That's EXACTLY what it is. Stuckmann prescribes to the French delusion of film theory; he thinks that it is only the writer/director who is the _auteur_ (said as pretentiously as one possibly can), and every single other person involved in the project serves no purpose but to facilitate the _h'AuTeUr'S_ vision. The truth, as director Alan Parker put it, is that movies are a collaborative experience, every single person brings a bit of themselves to the project. A director can, say, direct a performance, but is never going to get a better performance than one the actor was already capable of delivering; all the director is doing is conducting them. Chris Stuckmann, if he had a spine, would have been the kind of kid who would want the whole playground to play pretend with him, then get mad when they didn't play pretend exactly his way... but he was too weak to direct a playground, so he just played by himself. And he's carried that puerile mentality for decades, and now projects it onto the adult pretend playtime of movies.

A couple of years after the house was finished, we found that her house began to develop structural damage due to the foundation warping over time.

The thing is, I know where his head is at with how hard he's trying to keep cinema alive. He says it all the time in his reviews and discussions about how worried he is about cinema going capoot. And his constant pushing of his audience to go out and watch movies to support them. Especially since he's made it very clear he wants to get into that circle now. Despite it probably being too late, due to the failing state of cinema. A state of cinema, he's clearly aware of. The issue is, he so very clearly believes now that he CANT criticize anyone related to Hollywood anymore. Because he probably feels like if he criticizes them, he's adding to the fire that is burning cinema down. Contributing the destruction of the very thing he now so desperately wants to be a part of. That, and he so clearly wants to majorly kiss a lot of Hollywood a$s, with the hopes that they'll take him under their wing. But, that's irrelevant. Because he's not going to single handedly destroy Hollywood by being honest, and he's DEFINITELY not going to save it. They've doomed themselves, and it's too late for him to join Hollywood at its height. As it's only falling at this point. The only thing he succeeds in doing is destroying his own reputation as a once well-trusted critic by a massive gathering of fans. Losing his credibility with his subscribers, in order to try to get in the good graces of Hollywood royalty, and a desperate but futile attempt to slow Hollywood's self-destruction.

I remember it. He basically came out and said it wasn't his type of movie and wasn't therefore wasn't going go see it. He didn't insult anybody, though he did say the effects looked somewhat bad and that was really it. It was a reasonable response. But it being Ghostbusters 2016 he was immediately labeled a sexist and people tried to drag him down for not wanting to see it. I don't think he ever responded to the controversy and came out the other end intact by not engaging with the culture war that surrounded that movie. A culture war that was being actively fueled by Sony at that.

So his argument is: "Hey, these film makers worked really hard on this and they had a difficult boss, so I'm not going to critique it." Well, yeah, Chris. That's true. But they also got paid for it. And you're a film critic.

Let me say this: I do not have an issue with Chris not wanting to make an outright review or rant about the movie and instead wanting explain how certain business decisions in Hollywood leads to movies being... soulless for lack of a better term. And to his credit he does say quite a few things that I can honestly agree with him on. The problem is that throughout the video, it feels more like he is placing way more blame on the producers and executives of the movie for Madam Web being bad without any solid proof that they are more responsible than the writers and directors were. Consistently bad directing is not the result of studio medaling. It can be but until we prove that, its not. Bad storytelling on this level is not the fault of studio mandates. Spiderman 3 was a great movie despite the medaling bs Raimi went through. But not this movie. At the end of the day, Chris needs to understand that if he wants to "Elevate" the topic of film making and speak on the positives or whatever, he needs to pick his battles properly and understand that its not bad or unproductive to say that Tommy Wiseau would make a better movie than this. He is effectively infantilizing the writers and directors of film (albeit with his heart in the right place) for the sake of being positive. That is never a good thing especially without any evidence. Also Love you Wolf

There's only a select few people in Hollywood who can criticize the modern industry and films while holding on to their career. Chris is not one of them.

