@@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat The thing that always baffles me is that actors are so bad at acting excited about the terrible movie they're marketing, but maybe that's the jetlag or the fact that they're doing 47 identical interviews per day...
The Jeff Goldblum clip is pure comedy. He emotes so perfectly that he’s contractually obligated to say good things about the director. The way he looks off screen at his handler watching him was hilarious.
I saw Top Gun: Maverick in the theater and before it started there was a brief clip of Tom Cruise talking about how happy he was to have been able to make the movie, and he ended by saying thank you for watching it in a theater. It was a little weird, but sweet.
So a smuggler who works alone has a single ejector seat installed in her plane, but it's not in the pilot's or copilot's spot? Absolutely brilliant writing.
It's what shitty writers do. Logic and events of the world has to bend to save them from situations they have written their characters in to, because they are not smart enough to write logical ways how story could progress and things happen. If they need to eject someone non-pilot from a plane there has to be random ejector seat that would make otherwise make zero sense but it solves immediate problem how to get one character out of the plane fast. Other way is all those random convenient unlikely events that happen to characters so plot can progress. E.g. that Amazons Lord of the Rings seems to have plenty of those like how character jumps in middle of ocean which would be death sentence and asinine things to do without a plan, but then some random vessel just happens to come by in middle of ocean so writer does not need actually smart and resourceful way out of the situation.
I love that Jay knows so little about regular everyday things ( cars,planes,football ,wrestling) but can tell you the brand name of the blood squibs used in a movie from 1960.
A 'Making Of" would definitely be more compelling. Tom Cruise was virtually directing every aspect without actually taking that specific credit. He's like what they call in the video game industry a lead developer. At some point Scientology helped him crack the 'code of life' (or maybe it just cracked him?), and real life has become a video game for him. From the script development to the makeup to the stunt coordination, he's all over every project he's starring in. Even that mess of a movie The Mummy, he managed to salvage some fun out of. Any other actor would have let it crash and burn. He really tried to make that work, as if the Dark Universe had a chance LOL. The idea was so absurd. Still honestly would have been more interesting than more DC Marvel noise.
The making of Maverick might be better than the actual film itself. I would probably have enjoyed the film if I knew less about aircraft and the military. And if Tom Cruise wasn't a Scientologist.
@@pluckyduck11y I actually think The Mummy might have been better without him changing it to give himself more screen time. I read that the original script gave Ahmanet more focus which she really could have used in the final cut.
@@TheHolySemiColon yeah, it was originally much different, but when you hire Cruise you also get his personal writers that makes every movie he’s in into an Tom Cruise action adventure, where the entire film is about him.
It's the first thing I thought when I saw them walking like that, and I felt vindicated when he brought it up too. Though to be fair I guess, people in Hollywood have probably never seen ice in their life.
One thing I loved about 'Maverick' was that it set the mission out immediately and the rest of the film was trying to solve the logistical nightmare of said mission, rather than leaping from twist/plot point to another.
It was very well structured and well paced and you could tell it was designed properly because during the climactic mission at the end you know what events are unfolding, unlike, say, a Transformers movie.
the key problem of modern movies is they don't know how to build tension. The Film structure establishes that the mission is extremely hard- it beats the audience over with the problems- then for the final act those problems are overcome. this is why so many fail today- films are not more interesting by throwing more stuff at the camera, what builds tension is feeling like you are in the characters position. If the danger the character is in is not established (or if over use of effects breaks things like laws of physics) one factor is its NOT CGI that ruins films- its films using CGI in a lazy way that overwhelms the audience. You don't need over the top action scenes with tons of quick cuts- those ruin tension. Starwars 1977 has more tension than Man of Steel does even though Man of Steel has action sequences that last most of the movie.
@@MrChickennugget360 They borrowed from Star Wars '77...competently, unlike MAJORITY of "soft reboots/remakes" have done...but is outright plagiarism that laudable?
That interview with Bryce Dallas Howard sounded like they were talking to a 7 year old. It was like the equivalent of her saying “there are so many dinosaurs in this movie, every shot is so dense with dinosaurs that you’ll see it and be like ‘that sure is a lot of dinosaurs’”
Tom Cruise’s character in this movie actually felt real. The scene on the sailboat where they showed he’s not automatically an expert at everything like he would be in almost any other movie, the fact that losing his partner scarred him into being obsessed with bringing his team all back alive, to the point where it creates tension and drama. It was just like… really fucking good.
They use practical effects. For that scene, Rich Evans tripped over the ethernet cable to the router. He could've just unplugged the cable instead of tripping over it, but Mike Stoklasa is a bit of a perfectionist, and it clearly shows in all his work.
I can't wait not to see the Jurassic movie... also I'm glad the whole superhero movie fad is dying. Seeing grown men fawn over superhero movies has been the most cringe I've ever had to endure.
9:50 the beaker thing made me laugh. My girlfriend is a biomedical scientist and she tells me they keep beakers with coloured food dye in cupboards for when they get interviewed and the interviewer wants a "sciencey" picture.
I do like when they show pipetting from one microtube to another because that _is_ a big part of most lab work. They just ignore the 90% of it that's waiting around until the machine is done.
Glad they think ahead for that. In my office, it's just offices in a dirty weird room and all the actual experiments are in another country. We've got no photo ops in our office 😂
@@peteyoung3124computational chemist here. "Can we see your experiments?" "Well we actually do those on massive super computers." "May we see the massive super computers?" "Yeah, no, they're in Texas."

