Half in the Bag: Bill and Ted Face the Music

- Mike and Jay face the music and review the new 30-ish years later Bill and Ted sequel. Once again, they are joined by their very special guest, the noisy cricket. That guy just loves sitting in on their discussions!
- บันเทิง
Jay has absolutely mastered his "caveman staring into the fire" look.
First perfected in the Prometheus review
I thought it was his "Keanu on a parkbench eating a sandwich" look.
He looks like an extra from Quest For Fire.
His hair looks fantastic.
I thought it was his "gazing long into the abyss" look
I don't know what it is, but Mike looks really handsome this episode.
That's because he's a goof-a-ball
he's one wild stallion for sure
It's that beard ♥
You look handsome levison
i think the lockdown weight gain has done him some good, he always looked like he needed a few extra pounds
Despite all the controversy, I'm glad they recast Mike Stoklasa, he was looking increasingly senile, repeatedly mumbling about Star Trek
I would actually watch that, though: just Mike telling Jay, ‘you know, they already did this in Voyager’.
Mike Stoklasa is the Joe Biden of RedLetterMedia.
Mike Stoklasa likes Star Trek?
@@johnferguson4869 So you'd watch RLM is what you're saying lol
Its like when they ditched Kes in Star Trek : Voyager and replaced her with 7 of 9.
The guy who played Bill in the embarrassing 1992 Bill and Ted TV series is named Evan Richards. Think about that.
Just looked it up. This is the most excellent level of stupid coincidence that I expect from RLM.
Very Cool, I wouldn't have looked it up myself.
Its like POETRY!
Rich couldn't even say his name right...
Isn’t Evan Richards the legal representative of RLM, expert in occupational and recreational asbestos exposure and groinular injury related litigation
I'm glad Mike has started taking care of himself, he is looking much healthier and virile.
This is what he looks like sober.
Praise the lord, he finally stopped drinking
He traded the bottle for a TUMS festival
He looks much richer. (Get it?)
This comment gave me big larfs
actually, I kinda like the idea that their daughters were in Hell for 30-something years, but they’re just so naturally upbeat and cheerful that it never got them down much
I thought that was the idea too, but the other characters that went with them also acted like no time has passed. It would've been so funny if the daughters acted all cheerful and happy and then another character walked up, looking all miserable, yelling about having been in hell for so long.
@@Katyamuffin YES! And that's how you write jokes, you fucks!
That's what I thought too. Fits so perfect for funnies.
It's supposed to be boys not girls I watch bogus journey a few times
Mike, depressed that Shatner hates him, took his own life and had to be recast.
And then cackled from the afterlife when his bargain bin replacement went, "Because I'm Mike!"
he haunts the studio to get Rich to call Ghost Adventures. just as planned
@@gabrieltsgardner9942 abandoned and burnt down Wendys
@@onelividguardsman5681 DUDE RUN!!!!!
- Zak Bagans
Eventually both of them will be replaced by Rich talking to himself and mispronouncing words
Also correcting himself, but the corrections are also wrong
I can dream
And laughing out loud
Heh. Wait a minute..... if Rich is Mike then that means Mike must be Plinkett right now and is working on a Plinkett ROS review!
"That's dwight, Jabe!"
"It's an okay movie."
-Jay Bauman
That should be the only endorsement they need on the dvd case
“You kinda have to have lower expectations, this isn’t a Star Wars” is a bold claim to make post prequel AND sequel trilogy, Jay
Yeah I've been approaching star wars with low expectations since I saw the special editions as a kid
I dunno, those big, empty CGI spaces they were walking through really reminded me of the prequel scenes where people would walk and talk.
@@nivekleveb8872 minus the genndy tv series, of course
@@ayylmao2190 I actually did approach that with extremely low expectations and that ended up probably being my favorite peice of Star Wars, period. Excellent call.
ayy lmao Filoni Clone Wars is better
At last, Mike has finally completed his plan and merged with Rich Evans' body.
I watched b&tftm, im really proud of myself. Didnt even hate life afterwards, i felt feelings
Mike Stoklasa is the most powerful scanner in existence.
