The Day The Clown Cried is still less tasteless than that "feel good quirky romantic comedy" series about Covid that Hulu tried to promote a few months ago. Isn't that like making a "feel good quirky romantic comedy" about 9/11 in between the towers falling?
Can't wait for The Day The Clown Cried, for the strangest of reasons - I grew up as such a big fan of Jerry and everything he did, his solo comedy in films like The Disorderly Orderly, his loving friendship with Dean Martin, his directing (his first film was the original "The Nutty Professor"), I just loved the guy ever since I was a kid. When I heard about this film he didn't want the world to see, I was willing to respect his wishes as he clearly saw he made a film that didn't work and perhaps went too far, and I didn't want to see something that brought him so much shame - That is, until he made some comments on tv about asylum seekers and immigrants to the effect of "they should go back to where they came from", and it just broke my heart to see one of my heroes, himself belonging to one of the most oppressed groups in history, be so fucking callous. They say don't meet your heroes, but I didn't have to, because this one reached out of the tv, grabbed me by the lapel, and said to me "don't miss me when I'm gone". Ever since, I've wanted to see that film because it's the most respectful way I can think of getting him back for what he said - Not as a symbolic spitting on that man's grave, but because I think he should be ashamed of what he said, before he should be ashamed of that movie.
I just passed a movie theater in a mall and the five posters of movies was just depressing to see. Saw Robert De Niro's face with the title "The War with Grandpa." Just call it pay check...
The bit in the trailer where an airplane blips out of the sky and then back tricked everyone I know who saw it. We all were expecting some sci fi/time travel/pocket dimension weirdness that seemed somewhat original. How disappointing.
The beastie boys story is pretty ok for a fan, but their book is on another level, not only stories about the band, but a lot of background infos of influential people from their time, how NY was back in the days, behaviour of people during concerts or on the streets. It's like a time capsule. Highly recommend if you are interested in music, culture and people from that era.
The last film I watched in theatres was Onward, there was me and a dad with his son in the entire theatre. I sat in the balcony while they were on the main floor. It was on a Wednesday showing at the local place. I enjoyed myself.
I want a black n white image of the broken mug on the floor, with "In The Arms Of Angel" song playing in the background. With the years of how long Mike's been drinking out of it appear over it.
That Beastie Boys hypocrite question was just bizarre. "So, you sure are different now from back when you were immature children. What's up with that?"
@@timi_ro It's also a product of the time. Certain kinds of humor, for example, were much more tolerated then than now. Andrew Dice Clay's comedy, for example, wouldn't get the same draw today, even though he was king of the world in the 80s.
I love the addition of time stamps and chapters. I won’t use them for the channel, I watch the whole video every time. But good on ya for including those!
Nolan is in that Burton stage of being predictable, stale and faithfully married to his own particular style, I think at this moment I would rather sit through any of those awful Burton movies full of neon barf rather than any recent Nolan stuff at least with Burton's stuff I can laugh at it and be distracted by the horrid color palette for a short while.
@@bencarlson4300 I do not hate him and I do not think there is a widespread dislike for him either, under normal circumstances the movie would had been a decent hit I think but if people know what to expect of a director under this particular situation I think they would rather do or see something else with their money, there are a lot of options out there at the moment and people have to be more selective than usual. In my partcular case his recent body of work falls in a category I tend to dislike a lot, boring and predictable.
The last movie I saw not in my own home was Suspiria 1977 in a concert hall with live soundtrack by a group including a member of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard... At least it was something memorable.
I truly thought people were being dramatic when they said the twist in Antebellum was bad. But damn. That is honestly the dumbest direction they could have gone with it.
@@inevitableveganfuture3915 No it wouldn't. Ever. It's literally a product of a tone-deaf attempt to cash-in by exploiting current social issues and past genocidal exploitation of a racial minority. All while riding on the coattails of movies which explore those issues through an artistic medium instead of exploiting them. It's the equivalent of The Day the Clown Cried, HAD such movie been made in modern-day Germany to cash-in on the popularity of Schindler's List, depicting a secret enclave of Nazis running a death camp... with the second director being a non-Jewish German with a vague idea of existence of the Holocaust. And it would still fail to capture the misogynistic aspects of a story about black women being raped and murdered... told by two guys who think that, in the end, it is a story about empowerment.
Call me crazy but the idea of getting kidnapped and then waking up as a slave in what you think is pre emancipation US sounds like a great idea for a horror movie. Maybe if a good writer and director did it it could work.