What about Land Before Time? Literally every character is a dinosaur. That's 100% dinosaur. That's the most amount you can ever get in a film. There isn't a single scene without a dinosaur. You know what else contains a dinosaur in every scene? Every Land Before Time sequel! Even the straight-to-video ones. Diamond Dallas Howard is talking shit.
I watched that movie so much as a kid. Luv it. Still to this day Diana Ross' If We Hold On Together will bring a tear to my eye. Ya, I'm a dude, so what!
Absolutely creasing over the fact that Trevorrow hyped the Giganotosaurus up as the most aggressive & badass dinosaur ever, & it left so little impact that no one outside of dino enthusiasts even mentions it
im glad they used an actual dinosaur and not another dumb made up hybrid thing but yeah it was a really forgettable Dino that might as well have just been the T-Rex
Maverick had the entire trench run from Star Wars '77! And nostalgia imagery from Top Gun! Competently filmed, choreographed/acted, but just as fraudulent as JWD. /shrug
They establish the hand thing at the start of the movie, but every subsequent scene he's missing more knuckles/fingers. By the end of the movie his arms end at the elbows. But it's never remarked upon.
I think the reason Top Gun Maverick worked so well is that it is entirely sincere. Everything in the movie means everything. Not to say there isn’t humor or whatever but everyone in the movie takes what’s happening seriously. There are very few movies that are like that now as insincerity and inside jokes seem to be most popular.
Absolutely. I think people are starved for actual sincerity in films. Top Gun Maverick has humor, and it's even self aware in that it's not trying to kid anyone into thinking that it's not just playing all of the hits from the original (just updated and polished). But it's not CONSTANTLY winking at the audience and reassuring everyone that none of this actually means anything. The characters don't feel like they KNOW they're in a movie! It's refreshing!
That's why I think the original works still as well. It's cheesy, yes, but sort of like the Sam Raimi Spiderman movies, because it goes all in and doesn't try to short change itself, it works in its favor as opposed to being a detriment.
It's the rare modernist film that comes out after 2008 and reminds you, however subtly, that postmodernism is a meaningless, destructive, depressing bore. The aesthetics of modernism, of merit, value, and reaching higher, went out of fashion en masse and it's a major reason action films just suck now.
During that third act of Top Gun, the entire audience in my cinema was dead silent and engaged in the movie because of just how well it had built up the stakes. Meanwhile in Thor 4, there were teens not even watching the movie’s big battle at the end.
The Top Gun films were both filmed outside of my town and when the teaser trailer was first released I drove to my parents house and showed it to my dad immediately. About a year and a half later he and I went to go see it in a packed theater! Seeing the airplanes that my dad has been working on for 35+ and the look on his face whenever he saw his work on the big screen even though he wasn’t part of production will always stick with me. Sorry for the long sappy post I’m just proud of my dad.
Quick addition if you don't want to blow your brains out. The cricket sound only come through on the right side for earbuds/headsets, so just stick with the left one if you value your sanity
I love the little gags Mike does when he's editing. Cutting to people looking confused, cutting to Jay for half a second for no reason, and the little characters he makes. Ten Knotts had me laughing longer than it should have.
The reason why they used the F-18 Super Hornets IRL is because they are the newest plane the US Navy uses that can still be flown with 2 passengers. All the new "fifth generation" fighters are single seat. They needed the 2 seat configuration so the real pilot could fly the jet up front and the actor could be in the back seat, and shoot their scene, pretending to fly.
Plus, there's no way in hell that the Navy would let Tommy play around with their newfangled top-of-the-line and super secretive fightin' machines, the F-35s. (OPSEC)
@@axiss5840 no they didn't have them fly the plane. In fact one of the clauses in the contract that the navy wrote up for use of the planes was that the actors could not touch the controls.
@@stormiestcampfire Nah they would love to cause Michael bay,Marvel and Tom cruise create some of their best propaganda hell they gave the transformer movies f-22 raptors but for this movie they needed a two seater plane so no f-35s
Watching the actors interviews makes me wish for an RLM supercut of actors who are clearly passionate about a good film vs. Actors who know a film is shit.
A movie called The Host from I believe 2006? 2008? Had an actress in the behind the scenes who was asked questions like "why do you think director chose to do this questionable thing?" And she straight up goes, "yeeeaaah... idk why he did that. Or other things. Lots of bad decisions, lots of 'what are you doing, man?' " Like straight up calling out director BS is rare.
They definitely do. But I think they will say just about anything to get those massive checks. I thought Chris pratt was very funny in parks and rec which for the most part was a very clever and smart show. Now he does these dumb studio blockbusters and probably makes ten times as much. He probably thinks it's a joke too
As I understand it: The jacket patch in Top Gun was changed so as not to upset China. But the Chinese investors then made so many other demands to censor the script, that the movie eventually cut ties with them, and changed the jacket back too.
The China money pulled out and it was an easy PR win to quietly put the patch back. Ultimately, a movie about how exceptional the armed forces of the United States are was probably not going to play in China in the first place, and that's what this movie *had to be*. You can make a version of this story where a hotshot pilot trains a new generation of pilots for some mission, and also there's a Chinese pilot or China was instrumental in providing intelligence or an ethnically Chinese scientist developed the new "thrust-vectoring-gimbal" so the planes can accomplish the mission... but to do that, you'd have to scrub everything from the film that connects it to its predecessor. Might as well make that a different movie.
The tone of Thor 4 is so odd, it has such sudden mood shifts,almost like the person making it off his head on coke! The way Taika blamed the CGI ( who already get treated like crap) on the overworked team, what a prick!
@@JasonHowdenNZ As a big fan of films, I want say thank you, to you and all the other CG artists for all the work you guys do. I know you might be limited in what you can say, but do any of the major studios treat VFX artists well, or are they pricks!?
@@chriscorben-green2640 It really depends on the VFX company. The culture is very different from 5 or 10 years ago, it's improved a lot from my experience. I've worked at places where people would do over 100 hours a week and sleep under their desks (if they slept at all).
Love & Thunder and the aftermath since it came out has made me so fucking disappointed in Taika. He’s not only shown to have done an incompetent job directing the film (seriously, how the fuck do you film over 4 hours of footage and bloat the budget to $250 million for a solo Thor movie?), but he’s come off as a giant dick towards the VFX artists that worked on it, and I’m sure he has a LOT to do with them getting overworked through a lot of his own indecision. Dude’s let his ego get overinflated since winning an Oscar for Jojo Rabbit if you ask me
I loved Jay's response so much! Mike: "The SR-71, it's retired now but was the fastest spy plane." Jay: "I dont know anything about planes." Mike thinks for a second, then his eyes light up and says: "it's the plane that the xmen fly around in" Jay: "oh right that one!"
One thing I think is interesting to point out about how much of a hack is Colin Trevorrow is the call back to the helicopter scene from the first Jurassic Park movie. In it John Hammond chopper arrived and messed up all the excavation, and that's what's on the screen, but the scene is telling a lot more to the audience and the audience is picking it up without even noticing: it's telling that Hammond didn't care about dinasours or science at all, he was all about his park and money. And also is telling the audience that money wins, because at the end they stopped caring about the ruined excavation and they are all celebrating with him with champagne. Now here it is Laura Dern who arrives in the chopper and there's no meaning, no subtext, nothing. it's just a callback. And even worse, her character would never do that because she's a scientist, she would know to just land like a mile away. It's just so stupid.
@@CurtisDyer - I think Mike has mentioned before that he has a certain affinity for the X-Men franchise in particular. He's the only critic that made me realize genuine positives in Dark Phoenix even though that movie is absolute crap.
I loved how “The Fiendish Dr. Wu” from the previous Jurassic movie simply ditched his villainous black lab coat and donned a Mr. Rogers sweater to become a good guy/saint in this one. 😂
That character will always be an enigma to me haha He was a glorified extra in the first movie, then he returned in the sequel/remake trilogy and it's funny because they sort of tried to make a big deal out of him but gave up halfway through, and then in this particular film he was just there to deliver lines and be an actor man.....and that's Dr. Henry Wu for you! What's sadder is that I don't hate the idea for this character, I quite enjoy it actually, he's like the doctor Frankenstein of the Jurassic Park franchise....or at least I guess this is what they were going for, too bad it never paid off in any way! Would've been a lot more interesting than Owen Thunderguns and his adventures in Remakeland
Uhhhh excuse you, its called visual storytelling 🙄 Cuz if he looks as nice as possible then the audience doesn't have the burden of using their brains, obviously 🙄🙄🙄
