My name is Dean and I love to talk about movies.
Most robbed movie ever
Josie And The Pussycats (2001) is one of the most criminally unwatched movies of all time. It's a smart satire about an exaggeratedly opportunistic capitalist record label that manipulates young people into purchasing whatever they want. It's funny and filled with great music. So why don't people remember it?

Why Cinematic Universes Work
มุมมอง 138วันที่ผ่านมา
Cinematic universes are common today, but back in 2008 when Marvel released Iron Man, it was a new idea. Most believe the Marvel Cinematic Universe was born during the post credit scene of Iron Man, but I think there’s more to a cinematic universe than a simple cameo. Today I do a deep dive into what makes a cinematic universe and more importantly what makes a good cinematic universe. #marvel #...

Hollywood is in trouble. Box office sales have plummeted the last few years and with the rise of streaming services, things have never looked worse for the movie industry. But Jim Carrey saw this coming back in 2001 in his movie - The Majestic. The Majestic is about a man (played by Jim Carrey) mistaken for a long lost soldier in a small town. The presumed father, Martin Landau, is a movie thea...

It was too much for Jack Black
มุมมอง 19721 วันที่ผ่านมา
Jack Black is known for rocking in School of Rock as the rock legend that is Dewey Finn, but the ending was almost very different. Jack Black actually got stuck writing the finale for the movie, so he turned to this band to help him make the finale something for the ages! #schoolofrock #jackblack #moviepodcast

Yes! It's time for school! THE SCHOOL OF ROCK! Jack Black stars in this 2003 cult classic, written by Mike White and directed by Richard Linklater, this movie is a powerhouse. It's homage to the rock of the 80's but also a hilarious comedy that deserves more attention. #schoolofrock #jackblack #moviepodcast