Master Mikehanort
@J. Curtis Strickland God damn it I was coming to make that joke. Now my morning is ruined...
Don't you mean merged with Mr. Plinkett? 🤔
Keanu Reeves sounds like someones dad trying to do an impression of Ted.
I was going to say that that's exactly what it was, but then I looked up whether Keanu Reeves had kids and now I'm sad
Ted's Dad did a pretty excellent impression of Ted.
@@judasboogie yes
Everyone is overthinking this. Keanu Reeves just don't smile anymore.
He simply had youthful energy and after going through some personal stuff he isn't the same
I'm no gynecologist, but I don't think that's Mike.
That’s either famous Hollywood celebrity Rich Evans or mike suddenly became really handsome
OOOOOOOOF
I mean, Mike is great and all but have you seen Dick the Birthday Boy? (Edited)
Ophtohawgist*
@@jereXIX thats dick the birthday boy thank you very much.
Keanu Reeves does not look ageless without a beard
Pretty sure some of it was makeup explicitly designed accentuating his age.
He looks like a chief of a reservation without the beard.
The only person in the world to look older WITHOUT a beard...lol
@@ravenshrike No. He's 55. He looks like a guy in his late 40s - early 50s that takes care of himself. They don't need to make his face look 40+ when he already looks 40+.
for sure. its kinda crazy how big of a difference that makes.
"It´s a series about these two dumb but good-natured guys who go on fantastical adventures."
Richard Evans about "Half in the bag"
...good natured?
@@elowin1691 it is two friends being there for each other while taking care of an old man's property. So they are good-natured indeed!
@@Vivitsuwaifu They were just a couple of songwriters who came to Ishtar to break into show business...
at this point, Rich has helped add more words to the English vocabulary than Shakespeare....
Vochabularry
Wilhelm Shake-a-sphere
I dunno at this point it’s getting superfluous
we need a Rich Evans dictionary.
Chable
'Here's my history with Keanu Reeves...'
And thus the Rich Evans canon expands...
Him and Keanu are on a Whoa Due Guide basis
Rich Evans was in this?!
@@funkybunko That's Mike, silly
Ed Solomon: We cut so much, due to budget. We cut scenes and we cut scope, and sadly, we didn’t really have enough time to shoot it. We had to work pretty quickly because we didn’t have enough money to completely make the movie. Before we started shooting, we lost a series of scenes that, in hindsight, we might miss. We did end up whittling the script down to what people tended to believe were it’s central core elements, simply to make the production schedule and the production budget. We weren’t allowed to have any flights of fancy, or scenes that went off, but didn’t serve the plot. We had to tighten it up. That’s why it’s a 90-minute movie. That was all we could shoot, basically.
Aaaaaand that explains why it doesn't completely suck, most likely!
Honestly, this might have been for the better. Sometimes having constraints fosters creativity more than free reign and a blank check.
@@Luschan Art from adversity
Meanwhile, huge, uncreative piece of shit films and franchises get more money an time than god.
I'm happy with the final product but would've also loved to see the "bigger" version as well. It's a moot point since this is the film they made.
This franchise really is Bill and Ted's Omitted Adventure.
"Is that Mike? He looks a little different"
Credits: Created and Hosted by Mike Stoklasa and Jay Bauman
"Checks out"
Those goof-a-balls
but that's a different guy
He clearly states he is Mike at 34:20
I don't even watch movies anymore, just Half In The Bag reviews
You should watch this movie it's pretty good
They're half as expensive and twice as entertaining.
Well, there aren't any movies right now anyway
@@derschurkemitdergurke9476 Then where did the Dune teaser trailer leak come from?
@@TheLazySamurai From the teaser trailer
The "cave that looks like a face" in Hell is a reference to an awesome polish painter named Zdzisław Beksiński. It's hilarious because his art is terrifying and inspired by the horrors of living through WWII in Poland, so whoever thought to put this recreation in a Bill and Ted movie of all things is a genius and a madman.
