Ryan Reynolds should have been the main character and Seth should have been Ryan Reynolds character as a quick cameo for the guy working behind the scenes.

[@DeplorableMinecrafter]

Or make Seth what he described himself as - the guy making fun of the hero's shirt from the sidelines.

[@coldcryptid]

Before I watched this video I saw the movie and that genuinely bothered me lol Ryan Reynolds is just so much more likable (in my opinion)

[@RiffChris]

Agreed!

[@Qira.]

11:29 The guy standing to Ryan's left in that scene kind of looks like Rhys Darby.

[@TheGameBroswithSirhcandAr0n]

I agree with this, the reason Ryan Reynolds is in the movie is a reference to Ted, because Ryan was Patrick Warburton's gay lover and had no lines so Seth thought it would be funny to put him in this movie again with no lines, what an amazing payoff for that joke eh?

There is nothing wrong when one person has complete control over a film. - George Lucas

[@angel-loves-jazz]

what

[@morecowbell7868]

George was an idiot

[@crepmoun7027]

Alex Dove I think that is the joke

[@samlerf]

George Lucas: “The auteur theory of film actually is very true if you know directors, because they are very much like their movies. And in the case of somebody who writes and directs, you know, it is my life. I mean, everything I write is my life, I’m not writing some sort of hypothetical thesis on something, I’m writing a story that I have to get extremely emotionally involved in because it’s going to take two or three years of my life to do it. So I can’t just sort of say, ‘Oh this will be fun,’ and knock it off in a week. This is like a marriage … you have to be in love with this thing for at least four or five years, and probably for the rest of your life.” In the run up to The Force Awakens, I couldn’t even begin to count how many times I’ve seen people saying, Oh thank God that George Lucas won’t be involved.It’s been a popular notion for some time now that Star Wars needed to be saved from George Lucas. It took me a long time to work out how people could seriously think something so nonsensical.There is no Star Wars without George Lucas. Where do these people think that Star Wars came from?To get around the conundrum of loving Star Wars but hating George Lucas, fans have created entire alternate realities. The Secret History of Star Wars is a book-length attempt by fan/possible mental patient Michael Kaminski to give credit for everything good about the original three films to somebody, anybody, besides George Lucas. It was Ralph McQuarrie, Gary Kurtz, it was Lawrence Kasdan, Irvin Kersher, Marcia Lucas, it was maybe the craft service guy, but it was most definitely not the guy who wrote, directed, and originated the entire thing. Kaminski makes baroque conspiracy theories about how Lucas has lied about the development of all of the films, based on the fact that Kaminski has “uncovered” that the story did in fact evolve over the different script drafts and didn’t originate fully formed in the version that Lucas has chosen to finally present. The way that fans are able to twist reality to fit their preferred version of events is displayed in fact that he presents these revelations as “secret” when he has no special access of any kind and all of his research is based on information readily made available by Lucas and Lucasfilm themselves.Almost all those other contributors I mentioned did in fact make important contributions to Star Wars, but to say that their contributions negate Lucas’, or that it means that these films are not Lucas’ creations, simply displays a basic ignorance of how art is created.Everything about Star Wars- The love of fast cars, the Saturday matinee influences, the Kurosawa influences, the Joseph Campbell influences, the daddy issues, the editing style, all of it- this is George Lucas’ life on screen. Star Wars is what happens when you take his life experiences, things that he absorbed and that inspired him, and throw them in a pot together. The stew that happens is Star Wars.This is how any work of art happens, really. Film is of course an especially collaborative medium, but in any work of art, even a novel, every person that enters the artist’s life directly or indirectly has an effect on the person that they are and the life experiences they are drawing upon to create their art. This does not mean that the novel doesn’t have an author. Those other people are influences, but the artist is the final arbiter, the lens through which those experiences are combined into a piece of art. Not all Star Wars fans feel that way, obviously. They’ve even created a feature-length documentary, The People vs. George Lucas, to present their case, without any apparent irony, that Lucas should be held accountable to them, and that he owes it to the fans to make the movies he is told to make. If you’d like to see a long parade of people who have never created anything in their lives talk about how they know more about making movies than the guy who made movies they are obsessed with does, then go ahead and check it out, but I’m not responsible for the headache it could create. When you judge a piece of art, the criteria you’re supposed to use is how closely the artist achieved their goals. If you don’t like musicals, that’s fine. That doesn’t mean that all musicals are bad. They could be a very well done example of something that you don’t enjoy. There’s a fine line there many people struggle to understand, which is the difference between talking about the piece of art, and talking about yourself and your own tastes and emotions. George Lucas isn’t interested in traditional story structure. This should be obvious if you’ve seen THX or American Graffiti. In fact, he’s actively interested in subverting traditional story structure, and in completely non-narrative films. They’ll point out that Lucas wasn’t the director of episodes V and VI… which just illustrates a lack of knowledge of how those films were made. The directors contributed, especially Kershner, but they were hired by Lucas to make his movie for him. Lucas also worked with other screenwriters, but the story and situations originated from him, and he was the final arbiter and had final cut, too. From beginning to end, they were his films and he was in control, no matter how many other people worked with him, and everybody knew that. The argument is grasping at straws. Hmmmmm… Tough call.There’s the big one, of course, which is Han not “shooting first…” This change doesn’t actually alter the movies any more than a dozen others, but people like to cling to it because they can say that it’s not just a change to the effects, it’s a change to the character and his story, and this makes it look like their concerns about the changes to the films come from their place as high minded cultural critics with a deep insight into narrative, rather than, say, their desire for the movie to always look like it did when they were six.The thing with this change is that it’s barely a change at all. Greedo was always ABOUT to shoot Han. It’s there in the dialog. He means to shoot Han and kill him in every version of the scene. Han never has shot Greedo in cold blood. That scene doesn’t exist except in the minds of some particular butthurt man children obsessed with a movie. So if Greedo always meant to shoot Han, the only difference is that in the altered versions he gets a shot off, and Han’s actions and motivations are identical. So then why change it? It’s just a clarification. The idea that Greedo was about to shoot Han is clear from the dialog, but not as obvious visually, and as always Lucas wants these films to operate on a visual level first. Regardless of that you can say that if, functionally, Han’s motivations in both versions are the same, then the clarification is unnecessary. Which is funny, because that’s where the people complaining about the change prove Lucas’ point for him, since it should have been clear and easy to understand before the change, but it obviously wasn’t since these people, 18 years after the Special Editions came out, are still struggling to wrap their heads around it.

