Very late to this, but bald Terrance Zdunich looks like Jeff Bezos

I like the idea that because it was a true tie, they wouldnt have died at the end. That's why it starts after Helene decides to keep the game going

I literally love the way you think. Love how much emotion you've got in your voice as you talk about the widow. Earned a subscribe from me.

If you like Linday Ellis, you'll like this!

From what little I've seen doesn't he also yell that he made the vow for her?

That rant in the middle about how women are overly sensitive towards their fear of public violence was really weird. Really came across in a surprisingly tone deaf way. Saying "fucking nuance" repeatedly really didn't make it any better.

I would looove to hear you talk about “Why Women Kill” after watching your crime fiction video ❤❤❤

Came for the "oh hey I remember watching that movie years ago, I think I liked it well enough?," stayed for the nuanced and thoughtful discussion of what we do about compelling art made by awful people

its funny to see people seeing actors as humans, you have flaws, he have flaws, i have flaws, if you wont see anything from anyone into child shit, homophobic shit, racial shit, etc, etc, etc, i have a bad new about pedowood for you...

i thought he qwas creepy, after the video i think hes a alright guy

The other thing I found most uncomfortable part of The House on the Lake is that Casey is just Carrie Fisher.

Okay, I did finally start the audiobook for My Heart is a Chainsaw after watching this video like a year ago, but I can’t remember exactly what you said about it, so I guess I’m rewatching this later tonight.

I've been lostening to this, expecting you to be a huge youtuber. Im so suprised you are not Thank you for sharing these thoughts and a personal story

How much effort would it have been to render Uberta’s hair brown for the flashback scenes?

He said graves? I always thought he said it's my job to steal and rob more....

I own a Blu-Ray signed by TZ, Bill Moseley, and Nivek Ogre, as well as a TDC poster signed by TZ and Darren Bousman. Around the time that TDC came out, I met TZ at enough events in a short time that he came to recognize me. I became friends with a shadowcast member who was close enough with TZ to have his phone number. Hell, I was in the room, just to the right of the camera frame, when the video from the event where he spoke about Paris was taken (the one where you can see the seat backs in front of the videographer, at 1:13:14 and elsewhere.) All of that to say, I was disappointed but sadly not all that surprised when I read fallforfables' blog post.

I will say on the subject of knowing how to deal with periods before you get them, at least in the US there is no consistency on if you’ll actually get that info. I remember being separated to learn about periods but there was no practical tips or practice. No guides for putting sanitary products on, nothing on how to read packaging, no mentions of how to find the right products for you. It was basically “you will have a period. Some people have heavier flows or longer periods. You’ll probably have cramps and mood swings” and then sending us away. It was also only once in fifth grade, and our next health class that would cover it was in 8th grade when most of us had already gotten our periods and had to deal with it. That was also the first time anyone told me about periods and it was literally two months before I got my first one. That being said looking back I could see the female teachers put in charge of teaching us were upset they didn’t get more time to go into detail, but that doesn’t change that it didn’t really prepare me. I got my first period and didn’t even know how often I was supposed to switch pads or the difference between pads and tampons. Much less the names of parts of my reproductive anatomy. I got my first period while I was away from home overnight and I sure as hell didn’t think it would happen soon enough that I should’ve brought sanitary products. I hadn’t even seen a real pad or tampon before.

I just want to point out that if you can fit 3 campers and 1 counselor into a four-person cabin, as long as you have 4x cabins you can easily rearrange the set up to have one cabin of counselors and 3 cabins of students They did not need to pull that cabin shit in LTIL and Sager didn't even do the basic math to realize that

Every time I come back here I have to stay for "reading on her lunch break-----eughhhhhh" hahaha

Genuine suggestion: if the problem you run into with D&D is the endless rules, there are tons of other ttrpgs you could try. Kids on Bikes/Brooms is one I’d definitely suggest, or Monster of the Week. Things that have far simpler rules and basic character sheets. Imo they’re often better than D&D and can be much more flexible irt story and setting.

Picnic at Hanging Rock is very bleak but also really really good, by the way

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!! didn't know abt the Red Door song!

i don't understand the another brick in the wall bit, can someone please explain it to me?

re: the last section. My fourteen year old girl ass who was panicking over why I didn’t like boys yet convinced myself on MULTIPLE occasions that the boy who annoyed the living shit of me must be my crush for real this time Spoiler alert: it was not a crush. I am very aromantic. My feelings were near identical to the ones I had for my annoying cousin, but non related boys and girls hating each other is surely the first step to true love

The race difference was what made the whole thing unforgivable for me. It is fiction and takes place in a historical fantasy yes, but the show is not made in a vacuum and is being watched by real world people. And sexual assault of black men especially at white hands has been and still is such an unaddressed rampant problem. I don't think there should be no problematic behaviour in fiction. Everything is free reign, but HOW you choose to portray it makes all the difference and that's where I think Bridgerton dropped the ball massively.

17 minutes in and a lot of the inconsistencies you complain about are actually explained. Like zydrate, like opioids is managed by doctors for surgery. You get it then get addicted then need it on the street or need more than the doctors can give. And amber wants to pay in otherrrr ways cause her dad doesn’t like her being addicted to Z so she doesn’t get money to pay the dealer. Like ok complain cause lord knows the movie is worth complaints but you’re not making valid complaints. And I don’t even like the movie, I’m watching cause it was suggested after a Jenny deep dive, go figure. Good lord.

*guilty of getting friends into Repo*

Bullying is not cute and is not okay. Boys always bully me, but it was okay because that means they liked me. I have terrible relationships because I thought it was okay and normal to mistreat your female partner.

