Midnight Screenings: "One Direction: This Is Us"

[@coolnerdlll6053]

Came here after Liam died. I only knew about him through the song he did for Ron’s Gone Wrong, but RIP nonetheless.

[@ursidae97]

I would have paid good money to be at that showing just to see hwen the audience starts applauding snob says "YOU DO NOT CLAP FOR THIS!!!"

[@EdPlays1997]

'One of them is going to be an actor.' Dunkirk anyone?

[@u805]

Right! And he was surprisingly not that bad in it.

[@MaleTears]

"we were high at the screenings" "i was so stoned" i like these guys a little bit more now lol

[@Collageman90]

I would forgive One Direction if they come out in the 90's where everyone was doing the boy band thing, but this is 2015! Even Justin Timberlake was like: "Dude! That shit is so old!"

[@ThierryRocksTV]

At least the Backstreet Boys had substance.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

Alex Hartsell Basically, it's a boy band of Justin Beibers(minus all the arrests)

[@jimmymelendez1836]

​@@ThierryRocksTV The Backstreet Boys? Substance?😂

[@MxSnrub]

Dave: “This is the worst documentary I’ve ever seen.” Oh Dave, you sweet sweet summer child... if you only knew what was coming.

[@BloodGuyReviews]

Despised Icon’s ‘Montreal Assault’ tour video showed what bands go through on tour... Iron Maiden’s doc on their ‘World Slavery’ tour. I’m a huge Cannibal Corpse fan, and their ‘Centuries of Torment’ doc still taught me things... Brad said the most real thing in this review, ‘Stupid girls go stupid over stupid shit’.... 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@vickiebauer8238]

The Monkees were great. Head is one of the trippiest movies ever made.

[@jamiekamihachi3135]

What this movie needs is a RiffTrax.

[@kylestark8581]

Dave fuckin nailed it, few years later the band split 😆

[@arizonatsunami]

Well, they did break up, one of them did become an actor, and one of them has died, though at least not of a heroin overdose.

[@pocketsesmcflurry2146]

"One of them's going to be an actor" Hey good call!

[@GBmovieluv]

He also called on the death of one that happened about nine years later, which is either awkward or figured coming from Brad or both. I'm leaning on both

[@zaroelke4066]

I love Dave's rants

[@CTKaraokeQueen]

lol what's interesting is Harry is now in that Dunkirk movie and the band has gone its separate ways 😂😂😂😂

[@Arrowdodger]

Yeah, it makes me wonder what *genuinely* interesting stories there were to tell with the band, abandoned for a puff piece.

[@LegoManiac_101]

Finally, no more awful singing

[@DWSmith-x6c]

Hey there...anyone from...after the...incident. 7:43 Ohhh.

[@C_hoffmanni]

Little did Brad know Vaxxed would be even worse

[@ryeguy6060]

Then Hilary's America was even worse

[@shwahgamer]

Ryeguy Hillary's America is worse objectively, it's a gravely misinformed pile of insults from a man who doesn't understand how the world works. But I believe Vaxxed is far worse because it will actually kill people if you follow any of the bull that the movie is saying.

[@charlieruiz748]

Little did they know that Hillary's America was coming out in the next couple of years

[@scottlester7939]

If only they knew the future

[@Agent57000DM]

This was directed by Morgan Spurlock? The Supersize Me guy?

[@Sukuun]

+Agent57000DM Say it ain't so! :(

[@ThierryRocksTV]

(Start of the video) "Dooouchebags."

[@user36able]

I had a friend who was a massive fan of these guys and they offered to pay for my movie ticket so I went along. Eh, I didn’t love it, but it was fine. It kind of reminded me of my obsession with the spice girls back in the day. My friend had accompanied me to some shitty movies that I’d enjoyed and I didn’t want to spoil their fun. They subsequently gifted me with a 1D poster that I “lost” the next time I moved. I didn’t despise this movie but I probably wouldn’t watch it again. Everyone go watch The Imposter or Dear Zachary (try to watch them without knowing anything). Those are some AMAZING documentaries.

