I found it really funny when you mentioned the ‘cold, bleak style’ of Normal People bc that is just the standard look of most (if not all) BBC series. It’s a reflection of our weather haha.

I haven’t watched The Rehearsal, but reading the synopsis, the concept reminds me of this short film called Adieu Boheme that I randomly happened to watch. I’ll definitely have to check out The Rehearsal after hearing this VERY high praise

[@happy-composer]

The thing about the last 45 minutes of Everything Everywhere All At Once for me is that the “humorous” moments don’t land as humor to me. By that point, I’m so invested in the movie and its characters that the moments land genuinely. SPOILERS AHEAD: When the hibachi cook is crying about losing his companion, I’m not laughing but crying with him. When Evelyn and Deidre reconcile in the hot dog universe and do their dance, I find that it means so much to me because of what Evelyn is doing for her across every universe: showing her that she can be loved. All those little moments that people around me have laughed at, I have cried cathartic tears at because the Daniels all relate it back to the central message of the film: that nothing matters, and there is always something to love, so be kind. That’s just my two cents on why I think Everything Everywhere has become my favorite movie of all time.

[@mackielunkey2205]

The way every motif and theme comes into play is _masterful._

[@GiordanoFolla]

Thank you, I didn’t really know how to explain it but i felt exactly like this. Every gag universe becomes part of the message and makes it stronger with its weirdness

[@richiespicer6396]

This was very well said. I love what you said, “nothing matters, and there’s always someone to love so be kind” that’s so poetic

[@mackielunkey2205]

Yeah, I agree. I think you put it really well here.

[@Solarstar10]

The second half, and especially the overall finale of EEAAO is some of the most awe inspiring and emotionally resonant filmmaking I've ever seen. It's a real shame that even after a second watch it didn't seem to click with you. Personally I don't think I'll see a more captivating and powerful film for the rest of the year.

[@jish3680]

i think the “laundry and taxes” scene in everything everywhere all at once makes the second half just as good as the first like the whole sequence of waymond explaining how he copes with existence is just beautiful

[@4deleDaz33m]

I really regret watching Normal People few months ago when I should've watched it when it first came out, when everyone was talking about it (kinda sad how when I watch it now the hype was already down lol) but hey it's better late than never. And I agree, Normal People is basically how everything I wanted to be for a teen romance series and I love every single minute of it. One of my favourite miniseries of all time. Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal's chemistry is flawless, just wait till they both became Hollywood's next big superstar in the future because both are so talented

[@catharticmemefairy2088]

I recommend the book if you loved the series!!!

[@nutellaJar]

I remember everyone telling me to watch it when it came out and I just brushed it off lol. I watched it at the end of last year and I was so in love with it I definitely wish I watched it earlier too :)!

[@4deleDaz33m]

@@nutellaJar the things is, when my friends told me to watch a certain TV show, after the dissapointing GOT season 8, I turned off their advice because I'm just so afraid that I got invested with a show, love it so much then either gets cancelled or ends poorly and I felt like I wasted my time. And sometimes it happens to me, sometimes it took me months to move on from a show that ends extremely poorly. Which is why I rarely watch TV shows and just go for movies instead because it managed to complete a story in 2 hours. Or even a miniseries that can took me atleast a day to binge all. Granted my country doesn't have Hulu so it make sense why I wasn't aware that Normal People came out in 2020 but yeah, that was the main reason why I rarely watch TV anymore

[@4deleDaz33m]

@@catharticmemefairy2088 I don't think I can buy the book since I don't live in Ireland or even America so I guess watching the miniseries is enough and I'm glad it's really damn good. It's the same thing for Lord of the Rings Trilogy or Godfather. Buying the book is hard in my country but watching it in movie form is quite easy to buy

I have been rewatching a lot of childhood gems, seeing what holds up and what doesn’t and just trying to get some nostalgia. What I can say is kung fu panda and its trilogy are some of the most charming and well choreographed and animated mainstream movies from the last 20 years and it never fails to get me in my feels. I also rewatched how to train your dragon and it felt real good.

Spy is one of the most underrated action comedy I've ever seen. As a James Bond spoof, it works. Jason Statham was absolutely hilarious, the only thing I'm mad is how in the bloody hell we haven't got a sequel. At least a Rick Ford spin off because Statham was just hilarious Best joke from Statham : "Appear convincingly in front of congress as Barack Obama" 😂😂

[@OldSoAndSo]

I agree with most of what you said about Everything Everywhere upon second viewing

[@Fraserhansen]

So interesting how you felt about EEAAO, I actually much preferred the second half (not to say the first half is by any means bad) but it got away from all the PLOT about the multiverse and its specific quirks and turned it all human. I think if it had just commited to being a quirky action movie it would have landed so much more flat to me.

Hey Karsten, concerning the humor in the back half of EEAAO, it’s very reminiscent of the humor you see on Adult Swim, which is very, very crazy. I get that it isn’t your thing, but I really do recommend watching Smiling Friends and Xavier: Renegade Angel to help you give an idea and connection to the humor in EEAAO’s back half.

[@geeofgees7528]

I would personally suggest a Korean tv series called “alchemy of souls”. It’s a high fantasy historical drama that is 20 episodes long, that is soon to have a part 2 coming out in December. It’s genuinely such a unique concept as it’s set in the past but has modern day features such as hairstyles and makeup/cosmetics but also magic/sorcery. The villain is genuinely so despicable yet has depth, the chemistry is palpable, the characters are well written and the cinematography (for a tv series) is amazing. It’s also well paced and it genuinely deserves way more hype! The fight scenes are also so well executed and tense.

1:09 Nice, I liked Blue Collar a lot. Its kinda sad how much of it is still true. You're right about the cynicism, its probably the most cynical movie I've ever seen. 6:10 I need to rewatch The Host because the first time I saw it I thought it was just ok

[@ley6748]

ive gone down a nathan fielder rabbit hole ever since you mentioned in one of your recent vids that you were watching the rehearsal 😭

[@Sam_ijbol]

spy is literally in my letterboxd top 4 idkw but i just love it so much defo 5/5 ive seen it so many times

[@MelodyTCG]

We met in virtual reality surprised me. I went in to laugh and I came out of it impressed

[@jamesbotha5360]

Now Karaten, I love your vids, they're great man. This is all great, but when are we seeing watcha think of RRR?

[@larabarbosa2110]

everytime month it feels like this video is coming earlier

[@LiTTleGaBi21]

I feel the same about Everything Everywhere and Prey. Didnkt love them but really enjoyed both. And yeah, The Reahersal is great.

[@Mitcheck315]

The Rehearsal and BCS ending the same week was a personal attack on me

[@es_jacque]

I watched: Troy 5/5 A Cabin in the Woods 1.5/5 (Not nearly as good as I was expecting it to be.) Prey 4.5/5 (As someone who also hasn't seen any Predator movies, I enjoyed its respect for its characters and my time. Plus, I really like sci-fi.) They/Them 2/5 (Pretty funny; also the most predictable thing I've seen, maybe ever.) Waterworld 4.5/5 (The set/prop design is immaculate. The CGI, excusable. The rampant misogyny, an unfortunate product of its time, I suppose.)

[@ghostlyarranger]

The Rehearsal and Nathan Fielder are both genius.

[@johnedwardkerr7814]

have a good September!

[@jadedarr2169]

Second time watching through Happy Hour - can't recall if you've ever talked about it but I'm pretty certain you'd adore it. Currently free on pluto tv