Chris Stuckmann simps: OH MY GOD, CHRIS DIDN'T LIKE THE MOVIE, WHY DO YOU CARE? Me: Yes. He didn't like the movie. The problem is he wasn't willing to call out how bad it was, instead pussyfooting around the issue, and nebulously blaming the studios, which nobody inside his realm is going to be pissed at. Yes, studio interference is a thing. But Chris is claiming that the studio interference is the only problem Madame Web, and any movie, faces. Completely ignoring how movies like The Room that are completely independently backed, fail miserably, and how directors can in fact be at fault, like when Tom Hooper directed cats, and was being an abusive asshole who refused to work within the medium of Cats. The reality is you just don't want to hear someone insult Madame Web, because you're scared of negativity, so rather than ignore the negative reviews, you just want Chris to validate your toxic positivity, and watch grifters "Call out" the negative critics you don't like in order to validate your opinions.

But creatives! Creatives are always right so says our lord and saviour Chris Stuckman.

That's not a fair comparison. Courage is the type of person who, despite his anxiety, would not only participate in a local film making competition but would call out his neighbors' (such as the Foo guy) crappy productions while they're being screened.

He retired the ONLY good part of his show??

Chris reminds me of the same type of cowardice that Game "Reviewers" do when they start blaming the producers and not the "Poor Dev Teams". If the game is bad, they are ALL to blame.

It's shocking how Chris has become some ignorant at the idea that a bad movie happens only because studios got too involved. Chris's infamous "Zod's Snapped Neck" response wasn't directed towards the studio but David S Goyer and Zack Snyder who wrote and directed how that scene planned out originally, WB had nothing to do with it. Why is he pretending or assuming a bad film isn't at fault of the creators involved?

Superman killed Zod three times in DC comics. So brutally once that Spectre confronted that with Superman. So Zack Snyder and David Goyer are absolutely right. Man of Steel is the best and most comics accurate Superman movie ever. 10/10. People who criticize Man of Steel and Zack Snyder, have no clue about DC comics and nostalgic idiot of Christopher Reeves.

​@@52BLUE on Sardonicast, Ralph weakly admitted that he thought "Joker" was an interesting film. IHE tore into him while YMS laughed. Please understand that IHE is seen, by their crowd, as wealthy and connected. Someone who could open doors. (I doubt that, but there you have it.) Anyway Ralph goes on to make a "Joker" video, which was meant to be, in part, a public denouncement of "Joker" in hopes of appeasing IHE and the rest of that faction. However, some part of Ralph did not actually want to cowtow like that. Yet another part of him still held a torch for real, hollywood work. So, he was a man at war with himself and that really came through in the video. There were schizoid moments, like describing "Citizen Kane" as a foundational film, then barking back at himself, saying that "Kane" is both boring and hard to watch. (Hey, I don't rate it very highly either.) but, this illustrates Ralphs actual perspective VS what he feared he would have to conform to. "movie maker" was in his name all along. I do not blame him or shame him, not one bit, but youtube was always meant to be a stepping stool for him. I am sorry to say that no amount of hustle or noterity was ever going to get him over that wall. Those dice were rolled a long time ago. Mike at RLM also thought that phone would ring one day, as many in hollywood, disney and television follow and like him. he has made his peace at this point. Stucmanized is the same, but I care for him least of all. he seems talentless and insincere.

I'm reminded of BennetTheSage's not-review of Violence Jack, in which his producer chewed him out for trying to get out of reviewing it: "YOU CANNOT DO THIS JOB WITHOUT OFFENDING SOMEONE!" An excerpt from a scripted skit which pertains to an audience's reaction in its original context, but applies just as well to how filmmakers might react to criticism.

Used to watch him, but now he’s another person who loves to hear himself talk

@@dreadlittlewings5268 that's the closest phrase I guess

I love movies so much but that doesn’t mean I’m cut out to be a filmmaker. Being a director is a lot like being an author, anyone can do it but only a few are really good at it. Unfortunately for Chris, this does seem to be a case of somebody who really loves movies but is not passionate or talented enough to become a director. I’m not saying this to be mean, I just think Chris needs some brutal honesty. He probably will never be a big director working in Hollywood. No matter how hard he tries, he’s just not good enough. We’ll see how good Shelby Oaks does but either Chris needs to get back his integrity and continue making genuine KZread videos or just quit and find a real job.

