Well, teeechnicly tropical climate is mostly desert. The most common biome in the tropics is in fact desert. But, of course, in common speak it actually means otherwise.
That seems to a common issue in a lot of modern movies. Hollywood has created such a narrow idea of young and attractive that the young attractive actors (especially men) have a tendency to look about the same and are hard to tell a part unless you make sure all the ones you put in your movie had different hair colors you make sure to dress them so they stand out from one another.
Jordyn Wingate I just call the blonde one Adam (from Supernatural [this movie is proof that he is in fact still in hell]) and I call the dark haired one... the other one.
Hanfgurkenhasser haha. the thing with rapeplay is that its fake. its pretend. we negotiate beforehand what i do and dont want. but in a situation like this in the movie the character did not consent beforehand or discuss limits.
extremelyhappysimmer I know, I'm doing this myself from time to time, albeit in a...weaker way. The scene would have been a lot creepier if she had actually screamed. But then again, the music would have been even more out of place. Oh well, the movie's shite! Fuck this movie.
It's like one of them dating sims with them female protagonists!... Actually, that's exactly right, I can't think of one where the hot guys are the same species as the bland girl...
+SouthernSamurai no, its not about the hot guys, its about the akward sexual tension around the protagonist and the rest of the cast. have you ever seen those ridiculous dating simulators? where the protagonist find themselves meeting lots of women in common situations that get sexual/ pervy later on? like, they bump into one another and the girl falls backward showing their panties? thats what this is: a dating simulator made into a movie. in those sims the protagonist has lots of women who like them. in twilight, shovel face and beef cake measure their dicks in front of mouth breather almost the entire movie, for example. here, she has to kiss a dude for going to the bathroom and shit. how ridiculous is that?
Sounds like a shitty romance manga. If only Stefanie Meyier was japanese, we would be spared from her "writting" since it would never get popular enough here.
A SciFi movie that isn't for people who like SciFi is... probably just going to be garbage no matter what. Imagine a horror movie for people who don't want to be scared, or a comedy for people who don't want to laugh. How did that woman think that anything decent would come of that?
Shiki Aura Well to be fair, Game of Thrones is often described as "fantasy for people who hate fantasy." And that is definitely a quality product. So it could be done. I dunno.
There is a slight problem with that conjecture; it is fantasy for people whom like fantasy, written by a person whom also happens to like fantasy. Whomever happened described Game of thrones as "Fantasy for people WHOM hate fantasy" is doltish at best.
Oh good, rape romance. My most favourite kind of love story. ō-ō Did nobody listen to the internal dialogue of Melanie during filming and go "Hey this kinda sounds like she's being sexually assaulted because she doesn't have control of her body."? Like, isn't it supposed to be romantic? What?
GirlBrony (Cringelord) yeah it's like she toyed with a sort of interesting idea (completely losing your bodily autonomy and competing with an alien host for consciousness, i'm sure it's been done before but it's still an idea with potential) and completely skipped over the internal struggle that would happen. it'd be scary as shit to still have consciousness but not be able to control your own actions, maybe in another book/movie the alien host choosing to kiss someone against the host's will would be creepy, invasive and engaging to read but nope. it's... romantic? stephanie meyer's really good at romanticising creepy shit.
***** js but it has been done, for the same demographic but so much better. Animorphs. Its a science fiction series of books about a group of kids saving Earth from parasitic body snatchers called Yeerks. I think its the 5th book in the series where the leader of the group actually gets a Yeerk in his head, and throughout the series its hammered home how terrifying it is to be a "host". Plus Applegate (a female author I might add) made several expansion books outside of the main series, my favorite ones being the Andalite/Ellimist/Hork Bajir chronicles that follow protagonist aliens mentioned in the main series. Its a really solid read, though can get very depressing, very fast; especially towards the end. Oof.
Yeah. I think every time Meyer thinks about how what she is writing could be interpreted as a questionable fetish fantasy, the alien soul inside her shuts her up.
Yup! And a whole heck of a lot of full size semi autos have 17 round magazines. I'm actually pretty pleased that they had it run out at 17, since a lot of movies have guns with mags which hold 100000 rounds.
Hey Adam I'm not criticizing you or anything but just fyi, Glock 17's and stuff have 17 bullet mag's so that technically is possible that the gun fired 17 times without a reload. But yes, movie guns do have unlimited ammo usually, I get the point and it was really funny anyway!
I prefaced it by saying I'm clearly not a gun expert because I figured it was possible even though it felt abnormal to me personally. Thanks for the info.
YourMovieSucksDOTorg You still have a bit of leadway, because the gun still has a bullet in the chamber. That is a bit of foresight if they put one in the chamber before loading
That's an extended mag which hangs out the bottom like 5" You can clearly see it's a normal 10 round mag (possible he cocked the pistol forcing 1 round into the chamber then put another full mag on making 11 rounds)
I love how he hands the kid the shotgun, the kid says he doesn't know what to do, the adult says "figure it out" and literally the first thing the kid does is point the thing directly at the girl's face.
I also love how the dude who likes Melanie is so honest about the kissing in the next episode. Also the dudes were better because they were funnier in the interviews.
I love how people act like actors treat screen/stage kissing as real passionate love type kissing. It's not. There's no affection involved. After one or two times it just becomes a chore and you're more focused on staying in character than actually being a good kisser. You can totally tell how annoyed the actors are when they get asked that question too.
Stephanie Meyer writes lore that could be really awesome if expanded upon, but chooses to focus her stories on the blandest, shittiest characters she can come up with
For me it's not so much the lore but the premise. The premise is really good and could lead into a question of whether or not morality is more important than freedom. The problem is that Stephanie Meyer is the sort of person who watches Terrible Writing Advice and takes it seriously not understanding that its very heavy handed sarcasm.