[@Megramia288]

Only movie I ever went to theatres and there was applause was at power rangers and it was only one random guy applauding.

[@wolfember1]

Metallica's some kind of monster was a good band documentary

[@KennyJohnson666]

+Sailor Wolf I still can't believe the therapist didn't get punched for passing lyrics to the band. That guy was a douche.

[@wolfember1]

Kenny Johnson oh yeah, i was about ready to punch the dude myself, I loved Jason's part, he was pretty much the only reason I watched it

[@LauraSquirrel]

It's a fantastic musical soap opera.

[@Ezinma88]

I have literally never been in a screening where there was a problem with the visuals. It seems to happen to you guys all the time!

[@MsDjessa]

Was it One Direction who had that song which had music that sounded like it was ripped from Coolio's Gansta's Paradise? I forget which is which about bands like this.

[@raphses6871]

I knew a girl in second grade of secondary school who proclaimed that Zayn was her husband.

[@geoffreysorkin5774]

When they talked out their names, I immediately thought Nick, and realized that was the Jonas Brothers. Same fuckin' thing

[@cobrahotly]

Watching this in 2017 one week after Dunkirk and DAMN this was prescient. I guess Harry Styles is the Corey Feldman.

[@connorstratton5961]

hey at least it's not one direction meets the Phantom of the park

[@spacephantom1978]

Phantom of the park is a sacred masterpiece though lol

[@pokeythescowlingcat6221]

Who else is here from the Hilary review?

[@VanSnizzlefit]

I absolutely came here right after that review lol. I love going back to old videos they reference in new ones!

[@kyleshiflet9952]

Like to see them camping in Texas they wouldn't last 3 minutes before a "hunting accedent" or a wild pig attack

[@christhornycroft3686]

The difference between boy bands today vs boy bands in the 90s is that at least back then, half of those bands could sing and there's actually some stuff that isn't half bad. Westlife, another UK boy band, could sing better than One Direction. I've never been into boy bands, but as someone who appreciates all kinds of music, I try to pay attention to every genre and find something good in it. But for all the jokes I made in the 90s about the Backstreet Boys, N Sync and LFO, those guys were actually talented vocalists and could actually hold a note live. They didn't need to be Mili Vanilli-ed for the most part. Boy bands today definitely need the autotune.

[@wardan1230]

welp! Max Force called it! they broke up a couple of years later

[@JohnBondy52]

Little did they know in the future they would have to watch Dinesh D'Souza documentaries in the future.

[@Mediamonsta95]

"Documentaries do not have CGI special effects" So, Montage of Heck isn't a documentary then?

[@nicholasviespoli1885]

+Mediamonsta95 I think he meant if they're unnecessary

[@Mediamonsta95]

Nicholas Viespoli which is true, butt it doesn't not make it one

[@nicholasviespoli1885]

I agree

[@jasonmillsom2981]

+Mediamonsta95 it is how it used moh nailed it tiu fucked it up

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

Mediamonsta95 The Pixar Story is bookended by a CGI...what is it, a Zoetrope. That had a point to it.

[@MsDjessa]

Oh yeah I know Greg Land (though didn't remember the name until mentioned). Yeah same here, thought it was eye catching at first but after hearing about the technique it became meh. I'm not angry at him, his art just became meh.

[@PoliciesOfArt]

I liked Katy Perry's documentary, but that's only because I think she is one of the few unique (as unique as a pop artists can get) pop artists in this generation. She's crazy, but at least she has some personality.

[@ThierryRocksTV]

+Terrell Foster Her songs suck though.

[@ZuperNEZ]

The only Katy Perry song I like is "I Kissed A Girl". It is about a chick kissing another chick.

[@kartoonfanatic]

Her voice is not as bad as some artists out there, but she's very overplayed. I Kissed a Girl and Unconditionally were pretty good after hearing them a few times, but after the 100th, they have the same effect as never liking them at all. Admittedly, I like her and Nikki Minaj more than I should simply because they both really don't like Taylor Swift. Now she would be a boring person to write a documentary on.