Thought I was the only one that noticed 🦉
Beksiński really is a genius.
I was hoping someone caught that!
have you by any chance seen Astartes? it's a short film series on youtube and it takes clear inspiration from his work too. If you're a fan of Beksiński you'll probably like it
Too bad they didn’t use more of that genius on the script. Face The Music was an unnecessary snoozer.
Everybody mentioning Mike being more handsome, but nothing about Jay's transition into David Spade.
Jay is trying too hard though.
In times like this there's no need to be cruel.
Are you implying on the next half in the bag, Jay is gonna turn into a llama?
Is Rich Evans replacing Paul Blart: Subplart?
Mike was 47 when Billl and Ted came out, glad to see that he got to view the new one before he passes away.
Behind the scenes facts: The role of Mike Stoklaza is played by celebrity guest star Richard Evans.
Stoklasa
It took seven minutes to make.
@@radoslawszymula6560 Schtoklaszha
"Goof-a-balls" has permanently been added to my vocabulary.
I giggle every time I remember this
Mamma mia thems-a spicy goof-a-balls
That's a funny a-goof-a-ball!
This was fun but honestly I want to hear Rich Evans' opinion on this.
That means Jay has to stop talking 😂😂
Rich is just passive tbh
William Lampke agreed
I understood your joke here.
Rich hasn't been on the show for a while. He's probably out trying to bring about world peace.
Professor Snape looks strange without his robes.
Rich: It would be cool if Bill and Ted had a cliche plot about not connecting with their daughters.
Jay: No.
And Jay's right
I agree with Rich. That would have been nice to see.
I hate pointless family drama fluff in movies its always terrible and either unrealistic or not fun to watch cuz it hits to close to home, literally, and they always resolve the plots in the most lazy no shit way like yeah they just needed to talk omg wow, in real life thats either happened but didn't solve anything or they wouldnt suddenly one day decide to talk, like its just a bad thing to write about and then they always try to put it in comedy? Its really a stressful subject its not good comedy material, so yes im very glad they didn't do one of those plots lol
RicoSeattle Why? Sounds like the worst idea of all time.
Jay's cosplay of Leon from Resident Evil is looking good.
how about mike's cosplay of barry?
The fact that Ted almost never smiles in this movie is proof that Sad Keanu isn't just a meme.
I mean, can you blame the guy? His real life story is tragic and heartbreaking but also inspiring as to how someone so famous can deal with so much awful shit but still be a huge megastar celebrity whilst remaining grounded and down to earth and just living his life quietly using public transport and living in a small flat and giving away most of his movie money to others.
@@NateTheScot youre right, Cyberpunk 2077 release was a real tragedy, could have break anyone
But Keanu smiles in all the interviews for it though. He ain't sad. It's like someone (or studio?) put pressure on him to be serious in this film to not contradict his John Wick persona perhaps?
@@NateTheScot "his real life story" - What's so "tragic" about having a bazillion dollars and the clout to do anything you feel like doing? Please inform me of the many tragedies that break your heart
@@clumsiii Entire family died despite throwing millions for medical bills.
Keanu performance seems like Ted has had low key depression for years. He's just tired.
He looks soooo sad...
His fame and wealth aside life really fucked him over with things nobody should have to live with.
The weird thing is you see him in interviews and he's all smiles, so we know he's capable.
I think it was just a weird acting choice where he wanted to appear washed up, like he doesn't have that optimism Young Ted had.
LustyVonSexist I mean he says it in the movie (and trailer) that he’s just tired from all the trying a failing. I felt he was playing up the weight that such high expectation and consistent failure has had on him. they also brought up how he just wasn’t in touch with himself anymore
"Goof-a-balls" - Mike, 2020
Goof-a-balls - "Mike," 2020
sub plart
"A-hyuk, check out my goof-a-balls, Max"
30:15 Is that a Mike snigger I hear?
Mike can never pronounce anything properly, this is proof.
The thing they discuss about Keanu not being 'that guy' anymore is probably truer than they realise. Between 1999 and 2001, his daughter was stillborn and he was in a horrific car accident that killed his partner. That clearly shook him to his core - he has been much more introverted ever since.