The characters are bland on purpose...so every tween/ya can project themselves onto the totally ordinary but likewise incredibly special, loved and admired placeholder.
"It's murder. We were only trying to enslave your entire population." That is the main thing that pisses me off about the movie. Like, the aliens act like they doing nothing wrong by essentially killing every human and using the bodies as puppets. But this alien's all"IM HELPING wtf is your problem" not considering that maybe the human girl doesn't want it stealing her body. AND they kill a few aliens and she gets all bent outa shape like what it's doing to the girl is much better. You can't act the aliens are all smart and shit, but make the one controlling the girl so fucking stupid. Then again, it's written by the maker of Twilight. I don't know why I expected more.
I mean if the species disassociated enough I could buy them believing their own propaganda about bringing peace by destroying the host’s consciousness. They do act against how they are supposed to in the movie but more in a movie villain way and not an intentionally written way. Although, if they did want to make the aliens self righteousness more believable, they could have had it that the host’s consciousness isn’t actually destroyed but rather put into a fake perfect reality for that host while the parasite take control. Hell, that could even go onto explain why what’s-her-face could have survived the host implantation, but that would be too easy.
They could of even described it using basic science emotions are chemical reactions in the brain they are a parisitic creature so therfore they don't actually have any emotions because of them not having an original body to have experienced those chemical reactions making them emotionless and unempathetic meaning that they think they are doing good by preventing killing and such by taking control of the bodies but not having any empathy about it and not realising that they are the bad guys. Oh wait it's Sci fi for people who don't like Sci fi so there can be no science mentioned at all
Imagine this concept as a horror film. An alien parasite that can infect anyone, slowly infiltrating society, infecting politicians until almost everyone is under their control, and the worst part? You can never know what's real.
ThePotatoGamer Yeah, Invasion of the Body Snatchers was a great film. It was created during the height of the red scare, to capitalise on the paranoia of not knowing if your neighbour was "one of them," or not. Oh you were joking? Yeah, this concept is nowhere near original and has been done many times before. And way better than it is here. Also, Invasion was a remake of the original "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" movie.
Niall Reid I always get these mixed up, but was invasion of the body snatchers the one with the female lead, or with the dude that had the famous "i'm here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and i'm all out of bubblegum" the guy with the sunglasses i mean.
Osmosis Wright Absolutely. She already got nominated for an Oscar in "Atonement". When she was a kid. There isn't a single actor or actress who has played her A game 100% of the time. Only Daniel-Day Lewis always has, and even he skips most of the roles he is offered.
Come on, decent actors will still perform terribly with bad direction. It's not like there's any redeeming factors in this movie to make you think it's the fault of the actor alone.. Try to think of a convincing way to perform this line, it can't be done lol
You know, Stephanie Meyer could have explained the alien souls thing in a logical way, through parasite evolution. It could be argued that the soul alien creatures evolved on their planet first to have a symbiotic outside relationship with a native species on the planet, and as they evolved, they became more and more attached, until they started living inside of them. Because of further evolution that makes these creatures increasingly more intelligent, instead of having a natural parasite cycle like what is seen on Earth (usually an animal accidentally eats the remains or feces of another infected animal, sometimes even of another species), they eventually manage to evolve their own parasite cycle through the actions they use through the host bodies. As they become more and more adapted to this, they can no longer implant themselves through a natural cycle, requiring the use of surgery to spread. As the group of aliens that travel from planet to planet through body to body, their practice becomes more generalized and they are able to infect more hosts, therefore increase their survivability - while those that stay at home evolve in their host species and eventually may form a symbiotic relationship within them, similar to bacteria cultures in our digestive tract. I think it's way too much to ask for though for someone like Meyer to have any knowledge of biological principles like this though. I'm thinking way too much about this. Maybe I should just rewrite the twilight series so that it doesn't suck.
+masgames38 (Blaze) XD so true. 'Great! Interviewers! Now I can share an insight on my acting methods and connect with my audience!' "So... How was the kissing?!" 'Ah, for feck sake..."
It took me so long to realize that Indian-looking guy who keeps showing up in this review was one of the "infected" people in the movie. I kept thinking it was zooming in on M Night Shyamalan's face from one of his movies where he cast himself every time YMS wanted to draw attention to something that didn't make sense or was stupid in The Host, as if to say "this is starting to seem like Shyamalan logic". I think it would be a lot funnier if that was the case.
astosky bam. right there. movie fixed (well, sorta...not really but sorta). took one youtuber probably 10 seconds to type this, yet Stephanie Meyer couldn't think about this idea and/or figure out how to write it down.
kurvos To me it's not so much every one who says it seriously is full on gay. It just seems they're afraid of any thought with even a slightly gay undertone. Everyone's a little bit gay. They just hate it
Mmm... Delicious Yeah, it's a sign of not being secure with their own sexuality. And, there is no black and white with being gay or straight - we're all different shades of gray (or, "shades of gay", hurr hurr).
I still can't tell the difference between the two main male protagonists. Seriously, same height, same hair style, same hair color, same skin color, even similar clothes! Is this in the books? If Meyer has such a hard-on for the *same fucking guy*, why did she add two? It's hot making out with two clones? I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but at least Twilight made it clear the differences between Edward and Jacob. They were drastically different and recognizable. When you can't tell which main character is which in a story that has no relation to clones, you done fucked it up.
life hack step 1: pretend you have a multiple personality disorder (if you already have one then you're one step ahead) step 2: boys will fall in love with all of you (plural)
Gosh I’d hate to be a woman in Hollywood sometimes. “NOw ThE ReAl ThIng OuR vIeWeRs wanT tO KnOW-“ “it’s about the boys isn’t it... okay.” Poor Saoirse seemed so sick of that.