[@1000huzzahs]

Hate to say it, but... "Spice World" had a "Help" vibe to it - a fictionalized "documentary" of a hugely popular British band… No, the Spice GIrls weren't the fucking Beatles, but I've seen both of those movies and it runs along the same line of ridiculousness + music. It's just that the music is way crappier. But Spice World didn't pretend it was a documentary and neither did Help; This thing does.

[@joelsmith5938]

Do you mean A Hard Day's Night? Help! was garbage. Hard Day's Night holds up pretty well, actually. Spice World? ...oh...

[@1000huzzahs]

Help! was the only one that had any semblance of a plot to my recollection, but it's been a long time. They probably both apply.

[@jimmymelendez1836]

Ugh, you right. It's not made for us, it's made for the dopey little 12 year old girls. They sure love their cruddy music. Even for 2015. They will not be remembered fondly.

[@pokeythescowlingcat6221]

3D Documentary

[@pedrogomezid]

it doesn't sound like a boy band, Backstreet Boys IS A FUCKING BOYBAND.

[@moomoopuppy5810]

So the girls camped out ...just in case?

[@LegoManiac_101]

12 One Directioners disliked this video

[@TheHauntedFarm]

Is anyone else tired of Dave's "I'm a world weary, exasperated tortured soul" shtick? Like, I'm not a fan of One Direction, but it seems like every time Dave sees something he doesn't like he acts like it physically assaulted him. At least we get some primo cringe with our reviews!

[@WillsonT011]

+TheHauntedFarm Yeah, me too. Okay, yeah, bad movie but man the fuck up and stop acting like you lost your balls, Dave

[@ssss6572]

+TheHauntedFarm What are you guys going on about? I love Dave's rants, they're fucking hilarious.

[@hamstercom23]

To be fair, he's a grown man in his thirties who had to sit through a movie length One Direction commertial. His main genres seem to be documentaries, action films and superhero/comic adaptions...no wonder he doesn't always have much fun.

[@geoffreysorkin5774]

Morgan Spurlock, the guy who made the vegan propaganda film? There are plenty of things wrong with McDonalds. You could make a good honest documentary about it. Shame he had no intention of doing that. Also, Greg Land was probably tracing the Backstreet Boys comics by Stan Lee.

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

Yeah, implying vegan food is better for you than McDonald's...such propaganda...

[@geoffreysorkin5774]

I didn't say that. My problem with the movie is that Spurlock implied that his results would be the same for everyone. He went from walking over 10,000 steps a day, and being a vegan, to only eating Large and Supersize at McDonalds at least 3 times a day and walking I believe 2500 steps a day maximum. Of course his health turned to shit to the point of nearly killing him. Also, of course being a vegan is healthier than eating fast food regularly. If he wanted to make a documentary that said that, he could have done so honestly. If he wanted to make a documentary about how McDonalds is among the least healthy food in the world, he could have done that honestly. He instead chose to make a film where he presented an extreme case as the norm. That is to veganism what Blackfish was to animal rights.

[@zubileegluckgluck]

@@geoffreysorkin5774 That just sounds like he began living like someone who eats a lot of McDonald's. People who eat a lot of fast food tend to be lazy and stupid, and no one who eats that much garbage has the energy to walk 10,000 steps a day. Seems like he made it extra honest, if you look at it realistically.

[@geoffreysorkin5774]

@@zubileegluckgluck Again, I don't eat fast food. Usain Bolt ate nothing but Chicken McNuggets for the entire Beijing Olympics. You can eat pure refried shit and exercise. The average New Yorker walks close to 10,000 steps a day. Morgan Spurlock before the movie didn't exercise any more than the average New Yorker. He changed to the walking amounts of the average American, and to a diet worse than the Average American, from being an extremely healthy (and RICH) New Yorker who did average exercise.
