I live in a town in southern New Mexico where Ari Astor is filming his new comedy Eddington. I am amazed at how well A24 seems to spend their money. A couple of years ago Disney/Buena Vista came to town to make a streaming only film, and they had a literal army of people out here. They seemed to spent loads of money compared to what A24 used. I think Disney has gotten so big, that their internal bureaucracy works against them. It's good to see A24 thriving, I just hope they don't get too big and unwieldly.

Actors, writers, producers, companies. There are lots of ways to know whether or not a movie is worth your time without having to watch it. For example: Anything with Brie Larson or Phoebe Waller-Bridge? Never worth your time. Kathleen Kennedy involved? Save your money. If it has the Disney logo on it? Skip it, you won't be missing anything. If the trailer/press makes a huge deal about the gender/race of the main characters? It's trash, guaranteed. Review embargoes, NDAs, news of constant rewrites and re-shoots and sundry other production problems are all potential indicators of poor quality as well.
@HearUsOut22 күн бұрын
Thanks for checking out the video and taking the time to comment. I don't think I could skip anything with a Disney logo or that involved Kathleen Kennedy, for example Guardians of the Galaxy 3 was one of my favorite movies last year. As for Kennedy she was involved in some all time classic from ET to 6th Sense so there is too much there that I love. Brie Larson has been involved in some not great movies but she can definitely act and was great in Room. I've not seen Phoebe Waller-Bridge in anything but the last Indiana Jones movie (which was shockingly bad) but I have Fleabag on my to watch list, I've heard nothing but great things. Is she a bad actress? - Patrick

@@HearUsOut I'd caution against keeping the rose-tinted nostalgia goggles on. Kennedy may have produced ET, but she was also behind all the recent Star Wars movies, and they were hot garbage. The same thing applies to Disney. They _used_ to make quality films, but now they don't. If you're not willing to ignore Disney releases, just check out Dial of Destiny, or the Solo movie. Fleabag is pretty insufferable in both. Her talent for making me not want to see her in anything else is astounding.

Mixed results when film tv makers base work on books and then deviate with their own notions. VERY excited to see something [almost] completely new. I wonder if they are going to give more backstory to Gollum's/Smegal's race to round Harfoots and Hobbits? They're more simple and less advanced/sophisticated than Hobbits in the book. His character is also not liked even by his own people. Very intruiged. Or, is this going to be a weird telling of him killing and eating orcs and making us feel sorry for him and blaming all his fallacies on the corruption of the ring... Is Gollum going to have a love arc?! Relating back to your video on projects having too much money... This needs LESS money than RoP. Don't know about more oversight...

Jackson/Walsh/Boyens have a lot to atone for, and must surely want to reclaim their reputations, so I am hopeful they will be making an extra effort this time, and will have learned from their mistakes. At least this will be a single film, not a bloated trilogy. At its best, this could be a film such as The Hobbit should have been, although there isn't much original material to work on, and J/W/B haven't shown much skill in adding their own original material in the past. I don't see why a Gollum story set between Rings and Hobbit couldn't also include extensive flashbacks to earlier times. That could be cool. And I'm not particularly concerned about Serkis' background as a director - in films of this scale it is really about the screenplay and support from the studio, not the director. Mortal Engines didn't bomb because Christian Rivers was a bad director, it bombed because of bad choices made by J/W/B, and I imagine it will be the same with this film...

THe rise of skywalker made billions. That was a win for hollywood. We need to hold to higher standards then that as a vieewing public. We should demand better writing and acting and everything with the amount of money these hacks like synder get. Less is more. We should stop praising hacks who create pretty colored terds and demand we like them because it's "Edgy". The rings of power is a prime example of this. One billion and the production quality is terrible with horrid writing and hideous fan fiction. With that kind of money, amazon could make their own world. Same with lucas himself. He can make his own world. We need to stop giving shiny turds a pass. 300 was a cool moive but by no means is it historically acurate or remotely solid story telling. It was guady fan fiction at best.

Zack Snyder's movies are a blatant waste of millions of dollars. His films are poorly written, visually uninspired, and devoid of any meaningful substance. It's style over substance.

It's an outrage that Snyder continues to receive such staggering budgets for his subpar work. It just makes me sad.