You can totally tell. Id be fed up. Its actually gross now that I think about it. Like this movie was targeting young girls because of the ages of the actors and they framed it as a dystopian romance (it came out when I was young) and the book is actually more for older audiences since the leads are mid thirties.
Okay, guys. Just hear me out on this. Doesn't the whole concept for this book/movie seem sort of based on the whole "rape-fantasy-I'm-not-really-in-control-of-my-body-but-it's-hot" thing during 11:40 - 11:51 and 14:42 - 14:47? In fact, that really seems to be the entire premise for all the romance in this story-line? As if the entire alien-host plot was constructed around that type of fantasy? Almost as if Stephenie Meyer had made up this weird pseudo-rape scenario and built a shitty science fiction story around it? It's pretty goddamn creepy, and like Adam said, a little rapey.
At least the aliens in Parasyte had their own ability to tunnel into a human's flesh and took out this weird having to have an already infected person put the alien in there
I'm surprised you never questioned why a creature that is said to have traveled for a great amount of time, such that its name has been lost, still has the maturity of a teenage girl.
It's like romance novels for tween girls. Same formula with a different, irrelevant backdrop, Just once, I want the epic twist to be that the dudes just say "fuck this girl" and run away together. That would mix up the dynamic a little bit.
there is a whole parody series of cut-out re-dubbed scenes from twilight where both guys are gay and the female lead is chasing them but they keep rebuffing her.
Wow she never fucking read science fiction books. Douglass Adams has a lot of 'math' in his books I'll give Meyer that... But about 70% of it is BS for the sake of being BS. Issac Asimov doesn't do much in the way of math or explaining the science, he mostly focused on the psychological and the societal implications on what said science would mean for us... Orson Scott Card does much the same that Asimov does... In fact most Sci-Fi writers put all the 'math' and the 'science' on the wayside for more of a political or social commentary on said creations. The author of The Martian did have a lot of facts in his story, and there are many more examples of how I'm incorrect. But I'm just pointing out how Meyer has obviously judged all the books by a single phrase. Which is also not even deemed different than 'fantasy' in most libraries. Because the two are interchangeable to libraries an even in some books themself.
Shit, H.P. Lovecraft even wrote a bunch of short stories for a science fiction magazine, and none of the ones I have read had any math going on, and had more historical mumbo jumbo than science mumbo jumbo. It's funny that stephenie meyer pretty much uses that as her excuse for "eh, I didn't want to have to think that much" though lol
Whoa it's so real cause its edgy and confusing. Shut up, you want to see her getting it on with two guys at once but want to pretend you have real emotions about, stuff.
tobiashimself Sorry man, but you are quite full of yourself. The sentence wasn't confusing because the sarcasm was so over *****'s head. Rather, it was confusing because the sentence fails to convey a coherent thought. Seriously, it makes no fucking sense! XD
fuegosonic93 hey, i had an argument with 3 teenage girls over weather it was a cheep twilight knockoff. they insisted that it wasn't and it was actually a great movie. i died a little inside.
I am kind of disgusted by kissing already, it reminds me of the time when Bella asked Jacob to kiss her because he was gonna walk away but in order to keep him in their battle she had to let him kiss her.
You would also have to assume that they loaded an extra bullet into the chamber, because you can see that when she lowers the gun, it isn't empty. (Slide isn't locked back) So if Adam missed a single shot in there, then it may be wrong
Username0123456789 no, actually the 10 will not work on a glock 17. Also, there is a 32 round magazine as well. (and a 100 round beta mag) but all of those would stick out of the bottom (except the 17), so they were clearly not being used.
Yeah, how did a race of pacifist aliens take over the Earth where we have militaries, small armies, gangs, militants, crazy evil internet nerds and Texans? Battlefield: Earth is more credible than this. At least there was evidence of a struggle.
The fact that Meyer actually tried to explain a lot of things but the director is the one who just ignored all of the questions entirely is kinda mindblowing.
11:45 it's finally happened, people... a scene so fucking awkward and contrived that adam literally has to go on camera during one of his reviews to accurately convey his reaction to it XD
20:35 I love the sentence: "When a woman has an alien inside her and gets two guys going at each personality, that's my absolute dream!" That journalist has the weirdest fetish/fantasy ever!
I can't believe how excited I get when I see YMS posted a video. I'm subbed to a bunch of others and I like them but you are the only one I truly stop look at it and go all fan girl squeal when I see a new video.
Stephanie Meyers: "The Host is a science fiction story that's for people who don't like science fiction." YMS: "Death Note is an anime made for people that aren't into anime." Coincidence much?
As an anime geek, I love the hell out of Death Note. It simultaneously manages to have a certain level of narrative merit while also being incredibly enjoyable and downright hilarious on an ironic level. Alongside some batshit directing and a hilarious dub. It's a masterpiece. And a gateway drug for when I'm lonely and want someone else to join my cult.
I don't think she even thinks it's science fiction. She said its science fiction for people who don't like science fiction...so basically not science fiction. She's not bright.
satireknight My point exactly, its futuristic but science in it makes little sense and has nothing backing it up. Like star wars (except star wars is better written).
Liam Ratcliffe Of the utmost caliber. Seriously though, this pisses me off how she just generalized science-fiction as just about the mathematics and "spaceships." That's a pretty snide and uninsightful way of describing both the genre and the fans themselves, as if that's all that matters to it. Oooh, no, there's no social commentary, deep character development or even a sense of spirituality in ALL of sci-fi media. It's all about the space ship stuff. Yes, my jimmies are rustled.
You know what? I would actually go and see a movie about GIANT PACIFISTIC ALIEN SPIDERS taking over the world with...love or something. Sounds wacky and interesting xD
Holy shit, you will make a third part too?! O_O; This is a most lengthy review. Can't imagine how many videos you'd need for the Twilight franchise - 15? XD
I actually really like how they talk about the harmonious, peaceful world, since it's from the point of view of the aliens. Like a propaganda machine. It also shows just how much chaos humans cause, if just one alien is swayed from the 'good' path.
