... Did Kevin break Neby!?!? 😮😮

[@kevinnelson66]

Kevin and Ralph Garman have hinted at possibly ending Hollywood Babble On after 15 years.

[@STREETTHING]

JC is really short-sighted. He complains about Jenny making a video about SW, yet he owns a bar…

[@lonelyone]

Haven't watched anything yet, but just scanning the topics, this kind of looks like a bummer. Have not really been excited about a lot of stuff lately, it always seems to be the same old thing.

[@foyboy03]

Thank you for stamping it

[@samfisher6606]

JC, buddy. Jenny didn't go in there wanting to make a hit piece on the Star Wars Hotel. She wanted it to be good. She was excited. You'd know that if you watched her video.

[@ytubeanon]

2:07:00 Bampf Man's petulant take on Jenny's Star Wars Hotel video, which he didn't even watch any of, is so goddam dumb and hypocritical, your entire industry is based on fans critiquing the things they love and pay for. She's a connoisseur of theme-based attractions and is 100% a Star Wars fan, every single thing she said was in-depth, researched, fair and thought out for 4 hours, even her goddam app that was central to the main experience didn't work for the thousands of dollars spent

[@TheBigBMoss]

... Yeah, it was a bad take, but it was an emotional reaction. People are people. Put yourself in his shoes. He has said before that it revitalized his love for Star Wars. For him, the experience was a dream he barely made happen. Clearly his experience was different and he knows it would affect how he remembered it (which, when he was talking about the snippets friends would share him on, it was clear those snippets had already challenged his memory of the experience). You and most people would feel the same..

[@ytubeanon]

​@@TheBigBMoss imo his desire to save his pristine precious memory doesn't excuse implying Jenny was wrong because she didn't put in the effort, "you get out what you put in" - in addition to the whole video, she had a dedicated section explaining why that's not valid - he's blaming the fans because they weren't good enough to understand the hotel if you truly love something you will want it to be as good as it can be, that includes hearing quality criticism, why wouldn't he want his experience to be what others have if it was so great This is a common conflict when people say things like "if you don't like it then just don't buy it", that's not how fandom works and he more than most should know that at the deepest level

[@Bloodymecha]

She was 100% excited to be there and trying to Role play along with the cast too!

[@worly]

His first reaction is to accuse her of not paying for her stay. Bampf man didn't pay for his either 😂

[@RighteousBrother]

Her SW hotel review is incredible and good on her for calling out Disney for how expensive the experience is for very little.

[@shongage]

JC should watch Jenny Nicholson's video. She didnt go into that to rip it apart. She went into it to try to play along, and it didn't work for her.

[@jpetersgoyanks]

He doesn’t want to watch it, why should he? He had the experience and liked it, why watch someone else not like it… it’s 4 hours.

[@zackthompson845]

​@@jpetersgoyanksno one is saying he has to watch it. What people are saying is that he is wrong for trying to invalidate her bad experience and trying to put her down all while never actually seeing what she said and instead got all his information from blurbs taken by people reactioning to her. Just like he had a good experience, she had a bad one and his good experience doesn't change the fact that she had a bad one and it wasn't her fault. Like for example fir a show she was seated behind a pillar and could not see most of the show because of this, something that they bring up and he ignores claiming you get what you put into it

[@blanketfortressofsolitude5270]

Kevin Smith nerding out over Wrath of Khan makes my fucking day. That movie is 100% masterpiece. Flawless film.

All of JC’s criticisms of the Nicholson video fall apart if he actually watched it.

[@dawn_bestofj2]

I just got done watching her video. I agree. She tried hard to play along and do the story. She got hosed. I appreciate that Kevin defended her.

[@lschantz64]

JC, she did not go there looking for crack, she did not go there to pick it apart, from the video she went to play and have fun and it did not work out. Her experience was bad and at $6K they are a fair criticism.

He took it so personally

[@Highqman1974]

Not only did he not watch it, he based his opinion on other You Tubers opinions. LITERALLY the problem with alot of things in the world today...........

[@jpetersgoyanks]

I like that JC was ready to defend something… I never get mad at someone passionately defending something.

[@ElloAsty]

@@jpetersgoyanks he's passionately (and blindly) taking a swing at someone without even attempting to understand what they were even saying.

[@GalanofTaa-rw8dk]

That other guy? He owns the most famous space themed bar. It makes sense he's passionate about it

[@Qwazin]

You know what's so wonderful about Kevin talking about Logic's movie? He's talking about it like it has inspired him in the exact same way Clerks inspired generations of young filmmakers in the 90s. Someone finally gave it back to him.

[@JF-us4sn]

We need an episode where every time Kevin cuts himself down, he has to donate $100 to charity.

