Sardonicast 161: 2024 Oscar Wins, Moulin Rouge!

[@donaldjulet]

deleted twitter almost a year ago and haven’t looked back. great decision, and hasn’t affected me keeping up with anything important to me

[@thecinematicmind]

Film Twitter got worse and worse each year and by the end of 2020, deleting Twitter was for the better.

[@Ragnarok540]

At this point the people still using Twitter are either musk freaks or addicts.

[@jakegibbard]

100% agree, I deleted it in July and my mental health has improved quite a bit in some aspects. Was having a conversation with a friend about how he had scenes from The Holdovers spoiled for him (it was on digital in November but didn’t come out in cinemas until January here) and I didn’t realise until then how much I didn’t miss Film Twitter and films being spoiled the second they hit digital (often before), along with daily discourse. My viewing experiences have improved significantly.

[@larrycarls7221]

I gotta say Adum. I disaggre with your reviews 50% of the time. I just watch you because you're funny.

[@Retsea]

People take Adam’s opinions too seriously. I disagree with a shit ton of his takes but he actually expresses his valid critiques.

[@theintrospective255]

What's an opinion? Is that another term for interpreted as facts?

[@farhanmarco7827]

At least he backs his opinions. It's up to people's interpretation whether he is right or wrong.

[@PauLtus_B]

I disagree with him most of the time, he's still one of my favourite critics. He gives interesting perspectives that help me plenty to understand if a movie will work for me or not. I particularly like that he absolutely seems to feel no obligation to have an opinion he's "supposed to have".

[@samb8744]

He cries about this all the time. I’ve been a fan of his for 15 years and he loves to play the victim when he says something lazy or ignorant

[@SkorgeSlaps]

11:45: Adum's point about a majority of people posting this bullshit on Twitter being the minority of stupid/senseless people is really what I needed to hear. He's so right because when I think about all of the rational/intelligent people in my life, they DON'T interact with that nonsense on twitter, so how can I expect the other people who are interacting with it to be rational and/or intelligent? Scrolling through Twitter (on the rare occasion i do it nowadays) makes me either so viscerally angry I want to scream or insanely sad that I want to cry. Remembering that these are just the assholes pining for attention really does help soften the blow haha

Yeah, sorry guys, i know which day it is, I'm not believing that they actually watched Moulin Rouge! but nice try

What baffles me is how someone wished death upon Adam, and some are saying HE'S the one who overreacted.

[@jonathansefcik473]

My high school German teacher showed us Das Boot in class. Easily the best movie I've ever seen in school. Also, IDK if it counts, but one of my college film classes showed us Rosemary's Baby.

[@anthonydelarosa]

1:33:35 Thank you guys so much for answering my question! However, upon reconsideration, I could have provided better examples. I am a big fan of James Mangold and Christopher McQuarrie as writers and filmmakers, but I dislike it when people label them as "directors for hire" because they are talented and confident filmmakers who refuse to heed mindless executives. I dislike how some individuals perceive certain filmmakers who may not have a distinct style or themes in their films, as lackluster compared to auteurs.

[@ColombianThunder]

What was the Adam Twitter drama specifically? I don't have Twitter and i don't think any of the lads directly said what it was other than the hyperbolic reaction. Edit: 9:28 ok Joyland movie mentioned.

[@Opno]

Yeah, is there a tl;dr on it and the people involved? They're being vague in the video

[@ColombianThunder]

@@Opno mostly it just seems like people brought up old opinions on movies Adam has or used to have. Apart from Joyland idk what else they're referring to because it doesn't seem like Joyland was the catalyst to the "drama" but a response to it because it was novel.

[@cthulhutheendless1587]

Last week I saw someone on Twitter talking about how Adam said the music in Toy Story 3 was “emotionally manipulative” and how that’s a bad take, because music was meant to manipulate you, and that’s literally the only controversy I can think of as a casual Twitter-user. Mind you, TS3 came out 14 years ago and it’s literally just a movie opinion

[@Poetboyy]

I believe Joyland is how it started. Someone who worked on the film came across his review, in which he gave it an overall positive rating, and made death threats against him. After that people who already didn't like Adam started jumping on or posting their own tweets about unrelated things he said that they disagreed with.

[@nikodemaslopez]

[@almightycinder]

I've always thought of "director for hire" as directors who are there to be the director but aren't really involved in the creative aspects of it. It's basically the producer or actor's movie, but they hire someone else to direct it. After Earth was pretty obviously Will Smith's movie, not M. Night Shyamalan's. Louis Leterrier has had more than one movie controlled by the actors. The James Bond movies are pretty clearly controlled by Eon Productions.

