How she has fallen, from a girl who was loved to one that spews hate.

that stuff is pretty clearly jism

my mom bought a cpk doll from a neighbor who fought her way through those crowds. no, i didn't know better. i was a little kid, also with no friends

idk, i was drunk from the 12th clear through to november. i do recall seeing a lot of,what i was calling "the blow up show" over and over again during that period, plus, you know, i'd been living back home with my parents then... great reason to bend the elbow

u, yeah, in 1980, we had everything, some more than others, but they said there's not enough, so they took everything away, and blamed us, others more than some, as everything got worse and worse

100% true. i see through those glasses all the time

um, yeah, because before notld zombies were an entirely different thing than they are now

ever see george romero's martin? i used to love that movie when i was a teenager, but i watched it again and noticed some for real, jinky shit: there were these women coming out of a grocery store carrying paper bags, ad all these black teenagers were feeling them up, and they didn't have any free hands to stop them. i'm like what? no way. middle class white women in america? not a chance some jerk ain't gonna start a lynch mob. and you only ever see the boys. where are the girls? the only black teens in that whole town are male? like, tf you tryna say, george?

plus, idk, you ever think frankenstein, in a way, is about a deadbeat dad

Tangentially related but this is why I hate when Netflix slaps the "Netflix Original" label on shows they distribute that were produced by other companies, say the BBC. Netflix Original makes it seem like they were involved in the creative process or commissioning of the project and no. No they weren't.

She says at the end that this was a short-lived trope, but it's definitely not dead. Check out Miller's Girl. I honestly could not believe that trope hadn't died, especially after all that's happened in the past decade.

Why even pay for shit? Just take it 😂

I forgot that Love Lies Bleeding was distributed by A-24

I too remember VHS the horror movie, lol

The black woman being kicked out and never being talked about again…then him doing the same thing and everyone being inspired after that was just…wow smh. They really missed the mark. Then his love interest at the end being a part of another society made the only sorta decent part of the movie…the romance plot kinda useless lol Smdh

She has an awful nose. I'm curious and scared how it looked before operation(s).

Want to see "good" representation of poverty ? Gummo is your stuff.

We weren't the poorest, but definitely close, and I only understood how much my parents didn't have once they started to have some more - because then they stopped using certain stories to protect us. I thought my Dad and Grandfather built us lofts cos they were cool, not so that we'd all fit in a room. Assumed we always went to the store with a calculator because it made sense, that our parents cared more for our health cos we didn't get sweets and treats as often as our peers, that the "bread pudding" we made from old bread was cos my mom liked to make it.... Then when i was in my teens they got less strict about sweets, we moved and my siblings and i didn't have to all be in the same room (we still shared, just in pairs), and a stress i hadn't known was there eased from my parents. I remember my Mom throwing a mug that was chipped and giggling that she can throw something like that away now.

Sometimes, when I watch KZbin I stop being myself and want to start a KZbin channel...

PLEASE talk about american honey. never heard anyone else mention it and while it's now an interesting to say the least reminder of my 13 year old mind (now 20) its to say the least a very interesting movie to analyze

aww they sad? shiet i'll give em somethin to be sad about--

The more A24 movies that I watch, the more I start to realize that most of their styles and techniques shown in their movies were all either carried from or inspired by directors like Ari Aster, Robert Eggers, and Yorgos Lanthimos

Since you liked Peter Tscherkassky's films, you might like Stalker (1979)

What's most interesting to me is how the movie escaped from the writer and director. You birth something, all the way to the final edit, then you have zero control over how it's sold? Why? How?

It's actually hilarious. The Beckham daughter, 30yo, hot AF, decides to write, direct and star in a movie about poverty. It's like me talking about pregnancy in China in the 70s. Really, it's funny. I'm tempted to watch it though because I like a pretty girl as much as the next guy.

when i think of a24: indie feel. pretty cinematography. very-slow- to-no- plot. at least the ones i've seen

Disney does that too.

Awesome video 👏🏽

I miss this actress she makes me smile so much

the fact that the actress for the "supporting best friend" is also the actress of teddy's "black best friend", ivy, is insane.

22:58 There's always someone who wants to know what it taste like. There have been weird blobby things that fall from the sky occasionally and someone ALWAYS eats it. Sometimes they get sick, sometimes they don't. At least one time it was a poo meteorite (like from an airplane I guess)

I worked at WM for 5ish years in my early 20s.They don't call it blitz day, just blitz, but I never knew why until now. My dept was toys, and I worked two black fridays. We had to come in a 3:30 am (and I was a 2-11 employee) and got to go home when the rush started to fizzle out. They haven't started valuing their employees any more than when they let him get trampled, I can tell you that

I couldn't quite place why it bothers me when people say they "love A24 films", but you hit the nail on the head. It's a production studio... it doesn't define a creative direction. It feels like a disappointing product of extreme capitalism that people care more about a company than an artist. Thank you for giving Ti West more recognition as an auteur!!

