And you can guess what film he used as the negative example or lack-there-of of proper setup and payoff


As a super fan of Tremors and consider that film one of the most timeless classics, of course this was enjoyable to see it given props for its smart writing that I often felt was overlooked because of course it's just a "monster film". But I also cannot disagree with his assessment of what is lacking in the current trend of modern blockbuster films in comparison.

Exhibit A:

 

[EverydayBeast]

Somehow Star Wars and marvel movies would be involved in a hate modern movies video, there’s all kinds of reasons to hate today’s movies but I actually found a couple of good movies.

 

[Turnt]

The Last Jedi broke some people's brains. It has been years and some people are still fixated on it.

jesus, drinker you've got to move on bud. It's been years since the film came out, give it a rest. Never liked the film, but move on already.

Could have used any, and I mean any Netflix (produced) movie here. Star Wars is just something that's known and very easy to point its flaws out.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

The lack of setup and payoff is one of modern Star Wars' least problems but overall he's spot on.

 

[HarryKS]

I like the dude, but there's nothing more try-hard than trying to overanalyze movies. He has his gimmick and after a while, it becomes stale.

 

[JayK47]

I agree. Tremors is amazing and I watch it all the time.

My wife and I were staying with her cousin about a year ago, we wanted to watch a movie and I saw Tremors on Netflix. I insisted it was a great movie and sorta forced it on the cousin. She was so annoyed until about 5 minutes in and was like “alright this might’ve been a good choice.”

It’s really great and the slow buildup to the reveal is perfect

The state of entertainment youtubers is depressing. They are making a lot of money bashing the death of hollywood but you can see just a few years ago they were so happy reviewing Infinity War.

Their Friday Night Tights streams are basically group therapy sessions lamenting the depressing state of Hollywood

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Still ragging on The Last Jedi for clicks huh? Pretty boring dude. Pull up something else.

 

[FunkMiller]

Tremors remains one of the tightest scripts of the last few decades. A truly cracking film that doesn’t get the praise it deserves.

 

[Corgi1985]

It's really not a fair comparison because tremors is a perfect movie.

 

[Melfice7]

tremors is SO good, should have stopped at 2, tops

It's a slow news week and he needs that revenue, I ain't clicking on his video.

*EDIT*
Tremors is just OK, only watched it once about 3 years ago and will probably never watch it again.

I love them all, including the series. Even that Jamie whathisname shit is still immenentky watchable. I'm gonna miss burt gummer so much. It tickled me to no end that such an anti-gun actor created such a pro-gun hero

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

Good video. It made me want to watch Tremors again. Now that's a fuckin movie.

Tremors 4 is legit one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

 

[INC]

Tremors is a perfectly balanced and paced film. It's basically one of the best AA film ever made, it's up there with big trouble in little china

A truer thing has never been spoken on this forum. It's akin to masturbation, once in a while it's fun and releases stress and anxiety, but if it's your sole diet or interaction, you're in trouble.

 

[Raven117]

This was not very insightful.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Is tremors on a streaming service in the US? Last time I looked a few years ago it was not.

 

[Melfice7]

the only flaw im tremors is that theres no way that pogo stick would just stand still like that after valentine tackled mindy

 

[Toons]

Critical Drinker needs Hollywood to be exactly the way it is.

He doesn't have food on his plate if they dont.
