I recently just watched the redlettermedia star wars reviews and loved them. But then I saw some of their “out of character” videos (half in the bag etc) and eh, lost me on the channel. They seem really smug and self righteous, and just generally were unlikeable to me. I might try some more of their in character videos sometime.

It definitely took awhile for me to get used to them after the Plinkett reviews. And they were definitely not that great when they started out, but after awhile they’ve grown on me and improved substantially. I would recommend their Star Wars Holiday Special Best of the Worst.

Eh, i think they are a bunch of pretentious snobby fucks but the plinkett reviews are great I will give them that.

I think they’re way too self depreciating to be pretentious.
But, yeah, the Plinkett reviews (all of em, not just Star Wars) are works of art. The Titanic one is particularly good. He spends at least the first half absolutely praising the film, and rightfully so. And then rightfully drags it across the coals.

All of this. And I love the original Star Trek Next Gen reviews in particular.

I’m not even giving them the first chance.

Yeah, but you don’t give anything YouTube-related a chance.

He’ll watch (some) youtube clips of TV shows, but anything made for the internet is beneath him. I wonder if he ever watched Siskel & Ebert back in the day.

I also recall this now. I suppose there are always exceptions when ridiculous biases are concerned.

Well that’s a dumb comment.

No. I have no interest in “professionals” telling me I should or shouldn’t watch a movie.

You don’t like being recommended pictures?

And I should’ve said that various forms of entertainment, internet or not, are beneath you, such as British comedy, web shows that are kind of like podcasts, and animated material from Japan.

Remember when everyone gave me shit a couple years ago for saying that I don’t automatically respect other cultures and for saying that I don’t tolerate really shitty stuff just because it’s valued by other cultures? How come everyone shits on a Japanese art style purely because it’s a foreign art form but then everyone balked when I said I don’t respect cultures that subjugate women or practice honor killing?

I can post random images too. I don’t care about what anyone thinks of anime, I just think the hypocrisy is astounding.

Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s not an art form.

The images I posted are from some of the most popular series among anime fanatics. The anime community is truly terrible.

So is Star Wars fandom as of late. Your point?