I came across repo through an else/pitch edit video back when i was in like 8th grade and its a rabbit hole ive never escaped from

This was a very eye opening and educational video essay so thank you for making it and putting the effort into researching the info in this video

By the way, I'm sure you're right about everything you said in this video, but also, Thor movies are based on northern mythology, and the gods in northern mythology inherently kinda Bi

29:05 GRAAAAVEEEESSSS

Why king Max looks like a World of Warcraft generic human NPC?

I do want to push back on your criticism of “Chase the Morning” just a bit. I think Mag’s whole situation is a pretty classic deal with the devil. She does benefit from having the eyes and she also has a career through GeneCo, but every benefit she has comes from a corporation that not only keeps her from being free, but keeps *everyone* from being free. Choosing to give up everything she gains from GeneCo, including her neat cyber eyes (and I guess her life lmao???), would be a meaningful arc in the hands of better writers. But forgive me for nitpicking your nitpick, lol. As someone who watched this movie when I was an edgy teen and who feels a lot of nostalgia for it, I think your criticisms here are overall really strong. One of my favorite videos to rewatch while I’m cleaning my house.

Your video almost perfectly reflects how I thought about That szene, I would just add another layer: In 1810s logic a marriage exists to procreate. In catholic ceremonies even nowadays you have to agree to try for children to even get married. It's not just trust, their marriage might be invalid. It's one of the only reason you can get a divorce back then and in would be like your partner just having the divorce papers laying around

Watching this video after having seen the movie is so funny. Especially the parts where you’re talking about the LA ReImperatour dates and knowing what happened at those dates now and the lore implications for ghost

1999 My dad thought I was gay for acting in rocky horror picture show. I wish repo Was in my grasp I would have played an epic grave digger. And with oh so much joy😅

Much like insidious:the red door , the end credits to this video are the best part. (Not shade the kazoo is so fun)

LMAO I wont lie I love the idea of Child Laura being utterly FLABBERGASTED that a movie based off a book didn't follow the book closely enough xD also I will never get past his character absolutely having his design based off Disney's Robin Hood's Prince John xD NO ONE CAN TELL ME OTHER WISE!!!

I'm pan, legit I had to get a pan flag and wear it to work like a cape just to get people to stop assuming I was just weird and autistic I'm weird, autistic AND pansexual. Now stop asking me if I got any tail Bill, I'm too socially inept to get any at all. (And yes, I was diagnosed as such.)

You see I love repo but god, the music is shockingly bad, the lyrics.... The singing... Even a professional opera singer couldn't save it <\3

Did you know this film was produced by Yoshiki... That was the most shocking fact to me

Theyre basically Def leppard and REO speedwagons goth love child 😂 and im here for it

I have definitely watched almost all of these

First of all I think I realized with this video this movie greatly contributed to my “hard to get flirting” I have done my entire life. Also probably also helped contribute to me enjoying beating my friends at cards. Along with the fact I learned most card games at my grandmothers knee.

Odette is iconic.

How is this long haired funny not haha looking boy

i felt kind of vulnerable at times watching this, because i can see many of the problems with the excerpts shown, but i can also easily put myself in the shoes of the guy who wrote them. it's not utterly incompetent, you can imagine the author felt proud of many of those often-clumsy turns of phrase. and sometimes there are bits where it's like, "maybe it's because i don't have the full context of the book but i can't quite see what's 'wrong' with this." and those are things that are scary to think when you're watching a negative review. like, oh god, i also have the capacity to produce bad art, and the places where it will be worst are the places where i won't even know there's a problem because they fall outside my own knowledge and experience. i could make something i'm proud of and then watch others chisel it down to its every flaw, both the mistakes i know i made and the ones i was clueless about but your conclusions are heartening and i really appreciate them. Sager's books aren't bad because he's a blithering idiot or a talentless hack, they just don't have (whether due to circumstance or decision) the kind of incubation period that would allow them to be something more fundamentally "good." time and outside perspectives are the two things that can nearly always make a creative work better; and with more of those poured in, more revisions and research and review, this guy's books could be something "properly good" too. being a "good artist" isn't something inherent that you either are or aren't, it is a result of practice and learning and lots and lots of work i appreciate the acknowledgment of the value of "bad art" too, both as a learning tool and the innate value of stuff that's fun and not overly demanding. sometimes i want to consume things that are going to edify, provoke, make me feel big huge feelings, make me reconsider how i look at the world or myself. but if that was the _only_ stuff i ever imbibed my head would explode. sometimes you just need something that's comfortable, enjoyable, engaging, without demanding every neuron in your brain be running at full blast the whole time and i think there is important value in embracing bad art as a creator, too. because if you're going to make stuff, you're gonna make some bad stuff along the way. especially when you're first learning, but duds and flops are going to continue being a part of your output as any kind of artist for as long as you make art. worse yet, the more you learn and create the higher your standards get and the more of your work recontextualizes itself to you as "not as good as you first thought." and if you're living in terror of making something that sucks, that's going to paralyze you. you gotta just make the damn thing, and sometimes the thing will be shit, and being able to take that in good humor and accept that not everything will be Your Best Work, is kind of necessary if you want to ever get anything done and make the things you care about making. (thought slime's video "You'll never be a good enough artist." makes this same kind of point but Better and More and i think it's a good watch for anybody reading this who struggles with that feeling of perfectionist paralysis)

I personally love the Devil's carnival movies, but I think the sequel/prequel is very confusing plotwise. Other than that, I think its a fine enough movie. Songs are fun.

my mother told me what a period was when i was about 9, but it wasn't until i woke up on a saturday with blood in my pyjamas that she explained what, specifically, to do about it