You say this is a science fiction movie for people who don't like science fiction? Answer me this: if they don't like science fiction, why would you expect them to see your science fiction film? Especially a fucking awful one.
It's because Meyer is a very suppressed, bitter woman who wants to have her self-insert (Stephanie Meyer - Melanie Styder I mean come on) loved and adored by everyone because she wasn't popular in high school but in a way that didn't make her look bad, hence all of the creepy forced kisses and otherwise sexual harassment disguised as being romantic in all of her work. The exact same thing happened in the Twilight series.
Before he was working with Escapist, the movie reviewer Moviebob read the entire Twilight series and summed it up as 'Mormon abstinence porn' (to be sure, at least the endless portion that happens before the characters fuck and Edward bites her umbilical cord with his teeth...I could be remembering that wrong...haven't read it myself). Whatever the case may be, Meyer's a weird creep and one of the most perfect 'successful writers' for the ultra-repressed and increasingly-psychologically-unaware culture of the declining United States. It's ironic that she wrote this book about aliens, because her work seems by and for people who increasingly act like they're another species from a faraway planet.
I've watched YMS's reviews dozens of times but what I love the most about this Host series is Adam showing that one lady whose like super creepily passionate about being forced upon. It always makes me laugh
BazanGaming "But that much he should've known"? How much gun trivia should the average person know? I don't know any person who would've been able to look at that gun and tell me how many rounds it can fire. And my relatives in the military don't count, they have a specialized job that requires them to have knowledge of weapons.
You're the only person I'm subscribed to that gives me a google plus update whenever you upload a new video. I don't know how that works or if you're even doing it, but thank you anyways!
+Monster Genome You kidding? I thought they actually came up with a couple of legitimate science based theories to go along with you show. Do some digging before you condemn it man.
Joshua Rosario alright that's one use of math to solve what boils down to a logic puzzle in a fairly popular science fiction TV show, and it was created by a man with a PhD in applied mathematics, so it's likely at least mostly real math. Now name another, not in Futurama.
+Monster Genome How does Legitimate science Not equal math, the two go hand in hand. unless you stating the obvious which you really don't need to do. Do you want a list of every science fiction show or movie which uses "legitimate" science compiled and handed to you only for you to say, "OK now give me another example." Your question was "When has there ever been a successful science fiction series that used actual math to explain itself?" we answered Futurama. You agreed, that's it. There doesn't need to be a list of examples.
"you had not one but 2 different kissing in the rain scenes-"
"well its a tropical climate"
ITS A FUCKING DESERT.
shhhh thinking about logic and expecting things to make sense is for n00bs
+Dem Heeeeey, i like your picture!
+existenceisrelative thanks, its from a little known indie game called undertale
God has abandoned us.
Well, teeechnicly tropical climate is mostly desert. The most common biome in the tropics is in fact desert. But, of course, in common speak it actually means otherwise.
The love interests are so generic that I literally couldn't tell them apart.
You must be one of them soul aliens.
This is Stephanie Meyer we're talking about, the creator of Jacob v Edward. Did you really expect the love interests to have personality?
Someone needs to find her and break her hands so she can't write any more of this junk. :)
coolcat001100 Same! XD
That seems to a common issue in a lot of modern movies. Hollywood has created such a narrow idea of young and attractive that the young attractive actors (especially men) have a tendency to look about the same and are hard to tell a part unless you make sure all the ones you put in your movie had different hair colors you make sure to dress them so they stand out from one another.
Yep, that's my dream: to be a polygamous schizophrenic.
Isn't it the dream of us all?
Not a choice when you have DID like me.
@@lordgulok500 oof
It’s DID not schizophrenia.
@aaronsdavis It worked for Twilight, so yeah, (non)sex sells to horny teenage girls, who knew.
I keep forgetting which boy is which
If only they were color-coded, one blond and the other brunet.
How about one that only acts through their absence of upper body clothing.
Jordyn Wingate I just call the blonde one Adam (from Supernatural [this movie is proof that he is in fact still in hell]) and I call the dark haired one... the other one.

yeah its really creepy when jared kisses wanda melanie keeps yelling no and the romantic music playing....
Ikr It really squicked me out its not sexy at all its scary as fuck
i actually have a rape fetish myself and this still creeps me the fuck out
And now you're creeping me the fuck out. :D
Hanfgurkenhasser
haha. the thing with rapeplay is that its fake. its pretend. we negotiate beforehand what i do and dont want. but in a situation like this in the movie the character did not consent beforehand or discuss limits.
extremelyhappysimmer
I know, I'm doing this myself from time to time, albeit in a...weaker way.
The scene would have been a lot creepier if she had actually screamed. But then again, the music would have been even more out of place.

Alien logic
What is it with Stephanie Meyer and her female protagonists always struggling between 2 guys?
It seems that threesome is one of her kinks.
+juppukun I think the real question is why is Stephanie Meyer obsessed with including sex in her stories that look a lot more like rape?
its her only plot device.
Imagine what her rendition of Star Wars would look like
Kevin Petrak God, please don't let that happen. Even the scummiest of human beings don't deserve to be exposed to that.
Why does Dianne Kruger always act like she's a hostage held at gunpoint in any interview shes in.
Because she is at gunpoint.
Her dignity was on gunpoint.
WonderGamer101 Dude, she was on a Stephanie Meyer book adaptation. Her dignity was shot and disposed of a LONG time ago.
Stephanie Meyer probably stood there, off camera training her gun on her.
