i thought the flask thing was funny enough. it was a little weird, but they always do that "fade out the interesting stuff and focus solely on the stupid thing" thing

They're a half hour for big releases or two regular ones, so 18 minutes for this seems fine to me.

They filmed a review on mount everest though. That's real devotion.

They've been shorter, and there've been fewer this year.
But the real issue is the crappiness of the plot line. I loved the past plot lines

I hope they do something cool for Halloween.
And that they love Crimson Peak

There will at least be a BotW and a commentary for Nightmare on Elm Street.
Damn, do they archive their streams on YouTube or are those more of a "highlight reel"? I wanna hear this discussion
There's an archive on Twitch and they eventually crop them and upload them to YT as well.

Whether or not they like The Martian or Crimson Peak or whatever, are we all in agreement that this year's HitB has been the worst thus far?

..Hell no.
Nope. They're as good as they've ever been. Mike's as funny as he's always been etc. The only change I've noticed is Jay looking better and better.
I don't really care about the side plot stuff though.

But that was a good chunk of it. And there's been fewer episodes, I think. I'm not saying HitB sucks, but there's been less and worse episodes this year. Or maybe movies this year have sucked more. I dunno.'
Random old question: I wonder if anyone at RLM has seen the great short film Lucas in Love, a parody of Shakespeare in Love.

Your attempt to get agreement backfired.
And no. While they haven't been the best they aren't the worst either. I actually have really liked the ones with Jack and rich as they did them for big movies like avengers 2. I was going to say that some of the wheel of the worst haven't been the best but then I remember that one with the singing kids. And I laugh.
As to not getting as many episodes as before well once space cop is out i doubt they'll want to do another film for a while so they're likely to focus on the site again. Does RLM even have a patreon?
What does that even mean?

Damn they can all live fairly comfortably and keep the business running without issues.
I was triggered when I saw the video still for. Missing cast members do that
From 12k a month alone? Run both the business and pay everyone full salaries to live comfortably seems highly improbable.

bad gameplay lol
Well, with the Patreon and what they get from Youtube/ads and such, and the contract work they get (commercials, etc), I'm sure they're fairly well off. I know RLM is Mike, Jay, and Rich's full time jobs, at least.

Depends if it's the full time job for everybody and whether they live together and where. The biggest issue would come from the office space costs.

So I wonder if they saw Everest on the release list and basically built the next series of reviews around building that crappy mountain top set... because they just seem to be ignoring a lot of other movies for these ones that I don't know anyone cares about.

The movie looks like a dollhouse. The colors, the clothes, the props, the sets. Everything looks like it's too perfect. It's hard/impossible for me to take a movie seriously when even the most basic things take me out of the immersion of it being a real world. Also everything is too pristine and ornate. Like the scene in the trailer where the lady walks around with a puffy dress. All the outdoors scenes look compact and tight, with odd unrealistic lighting as if it's all a theatre set. Literally no scene in the trailer looks normal or real, but rather everything looks like a hundred artists kept overworking details in without ever being snapped out of it. Even the dirty bathroom scenes look like they were dirtied by an artist.
That's what it means.
tldr; It looks like a Tim Burton / Johnny Depp movie
OK, I see what you mean. That's fine and I respect your opinion. It's a period movie (a romanticized ghost story at that) that definitely wants to evoke theater or opera, and the color palette and look is reminiscent of Mario Bava's Gothic horror. It's just weird to me because a lot of movies are not supposed to feel like "a real world" either. Feels off if you would write off a whole bunch of movies for that.
And I resent the Burton comparisons ;P I think GDT is a bit more interested in substance behind his designs than just wacky, saturated worlds. But that's just me again.
Where I disagree is in the outdoor scenes. They might be staged a bit tightly (again, keeping the genre in mind) but they look open and real to me. (Judging by the 3 seconds of footage there is out there)
Most of the movie will happen inside the house anyways, I think. Which is a real house built top to bottom and not a collection of sets, something I personally appreciate.

I think Mike has made his drunkenness into a full-on shtick so people don't notice he's getting progressively drunker and drunker.

Fuck the pain away
Listening to the Jurassic Park commentary track for the hundredth time and I love when this happens Jay says "When she left, she should have said 'See ya ladle'".

Why aren't these hacks making a commentary track per month? I'd get behind that with all my monies.

I have to assume that their interest in making commentary tracks is in some way tied to the amount of money they currently bring in from commentary tracks.
I have to wonder how many people are really buying the audio file for these things. They are easily worth $1 IMO tho.
I've listened to most (I thought of renting Samurai Cop once, but I need to get together and watch that one with someone else) but I have to admit I've only paid for a couple of them. I'll buy a few more to support them a bit.
...
I forgot to ask before, when they were talking about Everest and how the Asian lady died, etc. were they referencing specific reviews or something?

Nothing that I can find the only controversy is the whole inaccurate plot by the book author which they also addressed.
Off topic: Has nothing to do with RLM:
Saw this on reddit, it's pretty neat. A video of young Spielberg reacting to Jaws Oscar nominations.
EDIT: Wait I saw this on GAF. What am I doing?
Back on topic: RLM related stuff:
Rich has a funny laugh.

Besides who'd want to watch a Len film written by a couple of hack frauds?

As long as Len sticks to his style of having every shot be a close up on a canted angle, it will be a classic!
