There's a spoiler time-stamp fwiw.

Also, and maybe it's a spoiler to say this, but you can't really spoil the film outside of its initial premise.
Ya, it's a lot of visual spectacle.
I can think of a several things that could be spoiled.

This, really.
It's like trying to spoil a Disney World ride or the experience of driving a Ferrari. You can describe it, but there's no way it can actually spoil the experience.

Super late on this, but I loved the "Half in the Bag: The Conjuring, Only God Forgives, Blue Jasmine, and THINGS" episode because Palpatine said exactly what I was thinking up to that point about Jay: "...he does look kind of hot with the beard now," haha.

Funny episode but thought that they were totally off base with their Gravity critique.
Okay, I watched and outside of the spoiler section I skipped I think it was okay for anyone treading lightly.
Also, I laughed hard when Jay was introducing Carrie, talking about the original film adaptation, and Mike said, "What'd you say about tits?" People who have seen De Palma's flick should get the joke.

They definitely over critiqued it (never a fan when critics talk about how they WANTED the movie to be instead of how the movie IS), but there were some good points. I agreed about the use of such huge name actors in the movie. I'm sure it did great for getting people to see the movie, but I can understand how they could feel like the characters were basically just Danny Ocean and Annie Porter.. IN SPACE! I definitely remember seeing Gravity's trailer in multiple movie previews and people laughed every time at Sandra Bullock freaking out, haha.
I liked both of them in the movie, but I can see how some new, good actors might have grounded the movie a little bit more.

i never watch movies in theaters anymore, so i guess i dont really care about being spoiled too much anymore unless its one of the movies i'm realllllly looking forward to.
anyway, gravity looks like it'll be cool just to watch, the story sounds dumb, but whatever. i can already kind of picture the whole movie in my head already.
carrie looks bad. but i'm actually going to put the original and Last Days on my netflix list now cause of this episode.

I don't see how you can say the story of Gravity is stupid. It's a very basic narrative pulled off right. Things go bad in space and Bullock tries to go back. There's nothing there to complain about because it's simply a framework for action/suspense and survival. What else is needed? The movie is good precicely because it keeps it simple, because its minimalist approach makes the focus tighter and the scenes more intense. Just do not get those complaints.

They had a few good points, I just thought that they were either overly cynical and/or inconsistent in their criticism.
They gripe about the dialog the entire time because it's too on the nose and expository but then they suggest them having a montage setting up Sandra Bullock's training. If that isn't on the nose and a bit cliche'd, I don't know what is.
I think it's also counter-intuitive to what the movie was establishing which is this pseudo-horror "floating in space" POV thing. The way the film is shot evokes horror and claustrophobia and helplessness the entire time. A visual break on earth doesn't make much sense to bolster that out of the gate.
This is an extremely personal journey, expanding the cast of characters beyond voices in the vast reaches of space, once again only detracts from the narrative core.
That's what I think anyway.

I forgot he had a beard now. I guess I just got used to it in the last video. I didn't even notice it.

Eeeeeeeeeviiiiiil! Though they could've made that better if
they photoshopped adult Rich into the old photo and zoomed in on it, Shining-style.

Best of the Worst is the best.
It's amazing how I went from not really knowing of it's existence to it being my favorite outside of the Star Wars reviews.

I think I like Best of the Worst now better than Half in the Bag. I didn't even watch the last Half in the Bag, but that's mostly since I haven't seen Gravity.
davepoobond

i like them both, but i can see how Half in the Bag is a little less "fun" because its more about movies that might be good/bad and its just jay and mike talking in a structured form.
whereas best of the worst is just the whole group dynamic and it feels not as structured and usually just plain funny since they're trying to get terrible movies done.
best of the worst feels more like a normal tv show, i suppose, whereas Half in the Bag feels like a sketch comedy thing more.
Half in the Bag also has the weakness of them not being able to show their choice of clips, just stuff that was in the trailers.
BTW, for those of you who don't check the OT, this is not directly related to RLM, but has crossover appeal...

It's a fan-edited deleted scene.
Best of the Worst is great at introducing bad movies, more hit and miss on great comments / talk about the movies afterwards. The more essential Half in the Bag gives us something sorely lacking post Ebert&Siskel, some good old fashioned movie talk with people who fit in front of the camera and know how to digest movies. Mike being good at that is the whole reason the Plinkett reviews got popular - sure there are no clips but that's not really a solveable thing for new movies and you don't want to get too spoiled either, in general.
Haha, I loved that.

Man, I don't understand the half in the bag weariness. Jay and mike are as good as ever. It would be nice if they talked about more interesting movies than the weekly Hollywood superhero garbage. I think the quality of film is forcing them to repeat a lot of the same criticisms - x actor is bored, schizophrenic themes, genre tropes, etc

the last half in the bag felt like they really didnt want to do it.
i feel like they have more "fun" with best of the worst, this one was hilarious.
i actually had that "Where Did I Come From?" book thing. The book was pretty much as weird as the video.

The editing in this episode is fantastic. My favorite part was
the abrupt cut after Rich says the boyfriend looks like the husband from Ghost Investigators.