I hated how they turned him into a villain in JW, so I was glad he got out of that. It was literally the only part I was interested in. I didn't even need to see the film. If someone told me he was redeemed, Id be like, okay. Good to know.
Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him. True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better! Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. 👍🏾 *God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.* As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him. Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
Remember when the dinosaurs in the Jurassic franchise actually behaved like animals and were treated like animals? Instead of behaving and being treated like generic movie monsters?
Apparently Russel Crowe's accent in Thor is a very specific type of New Zealand Greek that he does almost perfectly. I watched the film with Kiwi friends and they were in stitches when Crowe started talking.
@@cactusmalone Movie thor had quirks and comic moments in the first film "This drink, I like it!" that were pretty typical fish-out-of-water stuff. This fit the overall semi-comedic tone well, and was in essence the Thor MCU was going for. Then he was in Avengers and got quirkier (along with everyone else) thanks to Joss Whedon. After Joss did his damage he remained about as silly in Thor 2 (I assume; nobody remembers this movie myself included). He steadily continued getting goofier in Age of Ultron, and eventually Ragnarok. He was further caricaturized, since then, with Infinity War, Endgame, and finally Love and Thunder. While he basically is a different character altogether by now, this is the result of an overload of what used to be light comedic quirks seen now and then in the first Thor. If you've ever seen the flanderization cartoon with the red-haired guy with slightly large ears and a bow tie, those quirks are that hair, ears, and tie in this case, grown to ridiculous proportion, and killing any actual character trait.
I paused during the Maverick review, ready to hunt it down in my house, and only after I was met with silence did I remember them mentioning it on the last BotW
I am actually very interested in RLM's opinion on Jurassic World Dominion. I can't think of a single movie that encapsulates all of modern blockbusters' sins more perfectly than that movie.
@@ldsiverling Glad I never saw it in theaters. I think my parents would’ve been bored by it if we had seen it , my dad especially. He likes movies but he’s not super into them. He’s more into Westerns which sadly aren’t made anymore.
@@chasehedges6775 There are plenty of westerns being made by indy productions, if you look in the right places, at around the rate of one or 2 good ones by year
The accent Russell Crowe was doing was a real accent, but it's a Greek-Australian accent. You'll pretty much only find it in Sydney or Melbourne, so pretty much to your point of they were just having fun there.
To hear Mike say "Mal-TAH" warms my heart in ways I didn't know were possible as a Maltese man . I'm officially petitioning my government to change our national anthem to a two hour loop of Mike saying Mal-TAH.
I love how Jay has no clue what Mike is talking about when he mentions the SR-71 Blackbird plane, then says it is what the X-Men fly in and Jay goes “OOOOHHHH.”
And because the F-18 is still the quintessential modern fighter of the US navy, especially the Super Hornet (which btw is not the F/A 18, A is a regular hornet. Difference is the square intakes and a much heftier body, more powerful and capable plane. I think the Super Hornets started at E, with F as the Super two-seater; but I could be wrong). My dad actually went to Top Gun, flew Hornets for the last twenty years and it’s kind of what the world recognizes as the Navy fighter jet. He loved the movie and can really go in detail about which kinds of maneuvers were realistic and stuff like that, and he really likes the fact that they used real planes to get the effects of Gs on the actors at all.
The F-35's training is all done in simulator so there aren't twin seat models. By the time a new pilot gets their hands on an F-35 they'll have already been rated on the T-38 and have hundreds of simulator hours. Also the need for an RIO/WSO is largely obsolete in 5th gen aircraft due to the advanced avionics suite.
As a scientist what irks me about the beakers isn't just the colors or the fact that they are open. It's the lack of ANY KIND OF LABEL. You know how many experiments I've seen fail because someone forgot to label and then couldn't tell their tubes apart? It's like the first thing you have to learn to do when working in a lab.
The patch jacket thing is a historical reference. That's a blood chit, used initially by pilots in the American Volunteer Group, the Flying Tigers. Since they were Americans fighting for China and didn't speak Chinese, they had that patch that had Chinese writing on it basically saying "I'm an American fighting for your country, please help me get back to my base here, we can compensate you" to be used if the pilot had to bail out over the countryside. It has the Taiwanese flag on it because that was the flag of China at the time. It was removed from the movie, except for the opening scene, which I'm sure was cut from the Chinese version of the movie.
The only one void of class at RLM is Mr. Plinkett, but he's always honest until the police knock at his door. I think your sentiment is best explained by the fact that RLM can't publish the same edgy content that they once did.
It's interesting that the best acting in Jurassic World Dominion was in all the behind the scenes clips!! The subtext was incredibly well done... Oscar material right there!
I don't think that was supposed to be a punch? I never saw the movie but it looked like to me like he's stabbing it with a knife that'll get added later via CG, which is also very funny to think about in terms of "realness"
Surprised they didn’t mention the scene where Thunderguns chokes a dilophosaurus and tells it to ‘go on, git’ like some hillbilly chasing a possum off his front porch.
that's the hint that mike and rich are both Mr. Plinkett. This episode shows Mike's transformation. Mike is Rich, and Rich is Mike. And they are both murderers.
It's acting anathema. How does one react to literally nothing? You're expected to act and also have a vivid imagination and alsooo know how to act and react to what you're thinking of in your mind. "Nowin this scene you're in awe at that space over there, and afterwards turn around 180 and look terrified at nothing and then turn back and run over there to that empty spot while looking frenzied". How do you do a good job with directions that may not have been too dissimilar from that?
I always wondered what it would be like if they made a gritty superhero origin story biography for the RLM crew. I'm delighted to say that Netflix finally made it! It has everything from Rich Evans being raised by his grandmother, Jay navigating the Milwaukee nightlife as an amateur photographer, and even a scene where Mike learned how to dress up like Emperor Palpatine. They took a bit of a risk combining Rich, Jay, Mike, and Harry into a single character, but I think it paid off. It's called DAHMER.
@euisa cous Agreed. (Ironically) I think it was the best feeling I've had in a theater since the original Jurassic Park. Possibly Matrix but I think Maverick was more impactful than that...that last 25 minutes in a theater is pretty much the definition of why you see movies in a theater (IMO).
I didn't know anything about the making of Maverick but I was blown away by the visuals and actions scenes and that just almost never happens these days - I was literally wondering how the hell they made it looks so real, but now I know - I didn't think it would be possible to shoot a movie like this but apparently it is and I love it.
Wow they really went in on all of the missing big, tentpole movies. Can’t think of a single one from this year missed now. Not a single superhero or blockbuster missing
I think Jennifer Connelly's character and plot line were actually important to the movie. #1, part of this movie's story for Maverick, besides the whole Goose's son plot, is him realizing he can't fly forever... as the Iceman says to him "It's time to let go.". The idea of a life outside of the cockpit, and the Navy, where he settles down with Jennifer Connelly makes it easier for us to root for, rather than the idea of him retiring and just sitting around lonely as shit because he has no family/friends due to his entire life being about flying. #2, without her, all Tom's character is surrounded by is superiors who don't like him, or subordinates he is training. Connelly lets us see the human sides of Maverick, and lets Tom charm it up a bit. Without her we'd just have scenes of superiors or Rooster yelling at Maverick, or Maverick making the rookies look like little bitches in the air... thats it.
It also gave an opportunity for Tom to sail with her, which gave a nice visual variety, and showed he was willing to try something he was not the expert at and could learn from her. Also a nice nod to the Navy, since the vast majority who serve in the Navy do not get to fly in fighter jets, which is why we call them sailors not pilots.
Plus, the character wasn't really new, she was mentioned in the original TG, Maverick flirting with an Admiral's daughter, and Goose mentions her by name. It all made sense.
" the idea of him retiring and just sitting around lonely as shit because he has no family/friends" is much more realistic of the american veteran experience now days though
I, too, had no interest in seeing Top Gun: Maverick, but I went with my family to the theater because they wanted to see it. I was blown away at how good it was. Near perfect summer blockbuster movie. It’s in my top five movies ever.
Jay commented on the "love interest" story in Maverick. The movie handled the romance really well; they were really self-aware of how ridiculous it was for two people that age to be sneaking around like teenagers.