[@Elwaves2925]

I don't think he has that much money. At least it might mean a Clerks: Next Generation movie, followed by two sequels and spin-offs to get the money together. 🙂

[@systembypassproductions1825]

It’s nice to see the boys back together ☺️

[@dkfrito]

JC has no idea what he is talking about regarding that Star Cruiser video. He obviously has no idea who Jenny is, she's a big Star Wars and theme park fan and really wanted to love it. I mean, she used to have a show called the Millenial Falcon. Like I said, big fan.

[@zackthompson845]

He admits he didn't actually watch her video and instead only knows about it from grifters hating on her

[@richflix6076]

oof i love all three of these dudes and realistically always will. But wow hearing JC shit on Jenny’s video without having an inking of knowledge regarding it was extremely difficult to watch. expected better :/

[@randyhoward378]

I don't know if Kevin or Mark read this but while you were talking about Star Trek and said the movies brought you into it. I was nine when it started on Thursday, September 8, 1966. There were no Star Wars yet. So it was the biggest thing to watch then. We were in the middle of the space race, so it was big to a kid like me. That is the reason I went to see Star Wars 21 times in 1977 in the theater.

[@kixprime]

So, not only does JC shit on a video he hasnt even watched, but he's defending something that we all know by now was a notorious failure for Disney.

[@TheGreatArloMan]

The Old Man Beyond conversations are important lessons for the younger fans because if they don't understand the economics behind funding their fandoms, they risk losing them altogether in the future

[@senorchivo90]

As a Star Wars casual who did watch the full Jenny Nicholson video, that was a really bad take by JC. If you watched the video, you would see that literally none of JC's criticisms of it are valid. JC is doing his best Don Quixote and fighting windmills here. Really disappointed as I count him and Mark as some of the SW fans whose opinions I take seriously.

[@chipolatajones6358]

[@Mojo_Jojo45]

Why is being honest about something "tearing it down"?

[@sinistar99]

One could just as easily ask: Why is tearing something down "being honest about it?"

[@hastanley1]

@@sinistar99 how is Nicholson tearing it down? By mentioning that Disney didn't pay actors properly and they had to find out they were fired right before a very long shift? Hiring their students who they can pay dirt cheap, have no experience negotiating plus pile extra duties onto and take rent money from putting them in a high stress situation? Fuck those workers, it's so mean to discuss working conditions and awful to sympathise with people. Is it tearing down to mention paying for a memory maker package with roving photographers to take photos throughout the weekend only for a new, more expensive photo package to be announced and instead of hiring more photographers just reassigning all the photographers who would have been roaming to do that package resulting in paying for a service that no longer existed not even informing people who had paid or offering a refund? Wait, maybe it's "tearing down" to mention using Disney's shipping service to send a bulky, expensive droid home only for it to never arrive despite the address being correct, being given the run around when trying to get updates, no refund offered and Disney only responding when someone with a lot of twitter posted about it. Fuck people who aren't influencers, amirite, it's so cruel to point out that normal people are shit out of luck if they want a refund. Who cares about people to whom a few hundred dollars is a lot of money, they should shut up. The audacity of wanting the things you pay for. It's nice to know that people liked the performances and work of Captain Keven, Ounni, Lt. Croy, etc but don't think their performances were good enough to deserve being paid more than an actor who just has to sing two songs. Like, they were so good but also they don't deserve any empathy or attention when they got pink slipped out of no where. Any consideration for how people who thought they had long stable contracts needing to scramble to reorganise their lives since unlike other roles at Disney they couldn't just be shifted into different roles in the park is just really mean to Disney. If the thing being torn down is the complete contempt for non wealthy people, workers, and anyone who isn't an influencer then tear it down. Why do you want to prop up the wall of silence and apathy? This isn't a fart, trying to make the person who talks about the stinky issues the problem is childish "they who smelt it dealt it" logic. The continued deliberate silence on how the people who worked at the star wars hotel were treated and framing even mentioning the many guests who had problems as petty is so heartless.

[@jpetersgoyanks]

@@sinistar99exactly, the assumption is always that criticism is honest and praise is questionable but in fact, as demonstrated on the internet, hate and or criticism is way easier than praise.

[@zackthompson845]

​@@sinistar99and one can ask how someone having a bad experience at a place and talking about it isn't an honest opinion. Why is it that when someone doesn't like something or talks about a negative experience you automatically assume it is false. You are no better than the people you are against. You are trying to invalidate someone for simply talking about a bad experience they had and trying to claim that since they are calling out the negative that they experienced than it isn't an honest opinion.

[@TullyQuinn]

JC... Man. You do not know Jenny Nicholson. You have no idea how much she puts into theme parks, and Star Wars, Disney, etc. Her video is absolutely incredible and, I get that you went, but your attitude toward her and her work here is a poor reflection on you. Especially without seeing any of her work.

