I Saw The TV Glow is the WORST Movie Ever Made 

Because it was poorly executed?

@@OffTheCover or maybe it wasn't meant for you to relate to... crazy thought i know

@@OffTheCover Then how everyone else got it beside you? Buddy, if everyone gets it, but you don't, then you are the problem

What point?

Movie was 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️💩💩💩💩💯💯🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

I can tell how lonely you are by your need to troll online...

@@OffTheCoverYou're literally proving his point 💀

@@OffTheCover you actually responded lol

@@OffTheCover DUDE STOP YOU ARE LITERALLY PROOVING HIS POINT

So if he doesn’t respond to criticism, he’s wrong and if he does, he’s wrong?

I don't often say this. But there are just some people that are so pretentious about everything, they shouldn't even open their mouths 😘

​@@OffTheCoveryeah like you for example

​@@OffTheCoveryour shitty condescending attitude and angry replies only strengthen what the op said.

​@@OffTheCover when you describe films as woke and that's your main criticism and your one example being all the very white very straight Top Gun maybe don't watch queer cinema it's very obviously not for you

​@@OffTheCover oh look, it's becoming self aware!

fr the fact he's so ableist about the characters is making me pissed off

It literally is

@@GZP1023 its not. its a neurological disorder

​@GZP1023 it's not lmao it's a neurological developmental disability

@@GZP1023its a developmental disability not a mental illness, 2 separate things it literally take a google search💀

Sure thing buddy 🤠

LMFAO! You are what is wrong with the world....

THIS MOVIE IS DARK & you want IT TO REPRESENT YOU ?

Bots & bottys 💯😭

@@hmgnick3879bruh what are you talking about? I don’t think anyone’s letting a movie represent them it’s just people enjoying something for what it is, and there’s darkness in literally everything

​@hmgnick3879 stop commenting that corny shit on every reply come up w something original

Me.

Made a whole series about it. Here's the first part: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TFZjjmzmVvw.htmlsi=FsHu2ap6m0mVWeki

People have been conditioned to like garbage...

@@OffTheCover LMFAO. Fanboy nerd who lilkes "fallout show" is going to tell how superior he is. I've been in movies since you were born.... And this was the WORST sht ever hitting the theatres. It's not because you are woke and nerdy everybody has to be. There are ALOT of movies with far more superior traits. Don't be this nerd....

@@OffTheCover Anyone that liked this movie is simply loving it for political reasons. They think they are dunking on people that can't stand wokeness and are sick and tired of it infecting every single piece of new media coming out.

@@SteveSherman-jp1dz except i love it for completely personal and emotional reasons unrelated to politics, as well as every layer that went into making it. why project your personal bias onto others?

@@Moderate_Rock But you are absolutely a supporter of far left politics correct? Your bias betrays you.

I am truly and immensely concerned about people who don't see how poisonous woke ideology is...

I am immensely concerned about the people that pretend "wokeness" is not being artificially promoted and now a part of every single thing in current culture despite being a tiny minority of the population.

@@SteveSherman-jp1dz You understand! I talked about this in my Dark Age of Cinema series... the Tyranny of the Hyperminority. Check out that video!

@@OffTheCoverwow you’ve never been laid ever have you

@@OffTheCover just say ur a bigot and move on

Oh I get it. It's just not a good movie from a cinematic and story telling perspective. Jumbled mess.

Not scared, so much as disgusted

@@SteveSherman-jp1dz you genuinely have no idea how funny that statement is, excellent work

@@bafflea9 You and your degenerate lifestyle are abhorrent and disgusting and have been rejected by the vast majority of human civilizations throughout history. Don't let that pendulum hit you on the way back!

@@bafflea9 I don't think your comment is the dunk that you think it is

ive never been so rocked in a theater, this was like twin peaks the return part 8 all over again

Perhaps this video will alleviate your concerns ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hIUjlg2lOuM.htmlsi=oZo_yLppqCygi9zO

Check out my Dark Age of Cinema series

@@OffTheCover can you please directly acknowledge and answer my questions? this response is nearly irrelevant and clearly an advertisement

@@Moderate_Rock No one is going to respond to your insane wall of text.

