I think they sent you The Brown Bunny by mistake.

Is "United States of NOOOOO" really gone? I can't seem to find it online anymore.

that was a thing?
I think Jay said somewhere (probably a pre-rec stream) that it has disappeared into the ether as insanse that is this day and age
Wow wtf? That was the best thing they'd ever done. It was just on their site a few short months ago, how can it be gone?
I mean I know blip shut down but how is it there were no backup copies or a fan didn't archive it?

What was this?

early documentary/skit where they interviewed random people about the prequels and they reenacted the darth vader "NOOOOO" bit from revenge of the sith. this was before the plinkett reviews. thinking back, this might have been the first piece of RLM content I had seen.
That'd be a real shame. I hope a fan has it and can send it to them to reupload.
I found a (very small) section of it on Youtube:

With enough fan videos like this maybe we can cobble it back together like the original version of Star Wars!

So listening to the commentary track from Space Cop, they were talking about how they had made tons of footage for the movie Doc of the Dead, and almost none of it ended up being used. In their own words, they say that there is basically an entire Plinkett review that they created, but they don't hold the rights to any of the footage. They expressed a hope that Exhibit A Pictures (the rights holder to the footage) would one day release their work.
Pretty interesting stuff. I knew they had constructed the house/kitchen set quite a while ago, but I assumed it was for their own movie project (Space Cop). It's odd that they would give over full rights to their own material, especially considering that they used their own studio, set construction, equipment, actors and original characters. Hopefully that stuff gets released one day.

Space Cop has landed!
About to start watching. I will update shortly with impressions.
***EDIT-- IMPRESSIONS***
That was pretty good. Not the greatest, but fun. I lost it near the end when Len Kabasinski showed up as Rich's stunt double to fight Jay. I was hoping for more inside jokes and such related to Red Letter Media; which is why I enjoyed the Kabasinski so much. Something more along the lines of The Angry Video Game Nerd Movie.
I remember this.
Mike looked so young there, probably why he got rid of all the copies of it!

I kind of agree with them. Leo at best is a good actor. He's not a great actor.
I'll admit that I have not seen Revnant yet, but watching the trailer, I was saying the same thing they did. Leo is a guy in a costume. Hardy disappears into his role.

I pretty much disagree with everything they said besides their talk of how technically well the film was made. I though Leo was great in the film and his character's motivation for seeking revenge was fitting. Also, heavy spoiler talk without warning in this one.

It's funny because they hate the AVGN movie.

I never watch these before a movie I care about seeing, but I'm so tempted. I just don't like to go into movies with any kind of critic opinion in my mind.
Oh wow, really? How come? I guess the obvious answer is because it's a bad movie, but fans of AVGN probably mostly enjoyed it.

Jack does but we never got Jay's opinion on the movie -_________-
That's very surprising. When did they say this? Link? I thought it was a very solid effort on James' part- great cameos, fun story, tons of video game references, good production values... Not bad at all for a YouTube series spinoff, IMO. The Nerd is a bit of a 1-trick pony, but I think he is much better than some other characters out there like The Nostalgia Critic.

Thanks for replying. Today was another Space Cop-less day. But at least there is a new Half in the Bag.
In Half in the Bag related news, Turbo Kid is on Netflix which was the film Jay seemed to really like a few months back in the same episode from The Visit.

Yeah, I agree with that too. He's a lot like Tom Cruise, where his roles tend to gravitate towards "INTENSE EMOTIONAL FACE", and having a guy like Hardy do a very different and really successful type of acting right next to him just highlights it.

still waiting for the stream. Not to say I wouldn't buy the movie, but first I'd like to watch it before making that commitment lol
John Dunbar
correct about everything
they're right on the money when it comes to dicaprio. i hope he wins the oscar though so maybe everyone can then stop pretending they like him so much.
My feelings on the Revenant mirrors there's almost exactly. Gorgeous film, the technical aspects of the filming are staggering, but Leo wasn't even the second best actor in the movie and the whole thing left me mostly unaffected. Not even close to a bad movie but I'd hesitate to recommend it to a lot of people.

I thought Leo's acting was better in Django. I saw Calvin Candi and in Revenant I saw Leo in a costume. that's just me though. He was good, but as said, he wasn't even the best actor in the movie. I totally agree with them and so much of the talk about his possible Oscar seems to do with the physical strain and torture he went through, which shouldn't have anything to do with it.

Dicaprio is likely to win it because let's be honest the academy is probably feeling the pressure of an actor of his 'pedigree' being nominated as often without winning. Now they can give this to him in a year without many roles people would riot over not winning. And it could act as a collective work award. Plus so many people are rooting for him based on the production story alone. Like take a conversation with my parents on the phone
'hey woof did you watch the Revenant?'
'yeah momma and poppa woof.'
'did you like it? We sure loved it'
'oh yeah I really liked it. I don't know if I'd say anybody in it deserves an award though'
'why? Leo was amazing did you hear about all the trouble he went through to do this movie?'
They might have gone through a lot of Trouble it doesn't mean they deserve an award though.

If anything it might diminish his acting a bit, he's not acting cold he IS cold. If that can get you an actor tons of stunt people who do risky shit should win awards for best acting because they're endangering themselves for their art.

I loved their comment about Dances with Wolves. Keven Costner didn't actually eat the buffalo liver, he just acted and got an Oscar.

It was on one of the twitch streams - everyone kept asking for their opinion and they finally gave it. Jay never talked about it, but I think he feels the same.
I find it interesting because part of why they didn't like it was based on the fact that the movie was built around the ET review. Also the writing. But I mean, Space Cop seems to be in the same vein so I'm just curious if it is any different.

Maybe it's a situation they dislike the movie and the writing, but once they made their own they realize they couldn't do better? lol
Tom Hardy definitely gave a better performance in this than anyone else, but I still didn't feel it was worth a nomination.
I think I remember them saying once that they enjoy watching bad movies, but they don't enjoy watching deliberately bad movies, because if you're making bad movies on purpose, it's like... what's the point?
But just because they enjoy watching unintentionally bad movies and don't enjoy watching deliberately bad movies, it doesn't mean that they don't enjoy making deliberately bad movies.
And it could be argued that they don't make bad movies, they make the best movies they can possibly make, and they use "bad movie" as "spice" in their movies, because in small doses it's funny, and because they're making fun of their own shortcomings. And maybe if they're good enough they can put a "bad movie" joke overtop of a place where they're weak, and improve the movie overall.
I haven't seen the AVGN movie, but I've heard James went pretty deep with the "deliberately bad movie" thing. That it was a love letter to his love of bad movies. He may have gone too far in a few places.

I can't disagree with their sentiment.
I love the room.
I love birdemic
But I refuse to watch birdemic 2. Once you become self aware you are bound to try and recapture the magic which makes it fake. Or deliberately make it bad.
But if I made a YouTube channel I'd definitely do shit that was bad on purpose