In order for Keanu to become John Wick he needed to remove the “dude” from his soul. But it was too powerful and the dude created a new human vessel which became this actress
Sooooo he pulled a Vergil/Urizen/V from DMCV? dope.
The result being someone I've only seen murdering people in cool ways in other movies as well. Checks out.
One of my favorite parts of the first two movies is, in Bogus Journey, when they propose to the princesses... they say "will you marry us?". No one even bats an eye, and it's great.
"You're gonna save the universe someday, and you still haven't done it." is the milennial experience. they gassed us up pretty hard
I'm absolutely convinced at this stage that politics consists of going into Old Country Buffet and asking the over-50s what they want. We missed the post-war gravy train.
@@tedpilledtonysoprano5512 you're a millennial too. Apparently the dates are 1982 to 1999. Generations are a scam anyways.
You believed that stuff? lmao dork
@@mayonnnnnaise 1980 to 2000
Millenials are hitting 40 now.
@@baronvonlimbourgh1716 there’s some debate about 1980, some say it’s the end of generation x
Keanu as a person acts like he's turned Ted's stoner-Cali personality into an adult version; he has evolved it into a sort of slackjawed zen. Something respectable in that.
On the other hand, he looks like Neil Breen with a foppy wig.
Thanks, Bro.
I can't unthink that sh1t
He should have never shaved for this role
YES! Neil Breen that's exact! That is how his performance felt in this movie.
"they didn't F it up." is the best review i have heard this year.
They didn't TOTALLY fuck it up.
Bram Stoker’s Dracula would be a fun re:view
yes!
It is no laughing matter
They did it today
@@StabStabStabStabby I know! Thank you for replying to this. I knew I commented it somewhere but I couldn’t remember where haha
You get all the credit
Subplart - noun:
A subpar subplot
Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter patiently waiting for the RLM review to get a "I didn't hate it." so they can tell if it was a success or not
It's not a fuck up.
*EXCELLENT!*
Not a total fuck up.
*Bogus...*
It’s not really the “Whoa dude” it’s the lack of smiling, That’s why the daughter character nailed it.
The daughters never talk to their mothers once in this whole movie.
But the daughters are how you could create a spinoff. Not the forced ghostbusters way.
The Princesses are the most useless characters ever.
The princesses were secretly dead the entire movie.
The Bechdel Test strikes again!
@@dac314 The true test of hack writers everywhere! It's mind blowing hack third wave feminists are still virtue signaling that
"Be excellent to each other." The only motto everyone needs to live by.
Party on, dude.
The Keanu Reeves thing reminds me of when Werner Klemperer did a "Colonel Klink" cameo on the Simpsons. Despite being such an iconic roll, he had forgotten how to do the character due to the amount of time since he last played it. The show runners had to find old footage to show him how to do it and practice with him until he could get back into that character.
This is my favorite movie of the year so far. It's so unabashedly optimistic and cute it just makes everything seem like it'll be alright. I was in tears during the climax when everyone was playing music together it was just so so wholesome.
And finally the best red letter media member is back. . .
The cricket
I feared the cricket got Covid and didn't recover. Glad to know cricket masks work!
Keanu: Father abandons him at 11. Sister gets leukemia. Best friend dies of an overdose. Stillborn daughter. Wife dies in a car crash. "Grief changes shape, but it never leaves me."
Jay: "Looks like he's struggling to smile!"
We all go through stuff. Why's he still letting that hold him back after all these years? If thats the case then maybe his should have gone to counselling or therapy and chose a different career. Not good to carry personal issues that long. I always hoped he'd improve in acting. Thats just the way he is unfortunately.
@@mpeacraft8585 Yeah, why did Keanu Reeves, star of The Matrix trilogy and titular star of the John Wick series, not choose a different career? He'd have found some actual success, maybe.
UliaAB It only works because his characters from those movies are stoic and don’t require much expression.
