Happy New Year, everyone! Minor update after my previous post: due to last minute complications with hours at my day job, the original plan of getting five videos/shorts out per week may not be feasible for the time being, but is still something I'm shooting for in the future. I've got a small backlog of content that will come out regularly for the next couple weeks at least, and hopefully the situation at work will be fixed up quickly. If not, we'll keep to about 2-3 videos a week, with highlights from the latest episodes following the day after an episode premiers. Thanks for watching!

"(Insert film name here) is directed by John Doe and stars Ben Dover and Sue Doe Nym. I grew up with John Doe's films, so I was anticipating this film's release with high expectations, and Doe absolutely delivers. The film takes its time to develop the personalities of the protagonists, allowing the audience to connect with them and their conflicts on a deep level. Ben Dover really shines in his film. He surprised me with a stellar performance that really sells the character he's trying to portray. The visual storytelling helps keep the audience engaged and on the edge of their seats from start to finish. John Doe has an ability to employ seamless camera work and breathtaking shot composition that guides the narrative and contributes to the film's atmospheric tone. The musical score and soundtrack of this films also complements the visuals. The underlying message of this film is thought-provoking and leaves you thinking even after the credits roll. This film is an impressive addition to the genre. It excels in nearly every aspect and leaves you asking questions. This video is sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends. Hopefully this review makes me look intelligent while I didn't actually say anything substantial or insightful, because I need your money to fund my inevitably trash movie."

For me The First Slam Dunk was definitely up there for me. Granted I feel you need to be familiar with the franchise a bit. If you are a fan of the series you'll absolutley enjoy the movie. Its structured like a full length basketball game with intense buzzer beaters, rebounds, crunch time, ball saves and passes and 3 pointers. It's very grounded and the rotoscoping at first felt strange but you get a feel for it when the game kicks off. Throughout the game they give you flashbacks of a character from the team that didnt get a lot of exposure in the anime and so felt very welcoming for old fans. Only gripe is that the main character from the series takes a backseat as a supporting character. Apart from that is was an excellent cinema experience with incredible visuals and heart pounding game moments. Its like watching a Game 7 Finals game but with high schoolers playing. Stuckmann doesn't sell this movie at all. If I had never heard of Slam Dunk and watched this No1 pick I wouldnt have cared. Where is this guy's passion?

The movie is one of the highest earning anime films in Japan and broke box office records. It might not be Dragon Ball levels of global popularity (most animanga aren't) , but the series is an acclaimed, influential classic. What makes the film so interesting is that the manga creator himself is the director, and is able to structure and write this new version of the story in the most efficient, authentic way. The use of 3D CG allows the character designs to be as detailed as the original source without loss to the movement, dynamism and expression. A well made adaptation headed by the original creator is hard to come by, so there's good reason why The First Slam Dunk is kinda monumental

When he refused to review Sound of Freedom It felt weird considering he reviews most things that come out and resorts to retro reviews during dry spells. Then he made a video about parents in movies and it was kind of like wtf is going on here. Kind of lost respect for his as a movie reviewing channel if he decides avoid movies for seemingly political reasons. He didn't even have to give it a positive review and just say its a taken clone.

Suzume hits even harder with context. Remember all Major Shinkai Movies have ties to certain dates or times and there's always a natural disaster of sorts. My cousin's Japanese Girlfriend watched the movie with us and cried a lot throughout. When we got out of the cinema she said that the natural disaster in that movie has ties to Fukushima and the earthquakes at that time. Makes you view the movie from a whole different perspective somehow.

hearing wolf's voice again is just heavenly

Chris Stuckmann sounds like he's reading a script constantly. There's just no joy in his voice ever. He lacks emotions. He never sounds excited, sad, angry, etc. He just sounds like a teenager who's faking being depressed even when he's praising things. Also, John Wick 4 is the best one in the series. It'll be the worst one in the series if John Wick is brought back from the dead though.

Even his cells are so unmotivated that he looks like he's melting. His atoms don't have the motivation to resist gravity.

Never understood the “hype” around Stuckmann. He is not charismatic. His delivery is dull, soulless, and monotone. All of his film reviews are “corporate-approved” safe. Nothing he says makes me actually want to watch anything.