My simple answer is the over use of spectacle and not concentrating on compelling character arcs and cohesive narratives. There is this urgency to introduce too many characters in a single story. You need to ask the question if Snyder could make 300 and Superman what made him fail in Rebel Moon 1& 2? What he lost along the way? He failed in the story telling. But he is not the only one, JJ Abrams who did Star Trek, spoiled Star Wars. WHY?? It boils down to directorial decision. Why director lose their vision? Too much money to burn?
@HearUsOutАй бұрын
It feels like they get lost in the creation of a new world because at that level, they snap their fingers and talented artists render it into on-screen reality. There is no creativity problem-solving involved, which can then dictate how they can proceed. I would like to see Zack get 15 million dollars and not be allowed to use any CGI. Let's see what he can make. That would be a test! - Paul

I mean, he failed in the story-telling with Superman too. C'mon, "Superman" had no agency in either movie, he died then was resurrected long before he became beloved so the world mourning his death made no sense, had no emotional resonance... and of course, the entire "Man of Steel" movie is just a mismash of stuff Snyder thinks will make "Superman" seem cool along with subverting who Superman is, incorrectly thinking his subversion will resonate with an audience... in the end, "Superman" kills Zod, after having been trying to kill him for a half an hour, and Snyder's like "can you believe 'Superman' killed Zod?" Like... yeah. For the entire movie you've been telling us this character is a teenage edgelord, he never had a father who taught him the sanctity of human life. The entire movie Snyder is "this isn't your daddy's Superman, this 'Superman' is edgy and angsty" and then at the end, he expects us to be surprised that he's edgy and angsty? He expects us to be surprised that a character who is taught to value his own secret over human life decides to kill? Pathetic story-telling, just pathetic.

After this a peace is established. But as allways Weyland-Yutani has spies that want the xenomorph for their biological weapon program. And it is a surprice who the spy is. And that Weyland-Yutami has a lab on a spacestation not far from the xenomorph planet. Where they finds forms of xenomorphs that noone has seen before.