He's like what they call in the video game industry a lead developer. At some point Scientology helped him crack the 'code of life' (or maybe it just cracked him?), and real life has become a video game for him. From the script development to the makeup to the stunt coordination, he's all over every project he's starring in. Even that mess of a movie The Mummy, he managed to salvage some fun out of. Any other actor would have let it crash and burn. He really tried to make that work, as if the Dark Universe had a chance LOL. The idea was so absurd. Still honestly would have been more interesting than more DC Marvel noise.
The making of Maverick might be better than the actual film itself. I would probably have enjoyed the film if I knew less about aircraft and the military. And if Tom Cruise wasn't a Scientologist.
@@xmlthegreat Scientology really is his Achilles Heel. That Mscavige guy cannot be trusted and has compromised Tom.
@@pluckyduck11y I actually think The Mummy might have been better without him changing it to give himself more screen time. I read that the original script gave Ahmanet more focus which she really could have used in the final cut.
@@TheHolySemiColon yeah, it was originally much different, but when you hire Cruise you also get his personal writers that makes every movie he’s in into an Tom Cruise action adventure, where the entire film is about him.

One thing I loved about 'Maverick' was that it set the mission out immediately and the rest of the film was trying to solve the logistical nightmare of said mission, rather than leaping from twist/plot point to another.
It was very well structured and well paced and you could tell it was designed properly because during the climactic mission at the end you know what events are unfolding, unlike, say, a Transformers movie.
the key problem of modern movies is they don't know how to build tension. The Film structure establishes that the mission is extremely hard- it beats the audience over with the problems- then for the final act those problems are overcome.
this is why so many fail today- films are not more interesting by throwing more stuff at the camera, what builds tension is feeling like you are in the characters position. If the danger the character is in is not established (or if over use of effects breaks things like laws of physics)
one factor is its NOT CGI that ruins films- its films using CGI in a lazy way that overwhelms the audience. You don't need over the top action scenes with tons of quick cuts- those ruin tension.
Starwars 1977 has more tension than Man of Steel does even though Man of Steel has action sequences that last most of the movie.

