Half in the Bag: Cocaine Bear, Knock at the Cabin, and The Whale 

Lol.. perfect

It's worth trying to use the light in the scene when you can. But Tarantino famously lights his films like a stage play. Spotlights out of nowhere. Because it's more important for a shot to look right for the tone of the scene, than for it to be "realistic". At least in fiction.

@cal derra Which is a braindead take because movies should be immersive

Elijah Wood said that, not Sean Austin.

Dude I would of as a 27 year old if my other friend didn't go and buy the tickets online. Freaking modern trends taking the fun out of everything.

@Nikky Boy I love having the physical ticket I usually hold onto them and if I buy the movie on dvd or blue ray I put the ticket stub in the case so anytime I go to watch a movie I can say oh I seen that movie in theatres. Plus it’s a nice keepsake to remember when you went and what movies you’ve seen. Same with concert tickets, I prefer the hard tickets to hold onto a keep as a keepsake

@Dylan MacDonald I use to hang on to them but never thought of putting them in the DVD case

Rebels lol

That's because they remember the 1980's.

Slightly disappointed we didn't see the Carrie Fisher clip from the Star Wars outtakes.

And it's about dangerous carnivorous animal acting dangerous and eating flesh (but on cocaine because le funny).

​@Kapn Kerf +1

Well at least they got the lighting right

hear, hear!

THEY JUST WANT MORE CONTENT

Exactly

Absolutely. The Room is so bloody perfect because it was SUPPOSED to be good and it was awful. Stuff like Cocaine Bear was deliberately trying and that just isn't funny.

@Chronic Fatigue Superhero Toxic Avenger or Bad Taste it is not

I squeeze gats

Somebody had to say it.

I like your cyberpunk videos, kudos 👏

I never would've thought to see you in these parts! A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! I love both Red Letter Media, and you Indigo Gaming lol. ❤

i never expected to see the guy who rage quit wayward realms in a redlettermedia comment section

It was a brave decision for the movie to subtitle all the underwater warbling instead of dubbing over, but it absolutely paid off

ok

That actually made me spit good job

That's a really insensitive comment. Shame on you. I thought the story of a Westerner with too much food was very touching.

I mean, for all we know, he could already be working as one. It's usually uncredited work.

The crazy part is that no one fixes the glaring flaws in the script before or during the production of the movie! Most movie scripts seem to be written as if the writers are unaware that they're allowed to go back and change things. Take Prometheus for example: if you give a character a full 3D map of a building and then decide you want him to get lost, you're allowed to go back and NOT GIVE HIM A GODDAMN MAP!

I always feel both their suggestions are always cringe stereotypical hollywood type bs, that if they actually saw in a movie, they would be ragging on

@Lucas Bennett Maybe, but the point is that it would have been more entertaining than what they DID see.

There will always be potential for a sequel like Aliens, but Cocaine Bears. One of the survivors gets reluctantly recruited to join an elite team of overconfident park rangers to investigate a town wiped out by like 50 cocaine bears. At the climax, he rails a shitload of cocaine to take on the last super dripped bear.

its a bad movie, even judged as a comedy. the comedy falls flat and the whole thing is a boring dud.

I want to believe this is true

As I recall they only leaned heavier into the comedy once it became clear that not a single person is going to take the goofy, corny premise seriously. So I guess naturally there must've been someone seriously pitching it at some point. Unfortunately not a great movie in spite of everything.

God, it's not a great movie as it is but without the shlocky bits it would have been absolutely miserable. Studio made the right call on that one.

​@devilmikey00 for every movie ruined by studio, there's a film saved by it

Cameron Mitchell sat so Brendan Fraiser could lay.

Brendan's been through a Tums festival. He earned this.

I agree, Cameron Mitchell definitely deserves a posthumous Oscar

​@Neodeleux 🤣🤣🤣

Fraiser got his daughter to close that f-ing door, at least.

Jay is the snooty, passive aggressive, stuck up film snob. You can tell by his fancy Wisconson accent. He rarely says exactly how he feels but he does say things like "I feel embarrassed for this movie." When he made Space Cop.

