Thank you man, that's really nice to hear! Been a while since this one was released, would definitely say our episodes run a bit smoother now lol Fred

Yeah totally agree man, maybe he should have ended up with Kim 😅

Fight Club is a how to movie, when we get tired of getting fucked....

@@naehafgh Fight Club is a very obvious 'how NOT to' movie.

yea exactly, a cult classic is a film that wasn't a huge success on release but has a grown a loyal audience and an appreciate by the general populous

Does the original Blade Runner fall into your definition of a cult classic? Fred

Not a fan? 😅

Appreciate it man, thank you ! 🙌 Fred

Did you manage to catch the cartoon series they released? I'm wondering whether it's worth the watch. Fred

@@MateNight I love it as much as I love the graphic novels and the movie. Two things I will mention is the man behind all of Scott Pilgrim, Bryan Lee O’Malley, is one of two writers for the anime. He considers each adaptation “its own thing” and I’ll leave it at that. Thanks for this video btw leaving a like and sub for sure.

Ah man that’s so kind of you to say thank you very much. I might check out the anime, been forever since I caught any - think it was JJK last I watched. What’s the best format out of all of the Scott pilgrims or are they all different enough that it’s not really needed? J

@@MateNight The first one that comes to mind when I think Scott Pilgrim, is the movie, as it was my introduction into the universe. That being said, it's porbably the most hollow of the 3, so I'll probably have them like this; 1a: Graphic Novels 1b: Anime 2: Movie 3: Game The game was probably least liked but I don't dislike it, I'm just not much of a 2D side scrolling beat em up type dude.

Completely agree. He has an unusual charisma that comes more from his character and professionalism than his appearance. Good character great performance 👍 J

Difficult to register how bad RD would be with QT playing Mr pink. It would kill the film Buscemi proved himself in RD and his full range still not covered & that with boardwalk empire -a towering slow burn performance over five seasons

Thanks man, just listened to the RIH podcast - that's a really kind comparison 🙌 He's very underrated IMO, always delivers in everything he's in. Fred

Undisputed

That really means a lot, thank you 🙏 Fred

Legend, thank you!

Oh yeah totally agree, we actually just did a video on this. Personally not only do I take no issue with Tarantino’s “postmodernism” but actually I love how passionate he is J

Guilty J

Yum

You got that right - he doesn't make the shit he steals worse lol Fred

Not really

Aha maybe you’ll like the next one you see 👍 J

How do you define it?

"Trying to pass of someone else's work as your own." Oxford dictionary Tarintino wrote the whole movie and directed it. So how can you credit someone else ? I think you mistake taking inspiration from someone's work and plagiarism.

@@ayderla789 That's and overly simplistic definition. Here's a better one (directly from the University of Oxford's webpage): "Presenting work or *ideas* from another source as your own, with or without consent of the original author, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement."

Yeah gotta say happy to be wrong but not sure I agree with you here. I think it even fits the simplistic definition. City on fire isn’t in the credits of reservoir dogs and the core plot of the movie is taken directly from it. It’s not speculation, QT has openly said it. That literally is trying to pass someone else’s work off as your own. For the record if you missed it in the video, we both love his work and take no issue with what he does. But I think it probably is still a form of soft plagiarism. J

Yeah it's good...maybe expand on it with a few more poses so the characters are a little more expressive. But it was edited well so it's not like we're staring at a static image. This is my first video watching your channel so good job I'll subscribe.

Oh my friend thank you so much for the feedback! And the subscribe both mean a lot. That is absolutely the plan if people like it we can invest some more time in making it better. More poses and a bit more detail in the face maybe 🤔 Thanks again! J

I mean, do you think that only people who make films should be able to critique them? No smack talk intended on QT, the guy's incredible. I was more interested in understanding at what point the line is crossed... Fred

Tarantino is my favorite director and writer but come on dude……..stop lol. In order to critique films you gotta be established? If you know QT you know when he doesn’t like a film or actor or genre he is VERY outspoken about it and he doesn’t hide his opinions……so it’s ok for him to discuss but not others? Reservoir dogs is my all time favorite film but he absolutely straight up ripped off city on fire lol

Appreciate it crowz 🫡 think it does seem a little strong “you can’t comment on a film until youve made a full feature length”😅 J

Yep fair enough. Still, I found it very interesting when hearing about the similarities between City on Fire and Reservoir Dogs. And there is clearly a point when it goes to far, just hard to work out where that is... Fred

Welcome aboard mate ✊️ And best of luck with your existential crisis. Fred

Did you watch Deadpool 3?😅 the whole point in the movie is saving marvel! J

@@MateNight yes I did.. No the point of the movie was saving Deadpool's universe.