Of course he has the ‘our hard earned money’ as if the producers execs etc on the corporate side didn’t work hard to get the movie made, good or bad

Ace "You can't judge a book by its cover." Lister "And you can't confuse Stuckmann with a book. For starters, a book's got a spine."

Part of me wants to believe that Chris has zero energy because he has twin sons. I could never fault him for that. But I can fault him for playing cover for bad films because he himself doesn't want to be criticized. If he's merely trying to prostrate in front of Hollywood in the hopes of fostering a career to provide for his family, I can't fault him for the overall goal, but I'd like to think there's a more noble way of going about it.

finally, a new, long-awaited chapter of Stuckmanverse

"He's more vegetable than man now. Twisted and evil....."

This was therapeutic. Thanks for making this. I appreciate the time taken put this together. It really ties together the emptiness I have been feeling from his channel.

First of all, the only reason he's not "bashing" bad movies as he says (which to be fair, he's had this opinion for a while now) is because he's making his own film. I guarantee he's going to use that to springboard working into Hollywood, and to cover himself, he's stopped criticizing those studios' awful films. Second, what he says about it taking a lot of time and effort to make a film amounts to nothing when the film is bad. Look at Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey, when reviewers talked bad about it, the production company fired back and talked about all the effort they put into it, and all the time they spent in the hot Summer. Well, the movie still looks like shit, so I guess it was all for nothing.

Hey Wolf, I got an idea for a Highlight clip. -- Short clip is the Better Help AI article read MauLer had in this EFAP. Longer clip (and I don't know the proper EFAPs to reference) is the AI Article clip from the most recent EFAP + Other times MauLer has mentioned Better Help and their controversies in the past. Also Hi!

Stuckman sold out all his family and old friends claiming they kept him from being successful in life in order to garnish pity from his community. He has been a sell out for years, he'll do anything for fame and career success. You can see how this has sucked the soul from him. He is a husk of what he used to be.

An example of producers saving a film would be the producers of the warriors stopping Walter hill from putting comic book chapters in the film for budgetary and release reasons.

If we have this kind of criticism imagine the world we live in, Everything is shit because we are afraid to criticize something because we are more focus not to hurt someone's feelings.

If my memory is correct, with Dragon Ball Z the creator was asked to make more powerful antagonists than android 19 and Doctor Gero. Then with androids 17 and 18 were looked at as the delinquents so they asked to make a penultimate villain and that’s how we ended up with one of the best villains Cell. So sometimes studio interference can lead to great things and sometimes it can’t.

If you want the single greatest example of criticism making a difference in someone's life in the past 15 years: A man who made Christian games and short films for children was told that his character designs looked like creepy, uncanny Chuck E.

There was NO studio interference, Sony trusted them way too much. Both writers said they had no idea who Madame Webb was and they further articulated the incredibly innacurate statement that there wasn't much of a background to her story. How they still managed to get hired in hollywood is the true mystery.

to me, it sounds like chris said....if he got a bad meal with bad service, he would blame the owners of the restaurant/restaurant chain because they stuck their nose into the running of the business, and NOT the bad food and service because they weren't given a chance to do well.

"Chris Stuckman is saying the only way you can get respect is to start Indie and then do big studio films" 29:15 Chris Stuckman is championing the method that Chris Stuckman is himself doing. if Stuckman were handed the opportunity to helm a 200-million feature with NO short films or Indie features, he'd be instead championing the audacity and verve of a true filmmaker with no credits but a clear, impassioned vision breaking all the rules.

The RLM joke sounds more like a friendly jab than them actually trashing those youtubers.

"I AM A filmmaker, I AM A filmmaker" amazing stuff

I guess the irony here is: Chris doesn't want to be negative or bash anyone in the filmmaking process... Unless it's a bad film and he wants to be negative and bash studios instead. Ok bruh.

He's trying to insulate himself before his own film comes out. Imagine if Roger Ebert had reviewed Freddy Got Fingered, and instead of calling Tom Green the R-word, he simply says: "I don't want to hurt his feelings, and you should be ashamed if you actually critique it."