@Mr. Magoo he feels embarrassed for that too!

@Mr. Magoo Jay's insufferable, but thankfully Mike is suffering, so it evens out.

​@Mr. Magoo Fancy and Wisconsin in the same sentence 🤣

Hey it's winter in WI you have to put on ten pounds to survive

​@Naomi Robertson What's his excuse for the extra 30

They didn't use any make up or suits 😯

"So what do you do in Lake City while it is snowed in?" "Drink. Tie flies." "What if you run out of beer?" "F*ck." "I'll make sure we don't run out of beer."

Can't wait to see Rich Evans in Cocaine Bear 2: The Showtime Crisis

It was great fun watching the movie. Very hilarious had me chuckling..

That's high praise

They broke new ground!!!!!

😲😲😲😳😳😳

Nice

hahaha I went too. All my highschool friends had a sleepover right after

It was absolutely a “You had to be there” type of movie, and seeing it with a full house was a legitimately great experience.

I had a similar experience with Deep Blue Sea. Tried to watch it at home and realized how bad it really was… but man that theater was having fun.

Also I live near Waylon Jennings Grave and will make sure to leave a copy of Cocaine Bear on it.

We can make 10 cocaine bears and see what happens

Something had to give 🤷

​@Butters /k/unyou're a legend Butters

Plus it had Babier Yoda!

Regardless, tho. The one with the Hoff was fun

his alcoholism has cost him too many braincells

He has Willis brain

Recently re-watched that movie and the half in the bag, both are absolute gems

Often they’re trashing things that I’m passionate about but they have valid points.

So, every conversation for me, then.

For me, it's like listening to internet friends who have never met me talk about stuff I couldn't care less about but am somehow attracted to like a moth to a flame.

I used to love movies. Now I just watch these reviews.

There is an analysis somewhere about the differences, and the film version is basically how Stockholme Syndrome turns victims into cultists. Except the director is also a cultist and thinks he's revealing the Secret Truth. Very popular among the people who'd kill children based on voices in their heads.

"Take Shelter" is the movie you're talking about.

Yeah, I'm also not a fan of the changes that were made.

Maybe a few fart noises too

Gay night club* He's known as the big white depressed bear

I like your pizza tower music

Dick the Cocaine Bear is a whole new level to explore.

rick evans in the manhole

Oh hey POST ELVIS

She's great in The Americans also

@The Clucking Assassin I've never actually seen that, had no idea she was in it! Thanks for the tip.

You mean acclaimed character actress Margo Martindale?

I heard she went into hiding after robbing a bank or something. Its good to know she's still getting good work.

She's doing fine. She's one of the most sought out character actors out there. Not everyone can be A-list and not everything is sO uNdeRraTed.

Or they edited that part out.

Yep. My girlfriend and I are literally renting out a cabin for a long weekend in the middle of Maine for just this reason. We're probably just going to relax in a hot tub for 4 days and stare at a lake. You really can't beat that. Like, there is a central hub for all the cabins where you can kayak or eat food but like... Nah My profile picture might show up but I'll die happy

They could only afford enough CGI to have the bear onscreen for about 20 minutes throughout the movie

Agreed except I think the protagonist should have done meth so the world could finally have a conclusive answer to which is the tougher/cooler drug.

@Hans Matheson both are terrible. You don't even wanna get started trust me been there done that

I need lovable town drunk David Harbour to get lit up with PCP and fight Cocaine Bear while intense music plays.

They all sound generic and terrible to me lol

Must be because of the lighting

Its the scruffy bear hairdo.

Like that he was dead? Or that they placed it over footage him getting ripped up because that was a joke

He was one of the people behind getting this movie made - so he chose the means of his own obituary.

I mean it kind of was - in the film there's a good five minutes between his death and the credits w/ his memorial.

The "in loving memory ", was at the beginning of credits

Wait....so it was not by RLM? Surprising. Not saying they make fun of him. But you think a professional film company would have higher standards.

My hero

Thank you

What happend at 7:36 ?

Many thanks. o7

Unless you're Robert Eggers who will make a film on a budget of 2 million dollars

"My movie studio gave me a small business loan of about 20 million dollars..."

