putting Willems in the same bucket as fucking CinemaSins is a travesty, this guy’s problem is just that he’s stupid

CinemaSins’ criticisms are often just fucking incorrect if you actually pay attention to the movie

yeah just the most reddit-ass videos, total, unswerving incompetence combined with uncut, weapons-grade smugness

Discovered Willems some time ago and every video is entertaining and informative. Rare to see in the film review space on YouTube, at least as far as the more successful channels go.

You are supposed to notice the plot, characters, dialogue, and editing. What the fuck are you talking about. Literally anyone can tell Noah Baumbach from Wes Anderson from Paul Thomas Anderson from Scorsese even if they can’t articulate exactly what the difference is. That should deepen your appreciation of the art, not stamp it out!

I’m guessing since he mentione cinema sins it was less about noticing styles and more nitpicking “plot holes” and continuity errors.

Redditor, watching a film that plumbs the depths of human depravity to spotlight the struggle and beauty of human solidarity: I think that lamp was on 2 scenes ago

People want their slop so smooth it can be pumped down without risk of having to chew on anything. Nothing of substance, just the same stuff over and over again without any introspection or thought. Cum. They want cum.

Miles Davis was questioning the increasing length of John Coltrane solos and Trane answered “I don’t know how to stop.” Davis replied with “Try taking the fucking horn out of your mouth.”

I’m sure that never happened but it’s still a cool quote.

This sounds like the lead-up to why Miles Davis had a cymbal hurled at his neck

(I don’t even remember if that’s the right blues figure for that story but it does make the bit funnier)

The Redditor, in a completely roundabout way and for entirely wrong reasons, is realizing that consuming slop is completely meaningless. The next step is to stop consuming slop and find better hobbies. There’s more to this world than watching Marvel trash.

CinemaSins isn’t “critiquing” obscure French or Soviet film. They’re mostly just chasing after slop that people remember. Their most recent “reviews” include Dodgeball, Alien: Resurrection, Mean Girls 2024, and the Garfield movie.