More than any movie ever
Maximum amount
Some might say too many. Those people would be fools.

"Full dino power...damn you!"
Tom Cruise’s character in this movie actually felt real. The scene on the sailboat where they showed he’s not automatically an expert at everything like he would be in almost any other movie, the fact that losing his partner scarred him into being obsessed with bringing his team all back alive, to the point where it creates tension and drama. It was just like… really fucking good.

Half in the Bag is so engaging because you can tell all the stunts are real. When the internet went out, it felt like that was *really* happening.
All due to the work of daredevil stuntman Rich Evans and his affinity to destroy furniture and glass bottles
They use practical effects. For that scene, Rich Evans tripped over the ethernet cable to the router. He could've just unplugged the cable instead of tripping over it, but Mike Stoklasa is a bit of a perfectionist, and it clearly shows in all his work.

I think the reason Top Gun Maverick worked so well is that it is entirely sincere. Everything in the movie means everything. Not to say there isn’t humor or whatever but everyone in the movie takes what’s happening seriously. There are very few movies that are like that now as insincerity and inside jokes seem to be most popular.
Absolutely. I think people are starved for actual sincerity in films. Top Gun Maverick has humor, and it's even self aware in that it's not trying to kid anyone into thinking that it's not just playing all of the hits from the original (just updated and polished). But it's not CONSTANTLY winking at the audience and reassuring everyone that none of this actually means anything. The characters don't feel like they KNOW they're in a movie! It's refreshing!
That's why I think the original works still as well. It's cheesy, yes, but sort of like the Sam Raimi Spiderman movies, because it goes all in and doesn't try to short change itself, it works in its favor as opposed to being a detriment.
It's the rare modernist film that comes out after 2008 and reminds you, however subtly, that postmodernism is a meaningless, destructive, depressing bore. The aesthetics of modernism, of merit, value, and reaching higher, went out of fashion en masse and it's a major reason action films just suck now.
Couldn't agree more. Another recent great one is RRR. It has this sincere, life or death stakes that you want in something.

The reason why they used the F-18 Super Hornets IRL is because they are the newest plane the US Navy uses that can still be flown with 2 passengers. All the new "fifth generation" fighters are single seat. They needed the 2 seat configuration so the real pilot could fly the jet up front and the actor could be in the back seat, and shoot their scene, pretending to fly.
Plus, there's no way in hell that the Navy would let Tommy play around with their newfangled top-of-the-line and super secretive fightin' machines, the F-35s. (OPSEC)
They actually did have the actors fly the hornets and manage their own cameras. That isn't BS.
I was looking for this answer. It is the last 2 seater jet. I promise if the F-35 could hold two people they would have been in them.
@@axiss5840 no they didn't have them fly the plane. In fact one of the clauses in the contract that the navy wrote up for use of the planes was that the actors could not touch the controls.