[@JidionisthebiggestMenace]

Great video bro

[@MrBjanders]

I would unironically recommend Baz Luhrmann's Strictly Ballroom. It's not groundbreaking by any means but it's a really solid film. It's the only thing I've seen from him that I actually like.

[@floraposteschild4184]

Same. I saw it when it first came out, and it was fresh and fun. But I don't see much development in later films. Flashy visuals with little depth.

[@thecinematicmind]

The Taste of Things is a fantastic film to be fair. But the Government’s praise for Justine after the Oscar is insanely hypocritical.

[@JakeWhyman]

Joker 2 is rumored to be a jukebox musical. Hopefully it doesn't have Baz levels of playlist/editing cringe...

[@reeceloomis673]

that’s exactly what it’s gonna be lol

[@waylander-su7og]

The best Baz Luhrmann film is Strictly Ballroom. Partly because as his first film he hadn't gone full Baz Luhrmann but also because the world of ballroom dancing just clicks well with his instincts.

[@Kellan__they-them]

So, I actually like Moulin Rouge, but I think a massive reason why is that... I had no idea it was a jukebox musical for YEARS. I was not raised on popular American music at all, and I thought every song in the movie was original. I do agree about the other issues with the film though. It's unpleasantly chaotic and shallow.

[@EpicGammingCrew]

29:00 I feel for adum since some of his American jokes aren’t going to get acknowledged now, but “Oscar meyers” was clever and appreciated

[@Problematist]

At least for me the Twitter algorithm also changed in a way that it forces popular tweets way more. I constantly have to mute gimmick accounts and bait posts and that's despite an extensions that hides checkmarks. Also when I like one post from a niche that's not the one i ususally see it will overtake my entire timeline too.

[@Necrotheos]

Honesty, self acceptance and self investment is a great way to combat outside validation seeking for me. I did a lot of internal thinking and while it's hard to really be honest about your faults and even your virtues, it helps to really understand what you value and why you value what you do, but that usually isnt easy to find while you're a teen, but thats when you seek the most validation. Just remind yourself that you can feel something and accept that you feel something without it being valid or invalid, it can just exist. "I like this game." "Why? that game sucks." is so than different "I like this game." "really? Damn, I hated that game so much, what did you like about it?" and you talk about your own experiences without trying to de value the other person. It seriously helped me feel comfortable with my own feelings when I started talking like this. It made me more interested in why the other person liked a game I hated and why I hated that game, and in the end I learned what I valued in a game experience. I still hated the game, but now I know why and I ended up feeling like a better person for not being a dick.

[@sjoerddondersteen1337]

10:21 Completely out of the loop with said content creator, but an odd coincidence to hear Quinton Reviews catch a stray (relatively) shortly after the inside scoop on The Snark Tank.

Hey Alex, remember your April Fools' Day video with Buckley from like... 8 years ago? Back when things didn't suck. Good stuff.

[@Necrotheos]

tbh undertanding my own values changed my life tbh. I dont feel the need to argue with people because I just tell them I dont value that stuff. I value atmosphere and tone and subtle movement/expression a lot more than dialogue and action, so Im always trying to push myself to be more comfortable with that. People have asked me to do certain things in my art, but Im drawing what I want to see, what I want to feel. I feel privileged to be able to do that externally and help others connect in that same way.

Can someone fill me in on what sparked the drama they’re talking about? I have better things to do so I’ve never had a twitter account in my life.

[@getmario64]

38:45 It will be another controversy where Spider-Verse should've won instead of Boy and the Herron because this was Miyazaki’s comeback anime masterpiece and I will revisit if coming out in Max along with Ghibli films and it's a fantastic Miyazaki style over anime designs movie and Schaffrillas talked about it so he defended his top spot in 2023 and the plot focuses more of Miyazaki making his delusional plot about his mind compared to the boy’s journey. It’s a tough challenge winning so Ghibli fans really pushing to win the film than people wanted the Spider-Verse sequel can be top spot movie.

[@MrBump2]

It's sad to me that the speech for Godzilla's VFX win will be the longest VFX acceptance speech in recent years and for the forseeable future for the sole reason that there was no translator.

