It's like a mumblecore movie. Everyone's talking over each other...

>It's like a mumblecore movie. Everyone's talking over each other, everyone's miserable and it's gray and it's about people dying in a fire.

Is this the most embarrassing thing that's ever been said on RLM?

what's really embarassing is your frequent shilling of these losers

LMAO so salty

Mike doesn't like intentionally depressing movies because it reminds him too much of his real life and he wants movies that can be used for escapism

>loves force awakens
>hates manchester by the sea

Youtube critics are shit

Stop obsessing over these guys you fucking loser.

WHERE ARE THE EXPLOSIONS

Seriously though, mumbling dialogues should be banned from movies

Mike has dude-bro taste in movies. Jay is a little better. But at least these two have some technical knowledge and can discuss movies and break them down with their criticisms and praises on actual technical levels beyond "it was so good, the acing was so good, it was so awesome" or "it was so bad, the acting sucked, it was so stupid"

10 years ago, I would've agreed with you, but I'm super done with dour dramas like this.

do they hit too close to home now?

Yeah. Kinda like gay porn does for you

incredibly weak comeback desu

>people watch youtube videos of middle aged men, who give their opinions on movies

I'm so glad I'll never reach this level of pathetic.

Nah. I just realized how dull and unimaginative they are on screen. The style is better suited to theater.

He's not wrong tho

I laughed you pretentious faggot

>Daisy Ridley was charismatic as HELL in that movie.

As apposed to Siskel and Ebert?

Normies and kids like Rey. He's not wrong

Mike's taste: safe, formulaic, simple, happy, non challenging, non experimental
Mike's guys: Spielberg, Lucas, Abrams, Nolan

Jay's taste: gore, independent (as long as it's horror), formulaic, fedoracore, "weird" but non challenging, non experimental
Jay's guys: Carpenter, Raimi, Romero, Cronenberg, Dante

They have enough foundation film knowledge to know when the boxes aren't checked but they aren't creative and they have no vision or ability to think critically or conceptually. They can talk for 40 minutes about all the ways that the Iron Man 3 script failed to make a safe, formulaic action adventure story but ask them to review anything even remotely outside of that comfort zone and they're fish out of water.

You can see this in any of the "reviews" that they've done of challenging or non blockbuster films like Manchester by the Sea, Boyhood, The Master, Inherent Vice, Tarantino stuff, Refn stuff, etc. It's either instant repulsion and deflection to nitpicking or "I liked it because it's weird" followed by a quick subject change. They have no ability to analyze or talk critically about film as an artform.

As opposed to posting in a thread about the posters posting about middle aged men giving their opinion on movies?

Mike is a simple guy who enjoys films as "entertainment", which is a pretty basic ass opinion of the medium but atleast he is honest to his taste.

Does Mike think that Robert Altman and Mike Nichols made "mumblecore" as well?

Jay loves PTA and they both really love Fincher and Wes Anderson so I commend them for that at least

PTA is great but if you pretend like you understood the plot of Inherent Vice then you're lying, it's almost intentionally unintelligible

Did they talk about Manchester By The Sea during the La La Land segment of the newest HITB?

Mike saw it and I believe said literally just the OP quote and nothing else

normies and kids like unboxing videos and casey niestat

I remember in their arrival review Jay said he loves Villeneuve, but didn't see Sicario because he wasn't "interested in the subject matter."

He saw Sicario. He said it was good despite that he didn't care about the subject.

>Breaking: manchildren fail to understand movie with artistic merit

Not really, considering he thought it was really good immediately after that. He just felt the movie was a little too dour for his preferences.

Dumb dumb.

Don't bring reality into user' autistic RLM circle jerk bitchfest threads. It's the only way he can attempt to feel better about his empty life.

Why is RLM so deathly afraid of flavour of the month movies?

who's ready for the 1 minute long Jay and Plinkett make out scene at their "wedding" next half in the bag? I can't wait for the part where Jay plays the bitch

But he liked Manchester by the sea

thanks user

Is this the most embarrassing thing that's ever been seen on RLM?

is there a screener out of lalaland ?

>an adult man can't tie his necktie correctly

I kinda get what he is saying tho.

I dislike the kind of twee indie movie that plays the soft piano keys to go with bland art school student establishing shots while the story is overly concermed with the (not very interesting) emotional and moral plights of boring, self important whiny white people

Usually they always contain shots of people riding bikes for some reason

Shit like Short Term 12 is so cringe to me but this movie honestly looks decent

Are you kidding? That's literally what they do all the time, only it's worse because idiots like you think they're actually being knowledgeable for some reason. Jay literally says "the cinematography was gorgeous" in the last review without actually explaining what he means by it, which makes no fucking sense. Cinematography can't be gorgeous, and anyone who understands cinematography knows exactly why that statement is so meaningless.

