Wow, Jay finally grew a backbone and stood up to Mike. Mike must have been embarrassed being contradicted at every turn by Jay's ripostes.

Jay (((Bauman))).
mike simply knows shit about horror, it's not really his fault.
I imagine Jay is like me, where I have to know BWP1 to defend it from dumb pleb cucks like Mike
Mike confirmed for being a pleb.
Go back to /////reddit/////////// plebs.Watching two nerds talking about movies?What are you, gay?
Read that is Mike's voice :)
Mike is too cool for school is the take away here for me
Jay... well he's enthusiastic and bearded, but that doesn't make up for the fact that he will always be Mike's wittle buddy (and cuck)
He didn't fucking do shit to defend his points, he basically kept repeating the same thing over and over again. No, retard, that's not how good arguments are made.
They should have just found the river and followed it downstream
generally i agree with jay and prefer him over mike but mike kind of kicked his ass in this episode. badly.
i wanna say jay tried.. but he really didn't. and he blew a good showing in the escape from ny one too by saying escape from la sucked. retard.
even the independence day one (which they both hate) had mike outpointing jay even though neither did a really great job there either. oh well. weird because jay has seemed stronger on half in the bag lately too..
rich evans >> both of them
>liking blair witch
it's obnoxious idiots screaming at each other in someone's backyard. If you like it it's because you saw it as a kid, right?
who, jay or mike?
The Blair Witch Project is one of the best pleb filters of all time.
>using the (((meme))) wrong
Sup Forums is literally becoming the new Sup Forums, where little shits just come to steal memes without learning how to use them.
Mike likes very by the book, no weird shit screenplays. He wants simple three act story structures, common sense plot points, clearly defined and identifiable protagonists, etc. He doesn't like it when things deviate from his expectations of storytelling formats.
Jay likes weird shit. He likes it when shit's weird.
Just like your dad?
damn, Jay standing up to Mike is awesome
and notice how Mike shrivels up into a little ball when confronted
aww
No mike will go on endlessly about sci-fi weird it otherwise jay will do the same with horror it's that fucking simple
except all of his autistic sci-fi review videos basically boil down to "the plot is poorly structured and the characters are poorly defined and inconsistent"
>Muh imaginary e-celeb power struggle
You faggots are pathetic. They're just friends discussing a movie.
thats cause basically all modern sci-fi sucks, and they never review the few good one's because everyone but mike and rich would have no clue what their talking about
This desu senpai
>it should be established that you die if you find a stick figure in the woods
Jesus Fucking Christ, Mike.
>I took a big group of friends, dozens of people
Jay... nobody believe that
You faggots realize you're not watching Movie Fights right? It's not a competition. It's two guys discussing their views on a movie.
He has a point, even if his example is retarded. The legend as presented wasn't really much of anything. And adding any sort of rules or laws to a witch story isn't weird, because incantations and spells are all very specific. Like, down to the pronunciation of words and their layered meanings.
They go to do a documentary about a legend but the legend itself is never described outside of "there is a witch in the woods." Well, what about the witch in the woods?
Just because you don't have friends doesn't mean your pretend e-celeb friends don't, loser.
(((You)))
who fucking cares? holy shit. why do you want to know about a witch. there's nothing they could do that would actually be compelling and not completely ruin the illusion of it being authentic found footage
Of course the movie doesn't establish all the rules. You're seeing snippets of footage recorded by college students, not a traditionally structured feature film.
>why do you want to know about a witch.
If it was a real documentary based on real folklore than there would have been an explanation by the filmmakers of what the witch legend was.
By never explaining what the Blair Witch is, or what it's thought to be, it makes the movie feel less authentic.
It's not a documentary though. Did you even watch the fucking movie? It's random home movie footage of three people making a documentary.
Now I want to see a Bigfoot documentary where they never explain what a Bigfoot is.
you're telling me that the fact that you saw no witches makes it seem less realistic?
its clear you don't actually believe that and you're just arguing the point for fun
thank's rich you fucking faggot go die.
Film knowledge:
Jay > Rich > Mike
Film understanding
Rich > Mike > Jay
Entertainment understanding:
Mike > Rich > Jay
You know The Blair Witch Project isn't a documentary, right? Your entire argument is founded on something that is totally inaccurate to the movie. Fucking dumbass.