As I got older, I noticed something that has ... made me feel extraordinarily uncomfortable. I used to watch a lot of youtube and pre-youtube content. Nostalgia critic, everyone here should know him, his site, other creators, inspirations and controversy. But I liked him. I had friends who liked him. We, as children, had running inside jokes based on him. And it's not JUST him, there's many more. Yet time passes, and you start seeing stuff that, like I said, is disturbing and uncomfortable. I no longer have ties with those friends. There are hundreds of jokes in my head, that no longer make sense to anyone but me. There are dead and deleted channels, content that has been wiped from the face of the earth, that I half remember, but very fondly. It is pure nostalgia. It is a segment of my life that I can never have back. It's gone, but not necessarily dead. I can still enjoy some ocasional TotalBiscuit. I sometimes check out an old nostalgia critic video. I still watch zero punctuation (and more recently fully rambolic or whatever on second wind) Chris doesn't fill that same hole, because I realized many years ago how vapid he is and I can never look back at him with respect. It's kinda like realizing someone is a cuck. Nothing before matters, that single realization paints them in such a poor light, all you can feel is pitty and literally nothing else. But at some point in time, I guess, he was on that same list. Nostalgia. I watched him because I used to watch him as a child.

He wasn’t always this way

I remember a few years ago, one of my friends started talking about youtube reviewers. Anyway, he mentioned the Stuck was his favourite. All I said was, "Can you tell me anything that he has said about anything?" I have never seen someone have a realisation so quickly.

This dude has millions of subscribers

He wants physical media to thrive so he can have people see his name quoted in the back of the covers. "White knuckling." "Edge of your seat." "It made me cry."

If you told me Chris' script was written by ChatGPT I would absolutely believe it.

Metal's voice coming out of Mauler lol

To answer Rags' remark on Star Wars being retitled "A New Hope," George Lucas had always wanted to call the original 1977 film "A New Hope", as an homage to the old film serials of the 1930s, like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. There is even a draft dated January, 1976 that has the new hope subtitle on it. However, since the film's budget came from Fox themselves, they insisted that the film was just called Star Wars because they felt it would've confused the audience had it been titled the fourth part of an ongoing story.

@tyrannozilla

4 ай бұрын

Okay, I did look more into it after writing this comment and found a revised fourth draft of the script dated January, 1976 that just called the film "Star Wars: A New Hope" with no Episode IV in there. However, on the commentary track for the DVD of the film, Lucas did state that he wanted to call the film Episode IV, but Fox wouldn't allow it. I know that was said after the fact and I'll have to take it with a grain of salt, but he's still the primary source, so I'll take his word for now. Also, even though it was nearly 20 years before he decided to make the prequels, the earlier drafts of the script to the original film had some of the blueprints of what would become the prequels. Even Palpatine is mentioned in the draft as well as the novelization of the 1977 film. Oh, and one more thing. Just because I was a little misinformed in my last comment, that doesn't mean I'm "mentally ill." I think that was pushing it a bit too far.@@awhellnah__

The words "Empty platitudes" and "Mindless catch phrases" spring to mind. To quote from Lawrence of Arabia, which Chris would use his originality to call "epic" and "sprawling", "You answered without saying anything. That's politics."

I just love the lady losing it everytime the transition shows up 😂😂

Chris Stuckmann has basically become so nutless at this point that it's become a clown show. Back in the day, even in the same year where he made that Blade Runner video, he at least had some bite to him when he verbally trashed films like Resident Evil: The Final Chapter and The Emoji Movie. Nowadays, there's no useful insights from him whatsoever about any piece of cinema which he talks about, because we just know now that he won't say anything negative about a film when negative insights toward something are how we're able to decipher what makes a film like Godzilla Minus One so good and why a film like The Flash is a colossal pile of crap.

during the covid lockdown I listened to Stuckman often and i loved the get stuckmanized line and all. then after he mentioned making his own movie he just suddenly became so bland that until all these jokes about him, i totally forgot about him

So, Stuckman was kind of my gateway into the more relevant critics (like Mauler and Drinker, etc...). I got to a point where I just wasn't getting anything from his revues, or all I had to do was check which of his facial expressions was on his thumbnail and I knew exactly how the video would go. I don't know if he still does Hillariosity? Those I liked, but he slowed down on those and I haven't checked his channel in years. I like the long form essay style Mauler and EFAP (I think the Soma review was the first Mauler content I watched and it was awesome!). Also, for anyone who watched Stuckman a while back, I found it kind of weird/funny how it seemed like every movie he was getting more and more tatted.