To put the Host is Hostage
How to make a book like Stephanie Meyer, have bland characters with no personality, have hot guys everywhere, put very little plot
You forgot the awkward cross species threesome
And all you need is an annoying FanBase and merchandising and……… FINISHED!
It's like one of them dating sims with them female protagonists!...
Actually, that's exactly right, I can't think of one where the hot guys are the same species as the bland girl...
+SouthernSamurai no, its not about the hot guys, its about the akward sexual tension around the protagonist and the rest of the cast. have you ever seen those ridiculous dating simulators? where the protagonist find themselves meeting lots of women in common situations that get sexual/ pervy later on? like, they bump into one another and the girl falls backward showing their panties?
thats what this is: a dating simulator made into a movie. in those sims the protagonist has lots of women who like them. in twilight, shovel face and beef cake measure their dicks in front of mouth breather almost the entire movie, for example. here, she has to kiss a dude for going to the bathroom and shit. how ridiculous is that?
Sounds like a shitty romance manga. If only Stefanie Meyier was japanese, we would be spared from her "writting" since it would never get popular enough here.
A SciFi movie that isn't for people who like SciFi is... probably just going to be garbage no matter what.

The difference is that GoT works as fantasy, but also has other elements, while The host doesn't work as sci fi
Shiki Aura A horror for people who don’t like horror? XXX is the one.
A horror movie for those who don't like them? Wazaaaaaaaaaaaaaa😝
Oh good, rape romance. My most favourite kind of love story. ō-ō
Did nobody listen to the internal dialogue of Melanie during filming and go "Hey this kinda sounds like she's being sexually assaulted because she doesn't have control of her body."? Like, isn't it supposed to be romantic? What?
GirlBrony (Cringelord) yeah it's like she toyed with a sort of interesting idea (completely losing your bodily autonomy and competing with an alien host for consciousness, i'm sure it's been done before but it's still an idea with potential) and completely skipped over the internal struggle that would happen. it'd be scary as shit to still have consciousness but not be able to control your own actions, maybe in another book/movie the alien host choosing to kiss someone against the host's will would be creepy, invasive and engaging to read but nope. it's... romantic? stephanie meyer's really good at romanticising creepy shit.

Yeah. I think every time Meyer thinks about how what she is writing could be interpreted as a questionable fetish fantasy, the alien soul inside her shuts her up.
8:23, that gun appears to be a Glock 17, which happens to hold 17 rounds in its standard magazine.
Yup! And a whole heck of a lot of full size semi autos have 17 round magazines. I'm actually pretty pleased that they had it run out at 17, since a lot of movies have guns with mags which hold 100000 rounds.
Aww yisss, droppin' knowledge! Thanks for the info, as I know jack squat about guns, and I was curious about the gun firing off all those bullets.
Dr Shaym thanks for the info?
SamuraiPie8111 Don't thank me. Thank the Moon's gravitational pull.
Dr Shaym i do like glocks. she should have thrown it like a grenade at the truck though
Hey Adam I'm not criticizing you or anything but just fyi, Glock 17's and stuff have 17 bullet mag's so that technically is possible that the gun fired 17 times without a reload. But yes, movie guns do have unlimited ammo usually, I get the point and it was really funny anyway!
Herschels pump action shotgun nevr 4get
I prefaced it by saying I'm clearly not a gun expert because I figured it was possible even though it felt abnormal to me personally. Thanks for the info.
Yeah no prob I know it does seem ridiculous and I wasn't trying to be negative because ADUMISBASEDGOD
YourMovieSucksDOTorg You still have a bit of leadway, because the gun still has a bullet in the chamber. That is a bit of foresight if they put one in the chamber before loading
That's an extended mag which hangs out the bottom like 5"
You can clearly see it's a normal 10 round mag (possible he cocked the pistol forcing 1 round into the chamber then put another full mag on making 11 rounds)
I love how he hands the kid the shotgun, the kid says he doesn't know what to do, the adult says "figure it out" and literally the first thing the kid does is point the thing directly at the girl's face.
I love how fed-up the female lead is with all the questions about the kissing scenes lmfao good lord
I also love how the dude who likes Melanie is so honest about the kissing in the next episode. Also the dudes were better because they were funnier in the interviews.
Giant Spiders... Wait What?

Why couldn't the movie be about that? It sounds WAAAY more interesting then this garbage XD

I love how people act like actors treat screen/stage kissing as real passionate love type kissing. It's not. There's no affection involved. After one or two times it just becomes a chore and you're more focused on staying in character than actually being a good kisser. You can totally tell how annoyed the actors are when they get asked that question too.
I’m sure most people are aware it isn’t real. It’s called acting for a reason.

Stephanie Meyer writes lore that could be really awesome if expanded upon, but chooses to focus her stories on the blandest, shittiest characters she can come up with
For me it's not so much the lore but the premise. The premise is really good and could lead into a question of whether or not morality is more important than freedom. The problem is that Stephanie Meyer is the sort of person who watches Terrible Writing Advice and takes it seriously not understanding that its very heavy handed sarcasm.
The characters are bland on purpose...so every tween/ya can project themselves onto the totally ordinary but likewise incredibly special, loved and admired placeholder.
I wanted to see more of the vampire societies in the twilight books. Nope, love story!!!
There was an alien spider invasion that wiped out humanity but let's focus on this teen romance shit with B-movie leveles of production value
"It's murder. We were only trying to enslave your entire population."
That is the main thing that pisses me off about the movie. Like, the aliens act like they doing nothing wrong by essentially killing every human and using the bodies as puppets. But this alien's all"IM HELPING wtf is your problem" not considering that maybe the human girl doesn't want it stealing her body. AND they kill a few aliens and she gets all bent outa shape like what it's doing to the girl is much better.
You can't act the aliens are all smart and shit, but make the one controlling the girl so fucking stupid.