Thanks for the vid. Plemons played a right wing character and the president pledged his allegiance ‘to god and flag ‘ also right wing tropes. So it’s not really ambiguous who is in charge. But other characters were clearly left vague on purpose.
Thanks for checking out the video and taking the time to comment. On an individual level there are definitely assumptions that can be drawn, the decision to not focus on how we got here (and by extension who is right and wrong) is what made the movie work as a whole for me. It is a criticism I see from many, but had they explained the entire backstory I would have found this a much less engaging film. Glad to have you watching us, hope you like some of our other stuff too. -Patrick
I live in a town in southern New Mexico where Ari Astor is filming his new comedy Eddington. I am amazed at how well A24 seems to spend their money. A couple of years ago Disney/Buena Vista came to town to make a streaming only film, and they had a literal army of people out here. They seemed to spent loads of money compared to what A24 used. I think Disney has gotten so big, that their internal bureaucracy works against them. It's good to see A24 thriving, I just hope they don't get too big and unwieldly.
Thanks for taking the time to comment and sharing that first hand experience. I'm with you, I hope that A24 do that most difficult of things, stay successful with out giving in to bloat that has ruined many companies. Looking forward to hearing from you again, feel free to share any experiences you have with the folks that are filming in your town. - Patrick
Reminds me of Wilberforce's review of Darwin's On the Origin of Species. "This is a mix of the new and the good, but what is new is not good, and what is good is not new." Except there isn't anything good.
I think this is one of my favourite comments. - Paul
Actors, writers, producers, companies. There are lots of ways to know whether or not a movie is worth your time without having to watch it. For example: Anything with Brie Larson or Phoebe Waller-Bridge? Never worth your time. Kathleen Kennedy involved? Save your money. If it has the Disney logo on it? Skip it, you won't be missing anything. If the trailer/press makes a huge deal about the gender/race of the main characters? It's trash, guaranteed. Review embargoes, NDAs, news of constant rewrites and re-shoots and sundry other production problems are all potential indicators of poor quality as well.
Thanks for checking out the video and taking the time to comment. I don't think I could skip anything with a Disney logo or that involved Kathleen Kennedy, for example Guardians of the Galaxy 3 was one of my favorite movies last year. As for Kennedy she was involved in some all time classic from ET to 6th Sense so there is too much there that I love. Brie Larson has been involved in some not great movies but she can definitely act and was great in Room. I've not seen Phoebe Waller-Bridge in anything but the last Indiana Jones movie (which was shockingly bad) but I have Fleabag on my to watch list, I've heard nothing but great things. Is she a bad actress? - Patrick
@@HearUsOut I'd caution against keeping the rose-tinted nostalgia goggles on. Kennedy may have produced ET, but she was also behind all the recent Star Wars movies, and they were hot garbage. The same thing applies to Disney. They _used_ to make quality films, but now they don't. If you're not willing to ignore Disney releases, just check out Dial of Destiny, or the Solo movie. Fleabag is pretty insufferable in both. Her talent for making me not want to see her in anything else is astounding.
Mixed results when film tv makers base work on books and then deviate with their own notions. VERY excited to see something [almost] completely new. I wonder if they are going to give more backstory to Gollum's/Smegal's race to round Harfoots and Hobbits? They're more simple and less advanced/sophisticated than Hobbits in the book. His character is also not liked even by his own people. Very intruiged. Or, is this going to be a weird telling of him killing and eating orcs and making us feel sorry for him and blaming all his fallacies on the corruption of the ring... Is Gollum going to have a love arc?! Relating back to your video on projects having too much money... This needs LESS money than RoP. Don't know about more oversight... But do you ever think that someone not related to a film or tv project needs to come in and ask: "What are you actually doing here lads?"
Theme suggestion: Adult animation - terrible adult animation films? I just need SOMEONE else to watch 'Lil Pimp' and tell me I'm not mad thinking it's actually kind of fun?
I was not aware of Lil Pimp, one google later and I'm excited to watch it. Bernie Mac and William Shatner in an adult oriented animation, how gave I not heard of thus before! - Patrick
@@HearUsOut Rapid Review in the works ;)
LOVE Mad Max but the plot in one line: We went for a drive and went home early.
Hellsing Ultimate Abridged. Alucard goes for an enthusiastic walk.
Hahaha a walk for the ages - Paul
If I could, I’d pay him not to make movies.

