the movie but the manga had a cool twist or more like heartbreaking
If it were for Mike and Jay we would live in a dark depresing world where everything needs to be poetic, deep or artsy. Still I love laughing at their grim and sometimes incorrect view of movies xD
I didn't take Warm Bodies as literally as they did. Yeah, he's a zombie, but I figured it was a more metaphorical zombie. We're all so disconnected today, the only thing that snaps you out of it is love.
The book was a lot better, but the movie was still good. The point of the story was just because someone is human, doesn't mean they aren't a zombie. There are human zombie running around right now. People who live there life, but have no happiness in what they are doing and in how they treat other people. Julie's boyfriend before R was Perry. Perry lost his father to the zombie apocalypses and turn from an idealist into a paranoid soldier just like her father. Julie's father lost his wife to same zombie outbreak. These tragedies calcified them both into unchanging paranoid statues. They forget everything that was wonderful about life and focus only on survival. R comes along and kills Perry. Then R slowing begins to consume Perry's brain. As R eat more of the brain, he gains Perry's happy memory's, which helps R reawaken from whatever cause humanity to become zombies in the first place. I won't spoiler the books ending, but trust me when I say it's worth reading. While Warm Bodies the movie stops short of the book, it's still the same message, about not letting the important things in life pass you by.
The last paragraph of your comment highlights how the story doesn't work. Reading the first two paragraphs I could agree with a zombie metaphor, aka Shawn of the Dead. When R comes along and eats Perry's brain - stop. No longer a metaphor. He literally eats the guys brain. The idea that this helps R regain his humanity is equivalent to stealing it from his victim, like a vampire drinking the life from a person... and we're back to Twilight. I'll just stop here.
I'm glad they didn't pan "Warm Bodies" since it's a cute little film, but Jay and Mike were a little harsher than they needed to be. It's not COMPLETELY stupid that love could cure zombies; at least it's not any more stupid than the zombie concept itself. The antagonist "Bonies" (not "Bonesies") didn't turn violent out of some hated of romance - it was established that they would "eat anything with a heartbeat", and as the zombies were slowly cured by R and Julie's love, their hearts began to beat again, attracting the predatory instincts of the Bonies. I admit I have a slight bias, as it was shot in my home city and I enjoyed spotting the landmarks, even if they suggested the characters were walking in huge zig-zags for no reason. And Romeo and Juliet was written a little over 400 years ago, not 700 years ago.
I agree, I don't think the movie was meant to be taken as seriously as your typical zombie movie, and I take it as more symbolic than literal. Zombies represent the horde of mindless consumers that our modern society has become, and it makes sense that the solution to it would be human connection, or love.
The Movie 43 half of the review was re-uploaded. I guess *WARM* Bodies was just too *HOT* for RU-vid !!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did they ban this episode due to the zombie brained ignorance of the referencing in this episode? Jay's supposed to be a horror fan and doesn't know what a goth is - "Is there a group of people who like vampires?" Mike said it's ironical the movie's brain dead, when the movie IS about zombies. Also, Mike thinks Shakespeare was around in the 1300's. This stuff makes it very hard to watch.
so they got wolverine in a kitchen and they didn't make a joke about that? No Wolverine awkwardly cutting vegetables with his knife hands? No wolverine going "let me just get the meat out of the oven" the grabbing it with his bear hands "AHHHH!" as he slowly walks to the table?