I thought they said enough about it. There's a spirit of a witch in the woods and a guy who murdered people there claimed that he was possessed by her, that's really all you need to know for this thing to work. I think Mike said the ending with one of them looking in the corner had nothing to do with the witch legend but it does through that possession claim.
Rich should literally be at the bottom of all of those.
No, it's because it was a really good movie. The best in it's found footage genre. It's mostly improvised, actors were good and it uses horror well. It isn't filled with jumpscares, but it makes you fear the unknown. It gives you really little in terms of the Blair Witch and the whole mistery surronding it, direction is also really good for a found footage movie. And it had a memorable ending. Now fuck off from this board.
Daily reminder there is no such thing as a Jewish last name. Unless you're name is Cohen. Names you think are Jewish are German or Polish.
LET ME EXPLAIN THIS FOR YOU
MIKE WASTED YEARS OF HIS TIME AND MONEY ON FILM SCHOOL
WHERE THEY TEACH YOU THAT ALL MOVIES MUST FOLLOW A CERTAIN FORMULA
MIKE GETS MAD WHEN PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH BREAKING THE FORMULA HE SPENT TIME AND MONEY ON TO LEARN FOR NO REASON
HE GOT HOSED
Who wants to see the witch? How are you getting that from this?
Has a character describe the fucking legend. That's it. And considering that the preamble parts of their never-completed documentary are presented... that fact that they never mention it is kind of weird.
WHO WAS THE BAD GUY?
I THINK IT WAS MARY BROWN CAUSE HER WOODEN FENCE LOOKS LIKE THE STICKMEN
The acting is fucking dogshit. Best in the genre? I take it you haven't seen Cannibal Holocaust.
>b-but that one doesn't count!
YOU FUCK OFF
It is a documentary, at least at the beginning before it all goes to Hell. Maybe you haven't seen the movie, because the first chunk of the movie is spent in the town explaining who Rustin Parr is.
No, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about early in the movie, when they're farting around the town making the documentary. The part of the movie where it really is a documentary. They don't even explain what their subject is before going into the woods looking for it. We just hear vague stories about how there is SOMETHING in the woods. They never explain the folklore of the Blair Witch.
I know it's not a documentary numbnuts, but it's PRETENDING to be one. That's the whole point. It's shot like a documentary and it's unscripted but because it breaks such a huge and obvious rule of documentary filmmaking (explain what the movie is about within the first five minutes) it breaks the illusion of the rest of the movie.
lol you don't know anything about film school
That's the movies biggest strength, you fucking plebeian. By not showing you the mysterious entity, you don't know what to expect and that creates tension in those shots where the camera is aimed at darkness.
It's not about some power struggle, it's just that usually, Jay tends to back out on his arguments when challenged by Mike. This time he actually stood his ground. Which is a good thing. We get to experience both of their perspectives, pick sides. Makes for a more interesting conversation.
>considering that the preamble parts of their never-completed documentary are presented... that fact that they never mention it is kind of weird.
Why is that weird? They filmed two segments of the documentary and never any more because then they got lost in the woods. It would be pretty convenient/less realistic if they just so happened to give all the movie's exposition out of the way in the couple of tiny bits of the documentary they actually filmed.
Sorry to say that I do, I went for a year and bailed because it was bullshit. Good luck to you though
>I only read the first 30 pages of this 300 page book but I know exactly what I'm talking about when discussing the book
>usually, Jay tends to back out on his arguments when challenged by Mike
Because usually they're discussing recent release movies that neither of them give a shit about. Blair Witch is clearly a movie Jay legit likes. Of course he's going to defend it harder than whatever generic new capeshit they're discussing. He did this same thing with Escape From New York.
It's actually more realistic if you recall that almost no movie is shot scene-for-scene. They were doubtlessly planning to make a first trip in the woods, go back home to film more expository shit, maybe interview some scholars who would explain the whole legend, maybe go back in the woods again...
Do you think every film school in the country operates exactly like the one you went to?
>They don't even explain what their subject is before going into the woods looking for it. We just hear vague stories about how there is SOMETHING in the woods.
