    We watched the lord of the rings for the first time during quarantine and decided to watch all the hobbit movies this weekend. They are no where near as good but we still had a lot of fun watching them. That scene with the barrels going down the river from the second one ruled.

    I was never a particular fan of the Lord of the Rings but they have much more care and art than the thirty mega-franchises that reign these days.

    Never been super big into fantasy LotR/Game of Thrones type stuff. My opinion? Not enough guns

    LOTR movies are great but hobbits are as bad if not worse than star wars sequel trilogy

    Is The Game worth watching? Not sure if it’s streaming, but just watched a podcast about Fincher’s work. I guess that’s my only blind spot. Completely forgot he did Benjamin Button also lol.

    The Game is fantastic. Don't read anything on it.

    The Game is not very good, the "twist" is terrible. Maybe it was good in 1997 but it didn't age well

    This is hopefully going to be proven to be unsustainable sooner than later.

    The trailer for the new Batman movie looks good and I enjoy the work of both Pattinson and Reeves, but I weirdly have no desire to actually see it.

    Why is YouTube film criticism so bad?

    It is strange that a primarily visual art form is so poorly represented in video essays. There are a lot of video essays for video games that can go in-depth and reveal a lot about the experience, but YouTube film critics are worse than almost anything you would find in written criticism.

    also, the game is probably finchers most underrated film (though i haven’t seen alien 3)

    There are few things I have less interest in than a youtube film review

    There are both good and bad reviewers regardless of the medium

    The Plinkett reviews, at least the first few, show the potential power of the medium. That takes a lot of time and effort, though.

    I mean, I think that's the issue right there. A very in-depth video essay is harder to make and the creator isn't necessarily going to be rewarded by YouTube's algorithm for doing so. But toss up a <10 minute review in-front of a green screen and you're good to go. It also helps you win the race to be first.

    Lord of the Rings is incredible. The Hobbit trilogy was one of the most blatant film cash grabs ever