Watching the actors interviews makes me wish for an RLM supercut of actors who are clearly passionate about a good film vs. Actors who know a film is shit.
Liv Tyler wearing sunglasses and acting high asf for her interview. Couldn't be sober one day.
A movie called The Host from I believe 2006? 2008? Had an actress in the behind the scenes who was asked questions like "why do you think director chose to do this questionable thing?" And she straight up goes, "yeeeaaah... idk why he did that. Or other things. Lots of bad decisions, lots of 'what are you doing, man?' "
Like straight up calling out director BS is rare.
I feel like these actors do more acting off stage when doing the interviews saying how "great" it is to be in these films.
It's called advertising lol. Its been that way from the beginning
I believe them. They make more money within a couple of months than you and me together in our entire lifetime. I would find that awesome too.
They definitely do. But I think they will say just about anything to get those massive checks. I thought Chris pratt was very funny in parks and rec which for the most part was a very clever and smart show. Now he does these dumb studio blockbusters and probably makes ten times as much. He probably thinks it's a joke too
It's a major part of the job, to be charming in these interviews to bring people to the theater.
Soooo true. The interviews are better than movie itself
As I understand it: The jacket patch in Top Gun was changed so as not to upset China. But the Chinese investors then made so many other demands to censor the script, that the movie eventually cut ties with them, and changed the jacket back too.
It seems like Tom Cruise is the first person in Hollywood to see how falling for China is bad for your movie.
@@SomeBsMovie I feel like it’s a bad sign when Tom Cruise of all people seems to be the one saying “maybe we shouldn’t sell ourselves out”
The China money pulled out and it was an easy PR win to quietly put the patch back. Ultimately, a movie about how exceptional the armed forces of the United States are was probably not going to play in China in the first place, and that's what this movie *had to be*. You can make a version of this story where a hotshot pilot trains a new generation of pilots for some mission, and also there's a Chinese pilot or China was instrumental in providing intelligence or an ethnically Chinese scientist developed the new "thrust-vectoring-gimbal" so the planes can accomplish the mission... but to do that, you'd have to scrub everything from the film that connects it to its predecessor. Might as well make that a different movie.

Love & Thunder and the aftermath since it came out has made me so fucking disappointed in Taika. He’s not only shown to have done an incompetent job directing the film (seriously, how the fuck do you film over 4 hours of footage and bloat the budget to $250 million for a solo Thor movie?), but he’s come off as a giant dick towards the VFX artists that worked on it, and I’m sure he has a LOT to do with them getting overworked through a lot of his own indecision.

One thing I think is interesting to point out about how much of a hack is Colin Trevorrow is the call back to the helicopter scene from the first Jurassic Park movie. In it John Hammond chopper arrived and messed up all the excavation, and that's what's on the screen, but the scene is telling a lot more to the audience and the audience is picking it up without even noticing: it's telling that Hammond didn't care about dinasours or science at all, he was all about his park and money. And also is telling the audience that money wins, because at the end they stopped caring about the ruined excavation and they are all celebrating with him with champagne.
Now here it is Laura Dern who arrives in the chopper and there's no meaning, no subtext, nothing. it's just a callback. And even worse, her character would never do that because she's a scientist, she would know to just land like a mile away.
It's just so stupid.

That character will always be an enigma to me haha
He was a glorified extra in the first movie, then he returned in the sequel/remake trilogy and it's funny because they sort of tried to make a big deal out of him but gave up halfway through, and then in this particular film he was just there to deliver lines and be an actor man.....and that's Dr. Henry Wu for you!

@@cactusmalone Movie thor had quirks and comic moments in the first film "This drink, I like it!" that were pretty typical fish-out-of-water stuff. This fit the overall semi-comedic tone well, and was in essence the Thor MCU was going for. Then he was in Avengers and got quirkier (along with everyone else) thanks to Joss Whedon.
After Joss did his damage he remained about as silly in Thor 2 (I assume; nobody remembers this movie myself included). He steadily continued getting goofier in Age of Ultron, and eventually Ragnarok. He was further caricaturized, since then, with Infinity War, Endgame, and finally Love and Thunder.
While he basically is a different character altogether by now, this is the result of an overload of what used to be light comedic quirks seen now and then in the first Thor.
If you've ever seen the flanderization cartoon with the red-haired guy with slightly large ears and a bow tie, those quirks are that hair, ears, and tie in this case, grown to ridiculous proportion, and killing any actual character trait.

He’s more into Westerns which sadly aren’t made anymore.
@@chasehedges6775 There are plenty of westerns being made by indy productions, if you look in the right places, at around the rate of one or 2 good ones by year

The accent Russell Crowe was doing was a real accent, but it's a Greek-Australian accent. You'll pretty much only find it in Sydney or Melbourne, so pretty much to your point of they were just having fun there.
Probably more Sydney Greek given he’s spent a lot of time in Sydney.
@@aldunlop4622 Its basically the same in Melbourne as well. I kind of loved that he put that kind of accent on. Didnt love a lot else in the movie.
Loved his accent before I even knew that from your comment. Sounded like “bs Greek” if you will based on my limited worldliness.
To hear Mike say "Mal-TAH" warms my heart in ways I didn't know were possible as a Maltese man . I'm officially petitioning my government to change our national anthem to a two hour loop of Mike saying Mal-TAH.
the last minute of Dominion made me cry with laughter. "all the creatures are friends"
I walked out of Dominion. I think its literally the worst big budget movie ever made.