I remember being shocked when Finnick was cast bc I pictured him as Black ! He was described as being “bronzed” iirc & I guess that meant tanned white guy to most ppl but I thought he had like mid-tone brown skin

This feels like a good companion piece to an earlier video you did about how A24 does have some stinkers in their catalog. While I do love many A24 movies and jokingly call myself an A24 fangirl, that love came from an appreciation of the studio willing to invest in/distribute original screenplays (i.e. not franchise/IP bait) at a time when those don't seem so profitable for bigger studios. And that often comes with mixed results! It ultimately depends on the creators behind these films to craft something special.

I find it...interesting how people are mad at a black Juliet yet ignore the fact that Tom Holland is the only White cast member. Also you just know these people dont give a damn about theatre or Shakespeare, they just wanna be mad

11:52 total sidebar but as a former indie level pro wrestler and historian on more obscure things (aka everything outside the WWE bubble)? its both deeply touching to have Kevin Von Erich action figures when he never got one in his active career I believe, and he was one of the very nicest people I ever met backstage so i love what better-late-than-never recognition for him... and deeply weird and sorta disturbing that they look like the guy who played him in a dark biopoc of how his while family fell apart and he was the only survivor basically (save some of his brothers' young kids). sorry if I just spoiled the movie for you, but it happened in the 80s irl sooo it's kind of like spoiling The Titanic. also, if you found yourself interested in a well told story based on the backstage elements of pro wrestling even if the shows never did (the shows are basically a mashup of just sticking a camera on a live theater performance, which is generally rough to a non theater audience but necessary because if you take out the crowd and treat it like a conversion of a drama play, you lose a main character and just have a sports action movie. plus you get these Muppets Show segments of them "in character backstage" wackily struggling and fighting to put on the show itself, which can either be fun, or cheesy, or self aware ironic cheesy depending on viewpoint)... obviously The Wrestler by Aronofsky, the Starz TV show Heels also got us two seasons of Stephen Amell who already knew how to do pro wresling surprisingly well as like a fun side gig going in so he's really convincing in the role and it was his golden child project/labor of love. if you're a true crime fan, Vice has a series called Dark Side of the Ring that is 90% people WWE audiences have never heard of. its got a lot of seasons to binge at this point, is tv docu style, has interview with a lot of people in the business who were there. because pro wresling started in the carnie circuit and outgrew it, there used to be a lot of organized crime type activity when it was more regional, and they may never run out tbh. the most famous true crime wrestling cases I've seen KZbin mainstream true crime channel The Casual Criminalist cover are Benoit, the questionable as kindest phrasing death of Jimmy Snuka's girlfriend Nancy Argento, and the unjust lack of prosecution of the Puerto Rico stabbing of Bruiser Brody in a locker room bathroom around a room of witnesses with a huge arena crowd outside that delayed the ambulance. if you just don't get the hype, I recommend here on Youtibe, Super Eyepatch Wolf's "Pro Wrestling Is Stupid And Beautiful And I Love It". I used to recommend uptomyknees' "Wrestling Isn't Wrestling", but Max Landis turned out to be kind of a jerk. if you're a "separate the art from the artist" prison you might give it a go, idk I don't run your life, he did do a really good job on explanation from a movie screenwriter/director pov which made it outside accessible.

The amount of edits of Lolita or any movie that s€xul!z€ girls like that and then the comments don't care at all and I'll see comments saying they wish to have relationships in that way💀

BETTER LUCK TOMORROW MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

God i love the outsiders 😔 the only book i would love to discuss and analyze for hours

I remember watching a Behind the Scenes video where the actor that plays the guy that kills Rue said something like “Somebody told me I’d get spit on in the street for what my character did and when I saw her (Amandla) I was like “Oh no.”

can someone recommend good movies ab similar topics that are somewhat aesthetically pleasing but not the whole point of the film?

This video addresses a real problem.

another a24 movie no one needs to see. hot summer nights. i fucking hate that movie

My SIL got so much backlash and no support when she took a job in a brown school, and I blame these movies. The conversation was basically: "Hey can you tell these kids to stop attacking me so I don't come home with bruises every day?" "Fuck you white lady, these kids don't need you to save them" She literally just took the job because she needed to be closer to my grandma, but Hollywood had primed school admin to be on guard against something she wasn't even doing

Thr South park parody, doesn't seem like a parosy anymore.