I would easily sacrifice the best film of all time getting made if its budget went to people who actually need that money for things like staying alive.

​@Gargajanglesidk man American psycho is pretty good

Even more crazy movies that make 100s of millions of dollars are considered failures

That’s brilliant

I'm stealing that concept for posterity

Morbius

I agree with you, it really put you in his shoes.

And immediately after Jay says what Mike wanted to say in comprehensible terms. Jay is gonna be Mike's old man interpreter in the future when the karmic dementia inevitably kicks in.

... movie

😂😂😂😂😂😂

what you don't realize is that Mike was speaking the language of his people.

They never got to go kayaking. Tragic.

Me too. I think it's because my own life is so filled with disappointments.

Maybe the true horror was the friends we made along the way. Chilling, I know.

"Hey guys we now have a dedicated category for all those sequels you despise!"

Their criteria for original screenplay is ridiculous as well. A movie like The Favourite that is based on historical events and people is considered original, whereas Glass Onion takes one existing character into a completely original story and it's considered an adaptation

@DoctorXander an existing character created by the guy writing the sequel no less

Every script is adapted from something.

​@DoctorXander Oh.. I see. Huh. Huh?

i’m laughing so hard at this now

Hahahahaha

The whole script made me laugh. Such a dogshit movie.

I was honestly expecting that to happen lol

The book doesn't give you a definitive ending. Which is why I thought he was adapting it. I guess the twist is he decided not to do the twist. 🤷

That's all of his movies since The Village.

@MsAnjelica what was the twist in the book?

@Albtraum Just that you are never told if the apocalypse was real. All the intruders die, the little girl is accidentally killed, and the story basically ends. We don't find out what happens when they leave the woods.

The twist is that was no twist

Me scrolling through unseen movies in my playlist to find Monty python and the holy grail...again

Isn't hiding poor cinematography by just making the whole shot impossible to see a bit like covering up an unseemly pimple on your forehead by dragging a buck knife across it? You've turned a minor blemish into a complete disaster.

@NoEsUnTHvidr its more like putting a bandaid on it. They must think most ppl are stup1d enough to not notice it or not be bothered by it. It drives me nuts though and is ruining cinema imo

Yeah, Jays editing never fails to deliver comedy gold

Good content

The cancellation of Doom Patrol hurts more than the whipping.

@SnapTrap Press Literally worse than slavery, sad.

Money and connections

Its like " This Package of Chips contains Traces of Peanuts" these Days....

@Mike Rauchfuss That's actually the highest rating, because it implies that there's a known contaminant in the factory, usually because they also make a product containing peanuts, sometimes even with the same machine. Now, if it says "MAY contain traces of nuts" it means there's no reason why it would contain nuts, but it costs less to put that warning on the package than to actually make the production process foolproof. I can't remember ever noticing traces of nuts in something that MAY contain them, while it's pretty much 50/50 for products that have the "contains traces" warning label.

@Korgan Rocks I think Peanuts is Important because its the most common Allergie. Anyway, the True Story Aspect is the Trace in the Chips..🤔

@Mike Rauchfuss True, and they're definitely the ones I have the strongest reaction to(I can feel a tickle in my throat just by being in the same room as peanuts).

Seconded! I think GQ (or a similar mag) did a profile on him a few years back before his career renaissance, one of those where the interviewer comes down to spend a couple of days just talking to the subject. Early on, Brendan, clearly going through some stuff (over-the-hill, his marketable years fading behind him, and so on), just up and says something to the effect of "I just need to let some arrows fly, y'know?" He then walked out onto the porch and just started shooting some arrows with a bow (seemingly ready to go for just this purpose) at a well-used target down in the yard. I think he even offered to let the interviewer shoot a few. That, and his whole mature attitude about getting older and coming to grips with faded stardom, always stuck with me.

The Brenaissance is real

Except from people who couldn't tell the difference between the movie and a reflective screen

Yeah, because we’ve been missing such masterpieces as Encino Man, George of the Jungle, and Airheads. A regular Brando.