@@SteveSherman-jp1dz what makes it insane? not everything needs to be brief, if all discussions are limited to short messages then they can never go in depth. it's even numbered by subject, it's not jumbled; can you seriously not read something just because it exceeds a certain amount of lines?

@@Moderate_Rock You commented on a YT video and want the creator to respond to your 6 bullet points. That is insane. You are insane. I also did not read your respond to me. I lost interested after the first sentence.

Fr!!!

Nobody cares you mental issue Trans garbage and btw this is not a horror movie!!

LOL

Seeing your comment made me see just how much audiences accept garbage such as this "film"

Do you prefer progressive, Marxist, unhinged instead? Because they all mean the same thing.

@@OffTheCover Those are 3 completely different things. And the trans undertones of the film aren’t there for the sake of being progressive. The film was directed by a trans director, and with a story that was told through a lens that was very personal to them. The film does not have the intention of pushing an agenda but rather making those in the target audience feel understood, and to encourage them to live their lives authentically, which I felt was the biggest message of the film. If anything, this movie is like a piece of art you might see in a museum. Not everyone will connect with or understand it, but everyone will feel something from it. And even if you disliked it, you should still respect the artist for making something they were passionate about regardless of what people might think.

LITERALLY THISSSS I love this movie so much

@@copyglowperfectly said

@@OffTheCover how is being trans marxist???

I'm a nearly 40 y/o cis man and I loved this movie, people like this guy just can't seem to interpret visual story telling and symbolism and it makes them feel small so they lash out in anger. All his replies to differing opinions indicate as much. Don't let people like him get you down. I'm glad A24 is around and giving us something different. I didn't identify with everything in the movie but was still moved by it.

Visual story telling? This was pretentious garbage that was NOT good writing. The last 10-15 of the Dark Age of Cinema has rotted away your gray matter. You don't ask questions, you just consume product and get excited for next product.

@@OffTheCover this felt like a pretty natural progression and addition to the new queer cinema movement to me, stuff like: Kenneth Anger’s short films, Mulholland Drive, and the work of Gregg Araki. Feels awfully hypocritical to call a mid budget queer film a “product” while you have plenty of videos slobbing on the Dune films: high budget spectacles based on pre existing IP starring A List actors, you think those choices weren’t made by a room of suits?

​@OffTheCover says the guy with Captain America in yhe background of this video lol.

@@sebsshow Edit: It really is! It's inspired by Lynch's surrealism and I see a LOT of Araki in it. His exaggerated high school dialogue had to have inspired Jane, some of the beautiful sets (like the planetarium), his abrupt and shocking endings, and, most of all, the hopefulness underneath what seems like nihilism. I Saw the TV Glow can seem nihilistic because of how heartbreaking it is, but the "there is still time" message means that EXTREMELY positive and hopeful. Original comment (I had to get it out): GREGG ARAKI MENTIONED AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I CANT WAIT FOR THE CRITERION AND THE NEW MOVIE AND THE STRAND NOWHERE 4K I LOVE HIM PEAK DIRECTOR

You actually thought this was a good movie?

@@OffTheCover yes along with everybody else. i understand being desperate for views but this is a cheap method.

​@@OffTheCoveryes

@@LZisONLINE damn what a badass comment. lol.

​@@OffTheCoverThink a lot of people did

I bet your eyes glaze over with a movie like Primer, Oldboy, or even Shawshank. 😏

​@@OffTheCoverIs that supposed to be an ironic insult of something? Cause it sounds like a compliment. "Wow , you like this movie I hate?Well , I bet you LOVE some of the most emotionally complex and critically acclaimed movies of all time, dont you?"

@@OffTheCoverlmaoo you thought you ate that😭💀

@@OffTheCover what at all does liking or not liking this movie have to do with any other movie. Is the concept of being multifaceted with media foreign to you?

I am the target audience and this film is so explicitly trans coded its actually sometimes feeling a bit like a freight train. Maby its just cuz im trans so I understand and can relate to the emotions the characters go through. Like the movie has literal flashes of the main character in a dress and the words "there's still time" about the idea of burying yourself to "come alive" again as the "real you"

@@snowy-g9p that's the cool the about expressionism. Swimming through all the amazing reviews on letterboxd and other videos on here, I'm so envious that the director/writer was able to execute their vision in such a way that so many people feel like it personally relates to them and their lives. As you say, repression, queer identity and especially trans identity are major themes that can and are being pulled on. And that is super valid and important. What makes this such an astonishing piece of art in my book is that even cishet folks were able to feel deeply imacted by the themes of toxic escapism and nostalgia, authentic identity and trauma effecting you even after the abuser is gone. I mean how freaking cool is that?! Too often do I see studios and producers using queer identity and themes predominately as a marketing ploy in media, and it's so dope to see a queer, trans director takes the fundamental human aspects of their identity and expressing it such a way that it captures not only the specific experience of an individual or community but something transcendently human.