I love how Jay has no clue what Mike is talking about when he mentions the SR-71 Blackbird plane, then says it is what the X-Men fly in and Jay goes “OOOOHHHH.”
Read this right when it happened lmao
I honestly did a double take when in Thor they literally made a Marvel-quip about having terminal cancer.
Thor 4 ... written by Kevin Smith?
Remember how everyone thought Loss was weird? Now you can get Loss in your Disney backed multi-billion-dollar corporate design by committee movies
Loss was about a miscarriage not dying of cancer what are you even talking about
@@greggoat6570 Yeah we know genius, but it's almost the same thing tone wise
@@greggoat6570 it's the juxtaposition of a very serious real-world topic in a silly, cartoony, comic book world.
The reason they used the F/A-18 instead of the F-35 was because they needed a two seater plane to fit the cameras in
and a proper fighter pilot in the front seat.
And because the F-18 is still the quintessential modern fighter of the US navy, especially the Super Hornet (which btw is not the F/A 18, A is a regular hornet. Difference is the square intakes and a much heftier body, more powerful and capable plane. I think the Super Hornets started at E, with F as the Super two-seater; but I could be wrong).
My dad actually went to Top Gun, flew Hornets for the last twenty years and it’s kind of what the world recognizes as the Navy fighter jet. He loved the movie and can really go in detail about which kinds of maneuvers were realistic and stuff like that, and he really likes the fact that they used real planes to get the effects of Gs on the actors at all.
@@willmungas8964 Your Dad went to Top Gun wow
The F-35's training is all done in simulator so there aren't twin seat models. By the time a new pilot gets their hands on an F-35 they'll have already been rated on the T-38 and have hundreds of simulator hours.
Also the need for an RIO/WSO is largely obsolete in 5th gen aircraft due to the advanced avionics suite.
So Jay and Mike have completely embraced their new personas as very old, grumpy men. I'm here for it.
Im HeRe FoR iT
It really never fails to crack me up how the main selling point of Dominion was 'lots of dinosaurs'
lol
What’s even funnier is there aren’t that many dinosaurs in it
That cricket in the studio will soon have more screen time than Josh and Jack combined.
I've been wondering this whole time if that's an actual cricket or if the editor just put that in the background 🤣
@@djangofett4879 it’s an evp cricket.
Most realistic cricket sounds I've ever heard! This should've gotten the Sound Design Oscar over Krampus!
As a scientist what irks me about the beakers isn't just the colors or the fact that they are open. It's the lack of ANY KIND OF LABEL. You know how many experiments I've seen fail because someone forgot to label and then couldn't tell their tubes apart? It's like the first thing you have to learn to do when working in a lab.
That's what the colors are for 😆

The patch jacket thing is a historical reference. That's a blood chit, used initially by pilots in the American Volunteer Group, the Flying Tigers. Since they were Americans fighting for China and didn't speak Chinese, they had that patch that had Chinese writing on it basically saying "I'm an American fighting for your country, please help me get back to my base here, we can compensate you" to be used if the pilot had to bail out over the countryside. It has the Taiwanese flag on it because that was the flag of China at the time. It was removed from the movie, except for the opening scene, which I'm sure was cut from the Chinese version of the movie.
RLM has gotten classy. I remember the days when that photo of Kelly McGillis would be accompanied by a slide whistle sound.
it's probably because they are aware they themselves arent far off from looking that old
The only one void of class at RLM is Mr. Plinkett, but he's always honest until the police knock at his door. I think your sentiment is best explained by the fact that RLM can't publish the same edgy content that they once did.
@@Naomi.Robertson And what does that say about the cultural status quo?
@@ThePoorBoy That we live in a society
I think the Bruce Willis thing made them a tiny bit more conscious about it
It's interesting that the best acting in Jurassic World Dominion was in all the behind the scenes clips!! The subtext was incredibly well done... Oscar material right there!
The clip of Owen Thunderguns punching the dinosaur puppet in the face made me die laughing
I don't think that was supposed to be a punch? I never saw the movie but it looked like to me like he's stabbing it with a knife that'll get added later via CG, which is also very funny to think about in terms of "realness"
Surprised they didn’t mention the scene where Thunderguns chokes a dilophosaurus and tells it to ‘go on, git’ like some hillbilly chasing a possum off his front porch.
That would make a great gif
I see you recovered.
This program taught me how to avoid falling into a frozen lake. Thanks, elderly man in greyish blue sport coat.
I like that they still put Rich’s name n the credits even when he’s not in the episode. That’s star power.
Rich Evans is the Tom Cruise of RLM.
well he is THE "Dick the Birthday Boy" Boy
that's the hint that mike and rich are both Mr. Plinkett. This episode shows Mike's transformation. Mike is Rich, and Rich is Mike. And they are both murderers.

"I know nothing about planes"
"It's the one that the Xmen fly around in"
"Ooooh!"
That was cute.
“Laura Dern looks like she doesn’t know what’s going on”
I assume this was her first movie having to do entire scenes against green screens
It's acting anathema. How does one react to literally nothing? You're expected to act and also have a vivid imagination and alsooo know how to act and react to what you're thinking of in your mind.
"Nowin this scene you're in awe at that space over there, and afterwards turn around 180 and look terrified at nothing and then turn back and run over there to that empty spot while looking frenzied". How do you do a good job with directions that may not have been too dissimilar from that?
I feel the cricket is now part of the crew. Sometimes it’s perfectly timed with some jokes 😂
I’m convinced they’re making sure it doesn’t escape just to keep fucking with the fans
Did it at least get a credit at the end?
you mean it's a real cricket outside their studio?
@@luccacamillo yes they have mentioned it a few times. not sure if it's the same one.
If the cricket has been around for the past few videos I’ve never heard it until today! I guess that’s a testament to the new AirPods
Jeff Goldblum somehow reinventing the "eye-roll" into a no more subtle "side-roll" is just another hint of genius.
I always wondered what it would be like if they made a gritty superhero origin story biography for the RLM crew. I'm delighted to say that Netflix finally made it!
It has everything from Rich Evans being raised by his grandmother, Jay navigating the Milwaukee nightlife as an amateur photographer, and even a scene where Mike learned how to dress up like Emperor Palpatine.
They took a bit of a risk combining Rich, Jay, Mike, and Harry into a single character, but I think it paid off.
It's called DAHMER.
They dropped the ball not making a Space Cop / Rich Evans cinematic universe.
I love how David Pumpkins can be used as a metaphor for when a movie goes all in on one joke and it was the wrong joke to go all in on.
Not only did they get Harrison Ford in Jurassic World but they GOT EVERYONE USING THE FORCE.
Watching Mike get in character for Mr. Plinket in a single gut press is kind of magical.
Mike always goes out of his way to write the best descriptions for these videos. They should give him the Pooh-litzer
As an Italian, this comment is even funnier to me because there's a very famous pop band here called, "Pooh".

