“If it’s a remake of a classic, tent the classic.” My response to Disney’s “live action” remakes. The Lion King was a great animated film, why do we need a CGI remake?
@@thechuckjosechannel.2702 Give me a break, I've seen better animated timeless classics in Japan like Dragon Ball than that stupid furry cat movie, Heck even the Disney Afternoon was way more entertaining classics for me than the stupid classic Disney movies themselves.
If the movie used to be a TV Show, just don't go. = *Jem & the Holograms* After Roman Numeral II, give it a rest. = *Ice Age* If it's a re-make of a classic, RENT THE CLASSIC. = *Beauty and the Beast* Tell them you want stories about people, not $100,000,000 of stunts and explosives. = *many Michael Bay directed films* IF THE MOVIE STINKS, JUST DON'T GO. = *The Emoji Movie*
Was The Critic and Duckman actually ahead of their time or were they dealing with the same crapola current American culture is dealing with? I'd say instead of pretending that the animators of 90s late night cartoon shows were having clairvoyant visions of the future, it makes far more sense to admit that nothing ever truly changes. Jean Baptiste was spot on when he made the quote, "The more things change the more they stay the same."
It shows how these claims that "movies nowadays suck, movies in my time were better" are total bullshit, Hollywood was always like this, it's just that nostalgia makes us only remember the good stuff. Plus, one thing got better, at least nowadays, special effects and CGI can't sell a bad movie anymore, say watch you want about all of those reboots and superhero movies, people are watching them because of the characters, not the special effects.
There should be a video game version of this with the AVGN... AVGN: "It's very simple if you stop buying shitty fucking games, they'll stop making shitty fucking games." Bobby Kotick: "Uh-oh! The jig is up!" *jumps out window*
+TheY2AProblem It's funny reading this now, given how James has stated he won't be watching the new Ghostbusters movie because he's pretty sure it will stink.
In today’s society... We need Jay Shermans in the world more than ever... Now a lot of garbage films are being put out in a rapid rate... In the words of Jay Sherman: IT STINKS!
With a time machine, we'll wipe them out from existence and replace them with better films. The better films will be hailed with solid gold stories, performances, directions, cinematographies, dialogues, music, songs, and everything which makes a high quality film the best of the best.
He'd just be falsely accused of trying rape some bourgeois woman and his life would be slandered to his grave and his wikipedia page would ensure that future generations believe lies about him.
No it wasn't. It was just honest. Honesty in media is considered the greatest sin of our time. If a news reporter was 100% honest about a controversy or event, you could legally murder the man and the police would kiss the soles of your shoes.
An optimistic statment is immediately shown on here: On the short term, not viewing bad movies WILL end bad movies, but it will only last until what would be considered good now is considered bad, even horrible in the future. Like the concept of universal entropy, relative quality of movies old and new can go from good to bad overtime until there's a sharp line between what's good and what's bad with areas of neutrality.
This show was made in the 90s, Hollywood was always like this. In fact, there are a few advantages of 2010s Hollywood, while they are even more out of ideas, doing only reboots, remakes and sequels, and making even more superhero movies, at least nowadays, you can't sell a bad movie with a hundred million dollars of stunts and explosives, special effects don't sell a bad movie anymore. Say what you want about this excess of superhero movies, people are watching them because of the characters, not the special effects.
"This morning on English for Cab Drivers, I was going to teach you how to say 'He was already dead when I hit him'." The student reaction says it all. Now let's hope that self-driving cars don't get programmed to say that.
It didn't predict anything, it was already like this in the 1990s, you just remember the good movies from the past. One thing that got better: You can't sell a bad movie with a hundred million dollars of stunts and explosions, CGI got widespread and is no longer impressing.
Junk remakes existed in the past too. The only difference was that modern remakes have to take into account ESG and disingenuous social grandstanding. Remember that the same people telling the world that not liking a film is akin to burning crosses are the same people who will, with a straight face, accuse any black man of raping white women if he has a chance of getting into the Whitehouse without kissing the shoes of the bourgeoisie. Remember what these same people said about Herman Cain and remember that none of them apologized.
@@JoeFanik Unfortunately the hatewatching seems to have giving it a view boost, apparently it has S2 in the works That said, Velma seems to game the idea "if it stinks just don't go" by asking "Wanna see how far we can fuck it up?"
I mean, everything Jay says here is true, and is applicable to any media, namely, "it's very simple, if you stop consuming bad x, they'll stop making bad x."
That's sad to see leftovers from the past that are the same thing as the original when the original did it better! i didn't pay to see these lazy halfassed live action remakes of disney classics and will continue to do so. Eventually the returns to these remakes will diminish and once they bomb, it will send Disney the message and cancel future remakes. I support Walt Disney Studios animation and Pixar.
Modern critics need to learn this one solid advice. Trying to spin it to take big bad corpos down a peg won't do you any favors. Just makes you look foolish.
