I can't believe I never thought about some movies as being a scam before.


Caminante Nocturno - 2011-11-22

It was and still is one of the most popular theories behind Uwe Boll's career.


Randroid - 2011-11-22

Boll's financial methods and cinematic abortions are at least somewhat honest scams.

Really opens your eyes to Hollywood business.

I've kind of come to accept that most of popular culture is a race to the very bottom of lowest-common-denominator hell. When I was younger I always expected some sort of general outcry over the lack of quality and shameless pandering that infiltrates most of today's music and movies and television, but it never came. Now I mostly drink.

I'm not sure if I want to watch a review that lasts half the length of the movie it's reviewing. I think that goes in the category of common sense rules alongside "don't eat anything bigger than your head" and "never go on vacation with only one pair of pants."

I'm ten minutes in and there hasn't even been a joke yet. Maybe this thing wouldn't be an hour long if they didn't speak at the pace of a stoned teenager in philosophy class.


Adham Nu'man - 2011-11-22

Yeah this one sucks, Plinkett's reviews are excellent though.


snothouse - 2011-11-22

Just watch the 2nd part. It's worth it.


dek863 - 2011-11-22

Totally worth it.


Adham Nu'man - 2011-11-22

Yes, you were right, second part is good. 4 imaginary stars.


fatatty - 2011-11-22

It could be shorter, funnier and better paced but I was entertained. And really, these two guys have broken down the modern movie business better than anyone. This is a public service.


memedumpster - 2011-11-22

Boring as hell, but the second part does make a big point that's worth seeing. Unless you're a glutton for setup, you can skip the first part.


jangbones - 2011-11-22

not for everyone but I find deconstruction of absurdity very amusing and ended up watching this whole fucking thing


FABIO - 2011-11-22

It's not the best, but it's the closest we have to Filthy Critic now that he's gone.


Riskbreaker - 2011-11-22

While i'm not a big fan of their Half in the bag format, you guys should really watch the whole thing.


CornOnTheCabre - 2011-11-22

it's not a "review," it's analysis. Why would you want to listen to criticism that had the same substance of an Adam Sandler movie?


joelkazoo - 2011-11-22

This is great stuff.


hammsangwich - 2011-11-22

Meh, I don't agree with the premise that it's a scam. People are giving Adam Sandler money to make this. They know where every nickel goes. They expect to make their money back, and if that is because stupid people go watch his movies, more power to them. Going to a movie is not like paying your water bill, you don't have to do it.


Spit Spingola - 2011-11-22

Scam may not be the right word for it, it is a very good investment for Sandler's backers. It's just pretty amazing and obscene that a movie can cost this much yet look so cheap and be nothing more than a string of commercials. In fact, most of the Happy Madison movies are budgeted at about 80 million and they're all cinematic diarrhea.

Mambazo - 2011-11-22

Oh wow, it's an video review site that features dudes who actually just calmly and rationally discuss a film, highlighting obvious points that help build to more obscured, but still logical and interesting conclusion. How novel.

Where's the fake rage played up for the sake of comedy? Where's the ceaseless shouting at an incredulous plot point?


jyrque - 2011-11-25

You know, I knew something was missing. This is the internet, film critics: get on with it. How do people know theyr're supposed to agree if you're not screaming your points out?


Quad9Damage - 2012-01-02

I'm actually digging Red Letter Media's mellow, straightforward breakdowns. It IS refreshing to see. Although there are actually some Channel Awesome reviewers that I enjoy, the constant screaming and "fuck!" streams (especially the Nostalgia Critic, who either needs to tone it down or just quit) are way past their expiration date.


Xenagama Warrior Princess - 2011-11-23

One day the execs will eventually decide that with the purchase of every Adam Sandler movie ticket comes a free trope checklist so the audience can play along in order to make up on lost revenue.

They will be trailblazers and call this new format Cliche Vision.


Quad9Damage - 2012-01-02

Coke cups neatly lined up in a row.

A Royal Caribbean ad spot.

Katie Holmes being given permission from her overlord to stand around and do nothing for cult money.

Racism.

A movie where virtually nothing happens, not even routine cliches, except farts and animal cruelty.

I haven't seen "Jack and Jill," but I'd wager this review is infinitely more entertaining. I'd rather eat myself to death (Se7en style) than watch that piece of shit movie.


FuzzyxPickles - 2013-11-18

not sure if this reviews meant to be really "funny"