At least he isnt as bad as mike. Mike bless his heart seems really out of his depth sometimes. He has been watching movies for a long time and knows in his gut what he does and does not like but does not know how to articulate it well at all

They are both failed movie makers for a reason. But i still enjoy their content

What did Mike mean by this?

{CITATION NEEDED}

>Sup Forums is finally starting to grow out of RLM
Good. They serve their purpose as time-killing Youtube entertainment, but anyone serious about the medium quickly recognizes their analytical skillset is very limited.

not even close. Everything that comes out of beardfat's mouth is way more embarrassing.

Wtf i love Mike now

mike and jay are my friends, I could listen to them talk about the weather.

He didn't say he hated it. He said it was a movie that's designed to win awards, which has been an observation of many films for decades now.

It's not like they're writing essays, dude. They just make silly videos. You know what Jay meant.

Because it was your own shitty joke, of course you laughed. Dumb nigger.

>it's almost intentionally unintelligible
It's not almost, it is 100% intentional. Read the novel.

The call that saved RLM.

He probably hasn't seen anything by them. He would rather get drunk and waste his time on earth watching bad movie that he ultimately doesn't even enjoy. But to each his own.

marlon brando was the biggest mumbler in hollywood.

reddit tier cuck kys

>mike and jay are my friends
kek so this is that famous autism that characterizes RLMfags.

MIKE IS FAT

Do you even like what you post?

How hairy is Mike's chest?

see

what? they ARE my friends and I will find them.

>artistic merit = whispering and mumbling for 2 hours

OUR GUY

OUR GUY

That's not Mike and you know it.

>THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE IDIOTS WHO HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT

>a movie that's designed to win awards
Because a film wants to be a serious drama and not escapist capeshit or comedy, it is automatically "designed to win awards," aka Oscar bait? Fuck off with that shit.

>the creators of Spacecop think they have the authority to call other movies boring

>"There's a lot of exicitment, there's a lot of buzz and it doesn't make a lot of sense to me because I have no interest in intentionally shitty movies. The best bad movies are the ones where the people making it didn't realize they were making a bad movie."

- Jay Bauman, director / star of Space Cop on someone else's movie

The movie's shit, but it's obvious it's not supposed to be a "so bad it's good" movie. They've always been clear that it's a goofy no-budget comedy.

>Mike's guys: Lucas

ok

I don't think they are knowledgeable, exactly. Just they can get into the mechanics of things like pacing and script issues a bit better than most of these types of reviewers. I don't think they should be teaching courses on film or anything.

>I can't stand the idea of people liking these reviewers whom I do not like!

Every RLM thread lately.

You hipsters hate anything as soon as it gets even remotely popular. Sad!

The funniest shit is that Mike is a power bottom but projects it all on hapless Jay. The entire crew is scared to death of Mike, even his friends. The man is savage.

How do I get Mike and Jay to convert to Islam and make meme videos about the glory of Allah?

>PTA is great but if you pretend like you understood the plot of Inherent Vice then you're lying, it's almost intentionally unintelligible

It's Pynchon, that's the point. Life in this world is just layers and layers of convoluted meaningless conspiracies and systems all heightened by paranoia and drug use, the only thing that's real and meaningful is simple acts of genuine unironic goodness like helping Owen Wilson unfuck his life.

Mike and Jay can't check their UNDERSTOOD THE PLOT box so they argue that it's a "bad movie" because their scope is so limited and they have no ability to think critically or conceptually and understand that the deliberate meaninglessness of the plot is used to convey an idea.

These are the type of people that gave 2001 and Mulholland Drive poor reviews upon release. IT DOESN'T CONFORM TO MY NARROW FILM SCHOOL RULES SO IT MUST BE BAD.

Agreed here. It wasn't about the "plot". It didn't make sense because Doc was paranoid and high and making connections that weren't there, and we were experiencing it through him. I felt like at it's core it was about the "dopers esp". There were losses that Doc hadn't gotten over that were still effecting his thoughts and actions.

well they did say that they didn't read the book. they are after all film people.

Another example of this is Jay disliking Blade Runner because "it doesn't emotionally connect." Well done Einstein, it's almost as if it's a movie about fucking robots in a dystopian mega-metropolis where individual human identity is meaningless.

>he doesn't know mumblecore
Your post is the most embarrassing thing on Sup Forums.

>defending mumblecore

and now your post is the most embarrassing thing on Sup Forums