Jackson/Walsh/Boyens have a lot to atone for, and must surely want to reclaim their reputations, so I am hopeful they will be making an extra effort this time, and will have learned from their mistakes. At least this will be a single film, not a bloated trilogy. At its best, this could be a film such as The Hobbit should have been, although there isn't much original material to work on, and J/W/B haven't shown much skill in adding their own original material in the past. I don't see why a Gollum story set between Rings and Hobbit couldn't also include extensive flashbacks to earlier times. That could be cool. And I'm not particularly concerned about Serkis' background as a director - in films of this scale it is really about the screenplay and support from the studio, not the director. Mortal Engines didn't bomb because Christian Rivers was a bad director, it bombed because of bad choices made by J/W/B, and I imagine it will be the same with this film...
A well written and considered comment, thank you. It is definitely a shot at redemption for Jackson & Co. It sounds like we are all hoping that they can use something like flashbacks to show some Gollum back story. I remain positivly apprehensive! - Patrick
THe rise of skywalker made billions. That was a win for hollywood. We need to hold to higher standards then that as a vieewing public. We should demand better writing and acting and everything with the amount of money these hacks like synder get. Less is more. We should stop praising hacks who create pretty colored terds and demand we like them because it's "Edgy". The rings of power is a prime example of this. One billion and the production quality is terrible with horrid writing and hideous fan fiction. With that kind of money, amazon could make their own world. Same with lucas himself. He can make his own world. We need to stop giving shiny turds a pass. 300 was a cool moive but by no means is it historically acurate or remotely solid story telling. It was guady fan fiction at best.
Rise of Skywalker made $1 billion, clearing what is believed to have been $300 million in profit. Which is terrible when Disney paid Lucas $4 billion for the franchise. They still haven't made a profit from that.
It’s ambiguity adds to the mystery of the movie
Great movie!!
Agreed 👍 -Patrick
Let's be honest, Wolverine will save the MCU, not Deadpool. I mean, people will watch it because of Hugh Jackman, not because of Ryan.
I agree that the bigger pull will be seeing Hugh back in yellow. But I think the combo will increase it as their chemistry is amazing! -Paul
Deadpool was great. Deadpool 2 was just a copy and paste of Deadpool, even reusing the same jokes. It had tons of characters that literally served no purpose other than an opportunity for wade to tell a joke. So im guessing Deadpool 3 will be Deadpool 1 and 2, but with Wolverine.
That is fair, but it did further cement its place in the xmen universe to me that is important in the wider MCU as it will be the point merging them. But I agree there was many reused jokes. -Paul
@HearUsOut yeah I could never really get into marvel movies. Too much action, not enough acting. But the first marvel movie I saw in a theater was civil war, and I was told later that was probably the worst one to start with because it was pretty much nothing but action. It also bothered me that it was supposed to be about captain America vs Ironman, but the movie was mostly winter soldier vs black panther. Just felt like one long advertisement for upcoming movies.
I really liked the films soundtrack.
It's something we didn't get to talk about, but I liked it too. The song choices were bold and offbeat, which I think suited the unsettling nature of the story. Thanks for the comment 👍- Patrick
Yeah we gonna give you 200 million for this movie Zach Snyder: give me 300
That is pretty much any director trying to get as much as they can, but it feels like zack is like, "Give me 200 million and then 100 million, so I can do a 4 hour director's cut." - Paul
You are really letting Snyder off the hook way too much. He's *known* as an interesting visual story-teller, but these movies LOOK LIKE SHIT. And are remarkably visually uninteresting. Seriously, think about why the good guys won. Because they slow-motion walk down a hallway shooting and the bad guys just can't handle that? Just... it would be hard to make a less interesting movie.
I'm not sure we are letting him off the hook. We do say how boring this looks, it looks like every other zack snyder movie. There is nothing new in this movie to make it good or passable. - Paul.
@@HearUsOut I'm not saying us in the comments, just seems like the general Zack Snyder discourse continues to give him *some* credit for his visuals.
"It could feckin' happen..." should be on the poster 😊 Great review, by the way. Subscribed...