Dude it looked good in 2009. Besides i always thought those were real. Looks like fresh adamantium.
*Excellent topic again!!* 🤙🏽🤟🏽👌🏽 Surprising how many movies go "missing" when a similar movie comes out so close to it
Thanks I really appreciate that! What’s a movie you think got unfairly forgotten?
@@deaninreallife I'm guilty of forgettin many of them 😭 its not a great movie but its watchable, I think it's White House down, came out the same time as Oympus has fallen, which was far better in my opinion but if I remember right, White House Down was not bad, just not on the same level
I enjoyed it. Very different tone than Olympus. More comedy.
Yeah I assumed it wouldn't be a movie i like, but now I think i missed out on a good time. Thanks for this vid, gonna go watch this movie!
Great!!!! What was the main thing that made you think that? Also come back and tell me what you thought of it!
Love this, and I must admit.... I never watched this movie, didnt look like my type of thing. But maybe i was wrong.
Thanks man, and yeah if you like Zoolander then most likely you’ll like this one too. Similar vibes despite the terrible marketing.
Great vid!
Thanks bro!
I like VHS because they are convenient. They last a long time, too.
do you think easy made that?
i liked the movie! Signs is the best movie from M.Night ... to me. He is original i like his movies.
Come on dude his claws look realistic than the MCU franchise. your beard looks CGI
It wasn’t that bad at the time
It is old that is why
The Dark Universe's failure is still disappointing. Conceptually, I was all on board (I say conceptually since I literally never saw any of them because they mostly looked like hot garbage). I don't have an issue with them planning a shared universe but that it felt like the idea was more "hey this idea is popular, lets focus on a shared universe" vs "lets make some good films that occur in a shared universe". The Dark Universe is something they already had some built in shared universe. They were all sort of accepted as being in a shared universe already from the original Universal films (including the Abbot and Costello films too) to stuff like the Monster Squad in the 80s or even The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in the early 00s (not all obviously but many of the characters from that era). But they seemed to be so keen on success on the cool idea of the universe than doing the work to get it there.
Absolutely, they needed to crank out some hits with some connective tissue before they called it a universe.
mannnnn jus dont look to hard it b ight
What do you expect from the claws ? They are made of adamantium which is a fictional metal. How do you imagine their look, so picture it and show us.
What's epics you doing a review on a movie that was made a decade again. Go get your pj's with your warm bottle of milk and take.a nap.😊
grown ass man complaining about a superhero movie
Astronomically better than she hulk
It’s not even that bad?
Ngl he just hating it's not that bad
Its iconic i saw it it week ago and can still watch it 100 times again
Honestly, good video and really well edited, shocked you dont have more views but i think they will come. Keep it up!
Appreciate that! Any subjects/movies you’d like to see me tackle?
*Loved this video!!* 🤟🏽⚡️🤙🏽⚡️👌🏽 Well thought out and put together 👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks man, means a lot!
I didn’t complain cause I was a fucking young teen lol bro. I was just excited too see a mf Wolverine movie! Yeah if you watch it now you notice! But when you was in the theatre you was going crazy in your head like bro this movie lit!
Honestly I hate technology it ruined everything kids don’t look up from their game most of the time everything’s on your phone I wish we could go back to a good time like the 90s or something where people didn’t stay inside all the time. And I’m saying this as a 15 year old
I remember being shocked in theaters at how bad this CGI looked. I didn't totally hate the movie, but that scene has never left my mind for how bad it looked.
Ah, weird to see Orgins get the Prequel effect. All the kids who grew up on this movie have grown up and have a love for it, so now its an "over hated hidden gem." Orgins isn't the worst movie every, but definitely one of the worst x-men movies.
It would have been cheaper to just make prop claws
It was 15 years ago. Back then it looked awesome.
Imagine whining about something from 2009. What do you expect from a 15 year movie that has outdated CGI tech that is dwarfed by the newer versions of that software and the now updated graphics of the "veiwing experience" stop whining and find something worth while to whine about. Its MOVIE meant to ENTERTAIN PEOPLE not something to nitpick about.
Great video. Good quality sound, visuals, and lighting. Got a sub from me👍
Thanks I really appreciate that! What do you think about RDJ as Doom?
While everyone's entitled to their own opinion, for the time it was good cgi. It took a lot of animators and tech to get everything down and as a teenager who got to see this in theaters with an xmen comic in hand, it was magical. It's almost a 20 year old movie, the editors and animators did an amazing job.
I still find the movie enjoyable but the plastic claws you can get off Amazon look better than the ones in this scene
Theaters can't make the changes you want if they don't make enough money... And they can't make enough money if Hollywood keeps producing garbage that no one wants to see on the small screen, much less the big. The Fall of Hollywood is entirely on Hollywood...
I actually liked this movie.
Nice! What’s you favourite Jim Carrey movie?
This is why Blumhouse and A24 are killing it. They allow directors to be creative within a tight budget. we get movies like Longlegs and Trap. Bad movies that can still make their budget back. But we also get Get Out, US, and Pearl which can make 20-40 million on a low budget.
Very true. What’s your favorite A24 film? Mine is The Florida Project.
Movies used to be accessible, and some people don't have any consideration for the rest of us who are trying to watch the movie, I've seen kids with iPads watching cartoons, cellphones on, people just being annoying and loud, it has become frustrating and the main reason why I kind of stop going to the movie place.
That’s a big problem for sure. What do you think theaters could do to fix that problem?
@@deaninreallife enforce the rules, remove the bad apples...
@@BlueTearDconnor makes sense. They’d need more workers though.
Frank Zappa, by the way, speaks in an interview about why music in the 60s and 70s was so great. And he says that the cigar-chomping producers took risks and all there is nowadays is hip punks who claim to know what the audience wants, but they're playing it safe and the end result sucks. You wanna see some good movies? If yes - get rid of social media, paid youtube "reviewers" and entertainment journalism. Get rid of trailers, commercials and online publicity stunts. Get rid of hype, streaming, fan-baiting, fan-service and corporate takeover. And when you put writers in the writers' room, lock the producers out of there. And no more test screenings. Did you know that the original Die Hard test screening had audiences laugh when they saw Bruce Willis' name, prompting the company to remove his name and face from all of the advertisement? So absurd to think now, in hindsight, that Bruce Willis would be a hard sell as an action hero... Johnny Depp, Leo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling, Robert Pattinson, they were all perceived as pretty boys with no acting skills until the proper visionary gave them direction and TOOK A RISK. Most of my favorite Hollywood movies I grew up with had really bad reviews, including The Majestic. Just goes to show the public don't know a good movie when it hits them. Interstate 60 is my favorite Hollywood movie and hardly anyone has ever heard of it... and it's good because it was original and had amazing writing and wonderful acting. Nowadays most movies suck cause they lack all of these things.