[@practicablecompanyman2539]

thanks for the episode❤

[@Transmission_Rory]

A film I was reminded of during this discussion was Across The Universe. Much like Moulin Rouge, it's a jukebox musical that deals with a romantic plot, but the differences between the two are night and day. Whilst it does have problems, Across The Universe felt like it knew how to develop its main romantic couple, using the backdrop of the 60's counterculture to explore what exactly drives our heroes to do what they do. Not to mention, they stick consistently to the theme of Beatles music by having the tracks help tell the story or add a different interpretation to a song (Like how "I Want You' is used as a song about America's draft during the Vietnam War). Sure, it can get self-indulgent in its visuals (A staple of that director), but the visual imagery is so stylish and edited properly that it feels like an art exhibition come to life. Moulin Rouge on the other hand is just constant loudness and throwing random ingredients into the pot to create something "stylish". And really, that's how Baz Luhrmann's thinking process is for his films: shots that don't last more than 2 seconds because he wants to get everything into frame, over-the-top acting that thinks it's selling an epic, surface-level understanding or no understanding for what it's making (Like it's constant uttering of "love" even though it fails to communicate why it's such a powerful emotion), and tunes just plucked from random eras to make it seem "artistic". Sure, it did pave the way for works like Chicago, Sweeney Todd and Dreamgirls, but Luhrmann's style is just headache-inducing. I never understood why he's somehow gotten this much work and acclaim (Granted, there are some duds to his name, but even they have their defenders).

[@Howardax]

THANK YOU! ML never even defines what "love" is, and what you said about everything else eloquently summarises Lhurmann's entire filmography: loud, annoying, and totally falls apart under any scrutiny.

[@saliv88]

I remember way back when I was a Nostalgia Critic fan that Doug put Moulin Rouge at the top of his list of “Movies Everyone Else Seems To Love But I Don’t/Hate” and it honestly might be his most based movie take (minus him dropping “whorebag”).

[@yggdrasil2]

Doug is overall a pretty good critic with a diverse knowledge in film. He is a bad filmmaker but those two things aren't mutually exclusive. EDIT: To clarify, I don't like him, I just think there's a J K Rowling situation here where people choose not to get into legitemately harmful thing they're done and instead criticize their creative decisions for things that often doesn't even track.

[@davidyurch4446]

If I can say one thing about the music in Elvis, as someone who is a big fan of that movie: One of the things that that movie endeavored to do was to give the audience a contemporary musical vocabulary to help them understand the effect that Elvis’s music had at the time, especially since a lot of that has been dulled over the decades. With the way music has evolved and developed in the decades since Elvis, I don’t think you can really make people understand how threatening Elvis’s music felt in the 50’s just by playing it as is. I think that utilizing a hip hop beat when the Colonel first hears “That’s All Right” was an effective way of getting across what Elvis represented to white America back then. If nothing else, I respect it more than when biopics are only interested in playing the hits.

[@cgnomazoid]

Interesting perspective, hadn’t heard this thanks for sharing. One counterpoint tho is that we are now immersed in hip hop to the point where it’s basically just like oldies to people under 30. Perhaps it could have been even more out there music to get across what you’re saying

[@davidyurch4446]

⁠@@cgnomazoidThanks for responding! So I think that hip hop music, as well as the heavy metal guitar wailing in the Louisiana Hayride scene, provide a specificity that’s necessary when getting across Elvis’s impact. With the hip hop, you have an explicit analog to what Hank Snow calls “negro rhythms,” and with the guitar shredding, we get a sense of the danger that Elvis was perceived as embodying. I don’t know if music that was just out there would necessarily get those specific things across as quickly or effectively, since metal is by nature abrasive and rap is heavily tied to black culture. Even though these things are commonplace now, they still provide a kind of shorthand that’s necessary for the film.

To be fair, a lot of people don't like Quinton for a variety of reasons. He's been in some drama a few years back. I don't know the truth of this in terms of if people just overreacted or if it was justified. Amongst that he made a post about Sardonicast that made it seem like he hated it because he didn't even mention what podcast it was. (We know because it was a post about the movie Happiness.)

He said he thought it was weird to invite him on but not let him pick the movie, which is fair, especially because Happiness is NOT the type of film Quinton usually looks at. It's a complete non-issue.

Her performance did make her an outstanding widow and she only played off being ill and being sick just makes it unpleasing to me.

Disney money before live-action remake...Go F@#K Yourself, Disney!) - and... Mufasa: The Lion King (the prequel that Adam didn't finish half parts of his review and now this again with a Mufasa back story directed by Barry Jenkins...Moonlight lion gay film) So yay, I'm glad no Disney trouping hyping kiddie films just Adult Disney films where you can see it on either Disney+ or Hulu, but...combine them) I'm just happy that Hulu can work with 20th Century and Searchlight importance than Disney can do.