Not given too much. The unforgivable mistake was that he was given money at all.
Sense a dislike for zack and his movies. Is there any of his work that you like? -Paul.
@@HearUsOut Maybe 300? But I've been over Zack Snyder since Man of Steel.
ALIENS was made with 18 milion dollar.
Yes and it looks amazing to this day! It used smoke and mirrors literally. -Paul
CGI and green screen makes directors lazy. The best movies are the ones where the directors had to be creative and had adversity.
TERMINATOR (1984) was produced for $6.4 million
I would be more open to seeing the movie if the director didn't open his mouth on NPR and said it was somewhat a response to the jan 6 "insurrection." So pretty much the movie is propaganda for leftists who fetishize political schizm. No thanks. I already get that shit in real life.
I'd still recommend watching the movie before making a call on what it is. One comment by a director won't ever cover a whole movie. Martin Scorsese said Marvel movies weren't cinema, and as much as I disagree with that, it won't stop me from judging his movies until I've seen them. Thanks for watching our video and taking the time to comment. Different points of view are important. - Patrick
Zack Snyder's movies are a blatant waste of millions of dollars. His films are poorly written, visually uninspired, and devoid of any meaningful substance. It's style over substance. Meanwhile, the legendary Francis Ford Coppola has to finance his own projects, showcasing the industry's misguided priorities. It's an outrage that Snyder continues to receive such staggering budgets for his subpar work. It just makes me sad.
I agree, I liked some of Zack's earlier movies but it is confusing how at this point he gets the backing. I can only guess that his fan base is still strong enough to get him the bucks. But I feel that after this I don't think he's as bankable as he once was. It is upsetting now movies that could give us interesting plots and compelling story/characters are being ignored for flash in the pan "Blockbuster" Movies. I look forward to seeing Francis Ford Coppola Megalopolis but it's got such a challenge to find distributor! - Paul
@@HearUsOut IVe never liked synder's movies. He's always been style over substance
The closest thing that was a scary movie based on a real war was 5 Days of War by Renny Harlin. Of course with a much lower budget and Val Kilmer.
And now that is on my watch list😀. Thanks! - Patrick
Hi guys, great job on this Live... Can i ask what did you use to do the graphics and the disposition o the photo on the layout?
Thank you for your kind words. We use OBS for our live streams and use it for all graphic layouts. The thumbnail is just a composite made in photoshop. Thanks for watching, and I hope we hear from you again. - Patrick
My simple answer is the over use of spectacle and not concentrating on compelling character arcs and cohesive narratives. There is this urgency to introduce too many characters in a single story. You need to ask the question if Snyder could make 300 and Superman what made him fail in Rebel Moon 1& 2? What he lost along the way? He failed in the story telling. But he is not the only one, JJ Abrams who did Star Trek, spoiled Star Wars. WHY?? It boils down to directorial decision. Why director lose their vision? Too much money to burn?
It feels like they get lost in the creation of a new world because at that level, they snap their fingers and talented artists render it into on-screen reality. There is no creativity problem-solving involved, which can then dictate how they can proceed. I would like to see Zack get 15 million dollars and not be allowed to use any CGI. Let's see what he can make. That would be a test! - Paul
I mean, he failed in the story-telling with Superman too. C'mon, "Superman" had no agency in either movie, he died then was resurrected long before he became beloved so the world mourning his death made no sense, had no emotional resonance... and of course, the entire "Man of Steel" movie is just a mismash of stuff Snyder thinks will make "Superman" seem cool along with subverting who Superman is, incorrectly thinking his subversion will resonate with an audience... in the end, "Superman" kills Zod, after having been trying to kill him for a half an hour, and Snyder's like "can you believe 'Superman' killed Zod?" Like... yeah. For the entire movie you've been telling us this character is a teenage edgelord, he never had a father who taught him the sanctity of human life. The entire movie Snyder is "this isn't your daddy's Superman, this 'Superman' is edgy and angsty" and then at the end, he expects us to be surprised that he's edgy and angsty? He expects us to be surprised that a character who is taught to value his own secret over human life decides to kill? Pathetic story-telling, just pathetic.
It seems people are describing the movie that they wanted it to be rather than the movie that they actually saw! ☆☆☆☆☆ ❤'d it! Great review! ❄ 🌎 ❄
Thank you so much John. Great comment which perfectly sums up my issue with some of the complaints. Hope to catch you on the next video, thanks for taking the time to comment. - Patrick
This movie is a beautiful example of an empty signifier. The left likes it, the right likes it, even Russia likes it.
Some of the left and right seem to hate it too. However, judging by who they are, that might be because they profit from negativity no matter what the topic. So I'd say your point stands. Thanks for watching and taking thetimetocomment. - Patrick
I think that is the point. It’s a commentary about the idiocy of modern political discourse.
Alien Rez > Alien > Aliens > Alien 3 (assembly cut) > Prometheus > Covenant.
What is it about Alien Rez you like so much? Is it the style, characters, or plot that grabbed you?