[@Ze_eT]

@@yaass9180 Sadly, in family guy, it has reached a really bad point, way before you posted your comment. It is surprising for the episode to not start off by immediatly cutting off to a TV show being made fun off. They constantly want to be taken serious but also as a joke, but also then teach completely wrong things like it is okay to rape someone when you are lonely or the one who sexually harasses you is the victim and you are the problem for not letting him/her fuck. They literally revived Brian in 2 weeks and then made him the worst person in the universe. I mean, other shows like Spongebob got out of the dark ages and are good again, but I think Family Guy already burried themself in their grave. You can keep your opinion, but in my opinion, the jokes are too disgusting, boring, out-of-nowhere, played out, long, relying on shock and unfunny.

There is a rule in comedy movies most people are unaware of. Never stop telling the story to tell a joke. Look at Back to the Future, there is no scene or even really a line that you could remove from the movie. Same thing with Ghostbusters. Even (the good) John Huges movies aren't strong on narrative, but every scene works together to tell a larger narrative. Even Airplane never really stops the movie to tell a joke. Pretty much all the gags happen inside the narrative of the story. Stryker talks about his drinking problem then pours water on his face. That's funny, but it never stops the story. Lots of modern comedies dont seem to understand this concept.

[@Lauren_210]

gplechuckiii Ralph covered exactly what you mentioned in his Ghostbusters 2016 video regarding the comedy. He compared the original and reboot versions and said that the original was so much better at the comedy due to the fact that the film had a competent and decent script and the story and jokes intertwined naturally with each other without any awkward stops to tell a joke.

8:05 This scene is being filmed by several cameras, contains multiple major actors, and is being worked on dozens of hard working crewmen, and is filled with numerous extras. All the while it is being overseen by 2 other producers. How in God's name did this scene even make it into the film. How is every single person in this scene not thinking to themselves, "dear, god, I'm embarrassed to even be associated with this film, let alone be on camera."

I agree with most of your points, but Monty Python and the Holy Grail is more authentic to real life in the Dark Ages than most any other film committed to celluloid, besides the silly visuals & jokes. There really WAS a man with a cart collecting the week's dead. Peasants really DID "farm" mud, etc. All of that stuff was quite authentic. That movie is funny because of the talent--obviously--plus the restrictions on budget, time, etc. They made the film work, regardless of limitations. They flourished in spite of the obstacles, while staying true to their vision. It's absurd, authentic, and hilarious, all at the same time. Seth MacFarlane does not possess that sort of discipline, especially when he's given carte blanche. Plus, Terry Gilliam/Jones are real filmmakers. And while Seth is a multi-threat in the talent department, filmmaking isn't one of them. This movie sucks.