@@mpeacraft8585 Being able to portray stoicism and people suffering from grief and depression are extremely valuable acting tools. You don't have to be happy go lucky to be an actor, just a really bizarre take.
UliaAB True but having range is more important. Put him next to Tom Hardy. See whose better.
"Sometimes okay is good enough".
That's a good way to look at it. Not everything needs to be a mind blowing, life altering experience. There's times you just want to be entertained for ninety minutes.
Mike's hair loss progressed hard and fast. Got prettier, though.
Rich and Mike just gave theirs to Jay
I heard on a stormy night.. not so long ago.. in a town like this town... behind the Walmart... Mike was bitten by a Were-Rich Evans.
He lost some weight though.
Cute though. Built good.
As someone who had never seen the bill & ted movies before, I watched them to "prepare" for the new movie. And I am the person they talk about when saying they want to bring it to the new generation. The complaints of it being low budget and not making sense are strange when to me that's a large part of the charm of the series. I'm also not clouded by nostalgia for the first two and don't hold them up as masterpieces as I've seen some reviewers do 😂 that being said, I'm a new bill & ted fan as it's so refreshing to see protagonists who are so positive about everything and never fight. I'd say the movies are all about as good as each other as they all have highpoints and flaws. If they'd never made this movie, I'd probably have never bothered watching the originals but I'm really glad I did. Be excellent to each other. 🤙
"Whoa, dude, you really are from the future!"
As an old fart who watched the first Bill & Ted film in the '90s, I just had to do that, even though it might be considered cringey dad humour.
Glad to see this series works intergenerationally.
Stay excellent, dude!
@@elfsieben1450 lmao my dad showed me these films when I was growing up in the late 90s. Perhaps it's all about the intergenerational time-warping capacity of love and treating one another with respect and care?? Christopher Nolan, I suddenly feel like your movie Interstellar is a conceptual rip off! XD
Party on dudes
Mind if I ask what age you are? I ask as one thing I find odd about young people today is that quite a few of them won't watch anything made before they were born. I imagine both movies (especially the first) would look _very_ dated.
I love it when a series recasts a main character and doesn't even acknowledge it. Truly the quality I expect from RLM.
Jay hit the nail on the head about watching Keanu Reeves. He outgrew the dumb guy role, and it's probably hard for him to get back into that headspace he was in 30 years ago.
It was like someone doing an impression of Keanu Reeves as Ted.
He just couldn't get that relaxed face going. He looked different levels of concerned the whole movie and that's not Ted. Ah well.
@@guyjperson He never smiled. Ted was known for his warm, and goofy smile, but he looked dead inside for the whole movie.
Keanu went through a lot of tough stuff and it's clear he outgrew the role both personally and professionally. I still find it admirable that he came back and clearly really wanted to do the movie though.
I'm glad noisy cricket has returned to reprise his role!
Like a lot of people, I now know Alex Winter as "the guy who regularly emailed me with updates about the Frank Zappa documentary that I helped Kickstart."
He will forever be Ricky coogin: childstar turned freak, to me.
Nice to see you in this part of the internet Krud!
That Zappa doc was great, thanks for helping make it happen
There wasn’t a single elderly joke this whole review... honestly Mike is really losing his edge.
Well ,he did gain some weight.
Still has PTSD from Shatner making fun of him
At least he stopped with the racism. And the homophobia. And the antisemitism. And the-
So, I had a good laugh the other day. I was in my car listening to a news radio station, and some commercial ad was playing. I don't even know what the ad was for, but there was this familiar sounding jazz piano music playing in the background. My first thought it was from the Vince Guaraldi, Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack, then it hit me... "Holy shit, it's the Half in the Bag music!!!!" Made my day.
Jay is literally going through the styles of Captain America
He's gonna be a digitalised old man in a future video, just watch.
Everything except the muscles
*officially*
Mike's looking a bit different too
Jay has such a good point about how there's no hackneyed internal drama.
"Nothing matters anymore." What a nice, wholesome send-off for the conclusion of this series.