@@isleeponcouches3304 sure I agree I think that's a very fair take. I would agree that there is to me and as the directors intended to be a film about being trans, but has other themes and is enough where cishet people do enjoy the film and find other theme's they enjoy.

Educate yourself on the Dark Age of Cinema ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TFZjjmzmVvw.htmlsi=xN-M5jNKORiVq5FT

When you want to educate someone, show him something educational, not a video of a boomer who doesn't understand the art that he is talking about 😉.

I honestly thought it was a joke at first😅

If you thought this was intelligent... I'd hate to see your brain if you see Primer

Nah, mental *flyweigh*

If you think this is fine art, you clearly haven't seen enough movies. Go watch Primer and see how it blows your mind more than this trash heap.

The message is obvious and not remotely subtle just like every single other woke movie coming out these days. We are quite frankly sick of it.

@@SteveSherman-jp1dz it's not subtle at all and yet he still didn't understand it and then criticized the movie because he didn't understand it 😭

@@Moderate_Rock​​⁠my favorite part was when he said that this movie has a bad representation of the trans experience and then listed a bunch of movies that are infamous in the trans community as bad rep. his brain is goop

@@blackmoldinurwalls he says that yet you can find countless trans people online expressing how they felt deeply connected to this movie lmao

@@SteveSherman-jp1dz Ok, explain it then. What is the movie about?

"iT WasN't MaDe fOr YoU cIs wyte MaN!"

​@@leavemealoneandgoaway Have you ever heard the term "target demographic"? Films aren't required to have universal appeal, sometimes it's ok for a film to only be relatable for people who have personally experience the things it's talking about, if someone were to show me a film made by some korean man about struggles that only koreans face, I would probably be pretty confused and come away not particularly enjoying the film, but a korean filmgoer could watch that very same film and think it was a cinematic masterpiece that perfectly captured their life experiences. The commenter isn't saying that cis white people are somehow worse at understanding/enjoying movies (that would literally be sexist[?] and racist after all), they're saying that this film is about struggles faced by trans people, and as such someone who hasn't experienced those struggles won't be able to emotionally connect with the message of the film.

It has nothing to do with that. I care about good story and good character development. And if you had bothered to watch through the whole video, you would have seen that I cite examples of lgbtq movies done correctly: boys don't cry, tootsie, rocky horror picture show, dallas buyers club, and my absolute favorite: chasing amy.

@@OffTheCover rocky horror picture show is terrible LGBQTIA+ representation

​@@OffTheCoverYou missed his point. He said your eyes were glued to your script.

It ain't rage bait. The movie was terrible from a writing, character development, and acting perspective.

The movie sucked. I stand by that.

@@OffTheCoverit is completely possible to stand by that without crying like a child in the comments because you can't handle the fact that people liked the movie to the point where you actively put other people down for seeing something in it that you didn't

@@OffTheCover dude you can say a movie personally sucked without trying to pawn your opinion and assumptions off as fact - that's what the issue with this video is. No one is mad at you for not personally enjoying the movie. They're mad at you for trying to sell opinions as fact.

​@@OffTheCoverYour opinions in the minority quit trying to push it as fact

Damn, I had no idea.

REAL LMAO

Well, there's only 168 hours in a week so I generally don't like wasting my time on garbage movies...

@@OffTheCover there’s still time for you bro it’s not too late 🫰

Whatever do you mean kind sir? If people had bothered to watch the whole video, I expressed myself pretty clearly: movie has bad writing, bad acting, no character development, all style and no depth. Much better movie: Dallas Buyers Club

@@OffTheCover i’m not reading that. and i didn’t watch. enjoy the MINIMAL engagement for the algorithm

Have you ever watched the Critical Drinker?