Then again, it's written by the maker of Twilight. I don't know why I expected more.
I mean if the species disassociated enough I could buy them believing their own propaganda about bringing peace by destroying the host’s consciousness. They do act against how they are supposed to in the movie but more in a movie villain way and not an intentionally written way.
Although, if they did want to make the aliens self righteousness more believable, they could have had it that the host’s consciousness isn’t actually destroyed but rather put into a fake perfect reality for that host while the parasite take control. Hell, that could even go onto explain why what’s-her-face could have survived the host implantation, but that would be too easy.
They could of even described it using basic science emotions are chemical reactions in the brain they are a parisitic creature so therfore they don't actually have any emotions because of them not having an original body to have experienced those chemical reactions making them emotionless and unempathetic meaning that they think they are doing good by preventing killing and such by taking control of the bodies but not having any empathy about it and not realising that they are the bad guys.
Oh wait it's Sci fi for people who don't like Sci fi so there can be no science mentioned at all

Imagine this concept as a horror film. An alien parasite that can infect anyone, slowly infiltrating society, infecting politicians until almost everyone is under their control, and the worst part? You can never know what's real.
ThePotatoGamer that did happen, it was a really shitty film called the invasion or something. It's so terrible, I would not recommend watching.
All the best concepts have the worst execution...
ThePotatoGamer Yeah, Invasion of the Body Snatchers was a great film. It was created during the height of the red scare, to capitalise on the paranoia of not knowing if your neighbour was "one of them," or not.
Oh you were joking? Yeah, this concept is nowhere near original and has been done many times before. And way better than it is here.
Also, Invasion was a remake of the original "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" movie.
Niall Reid I always get these mixed up, but was invasion of the body snatchers the one with the female lead, or with the dude that had the famous "i'm here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and i'm all out of bubblegum" the guy with the sunglasses i mean.
***** yeah, that's it. Thanks.
"… oh… STOP!! EEURRGH!!!!!" A++ acting.
And the funniest thing is, she's nominated for best actress this year at the oscars!
+Inside Reviews Maybe this movie taught her a lesson to be a better actress.
Osmosis Wright
Absolutely. She already got nominated for an Oscar in "Atonement". When she was a kid. There isn't a single actor or actress who has played her A game 100% of the time. Only Daniel-Day Lewis always has, and even he skips most of the roles he is offered.
Come on, decent actors will still perform terribly with bad direction. It's not like there's any redeeming factors in this movie to make you think it's the fault of the actor alone.. Try to think of a convincing way to perform this line, it can't be done lol
I mean... It was in her head
You know, Stephanie Meyer could have explained the alien souls thing in a logical way, through parasite evolution.
It could be argued that the soul alien creatures evolved on their planet first to have a symbiotic outside relationship with a native species on the planet, and as they evolved, they became more and more attached, until they started living inside of them. Because of further evolution that makes these creatures increasingly more intelligent, instead of having a natural parasite cycle like what is seen on Earth (usually an animal accidentally eats the remains or feces of another infected animal, sometimes even of another species), they eventually manage to evolve their own parasite cycle through the actions they use through the host bodies. As they become more and more adapted to this, they can no longer implant themselves through a natural cycle, requiring the use of surgery to spread. As the group of aliens that travel from planet to planet through body to body, their practice becomes more generalized and they are able to infect more hosts, therefore increase their survivability - while those that stay at home evolve in their host species and eventually may form a symbiotic relationship within them, similar to bacteria cultures in our digestive tract.
I think it's way too much to ask for though for someone like Meyer to have any knowledge of biological principles like this though.
I'm thinking way too much about this. Maybe I should just rewrite the twilight series so that it doesn't suck.
crazybuizel Yes. How does it feel thinking more about Meyer's writing than Meyer herself?
Awkward. Also I'm pretty sure I was blazed when I wrote that. Which makes me feel even more awkward.
+crazybuizel You should try bein' an author or something. While it wouldn't be too hard to do so, you'd beat Stephanie Meyers.
I'm working on a game at least... ;-;
fuck Stephanie, YOU should write a book
Saoirse looked so done with all the kissing questions "It's the boys, right? ...again."
+Kitkate02 Probably because she actually wants to be an actor
+masgames38 (Blaze) XD so true.
'Great! Interviewers! Now I can share an insight on my acting methods and connect with my audience!'
"So... How was the kissing?!"
'Ah, for feck sake..."
It took me so long to realize that Indian-looking guy who keeps showing up in this review was one of the "infected" people in the movie. I kept thinking it was zooming in on M Night Shyamalan's face from one of his movies where he cast himself every time YMS wanted to draw attention to something that didn't make sense or was stupid in The Host, as if to say "this is starting to seem like Shyamalan logic". I think it would be a lot funnier if that was the case.
Actually, having an earthling cut them self open for the host would have been more explainable than fucking spiders
astosky bam. right there. movie fixed (well, sorta...not really but sorta). took one youtuber probably 10 seconds to type this, yet Stephanie Meyer couldn't think about this idea and/or figure out how to write it down.
+AJ SuperSaiyanSwagger and he's got Lucario porn for a profile!

They should've got rid of the girl and just had a movie where two hot dudes kiss. Would've made it infinitely better. And I ain't even gay.
+0utta S1TE It's not gay if you say no homo beforehand. Then you can do whatever you want
+Mmm... Delicious Whenever someone says "no homo", they just seem to be a closet case to me. :P
kurvos To me it's not so much every one who says it seriously is full on gay. It just seems they're afraid of any thought with even a slightly gay undertone. Everyone's a little bit gay. They just hate it
Mmm... Delicious Yeah, it's a sign of not being secure with their own sexuality. And, there is no black and white with being gay or straight - we're all different shades of gray (or, "shades of gay", hurr hurr).