[@emperorgameling5064]

No there wasn't. I've seen the movie and while yes it is funny, no it is not authentic. People have a small "epcot" level of understanding the middle age period, which literally lasted for about a thousand years. It's easy to see why, most of us get our medieval knowledge from Arthurian epics or disney movies or other romanticized stories. Deadcarts existed yes, but that was in times of plague when normal means of burial become strained. No peasants didn't just farm mud, that obviously can't provide for an extended family. They actually had a lot of local diversity in their food, well enough to support their families and the taxes they had to pay. I don't fully remember the movie but I think the armor was done properly for a crusades-era film, plate armor wasn't really a thing until the late middle age period.

[@jodyb1095]

So I did background in this and was on set for maybe a month. First off, it's really sad to put that much time and that many early mornings and late nights into a film and for it to be so unentertaining. What's weird is from the set it felt like we were making a really funny movie. There were many times that I'd be watching a scene get rehearsed or even when we were filming and I'd think "oh this is gonna be fun to watch later". And in nearly every instance I was wrong. I remember on one of my last days there was the scene where Seth realizes he doesn't want to be with Amanda anymore and he makes some joke about her having a hairy pussy and then he comes back to explain it and one guy in the crowd yells "I GOT IT!" and on the day it was so fuckin funny. Everyone was busting up laughing on nearly every take.The way he timed it was perfect, but for whatever reason in the final movie it just falls kinda flat. I'd also like to add that while Seth did write, direct, and star in this that doesn't mean he had complete control. You'll notice that there are a number of scenes that have a ton of background characters. Well that costs a lot of money. You gotta pay all those people for 8 hours minimum, you have to feed them, you have to pay the PAs to wrangle them around, you gotta pay the transpo guys to drive them around, it adds up. There were many days that Seth would be running around stressed and I'd overheard conversations between the AD and various PAs about how the studio was yelling at him about wasting so much money and that they wanted the number of background reduced significantly. And they did. They cut the number of background actors dramatically and they also started giving us shittier food. At the beginning of filming we'd get to eat with the crew, and it was so good. I mean you'd be looking forward to it all day. But then a couple of weeks in we were getting essentially bad cafeteria food. Then there were some days they'd only have maybe 10 or 12 of us there and we'd get to eat with the crew again so that was always a nice treat. Anyways, I'd imagine that there are a lot of changes, cuts, and edits that happened because the studio wanted them and it was out of Seth's hands. Also, towards the end of filming they ran into some shit weather and the set got flooded for a number of days and that also pushed them way over schedule/budget and could be the reason for other things being cut or altered. Oh and one reason there were so many little cameos was that there are a lot of things that get filmed in New Mexico and some of those people were in town filming other projects (Ewan McGregor was filming Jane Got a Gun for example) and so they were able to come be on set for a day but couldn't do more than that. So it wasn't like he was pulling in tons of favors just to have someone be in a 30 second scene, it was more like "Hey wanna come hang out for a day?" and they'd put them in. Lastly I'll just say everyone who worked on this was really awesome and a lot of people put their blood sweat and tears into it. Sarah Silverman is really nice and she was so funny between takes and brought so much energy to everything she did. Seth never stopped moving and busted his ass on everything. NPH was cool to talk to and I got to see his butt when he shit into that hat. It's just one of those cases where everyone did everything they could to make a good movie and it just didn't quite meld the right way. I hope some people like it, I wish I liked it more. I've never been able to sit through the whole thing. I just scrub through to see the scenes I'm in lol.

[@santiagorosas3543]

This is a really cool insight on how the movie was made and how Seth operates. I don’t like all his jokes but when a joke lands it busts my guts.

This movie left me with an incredibly strange feeling because Liam Neeson and Charlize Theron's characters felt super misplaced in this. Either they're too good at acting or they didn't get the memo that this was supposed to be a comedy. When you actually fear the villain and fear for the victim, and then in the next scene there's a guy getting pissed on by a sheep, or another guy parading his moustache like it's a Ferrari and making every woman wetter than a... well, a guy who's just been pissed on by a sheep, it just feels wrong. The tone of this movie is wrong, the self-casting by McFarlane is wrong, the script is wrong. There's nothing salvageable here. I dislike Family Guy in general, but it should be more than obvious even for those who enjoy the show - and especially for those who make it - that animation works differently than live action, and it requires a different approach. What makes you chuckle when it's done by an animated character probably won't make you chuckle when it's a real actor doing it. It doesn't translate. Which is why the live action remakes by Disney suck, btw.