This includes hate watching things. It doesn't matter if you streamed that show you knew was gonna be bad with all the vitriol your heart can hold, all they see is another viewer.
"If the movie is a phase 5 MCU not directed by James Gunn, just don't go. After the second use of a coloned subtitle? Give it a rest. If it's a remake of a classic? Stream the classic!"
A remake is only good if the director makes the film entirely their own while still having the basic framework of the original story. It's why the shot for shot Psycho remake doesn't work.
this show is so timeless, it really resonates with me as an unloved film critic with a severe disdain for modern cinema and passion for meaningful classic cinema
This is what people should learn from "The Emoji Moive", and US/UM, and Ren Seeks Help, and Adam Sandler Movies and anything people know they won't like.
I only just saw a couple of memes with this scene on discord, so I thought I might as well watch the full scene myself. This is way more relevant now than it was back then, even though the '90s also had its fair share of bad movies.
Perfectly describes how most movies today are either shitty remakes, pointless sequels or regurgitated spin off crap. Call me old fashioned but i still prefer movies that are original and have talented actors/writers that make the story convincing and interesting
remember the episode of had Jay Sherman who wrote a great script and was hired by Hollywood by a studio to write Ghostchasers 3 (Ghostbusters in the Critic universe) and when Jay wrote the script the executive of the studio told Jay his thoughts on his screenplay. the GB remake bombed because it was poorly paced and had a horrendous unfunny screenplay that felt it was written in a day on a notepad and to quote that Grossman guy from The Critic (remember that great adult animated show from the 90s?) from the LA Jay episode on what i think of the script to Ghostbusters 2016 on that episode when Jay Sherman wrote the script to Ghostchasers 3. Jay: All right, it's just you and me. Now what did you think of my script? Gary Grossman: It was excrement. Jay: Did you say it was excellent? Gary Grossman: It was crummy. Jay: Did you say "it was yummy? Gary Grossman: It was an awful piece of junk that made me want to puke all night. Jay: Did you say it was an awesome piece of spunk that you want to shoot tonight? Gary Grossman: It was a bilious piece of dirt that made me cry out in pain. Jay: Did you say it was a brilliant piece of work, and you'll fly me to Spain? Where we'll meet King Juan Carlos and drink sangria all night? Gary Grossman: You piece of blech. That episode predicted GB 2016 years later and it's screenplay which any rational true movielover/fan of the originals who know good filmmaking think of the remake's poorly written script.
Disney, Netflix, and all these other streaming survives trying to revive the corpses of IPs that should just stay dead and untouched because they can't just leave something along now without altering scenes to make it less offensive.
"If the movie used to be a TV show, just don't go." True. "After Roman Numeral II, give it a rest." III is not all bad, but sure. "If it's a remake of a classic, *rent the classic*" LOUDER TO THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!
Well, to be honest, it provoked people anyway. Seriously, this year is cancerous somehow. Almost everyone has high blood pressure at this point. No Man's Sky controversies, AVGN's ass getting chewed, someone threw a bottle of piss at me while I was getting out of a cab, TF2, it's seriously an awful year to be a human.
01:00 - Can today's generation of young people relate to this statement? Now, they're remaking Ghostbusters. There have been remakes of broadway versions of originals ("Hairspray"). What is wrong with this generation? Can't they come up with anything original? Perhaps it's a hangover from the 20th century, the anxiety of that influence. Perhaps it's a desire to revert to a pre-9/11 state by rehashing anything from before that day. Or, perhaps it's because all of the creativity of today's generation goes into its technology rather than through it. Jimmy Carter warned of a crisis of confidence in in 1979. Today, we face a crisis of creativity.
+spb 78 It's not that they can't think of anything original, but that they don't need to. Why bother wasting time and money on something new when you can just use something that already exists, and make steady money? Original content is risky and you don't usually get a good return on investment unless you are really lucky, so you don't do original content. Money owns the world, the movie(and others) industry follows the same rule as the rest of the world.
its more of a sense of nostalgia with classics such as plays,movies,show's are close to peoples heart,and would make more money that way,with a new story it becomes hard to really invest yourself with people you don't know
You know, I'm just going to refer people to this video every time someone complains about transformers or junk like the emoji movie from now on. If you go to a movie knowing it's bad, it's your fault, and there can be no remorse for you.
Not really, its not about personal taste, its about motivation behind doing something. I think even though Sausage Part is not everybody's cup of tea, its not a quick cash grab, its not trying to exploit franchises. It is an original idea, by directors/writers/actors that are doing it because they believe in it.
mmmmmmsv Yeah, but I've already read the leaked script to Sausage Party that's floating around everywhere and it was just plain terrible, which is why I think that this clip applies to Sausage Party as well. The script stinks so I just won't go, original or not. I completely understand what you're saying, though.
Don't forget about the animators behind Sausage Party that got screwed over by their producers at Nitrogen Studio, the company that animated SP. Nitrogen didn't pay some of the animators for the overtime; plus the shitty working conditions a lot of these guys had to endure.