@@pytntheboy2176you see they had a race of actually bigger more powerful intelligent scorpions before that
I still can't tell the difference between the two main male protagonists. Seriously, same height, same hair style, same hair color, same skin color, even similar clothes! Is this in the books? If Meyer has such a hard-on for the *same fucking guy*, why did she add two? It's hot making out with two clones? I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but at least Twilight made it clear the differences between Edward and Jacob. They were drastically different and recognizable. When you can't tell which main character is which in a story that has no relation to clones, you done fucked it up.
+Kludgy Lynx The difference from the books is that the guys were in their thirties, and not weren't teenagers, the only teenager was the girl.

"There's a lot of physics and math involved, haha." In _science_ fiction? No? No fucking shit, Stephanie.
Gosh I’d hate to be a woman in Hollywood sometimes. “NOw ThE ReAl ThIng OuR vIeWeRs wanT tO KnOW-“ “it’s about the boys isn’t it... okay.” Poor Saoirse seemed so sick of that.
You can totally tell. Id be fed up. Its actually gross now that I think about it. Like this movie was targeting young girls because of the ages of the actors and they framed it as a dystopian romance (it came out when I was young) and the book is actually more for older audiences since the leads are mid thirties.
Okay, guys. Just hear me out on this.
Doesn't the whole concept for this book/movie seem sort of based on the whole "rape-fantasy-I'm-not-really-in-control-of-my-body-but-it's-hot" thing during 11:40 - 11:51 and 14:42 - 14:47? In fact, that really seems to be the entire premise for all the romance in this story-line? As if the entire alien-host plot was constructed around that type of fantasy? Almost as if Stephenie Meyer had made up this weird pseudo-rape scenario and built a shitty science fiction story around it?
It's pretty goddamn creepy, and like Adam said, a little rapey.
Yyyeeeaaahhhh.
"its not working!! QUICK, TAKE OFF MY PANTS!!" you sir are too good
I just realized something. This is like a bad version of Parasyte.
If only parasyte had a creepy/rapey love quadrangle like the host.
Liam Foote you mean square?
Goob65 oh yeah that is a square lol
At least the aliens in Parasyte had their own ability to tunnel into a human's flesh and took out this weird having to have an already infected person put the alien in there
Parasyte is just a shittier version of The Thing.
This shit isn't science fiction. It's romantic drama (a bad one at that) with a fictional premise (which is worse).
It's really rapey... like the fantasy of a really disturbed teenage girl.
I fell asleep with TH-cam's auto play on and woke up to 7:31 and it scared the fucking shit out of me.
Heh..
"it's not working ...quick take off my pants"
best comment ever!!!!
I'm surprised you never questioned why a creature that is said to have traveled for a great amount of time, such that its name has been lost, still has the maturity of a teenage girl.
Are all stephanie meyers stories weird three ways?
She doesn't know how to write anything but trash and the sad part is that it's working
jbmop Hell no! Worthless beings like her shouldn't have descendants!
It's the female target audience equivalent of those shitty harem anime.
It's like romance novels for tween girls. Same formula with a different, irrelevant backdrop, Just once, I want the epic twist to be that the dudes just say "fuck this girl" and run away together. That would mix up the dynamic a little bit.
there is a whole parody series of cut-out re-dubbed scenes from twilight where both guys are gay and the female lead is chasing them but they keep rebuffing her.
Wow she never fucking read science fiction books. Douglass Adams has a lot of 'math' in his books I'll give Meyer that... But about 70% of it is BS for the sake of being BS. Issac Asimov doesn't do much in the way of math or explaining the science, he mostly focused on the psychological and the societal implications on what said science would mean for us... Orson Scott Card does much the same that Asimov does... In fact most Sci-Fi writers put all the 'math' and the 'science' on the wayside for more of a political or social commentary on said creations. The author of The Martian did have a lot of facts in his story, and there are many more examples of how I'm incorrect. But I'm just pointing out how Meyer has obviously judged all the books by a single phrase. Which is also not even deemed different than 'fantasy' in most libraries. Because the two are interchangeable to libraries an even in some books themself.
people didn't reply becuz the don't understand ur smart words
Turtlelikker 360noscopez haha
Shit, H.P. Lovecraft even wrote a bunch of short stories for a science fiction magazine, and none of the ones I have read had any math going on, and had more historical mumbo jumbo than science mumbo jumbo. It's funny that stephenie meyer pretty much uses that as her excuse for "eh, I didn't want to have to think that much" though lol

Stories about teenagers kissing and coming back from the dead in odd ways? You're right, I think Stephanie does want to be a Hussie.
Seeing shit like this makes me feel so much better about my own writing.
4:23 Yeah I totally buy that these aliens have managed to conquer 99.9% of Earth.
Just curious:
18:14 - 20:45 is this what romance in the media is nowadays?
Whoa it's so real cause its edgy and confusing. Shut up, you want to see her getting it on with two guys at once but want to pretend you have real emotions about, stuff.
***** The most ironic insult.
It's sarcasm, and because you don't understand something doesn't make it stupid. I guess using quotation marks would have helped you.

I am kind of disgusted by kissing already, it reminds me of the time when Bella asked Jacob to kiss her because he was gonna walk away but in order to keep him in their battle she had to let him kiss her.
What show/book/movie is that from?
@@elevendyseven4227 Maybe 2 years late, but it's from Twilight.
17 rounds in a glock... holy shit.. they got it perfectly correct!!!! (assuming glock 17 (in 9mm))
Knowing that stuff is just a perk of being an all 'Merican patriot.