It needed an epilogue
Its demoralizing ‘propaganda’ just like TLJ
Rich Evans has finally replaced Mike Stoklasa
But is Mike Stoklasa replacing Rich Evans' diabetes medicine?
It took 12 years
He ate him.
Apparently they cut a scene from the script that explained the time travel issues as time from a different possible future colliding on the main timeline, but they realized how distasteful a Cgi George Carlin would be. Now only if Disney could've learned that lesson.
I feel like they kept the explanation that it is actually POTENTIAL futures they're visiting, but it just gets lost in the frantic speed of the film. Also, my favorite line in the movie that ties in with the explanation: "Oh, I'm also an infinite being now."
@@curtismoore4347 Capped of perfectly with the qualifier, "in case you were wondering." Which no one in the scene has a response to at all.
RLM is unironically selling me on watching this movie
It’s awful save your money
It isnt good
If you aren't already a Bill and Ted fan, you won't get much out of it. I'm a pretty big fan and I thought it was okay, but unlike the previous movies it isn't good enough to ignore the problems it has
I thought it was awful. They really did fuck it up.
@@makasete30 Aw, I've just seen it and I actually unironically liked it, and I'm pretty embittered about most film-making now. At least we both got an RLM video out of it though, huh?
Someone tell that hack Jay: the opposite of an arc is still an arc
Woah dude
... EXCELLENT!
A circle?
Like a ring?
STAR WARS RING THEORY
Are you telling me the whole time I was watching this THE CRICKET WAS COMING FROM THE VIDEO?
Grown up Ted is like the Evil Cooper version of young Ted.
“You kind of have to have lower expectations, this isn’t a Star Wars movie” you must not know how low our expectations for Star Wars have become.
The original trilogy and the sequel trilogy were not excellent to each other.
I swear Mike gets more dreamy with every passing video. Wait a minute that's... OH MY GAAAAHD!!!
Mike has diabetes now!!
The twist is in Bill and Ted's universe, the past and future coexist simultaneously and effect each other in real time. San Dimas, according to Kristen Schaal's character, is the center of space and time. That's as deep as explanation as you will ever need in a Bill and Ted movie.
Alex Winter directed a great documentary about the Panama Papers (called the Panama Papers), which is free on prime, definitely worth checking out
had a new one about child stars come out recently which is currently on HBO Max. haven't seen it my self but it definitely looks interesting, at the very least it gives a number of child stars the opportunity to bring their unfortunate childhoods to light
While the documentary was good, the subject matter is dicey and suspect. The "independent" journalists featured on the story (Independent Consortium of Independent Journalists) is basically a Bezos-funded vanity project. The exception was the Maltese journalist who was killed. She was on the level.
These journalists were led down the rabbit hole, exactly where someone wanted them to go. The target of the investigation were basically doing what every millionaire and billionaire does.
Zappa doc coming out soon too !

Fun Fact: Keanu Reeves was a main role (uncredited) in "Freaked" as Ortiz the Dog Boy.
The bridge and buildings actually exists. It's the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, Spain.
Damn, you're right. I'll blame it on the really flat cinematography of the movie that a real place looks like it was done by prequel trilogy ILM.
I figured it existed somewhere. It was green screen when Bill and Ted landed there. But it was practically shot when it is suddenly night, and they head back to the phone booth. Thanks for that info.
Alpha Omega it reminds me of the ‘future’ city in the Doctor Who ep with the emoji bots
Yeah I think it was used in Westworld
Not gonna lie. The song that Wyld Stallyns play at the wedding scene at the beginning of the movie was 🔥🔥🔥
Better than the song at the end lol
+1
You should've lied.
I like how everyone is shocked except the two daughters
If you listen to the full version of the song, you can hear ALL the musicians that the daughters collected participate in the second part of the song- that song *was meant to be the final song of the movie* imo! But then the film makers made a pussy move and changed it to that boring weak crap :/
In the final scene, when Bill and Ted go into the phone booth, there's a flash of cartoon 80s lighting effect with all the cgi lightning and I really appreciated that.
wild that mike would say such a rich evans-esque word as “subplart” 🤔🤔🤔
we need a definition for the word subplart.