Yes great example. It was also done with the purpose of gracefully concluding the character arc. In some of these cases, you feel like a movie studio is just wheeling out a character that they have the rights to without any real need to do so. Fred

Fair enough, are there any exceptions?

Yep, good one. No idea how i feel about the one's where they die during filming - guess they have a right to complete the work with them superimposed in. Fred

Easy tiger

😂 punishable by death Yeah seems fair - I’m with you on that although after 70 years maybe who cares at that point? Also some families can be real pieces of work so can they really be trusted?🤔 J

@@MateNight yeah! I don’t see why it wouldn’t be a fair deal. “Ask the family for consent to do da ai ting, and if no then don’t do da ting. If ya do da ting with the dead persons likeness you become dead person with a likeness…a likeness to death” 🤣🤣🤣 But yeah like after 70 years then maybe but also at that point there would likely be no point in doing it anyway. If there was anything they would do they would probably just do the typical thing where an actor/actress played the person who would have been dead for 70 years.

Yeah actually that’s a good point why would you be using an actor who has been dead for 70 years. What about Rudolph Valentino in a 2024 film?😮 I guess who’s really gonna be hurt and it would be interesting J

Really appreciate it mate ✊️ Any film you'd be interested in seeing content on? Fred

Better

Bold claim, any particular reason? Fred

@@MateNight Just don´t watch. Who on earth wanna get robbed 139 mins of their life by Quentin Tarantino. Think about it you will never get that time Back, so don´t do it.

No marketing budget and critics broadly didn’t like it because it was too graphic and cartoonish. Not even legal to show in the UK for a while 😅 took a little bit to get the critics on side J

Missed opportunity there

Should have said the n-word

Too soon for us to get cancelled pal Fred.

Similar situation with an anime we used to watch called Bleach, one of the American voice actors died and they have another cast member doing an impression of him. Always felt that was an interesting direction to go. Famously, they also used an impersonator for Hugo Weaving's part in Infinity War whilst he was still alive - people don't seem to have as much of an issue with that. Fred

@@MateNight not sure why I didn't get a notification for this. Impressions are an interesting workaround I never thought of. Feels more ethical than the AI in Cyberpunk's situation.

Richard, you're an absolute legend. Thank you so much for taking the time to give such a detailed response, we both really appreciated it ✊️ Your point about the exposition-heavy narration being an artistic choice is a very interesting one, that neither of us considered. Have you any ideas as to why he would have chosen to do that? Personally, whether deliberate or not, it didn't work for me at all. I agree that the film is perfect for Tarantinofying - the soundtrack in particular would absolutely slap 👌 Mann and Scott are also great shouts, can't say I'm familiar with the work of Levinson though. My first thought went to Bugsy Malone before you clarified haha 😄 Is it worth a watch? Fred

Nice to see you again James ! Interesting coincidence - what's your position on it all? Fred

Appreciate it James, Jambo's working hard on them 💪

That's so kind, thanks Becky! We had a lot of fun chatting about this one lol. If you enjoy hearing people talk about exasperating films, check out our Furiosa review: th-cam.com/video/T72e2VHq-P4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Nk6M84Nk46_mx_zt Fred

Heya Ingrid 👋 She'd have left before becoming a Nazi I reckon... though would she have got out 🤔? Here's what we think would have happened if they didn't escape to Switzerland: th-cam.com/video/jcHe70S0cGk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hK43cjd2tB00du_0 Reckon we got it right? Fred

@@MateNight will liesl gonna be nice after she became. A nazi and what's a reckon?

@@MateNight I'm making a wattpad story Liesl von Trapp Gruber. Liesl is getting married to Rolf

@@MateNight where did liesl have left before becoming a nazi? Is she becoming a nazi in Austria with her husband Rolf

@@MateNight you mean that Rolf is liesl s husband

Ah that's really kind of you to say thank you brother 🫡 J

Well, here’s my thoughts: he’s a career man. He wants to make the Tangier as big as possible. He’s a professional, the best around at what he does. That’s always driven him. The conflict then is between him and Nicky. Ace wants to (sort of) go legit, Nicky wants to take advantage of the lack of organised crime in Vegas. Actually a really cool bit of conflict that I was 100% invested in and makes an excellent film. Since the Nicky and Ginger affair never amounts to anything, the ginger element becomes superfluous. I wouldn’t mind but it’s also infuriating to be audience to and has no material impact on the gripping Ace/Nicky story. It can be scrapped and the film then also happens to become a more palatable size at the same time. What do you reckon? J
