It feels so weird to hear his voice. It’s almost like he’s still here with us. Rest In Europe James 🙏🏻

Ah man, I was hoping you'd post the Morbius commentary again.

[@elloowu6293]

Just do what I did and rewatch it.

Post the Morbius commentary every week, but every time with one little change, just to keep it interesting!

Batman begins was wild, much less grounded then the next 2 films, and I think it gave it a charm the others didn't have

[@nick_galfi9312]

I might be biased bcuz i had the dvd when j was a kid and i mustve watched it dozens of times. But batman begins is my favourite by far of the trilogy.

[@scarlettNET]

Batman Begins has a way better looking Gotham as well. It's all dark and, yknow, gothic looking. It feels bigger and more imposing. The final fight on the train is a perfect example of this. Even the tracks the train is on are grandiose and gothic, twisting through the city at crazy heights. Meanwhile, TDK and TDKR just have generic daytime New York with no extra effort put in to its visual identity.

[@licechrispies]

James, wherever you are, I hope you’re staying prayed up 🙏🏻

Hello the weekly planet welcome to my ears

James singing 2005 hits made my day 😂👏🏼 he’s a great (Bryan) singer

when i heard "another year in pop culture", i mistook it as "urine pop culture" and thought, "yeah, it kinda IS just piss, isn't it?"

[@Marb315]

2005 was an absolutely wild year because you hae probably the most important movie and video game of the decade coming out around the same time, with Batman Begins defining the next 20 years of blockbusters and Resident Evil 4 revolutionizing action games

[@MrOtistetrax]

GTA 3 was arguably more important that decade.

[@THoten]

Have a good time in Europe James, MUST BE NICE

He travels, you know that.

[@dtape]

James is going to watch another seminal movie like Iron Man on this trip so whenever that movie comes up he can tell the story of how he watched that movie on his recent Europe trip and rub it in our faces.

[@jasperalmoore]

Man it's crazy how we used to get several very good movies per year.

[@mike9512]

Would be curious if you could give a specific year because I think we still do get plenty of very good movies. Changes in release schedules, pandemics and strikes, insane budgets, and ALOT of filtering out the garbage released in previous years have all made them less visible, but I think we still get just as many great movies. Also, a lot of movies only gain recognition years after they're released, so it's too early to say that isn't going to happen.

I remember my son trying to explain the story of the Great Glass Elevator to my wife. She kept telling him "You aren't making any sense" and I had to keep telling her, "No, that's EXACTLY how it goes"... Hotel USA and the murderous Smoke Monsters, the President, The Minus Floor... its insane and I HOPE someone tries to make this movie.

[@scarlettNET]

I'd kill for an adaptation of that book. I'd be interested to see someone tackle finishing "Charlie And The White House" too.

[@CasperFGhost]

James and Maso! The Golden Compass might have been rubbish however you should check out "His Dark Material" (HBO series based on the same book series). Features Daphne Keen, James McAvoy and does a much better job on the story, well worth a watch.

[@kidfantastic]

Batman Begins is a movie that was a solid hit in theaters and that sold great on DVD over the 3 years until The Dark Knight came out. People had watched Batman Begins alot and were primed for the next one even before the marketing kicked in.

[@lrrroftheplanetomicronpersei8]

Do all Time Crapsules feature James' beautiful renditions of the year's top hits?

Hurray, some content (non-derogatory)

[@JosephDuke-t4q]

Nick and Maso are internet darlings!

[@AaronSkone]

I’m really glad that James understood the point of the first Jarhead movie. It’s a movie that is pretty much only ever understood by Marines, this coming from a Marine. Everyone wants a badass action movie about military deployments but that movie is the embodiment of what a deployment really is.

[@edstevens2772]

Where have they talked about Goblet of Fire before? I need to hear this.

"Batman Begins" is not the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of 2005. I do think of Into the Blue, Stealth, xXx 2 - State of the Union and American Pie presents: Band Camp. But sure, I'm aware of some of the pics mentioned in this episode including Batman Begins.

[@elijahjagne6462]

I'd like to share a really harrowing experience with you all. The thing about Monthbius that they don't tell you is that a lot of people die. I was a cinema usher on the day that Morbius opened in theaters. Ten thousand Morbies lined up outside my theater, ravenous, rabid, foaming at the mouth. Of course, our theater couldn't accept them all. The capacity just wasn't there. But, who was I to turn them away? So I didn't. That was a mistake. All of the Morbies were in the theater, morbing, dancing to a song still ingrained in my memory. I still hear it every night. It lives on in my Morbmares. "Have sex, have sex, poop my pants again, poop my pants again, poop my pants again, have sex." That was the song. I lost good people that day. I don't know if you know what it's like to wade through a sea of Morbies to try to get to a fallen soldier. As they morb all over him. And what can you do? They say you have to fight fire with fire. You have to fight Morbies with morbing. And I had to morb, and I'm not proud of it. But it was the only way. I saved some lives that day by morbing. I morbed here and I morbed there. But let me tell you this. It wasn't worth the chunk of my soul it took. I fought off 10,000 Morbies with my bare hands. I'm a goddamn war hero.

[@AlmightyArceus]

23:35 is Maso reciting the central thesis of Mark Fisher's "Capitalist Realism" which talks about how media that satires political figures and events in the modern era provides a false sense of catharsis for the viewer, which discourages them from taking action in the real world. Compelling stuff, Maso!

[@Lukkilikka]

constantine the movie is fine as a movie but it's not a good hellblazer adaptation at all. it takes some ideas from the comic including the lung cancer but how any of it is handled is just totally different. i was recently rereading garth ennis run of hellblazer it takes inspiration mostly and stuff like gabriel's character is so much more interesting in the comic. then again a hollywood movie would never include all that stuff including the political commentary and the humanity of the characters. recently rewatched the nolan trilogy too and dark knight is the best one. batman begins has a better gotham but is weird and racist and wasted scarecrow pretty much

[@AdamSoucyDrums]

One thing is for sure, James is dead and having the best time of his life

Charlie and the Chocolate factory 2005 is much more faithful to the book than the '71 film, deal with it's awesomeness

[@stealintomorrow]

I feel like the movie would be decent if Johnny Depp weren't in it.

[@mouse_roar]

Being more faithful to the book doesnt mean it's a better movie, though. Stephen King did a TV miniseries version of The Shining that's incredibly faithful to the book in ways that the Kubrick movie wasn't. And the King version sucks. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is more faithful, but Depp's performance, the bizarre addition of some backstory scenes that ruin the mystique, and a few of the effects being shoddy even for the era hold it back from being as iconic as Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

[@roadtoau]

I was a big fan of the Colbert Report as a kid, and I do have to admit that the first few years of Late Show were rough. I just stopped watching, because I was so sick and tired of hearing about Trump (as a non American). That was true for all late night shows though. If you watch the more recent stuff though, yeah its definitely not on the same level as the Report but its a huge improvement over what it started out as. There's a reason why he is seen to be generally on top of the ratings for late night shows.