[@Fabulist]

I agree with @TullyQuinn - Nicholson is the real deal. She’s definitely One of Us and nerds the fuck out about Disney, Star Wars and amusement parks. I’m not going to watch a 5-hour video about a thing that sounded stupid to me, but no one should doubt her bonafides.

[@jpetersgoyanks]

He did it and liked it, why would he watch a video of someone not liking it? I don’t watch all the pandering hate videos of SW content. I enjoy it, why do I need to watch people who don’t?

@2:04:55 "You'll get out of it what you put in." JC, maybe you 'should' watch the video because that's a line that she directly addresses and has a rebuttal for....because her and a lot of other people put in ALOT, and genuinely tried to get a good experience out of it, and didn't get anything substantial or satisfying out of it. Kevin is right, Jenny is a huge fan. She doesn't go in to these things with the sole desire to criticize. I'm sure she would have preferred to do a 4 hour video of how great a time she had and how sad it was that they were closing it.

And even those are money grabs. Its pure greed, unregulated and enabled. I guess it just takes 2 years of things being okay, and then another 2 years of inexcusable fleecing, to get to the next 4 years of "it will get better, cause I say so", all while semi-denying there is an actual problem in the first place...Still voting for Kamala for the record.

To be fair, I think they are leaving parts out of that, or kinda misrepresenting it. I haven't watched the show to be honest but just some the reviews I've seen I can already tell people are milking the bad aspects of it. Like, if all the bodies weren't burned up, and the other girl got trained in the dark side of the force... it seems like the sith just lied to her and killed everybody. Assuming a sith shows up though to teach the bad girl. Also the Jedi showing up and treating them well before Anakin is alright, this all happened in the past, so its likely explaining why they made the rules that the did to treat Anakin like such a punk. Not that it really matter to me though, I ain't watching it till it all over and as a pirate. If its good enough I'll watch the whole thing, if not I'll stop. Meh either way.

It's impossible to redo Star Wars; you can redo Back to the Future without any issues, but Star Wars at this point is untouchable. Unless you create an alternate universe version of Star Wars, that would be a solution. Right now Star Wars is a Cinematic Universe. It wouldn't make sense to redo it, just as it wouldn't make sense to redo The Avengers.

Before i watch, are they still not talking about Fallout?

[@NeoRetroEntertainment]

Finally Kevin is back 🙌

[@db5627]

In regards to star wars. It's dead. That is all.

[@nicholasmilillomusic]

Jc needs to actually sute and watch the video for himself. Thank goodness for Kev.

[@Lavo68]

Marc giving episode 3 a pass is mind boggling. It was an embarrassing spectacle made by people that seem to despise Star Wars.

[@kobweb2994]

Not only giving it a pass. It was his favorite episode! lol wat??

[@Lavo68]

@@kobweb2994 They both come off as disingenuous sell outs these days.

[@HouseOHorrorGames]

So people can't possibly like something you don't? GTFOH.

[@michaelaubertfr]

The huge issue I have with episode 3 of The Acolyte is that it treats the audience like the child. We only see what she experiences so we learned nothing new during the whole episode. It's consistent with the character not knowing more years later but it was a super frustrating watch.

[@peteparker22]

Omg how can every story be about Luke? Cmon Kevin that makes the universe so small

[@dspierre28]

Listen I love you guys and u have right to feel the way you do, but it's start to be real bummer to watch you guys anymore. The love I would think you give for star wars show is so under welming it's hurts. I kno I can't stop you from feeling away but for hurting us and you don't see it. Studio look at stuff u guys say good or bad and lately it's been bad and this y might not getting more thing bc how u guys say u like something just be more mine full of thing u guys put out bc it does hurt the community.

[@alenrosas]

I wish volume was higher so i can listen on my phone

[@LazyDisciplined]

Glad to see Kevin back.

[@Facesofevildead420]

I just learned about the passing of Ben Potter, aka on KZbin the Comicstorian... and I felt like I needed a nerd place I could come to. R.i.p.

[@daveycrockettla]

Good for Kev but the fact we haven’t seen him bc of logic (of all people), is a bummer. That kid is a GOOF!! Glad Kevin is having fun tho

I think Waterworld deserves a second chance, although not necessarily a sequel or a hard reboot. The polar ice caps/glaciers melting and leading to ocean levels rising dramatically + massive floods, showing more of how the post-apocalyptic Waterworld begins in a prequel-ish film set earlier in the timeline could help "ground" the Waterworld property. You could possibly set some of it on dryland and explain certain things that way, or maybe include a younger version of The Mariner/Kevin Costner's character to connect it directly to the original... The premise of Waterworld is somewhat more relevant today than it was back then. It was a huge flop at the box office, so it's probably unlikely anyone would wanna risk doing another Waterworld, but there might be ways to do it on a somewhat smaller budget

[@davidthegood1221]

Also the force awakens is a Star Wars reboot, its basically A new Hope but its Rey instead of Luke. So idk what you're mad about.