MR.Chickennuget 360 It can go one of two ways. Either it means it isn’t the main plart, or it implies the existence of a dom plart

...umm...about that...
Thought the exact same thing...
I liked it more than the recent Star Wars movies to be honest...
face the music made more sense that rise of skywanker.
Face the Music was more enjoyable than the Disney trilogy, combined.
The 'face cave' in Hell seems to be a reference to the 'Visions of Hell' paintings by Zdzisław Beksiński
RedLetterMedia videos are such enjoyable, well-edited, well-thought-out, thought-provoking, funny pieces of work that I feel I could select any one of them at random and have an infinitely better experience than if I chose any modern Hollywood movie at random
I love the word "goof-a-balls" unironically
That word deserves its own subplart
Someone needs to publish Rich Evan's full lexicon of misspoken and made up words.
Did Star Trek finally kill Mike with lower decks?
I'm surprised Jay hasn't watched Barry; I think he'd really enjoy it. The character played by the robot actor is fucking phenomenal.
17:23 Rich Evans said “everywhen” and it wasn’t a mistake.
Brings a tear to my eye.
5 minutes before the end of the video, I thought to myself that the next film would have to involve magic, fairies, mythological beasts and werewolves and such.
Much love plaque much love and i agree
Well, since they already established Heaven and Hell, aliens, and the Grim Reaper they might as well go full tilt into that stuff.
Hey its the guy who worked with the two best friends. Perfect name for this year!
Bill and Ted's Most Furry Adventure
Ah yes, more "fine" art material.
Once they noticed Keanu Reeves couldn’t bring back his old energy they should’ve reworked the script and put in a subplot that Ted has been suffering from depression after his dog was killed by the Russian mob.
Well Ted did have that part where he just flat out says "I'm tired dude". Up until then I was like what is wrong with him ? Then I was like ohhh it felt more like bill was trying to get Red to remember who they are
In the age of unnecessary sequels and soft reboots, the original Bill and Ted movies come out fairly unscathed after their late coming sequel. They could have easily had them travel back in time to meet their younger selves and digitally de-aged Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter (the low budget being a saving grace in that regard). But they thankfully left the originals alone. Which is more than can be said for other franchises, like Terminator for example, that's been royally butt fucked by time travel shenanigans.
right? I thought it was them forgetting how their "future selfs" eventually came back in time after they completed the essay,
to then help their past selfs out at their current moment - like leaving the keys or the tape recorder.
imagine going back 30 years later because you forget to help yourself out
Ed Solomon (in an interview with Midnight's Edge) said they had considered a scene where Bill and Ted go back and meet their younger selves by inserting the current actors into old footage as a way to include Rufus, but they abandoned the idea when they realized it wasn't going to work to their satisfaction.
Low standards we have nowadays.
@@KasumiKenshirou wouldn't work with Keanu anyway.
Jay even mentions how less of an Airhead he sounds in the new one.
would be almost weird if it wasn't ripped Dialogue
it was a good movie.
I think what Jay said about the empty greenscreen sets is the movie's production being clever with the allocation of funds.
Excellent Adventure had no budget, shot on locations, used existing movie sets for historical places... and used stock footage from other movies.
Bogus Journey had a larger budget, had loads of effects, locations, matt-painting, loads of extras in the background in certain scenes, custom made costumes for all the extras too, plus actual bands... then there's the camera effects, camera tricks, you name it... the movie utilised a ton of movie magic because they had a half-decent budget.

This movie though, like Excellent Adventure, I feel it had a limited budget.
So I think that the empty future scenes with CGI greenscreen backgrounds was allocating the funds in the right place.
If you have 400 extras all in costume being ushered around in those scenes, or, even a CGI crowd of people... that's a lot of cash spent in early scenes for photography, rendering, food, daily pay if the extras are real etc etc etc.
And the finale scene, would have been stripped back because there's no money left... kinda like the finale in Ghostbusters Frozen Empire.