I’ve worked a movie theater. 50/50 my rear. Production companies take most of the box office. The theater gets between 10%-40% of the box office sales(40% is rare), depending on the contract. It’s standard for the theater to get 10% for the first couple weeks. Sometimes the entire run is 10%, but sometimes it goes up after the first two weeks. And that’s why the concessions are so pricey.
They say that Antebellum is a low rent version of a Peele movie, but a very on the nose movie about modern racism without much else to talk about sounds exactly like every movie he's made so far.
movie theaters need to restructure to 12 rows of full bars so i can throw empty 6 packs of coors light at the screen every time the noise pictures interrupt my alcoholic loneliness coping mechanism
I could swear I’ve heard him say that line before but better. I thought the original was “I put my pizza rolls in the vcr so I could watch them cook”. But it’s pretty much the same. Those frauds are reusing their jokes!
"Tom and Jerry Save Cinema! Christopher Nolan Retires in Shame" Oh God I sincerely hope that becomes a real headline in 2021! It would make getting through 2020 worth it.
Hi guys, just wanted to say I love when you put the reviews aside for a bit to talk about the current state of the industry. Always interested in hearing your guys’ thoughts!!!!
@@matthiasthulman4058 it is a fat suit over a fat Crowe, he is not there yet but soon he might find himself buying clothes exclusively in The Portly Gentleman.
It's that's going to finally rid us of his obnoxious, bloated movies and even more annoying crowd of his fans acting like he's some sort of visionary, making Bergman-tier cinema, and not your run-the-mill Hollywood hack - all the fucking better. Last time I had fun watching his movie, it was Insomnia, mostly due to having an excellent cast. That came out 18 years ago. I won't lie, I do have Schadenfreude out of Tenet bombing hard and on top of that being panned for being a mess, too, but then again, I only learned that movie existed at all by late November.
@@Myrth1 the Dark Knight Returns was good too, albeit good for a Hollywood style action film. He's a genius in terms of how he decided to make action in movies more visceral but he makes films with shitty scripts and he uses cheap tricks, smoke screens and twists to make up for a lack of intellectual depth and logical consistency etc etc
@@Myrth1 he's no Bergman but he's a good director. Dunkirk and inception were really well made by any movie buff's standards. Regardless, he's right about direct to streaming services.
This is the first time I’ve heard anyone, ANYONE, discuss “Doom Patrol”. It’s such a great show that no one is watching. Hopefully the move to HBO max can fix that.
Its gonna be 2 weeks on repeat until an communist regime is sitting over all of the free countries left in the world. China has 1.4billion people and no 2nd or 3rd wave in sight.. because their shit tier regime is already in place
Just remembered other than Bad Boys for Life, Sonic The Hedgehog was the most Profitable film this year. Christopher Nolan got his ass beat by a fast, blue hedgehog. "Life is good sometimes." Yes I know it made $50 million less but it cost $100 million less to make so it ballences out.
Cool to see them talk about Adam Yauch a bit :) Was my dad's good friend and I still have nostalgia to various Tibetan and Asian imagery just because I visited their house a lot when I was little
I really liked that Uncle Frank was lighter in tone. It's out dated that absolutely all gay stories should be SO desperate and heavy. Great characters, really well done.
Quibi actually made me mad when I first heard about how much money they poured into that crap. Lot of hard times for people and over a billion dollars is poured into a purple, celebrity-endorsed outhouse of a service
I also can't speak for everyone, but I don't watch RU-vid videos specifically because they're short. It's a symptom of the platform that they're usually short, because most videos are being made by individuals on like no budget or their subject matter doesn't call for the length. So making the service on the assumption that people specifically want shorter videos is odd to me.
Half in the Bag has completely ceased to be what it was when it started and I'm absolutely happy with that. It used to be "mike and jay talk about 2 movies they both saw" and its evolved fully into a show where they painstakingly document the ever changing landscape of the industry and also talk about some stuff they watched.
My eyes got real wide and I felt so bad for Mike when he said rise of skywalker was the last movie he saw in theaters. Than I realized, that was the last movie I saw in theaters also. Feels bad man.
Remember when these lovable schmuck's talked about how streaming services will be the norm and theaters will slowly be dying slowly back in their Half in the bag review of Cloverfield Paradox?
I really like that movie studios are releasing their films on streaming services in tandem with theaters now, because it means I don't have to wait three months before I can find a decent copy on ThePirateBay.
The funniest part of the Russell Crowe telephone thing is that in addition to second degree assault, they charged him with fourth degree criminal possession of a weapon. That weapon being the telephone.