Wouldn’t be a bad idea to focus cinemas on low budget creative movies and the odd *BIG* movie . If studios branched out to the more creative low budget movies that would reduce the overall cost and give more creative artists somewhere to get a start and would drive people into the cinema . They should also be Cinema exclusive for the running period. With the correct marketing this model would do good (I think anyway*)
I'm so glad that clique of Hollywood elites no longer get to shape entire cultures with their magic light and sound boxes, corrupting, propagandizing and degenerating society so they can buy themselves another yacht. I didn't watch Oppenheimer, I got the book on which it was based that, as an audio book, took about 13 times longer than the movie to get through and cost a third as much as a theatre ticket. Sure i might have missed out on some computer generated atoms, but I feel pretty smug compared to everyone who paid to see the film, walked out and forgot most of it by the time they got home.
The Majestic is a phenomenal movie, so glad it's finally getting the credit it deserves.
Right?!? It’s so underrated. What’s your favourite part?
This video just showed up amongst my other suggestions, and I am GLAD that I clicked. Thank you, you actually said most of what I think, and you chose a great movie to use as a backdrop for it all. I'll check out some of your other videos, and subscribe :)
Awesome. Thanks for check it out. Any other factors you think I should have added?
I often go to small arthouse cinemas that luckily still exist where I live. If you talk about the movie experience, those big cinemas don't even give out tickets anymore, just qr codes or receipts. I used to collect my movie tickets. Now the only thing that reminds you of your movie night is the ridiculous popcorn bucket you paid 20 dollars for (or more, I'm not from the US, I don't know). In addition to movies getting worse is that tickets get more and more expensive. Deadpool was 30 euros in IMAX, I paid half that for Dune II. And people here still talk about movie tickets being below 10 euros not so long ago. The price increase is wild. I still go to the movies but I only watch movies in cinema where I know I'm gonna love it. For movies that are "just okay" I'll gladly wait for the streaming release one or two months later. Back in the day (sounding really old) we had to wait a year or so for the VHS/DVD release. Edit: and btw here in Germany cinema revenue has tripled since 2020 so it may not be about the movies at all but about cinemas, ticket prices and things like this.
Funny. No wonder the revenue tripled since 2020... Everything was closed during Covid. You have to take that into account and you didn't. 2023 was 9,3% under the 2019 revenue with 12,5% higher ticket prices.
I hear ya. Those popcorn buckets have jumped the shark. I think prices are so high because fewer people are attending. Maybe if more folks were at the movies they’d be cheaper???
Problem for me, there's no movies I get excited about. The only times I think where I was truly tingling to watch the magic and wonders of what I'll be watching, was The Matrix, Avengers and Batman Vs Superman (and Justice Leauge, before I realised how WBs utterly destroyed it). Batman Vs Superman I watched 4 times in the cinema! One of my favourite movies ever!
I hear ya. Looking at the rest of the year, I only see ya few I’m excited about. Any on your must see list left this year?
@deaninreallife The only definite, go-to a movie and pay money for next film is The Batman 2. I would of included Joker 2, but it looks to me like they've ruined it by adding 'Harley Quin' also making it a musical! They'll be loads of movies I'll watch and vaguely be excited for, but goto the cinema and pay money, nothing immediately jumping out at me otherwise. You?
@@dylangeorge7956 yeah I think the only movie I’m super excited for is Gladiator 2 and maybe Sonic 3 just because my sons love him so much.
@deaninreallife I've just told AI to give me a list of 50 movies in next two years, and my original comment stands. All the movies just look... so uninspiring. I saw Matrix 5 in the list! I loved the Matrix 'TRILOGY' any more, na. I'm a massive DC Synder fan, so my interest in movies has taken a massive hit since Warner Brothers destroyed that fan journey. I liked Sonic 1, and really most animations, but not cinema worthy for me.
hollywood went woke, went broke
People keep repeating this but no, it's not the reason at all. barbie is "woke" and was a massive hit. Hollywood went money hungry, afraid of risk, playing it safe for so long that people get bored of the 100th reboot, sequel or spinoff.
@@sm0k1nggnu_ that too
I think there is some truth to this, but I’d say they went boring. No more pushing the envelope. Everything is so cookie cutter.
@@deaninreallife yes this is 100% true, movies are expensive and they don’t dare trying to risk anything, it’s all about the shareholders, sadly
Very good video - thanks
Appreciate that!
Hollywood's been here before. The mid 1960s and the old guard was dying off and not admitting it and thus kept cranking out tired things like big budget historical dramas and musicals that nobody was going to see anymore. "Paint Your Wagon", anybody? Enter the counterculture with "The Graduate", "Bonnie and Clyde", "2001", "Easy Rider" and "The Wild Bunch". Suddenly American films were relevant again. Movies were again being made for an audience that was most likely to go to the movies. AKA the American youth. The problem today is that it's no longer about the American, but instead the Global market. Hence, endless, mindless, pointless "movies" with guys (and gals) in tights throwing each other into buildings. The big studios are now focused in terms of a global return on its investment and thus movies that simply show things in a simplistic, black and white, good versus evil, formulaic, beat-to-death, story arc that is told almost exclusively visually are what they produce for a global market than, say, the next "Chinatown" or "Schindler's List". So everyone else who isn't paying $100.00 a couple to go out to the local cineplex is now instead sold a "hunting license" aka "streaming services" to hopefully find the next "Breaking Bad" or "Game of Thrones"- y'know something for people who like a little nuance in their viewing experience. But as production costs escalate even there, you can expect cheaply made "reality" shows and the like to soon invade the home viewing arena as well. All this while subscription prices inexorably continue to climb. So yeah, what to do? Well, buy and own your own movies: DVDs, Blu Rays, 4ks, all with a pile of players, all kept in a cool, dry place until needed. Screw 'em until the conglomerates wake up and start making what people actually want to see again. That is, without constantly paying for a subscription and hoping that the show or movies they love will still be there the next time they want to see them. Be your own Movie Mogul. Own 'em already and watch "The Kid Stays in the Picture".
My daughter is 11 now and have no intrest at all in movies, and she probebly never will be. The next generation will be even harder to reach with full lenght movies
My oldest son is around that age, I started showing him classic movies like Jaws and ET and that seems to have helped.
Everyone in Borderlands was poorly cast. The movie should not have been made.
I mean at this point, that’s a definite. Who do you think would make for a better cast?