Shot on set, with 14 extras, the camera being sure not to pan too far left or right because you'll see the edge of the set... and a CGI Ecto-1 for good measure.

As it happens, in Face The Music, the finale scene looked f*cking amazing.
Real cars, dozens and dozens of extras, and what looked like either a real location with CGI to jazz up the background, or a real partially built set, with CGI to jazz up the background.
It also had loads of special effects and CGI thrown at the scene, cut scenes to other locations that were also packed with extras and actors and so on, multiple phone booths, great music, people dancing with choreography and multiple cameras to capture it all.
They spread the funding around perfectly in Face The Music.
It's mid-low budget, $25m... and it was done right.
As a depressed and disappointed Gen Xer, Keanu's performance kind of resonated with me.
Meanwhile, I'm a depressed and disappointed millennial here to tell you that actually yes, we are all fucked.
That's how I felt about it. I think its supposed to be like that he's older, tired.and disappointing.
Turning off the computer helps
@@princesscarl1656 lol, some people can't unplug from the Matrix.
@@princesscarl1656 Turn off the computer and see the real world.....
that is actually also shit.
surprisingly enough problems do actually exist in real life, believe it or not.
if anything entertainment products are AN ESCAPE from that fact.
My vision of the ending for the movie would of been that the whole movie was the 2 daughters telling the story to their children in the garage about their grandfather and their kids go like "NO WAY!" or something
Simple and shows that Bill and Ted's legacy will always live on
This actually sounds like a really cute ending and sets up possible sequels as well to appease the studio.
@@kotomixkyou it could also be sort of a good subversion that still gets the same "Their Music creates a Utopia", and ties it to a lineage of family carrying on their message.
@@JohnSmith-XYZ Nice strawman, dude.
You definitely didn't take the "Be excellent to each other" to heart :(
@@kidkangaroo5213 I mean... Does anyone? Have you looked around? 🤣
@@OfficialNukeDukem Well, I mean it has to start somewhere, so why not be that guy or gal :^)
"The sub-blarp was weak"
- Rich Evans
It's odd to me that so many producers are deciding to wait until theaters open to release their movies, considering the fact that these movies that are released digitally are being talked about on social media constantly by youtubers and fans alike. my sub feed is full of people reviewing bill and ted, probably bc it's the one of the only things to come out this month. you cant pay for that kind of hype/advertisement.
They're scared that movies succeeding on streaming services will kill movie theatres.
@@similaritiesendhere as long asthey don't charge 30 bucks lol.
$20 to rent Bill and Ted - fine
Mulan for $30 - that's an ourage! its' unfair!
This is the only movie that has gotten any kind of buzz from being released at home and we don't know how many people paid to see it at home over the theater
Ravathiel their is a sort of limit of how much you can charge people before its off putting to people. $20 is reasonable to most for a new movie. 25 is pushing it and then 30 is just no. Kinda makes sense to me
@@nickchavarria8052 You have to remember the business strategy for theaters. The movies are just there to sell you 8 dollar popcorn.
Most people paying for these movies will be watching them alone. A 20 dollar price tag is basically them charging you for popcorn that you have to buy and make yourself.
The sad thing is that movie studios are already making more money (not sharing profits with theatres) without tripling the price of a "ticket".
Keanu looks like he's been embalmed alive, like he aged ten years between Parabellum and this.
xtrasolido it's the beard...he actually looks younger with the beard
@@drewg4261 You're absolutely right.
He reminds me of Neil Breen a lot, especially his expressions.
@@666spalony Holy balls, you're right! 😂😂
@@GamerGuysReviews Yes, I keep on seeing -Snipe- Snape, even though I actually never watched Harry -Poter- Potter at all.
the concept song at the wedding is actually awesome
Ah, the princesses.

the dads are treated with respect and the daughters are not treated like idiots and dont treat the dads like assholes and that was refreshing.
Thankfully I was actually able to see this movie in the theater. A locally owned large theater in Pennsylvania had it (drove there from NJ) and visually it was a lot better looking on the large screen then on the streaming service.