@@HearUsOut 😟 the cinematography, the filter that yellow ish dark, the dark slimy aliens design, they spit acid/swim/grabs you through floors, they’re very smart overall, the cg and practical fx were very peak; the ship design, the hallways and the runway edge lights, some rooms in this ship are extremely massive which I loved, though I feel like they could’ve done more e.g. the prison arena room where the aliens were being captured; the way some shots are taken when the camera twirls at you when smth imminent e.g. when Vriess roams the hallways and shoots off the alien above him the acid falls onto his right ear, then he starts shouting; the kitchen underwater scene by far the best action scene in all alien films, the newborn the scariest alien design by far in all alien films because of his human like emotions which made it even scarier, and for the first time an alien made me cry at the end which never happens, probably the most disturbing scene in all movie history; the music compositions/orchestra where every song feels like marching apocalyptic songs, two of my favorite “the aliens escape, and they swim”, and we finally get our ripley’s theme song which is f cool. I loved the plot with the WY company being bought by Walmart😆, I loved that they remade Ripley through hard work and finally managed to clone her, they had their dna hers and the alien queen’s dna from Alien 3 at the end because they put what was left of them on ice, I loved that USM Auriga had all sorts of equipment medical, lots of weaponry, lots of tehnical stuff, even a gym, lol! I loved Call that she was designed to care for humans just like Bishop from Aliens, and assassinate people like Ripley which was considered to be hostile and dangerous and nevertheless a clone with alien dna, I also loved that the us military bought the people in cryo sleep chambers from the mercenaries for experimental purposes, very freaky!! The characters I feel they all did their part right! I really wished Elgyn would live just a little longer😣, he was cool, I loved Christie & Johner the most they were the balls of steel and the fun ride! Everyone from the Betty had their diverse expertise some technical skills, some engineering and mechanical skills, some navigational skills, others combat skills and weapons specialists, they were a fun crew to see in action, and I had a blast watching this film, since I was 7 and even now in my 30’s, I’ve seen this film about 50 times more or less, they would show this film a lot on tv when I was little, and watched it purposely much more when I grew older.
The marketing paid off, and making the movie apolitical certainly helped with getting more people to watch. Personally I think that’s a cop out because while I’m not on either side, I at least want something to take away from a war movie that is obviously politically motivated. I don’t mind either message in movies as long as the message is relevant and expertly conveyed. But I still think the movie was good.
Thanks for watching and especially for taking the time to share your thoughts. I understand your feelings and although I've heard similar perspectives I think you articulate that point of view better than anyone else so far. I guess the reason I don't feel not picking a side was a cop out is that the message was still very strongly political, just not in line with an A or B agenda. Highlighting the outcome of allowing politics to run away from common sense creating tragic absurdity that could only be a result of ignoring humanity for political ideology was the point in some ways. Glad that we both enjoyed the movie even though we had slightly different reads on it. Cheers for sharing and I hope we hear from you again. -Patrick
@@HearUsOut Patrick, your response to this comment is thoughtful and generous. As for me, I don't watch movies for a political message. For that, I will watch a political speech. I felt like this movie almost belongs in the horror genre.
Thanks Freda, I'm not sure if I said it on air or off, but I made a similar statement about this being closer to a horror thriller than a political commentary. Comments from people like you make my day. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts. I look forward to hearing from you again - Patrick
There was a lot that this movie could have delved into as the reasons for a civil war. None of that was mentioned except that the current POTUS was on his 3rd term. This just became a very violent road trip by 4 journalists from NYC to DC with lots of random, violent situations thrown in. Even at the end, the WF and other rebel forces had all the tanks, attack helicopters and missiles while the defending Federal Forces had none? How is that possible that the US Army had no tanks or Apache copters left to defend the White House or didn't evacuate the President to a safer location?
For me, the movie could not have been what it was if an explanation of how things got where they did had been given. I wont argue against the idea that there are some plot holes. The President not being in a bunker is an example. However, absolute accuracy and fidelity to 'real life' is not the point of the movie for me. Thanks for checking out the video. We might not agree completely but still very much appreciate you commenting. Hope to hear from you on another video. - Patrick
Because the Prez had lost all support, except for those who had no road back.
@@HearUsOut or that the WF soldiers would just execute an SS agent who had her hands raised in surrender. Then go on to drag the President out and just shoot him too. Unbelievable!
The way the movie avoids politics is masterful. A good movie makes you feel something and this one did that

@@HearUsOut oh sorry yes it was
I get where you are coming from the practical effects of the Alien would be better but used in combo it could be really good.
My idea for an Alien5 movie is as follows: It takes place after alien4 and takes places on an earth in ruins. TheRipleyClone has transformed into an entity that is producing eggs,and a lot of humans are affected,and a war breaks out.They have to use a nuke on the swarms of xenomorphs and decidedes to travel to the planet where they think the xenomorphs orginate from.There they find there are multiple forms of xenomorphs.They manages to form a clone of a xenomorph that is able to communicate with the the help of a microship surgerized into its brain. After this a peace is established. But as allways Weyland-Yutani has spies that want the xenomorph for their biological weapon program. And it is a surprice who the spy is. And that Weyland-Yutami has a lab on a spacestation not far from the xenomorph planet. Where they finds forms of xenomorphs that noone has seen before. And that's makes a cliffhanger for a possible Alien6 movie ?