@@OffTheCover Unfortunately, I have.

I've been watching movies since before you were a twinkle in your mother's eye...

​@@OffTheCoverYou should've stayed a twinkle in your Mother's eye

"Changes in Hollywood" wow... you really have your head in the sand. Highly recommend you watch some Nerdrotic and Critical Drinker and get educated

@@OffTheCoverNerdrotic and Critical Drinker are nothing more than narrow-minded grifters that use rage bait for views. Find better creators to recommend.

I never said it shouldn't exist. Just said it's bad because it lacks story, plot, and character development. You know, staples of a good movie

@@OffTheCover "It's not often that I say this, but there's just some movies that suck so bad, they shouldn't even exist" If you're going to lie about what you say, don't lie about your description and the first 5 seconds of your video. Christ, it's like you don't even remember what you said

@@OffTheCover no response to me quoting you? Wow you aren't just a hypocrite, you're a coward too

Imagine swallowing this type of garbage movie without question....

@@OffTheCover "without question" citation needed. You're just media illiterate and it's okay lil guy. Not everyone has the brain capacity to be an effective critic of media. Go read some books before you try again. LMAO

Exactly my thoughts!

Dune was leagues better than this trash heap...

ok, dune is pretty good

The fact that you think this is good cinema exemplifies the dumbing down of western society

@@OffTheCover that's more you than it is me

Great comment! You articulated yourself well. Oftentimes, in the rush to get out a video, my scripts can be a little surface level. That's why I'm taking my time on the next few videos. I'd love to get your take on my Demolition Man video, as I go deep in that one. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@OffTheCover yea and I apologize if I was too harsh 😅 i get passionate about films and stuff, what you said makes sense. All good 👍

I was kind of missing the horror aspect especially coming from A24. I missed the trans part too but still thought it was good. Then again I think I understood a lot of what the key messages of this movie were.

I have. And this is a far cry from that...

⁠@@OffTheCover all right, which ones and why are they far cry from it? Also might I just ask why is it so important for you to have dialogue that hints or at least tells you what it’s about besides using visual mediums and metaphors throughout to convey the story?

Oh I understood it, doesn't mean it's good though

I stand by my opinion. The movie blows. And a bunch of viewers subscribed so they must also agree.

@MrAB.c it also has 168 dislikes lol.

​@@OffTheCoverA lot of people subscribed? You have less than 3k subs lol

He thinks will Smith is his dad. He is incorrect

@@emilyryan892they don’t even look alike 😭

Dudes a dumbass who doesn't do his research and tries pushing his opinion as fact

Cinematic masterpiece??? LMFAOOOOO 😂😂😂😂 funniest thing I've heard all day. Thanks for that!

@@OffTheCover maybe you’d be less miserable if you didn’t surround yourself with things you don’t like! hope this helps

YOU ARE RETARDED.

I hate to break it to you but that's not how psychology and debate work. So you're saying psychologists can't decide what a good representation is? Didn't they teach critical thinking in your schools?

​@@OffTheCover ok, a couple thoughts. 1: i was never talking about psychology. like, at all. i was talking about identity and representation and, more specifically, i was critiquing your takes. i'm genuinely not sure how my comment shows that i don't understand psychology. if you're arguing in good faith, then i would love to see how i misunderstood (genuinely). same goes with debate. 2: "so you're saying psychologists can't decide what's good representation" first off, did not mention psychologists. putting words in my mouth like that is not a very cool thing to do. but also, sort of? like, a psychologist that's a man doesn't get to decide what's good representation for women, cause, like, obviously. they're not one. but like, in terms of mental illness, they kind of can. without direct experience with a mental illness, you can't really decide what's good rep and what's not. but psychologists and people with close ties to mentally ill people do generally have a better understanding than other people, like you. 2.5: also, important to note, i was talking specifically about mental illness there, which is not what queerness is. i have a feeling you don't agree with that, which is why you brought up psychologists. but the psychologists and knowledgeable people that you're using to disprove my, and i cannot stress this enough, non-existent point, very much agree that being trans is not a mental illness. 3: i find it very interesting (and by interesting i mean a likely indication that you're arguing in bad faith) that you never really tried to give a rebuttal to my points, but rather proved my "outlandish, completely illogical" - and non-existent - points to be wrong, and then made a jab at me personally, which i personally try to avoid doing in order to encourage deeper talks. 4: for the record, i did learn critical thinking. i went to a montessori school for the first nine years of my educational journey, and it helped me immensely with my social, emotional, and intellectual learning, taught me things like how to have healthy debates and think critically, and helped shape me into who i am today. but also, why say that? like, you know i'm a kid, right? genuinely asking, what are you getting out of making fun of a child that wanted to partake in a meaningful discussion with you? bragging rights? a feeling of superiority? the satisfaction of avoiding to actually let yourself think critically, like you mock me for doing? i'm very confused. so yeah. if you want to provide me with evidence that proves that i can't debate and that i know nothing about psychology, then i'd love to hear it. if you don't acknowledge all of my points or you make another personal jab at me, a person you don't know, then i will not respond, because i have already had to deal with many people like you (namely middle school boys) in my real life and i'd prefer to spend my time doing things i actually enjoy. believe it or not, i don't actually enjoy arguing with adults who's only goals are to make fun of me and feel like they've won an argument. hope you have a good week, unless, of course, you're arguing in bad faith, in which case i wish every minor inconvenience possible to happen to you this week.