Even disregarding the fact that this approach is objectively better than the "lets explain everything for the retard" route you'd prefer, it's a found footage movie you fucking mong. They didn't finish making it.
seriously though why the fuck would you want more explanation of the folklore? did you want some fortune teller character to explain the entire thing to you?
>that part where they find the ripped shirt with goodies in it
got to me last time i watched it
That's a false equivalence
You don't need to take every class to know that they're all bullshit. A better analogy would be, taking a bite out of a hamburger covered in shit. You don't need to eat the whole thing to know it is shit.
Yeah that analogy works and isn't retarded at all. I can see why you're in film school (you're a retard)
There's no "think" about it, that's the way it is. I'll be generous and even accept your anecdotal evidence to the contrary, providing you actually have any
I know James Cameron the truck diver didn't need it, faggot.
>dozens of people
he said a dozen people
While I'm fine with the legend not being fully explained to me, I would have really liked two or three extra random little tidbits of lore about the witch.
You know, just random stuff to get my imagination racing even more when I'm watching those teens lose their shit in the middle of the night.
Space Cop is a good movie.
Wow samefag is upset
Don't ruin user's imaginary view of his pretend friend Jay's personal life that he has no actual knowledge of
I agree with mike on this one there is a big difference between being vague for effect and a movie that reveals absolutely nothing making the audience feel clueless
I haven't seen the movie in a while but was there not a woman they interviewed at the start who could have been a witch, her features resembled one and I remember seeing a theory about ages ago
You're the one getting all buttblasted that I said your film school is a waste of time and money kid
review seems to be the jay show though. He's been in every ep and has liked every film except id4 which he loved to hate. It'll be more interesting when they do a movie mike likes and jay hates. Probably never happen though
The thing you and Mike wanted, the backstory and context in which the film footage was found, was aired on television as a "real life" documentary called the Curse of the Blair Witch prior to the release of the actual film. It's also on the DVDs and should be required viewing before you watch the damn movie just so people like you and Mike can stop crying about not having everything explained in the found footage itself.
>Mike and Jay have so minor disagreements
>WOW JAY IS FINALLY STANDING UP FOR HIMSELF GET REKT MIKE
Sup Forums blowing things out of proportion again, you niggas are so addicted to e-celeb drama that you're trying to concoct it out of nothing.
Anything to distract yourselves from own pathetic lives I guess.
But Mike was right, though. That movie was gay, even in 99.
entertain the idea that they were making the documentary as curious people themselves because they didnt know what the blair witch was and the documentary's purpose was to clarify what the actual folklore was. before the movie, there was no folklore but then after the mysterious nature of the death of the college students, the folklore was created. does it really need to be defined by a set of rules and principles? using your imagination is what made the movie so unsettling in the first place, creating your own folklore and the mystery surrounding it works much better than being force fed some contrived piece of shit that the creators tell you it must not be deviated from.
>wahh people are talking about things on a message board
poor baby
>He's been in every ep
Not the Ghostbusters one
>Anything to distract yourselves from own pathetic lives I guess.
>Sometimes I wonder... who the real cannibals are
Cannibal Holocaust was awful.
Blair witch could have really benefited from on camera animal slaughter though, maybe some titties, get something going at least
You sound like you have a pole up your arse.
That woman was really dead, please, don't disrespect her sacrifice for italian mondo film
Why is Mike so boring?
Bauman is German you Sup Forumskiddie.
Why is Jay so beta, awkward and cringey?
Why is Rich so terrific?
Why is Jack so pure?
Where does Mike get this je ne sais quoi, this inscrutable allure?
>You should go back in time or buy the DVD and watch another prequel if you want to enjoy this movie
kys cucksumer. blair witch was just a nice little viral thing at the dawn of the internet, it's shit now and it was shit then but it used viral and 90s fags propensity to believe everything that looked legit
((()))'s are a joke meme, you sensitive little faggot.
Jay folded like usual when Mike pulled out the "IT DIDN'T AGE WELL" card. He is still Mike's boyslave.
This all sounds very important to you. Perhaps you may want to think about getting a life of your own instead of creating fanfic power struggles between internet personalities.
Or just kill yourself.
Either one.
Jay get off Sup Forums
And yet it was important enough for you to reply.
is it true that Jay sucked Mike's dick once just to "prove" he wasn't gay?
>once
yeah, the idea was that if he was gay he would want to keep doing it.