I went into Top Gun wanting to hate it, sure there were some cheesy moments, but damn what a solid movie
Just pure entertainment, no deeper meaning, just buy your ticket and your popcorn and strap in.
Mike doing the Plinkett voice again just feels so right.
@euisa cous Agreed. (Ironically) I think it was the best feeling I've had in a theater since the original Jurassic Park. Possibly Matrix but I think Maverick was more impactful than that...that last 25 minutes in a theater is pretty much the definition of why you see movies in a theater (IMO).
That description deserves the Nobel prize. Cheers from Spain guys , much love!

I didn't know anything about the making of Maverick but I was blown away by the visuals and actions scenes and that just almost never happens these days - I was literally wondering how the hell they made it looks so real, but now I know - I didn't think it would be possible to shoot a movie like this but apparently it is and I love it.
Wow they really went in on all of the missing big, tentpole movies. Can’t think of a single one from this year missed now. Not a single superhero or blockbuster missing
not one film that may or may not have featured a caped crusader.
Ummmm... they haven't done Morbius yet
would like them to cover X now that Pearl is out too
Im pretty sure all the memories of that movie, trailers, ect ,were a collectice fever dream and it doesn't really exist.
It was so forgettable I almost didn’t even know what you were talking about…and I’m a huge fan.
Mr. Cricket brings up some pretty good points. We should hear more from him moving forward.
God dammit that was so annoying
@@dorkknight42 oddly enough i didnt enough notice it until i saw comments abt it, maybe cuz im watching on 1.5x speed
I think Jennifer Connelly's character and plot line were actually important to the movie. #1, part of this movie's story for Maverick, besides the whole Goose's son plot, is him realizing he can't fly forever... as the Iceman says to him "It's time to let go.". The idea of a life outside of the cockpit, and the Navy, where he settles down with Jennifer Connelly makes it easier for us to root for, rather than the idea of him retiring and just sitting around lonely as shit because he has no family/friends due to his entire life being about flying. #2, without her, all Tom's character is surrounded by is superiors who don't like him, or subordinates he is training. Connelly lets us see the human sides of Maverick, and lets Tom charm it up a bit. Without her we'd just have scenes of superiors or Rooster yelling at Maverick, or Maverick making the rookies look like little bitches in the air... thats it.
It also gave an opportunity for Tom to sail with her, which gave a nice visual variety, and showed he was willing to try something he was not the expert at and could learn from her. Also a nice nod to the Navy, since the vast majority who serve in the Navy do not get to fly in fighter jets, which is why we call them sailors not pilots.
Plus, the character wasn't really new, she was mentioned in the original TG, Maverick flirting with an Admiral's daughter, and Goose mentions her by name. It all made sense.
Adding on to point 1 is when Rooster too mentioned how Maverick doesn't have anyone.
" the idea of him retiring and just sitting around lonely as shit because he has no family/friends" is much more realistic of the american veteran experience now days though
Cruise is King. Phone on the bar tho
I, too, had no interest in seeing Top Gun: Maverick, but I went with my family to the theater because they wanted to see it. I was blown away at how good it was. Near perfect summer blockbuster movie. It’s in my top five movies ever.
Top five ever ? LOL
I had to struggle with whether or not I was gonna see it in IMAX (the show time was super inconvenient). I did it anyhow and it was AMAZING.
Jay commented on the "love interest" story in Maverick. The movie handled the romance really well; they were really self-aware of how ridiculous it was for two people that age to be sneaking around like teenagers.
It did somewhat feel shoehorned in to give Maverick a case of the notgays. The original Top Gun is considered very homoerotic.
@@georgeorwell2296 by Tarantino, you might add.
@@HSBAILD *by Roger Avary, who wrote that monologue and Tarantino "borrowed" it. It's why those two fell out.
"And all the dads in the theater clapped" Someone remind Jay that he's old enough to be a grandfather.
Oh come now, everyone knows there's more to being a "dad" than being in the age range and having a child. You _at least_ have to have twenty crappy, kid-friendly jokes memorized, too.
42 is old enough to be a grandfather? Damn, times have changed.
@@NihonNiv 42 isn't _that_ crazy (outside of how expensive kids are these days). Having a kid around 20 is obviously biologically fine.
It's not like the grandchild has to be anything but born for you to be a right and proper grandparent.
@@ashkebora7262 Where I'm from, the average age at which men have their first child is 30 years old. So being a grandfather at 42 would be quite unusual.
@@NihonNiv Yeah, having kids young these days is extremely rare because friggin' no body young is making enough money to support a family, if they even want/can handle the extra stress anyways.