@@coralinescousin bro doesn't respond because he has nothing to say back to this, it genuinely seems like he just doesn't understand the message, i've been watching reviews and trailers and what he seems to do is explain different acts in the film without even understanding the message, he understands it's about trans representation but he doesn't actually understand the feeling, and it's simply because he's not the target audience, but even with this being said, you don't have to be trans to feel good about this film, you just have to not be transphobic.

@@OffTheCoverare you a psychologist? or are you a white man with a youtube channel...

Thanks for the kind words!

I grew up. When you do, I'll be here waiting.

​​@@OffTheCover[Insert here that one drawing of a guy swimming in piss while laughing at another guy who's swimming in perfectly clean water]

High engagement leads to more impressions (# of times YT shows your video to audiences) and therefore more views. Believe it or not, over 30 people subscribed because of this video.

@@OffTheCover oh that’s interesting I didn’t know that

Thanks! Lots of people defending it too! Make sure to subscribe to the channel to help keep it growing 👍

​@@OffTheCoveryou're a grow ass just talking for like 7 minutes and 17 seconds and saying ableist things and saying some edgy ass jokes and screw you

​@@OffTheCoveralso if you say shit over a teen do it I don't care and nobody cares about your reviews and get a job

The acting, story telling, plot and character development are all terrible. I was being facetious about Will Smith...

@@OffTheCover if you can’t understand the concentration it takes to do bridget’s monologue in the third act just say that. it’s okay to be facetious i guess when everyone already thinks you’re an dumbass in the first place. btw the movie works because owen doesn’t character develop where as maddie does. that’s literally the whole point of the movie

@@milopond he commented under another comment that he didn't know that Will Smitch is not Justice Smith's dad, so he wasn't being facetious LMAO he's just trying to save face

You fell asleep and didn't drive sleepy?

@OffTheCover hm. I don't get it.. I guess now I relate to your lack of media literacy..🤔

I got the point but the movie is garbage.

The movie sucked. What's so embarrassing?

@@OffTheCover you replying to every negative comment because you’re insecure lmfaooooo

💯

The problem is the target audience of all new movies doesn't seem to include the 90%+ sane part of the population anymore. I get it. You are an ultra far left loon that wants to see the LGBT agenda pushed into every facet of life. You are the vocal minority. The rest of us normal people just want you all back in the closet.

one of the most respectable comments here!

Thanks for the explanation. I just watched it and was just so confused. I still think the movie is lackluster, way too slow, way too strange. Seemed like it was a horror movie but I don’t know what it is. It leave me feeling empty inside and sad. Will give it credit for leaving me feel depressed.

@@samuelmarquez3757 how it left you feeling after watching is definitely part of the point of the movie. living as your inauthentic self, suppressing your gender identity, hiding that you're trans etc, all leave you feeling empty and sad

Modern Hollywood...

@@OffTheCover go watch your black n white movies man...stop hating on stuff you dont like

Funny you bring up the matrix, because that movie was also made by trans people and the "red pill" was explicitly inspired by a brand of estrogen pills that was popular around that time.

I did, in the 90s, without all this woke garbage