You would also have to assume that they loaded an extra bullet into the chamber, because you can see that when she lowers the gun, it isn't empty. (Slide isn't locked back)
So if Adam missed a single shot in there, then it may be wrong
Bigbang5766
True... good point.. but... it could just be a broken gun... :D
Bigbang5766
"Although other magazines from the Glock 17 will function, with available capacities of 10, 17, or 19 rounds."
Username0123456789
no, actually the 10 will not work on a glock 17. Also, there is a 32 round magazine as well. (and a 100 round beta mag) but all of those would stick out of the bottom (except the 17), so they were clearly not being used.
Yeah, how did a race of pacifist aliens take over the Earth where we have militaries, small armies, gangs, militants, crazy evil internet nerds and Texans? Battlefield: Earth is more credible than this. At least there was evidence of a struggle.
Imagine you're a crazy evil militant gang. Now imagine you're a Texan. But I repeat myself
kalibos ferk you
Giant alien spiders are no joke!
And don't get me started on Australia.
iam9991000
except... WE NEVER HEAR OF THEM IN THE ENTIRE MOVIE...
The fact that Meyer actually tried to explain a lot of things but the director is the one who just ignored all of the questions entirely is kinda mindblowing.
Why didn't the guys just kiss, it would have been hotter and there would be no sloppy seconds.
Jacob Johnson no kidding.
See THATS how you cater to a young female demographic. But Meyer is Mormon so there's no way that was gonna go down.
So she's okay with borderline rape and abuse in relationships, but "oh no! We can't have dem gays!"?
hell yeah!
Naw I think if uncle jeb had that dream it would make the movie 1000% better
11:45 it's finally happened, people... a scene so fucking awkward and contrived that adam literally has to go on camera during one of his reviews to accurately convey his reaction to it XD
20:35 I love the sentence: "When a woman has an alien inside her and gets two guys going at each personality, that's my absolute dream!" That journalist has the weirdest fetish/fantasy ever!
"Some Science Fiction has a lot of Physics and Math involved"

I can't believe how excited I get when I see YMS posted a video. I'm subbed to a bunch of others and I like them but you are the only one I truly stop look at it and go all fan girl squeal when I see a new video.
Stephanie Meyers: "The Host is a science fiction story that's for people who don't like science fiction."
YMS: "Death Note is an anime made for people that aren't into anime."
Coincidence much?
Neither of those statements make a lot of sense( especially since deahr note is smothered in anime trash).
As an anime geek, I love the hell out of Death Note. It simultaneously manages to have a certain level of narrative merit while also being incredibly enjoyable and downright hilarious on an ironic level. Alongside some batshit directing and a hilarious dub. It's a masterpiece. And a gateway drug for when I'm lonely and want someone else to join my cult.
What? From the overreactions , to the extended inner monologues, and even the character quirks; death note has anime tropes scattered throughout.
20:40
Can someone replace the word "dream" with "fetish"?
"It's not working. QUICK TAKE OFF MY PANTS." Ah yes. The solution to everything.
The reason I like science fiction so much is because it’s about spaceships and how fast it goes. She stripped me to my core with that comment.
I never saw the movie and I feel violated. Thanks for the warning, YMS.
The Host is more like science fantasy. Big difference stephanie.
That doesn't prevent the movie (and book) from being complete shit.
Ronnie300Fan91 True
+brken11 more like shit fantasy...
I don't think she even thinks it's science fiction. She said its science fiction for people who don't like science fiction...so basically not science fiction. She's not bright.
satireknight My point exactly, its futuristic but science in it makes little sense and has nothing backing it up. Like star wars (except star wars is better written).
The first host got into a depressed Twilight fan who cut themselves because Midnight Sun was cancelled.
(This movie is a science-fiction movie not for science-fiction fans)
Wait what
GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!
Liam Ratcliffe Of the utmost caliber.
Seriously though, this pisses me off how she just generalized science-fiction as just about the mathematics and "spaceships." That's a pretty snide and uninsightful way of describing both the genre and the fans themselves, as if that's all that matters to it. Oooh, no, there's no social commentary, deep character development or even a sense of spirituality in ALL of sci-fi media. It's all about the space ship stuff.
Yes, my jimmies are rustled.
Maverickslayer744 there is no need to be upset........
Liam Ratcliffe Yeah, I'm possibly overreacting, but you have to admit that was a bit of a snide way of describing the genre.
Maverickslayer744 no, I wasn't judging you I just was further referencing the "rustles my jimmies" line
You know what? I would actually go and see a movie about GIANT PACIFISTIC ALIEN SPIDERS taking over the world with...love or something. Sounds wacky and interesting xD
People of Earth, we come in peac...*SPLAT giant shoe*
And thus humanity creates a special task force to fight this threat: N.O.P.E
Holy shit, you will make a third part too?! O_O; This is a most lengthy review. Can't imagine how many videos you'd need for the Twilight franchise - 15? XD
He'd be aged 60 by the end of it.
He did like a five part review on Walking Dead, each being 40 minutes. That is his RedLetterMedia Phantom Menace review equivalent, I think.
Adum: Funnily enough, 17 is exactly a clip of certain pistols.
I actually really like how they talk about the harmonious, peaceful world, since it's from the point of view of the aliens. Like a propaganda machine. It also shows just how much chaos humans cause, if just one alien is swayed from the 'good' path.
firstecho But that's said by narration, not by one of the aliens like via a TV broadcast or radio or something
You say this is a science fiction movie for people who don't like science fiction? Answer me this: if they don't like science fiction, why would you expect them to see your science fiction film? Especially a fucking awful one.
Good point
Probably two reasons. Stephanie Meyers and hot guys/girls in the advertising. Pretty solid reasoning I guess.
It's because Meyer is a very suppressed, bitter woman who wants to have her self-insert (Stephanie Meyer - Melanie Styder I mean come on) loved and adored by everyone because she wasn't popular in high school but in a way that didn't make her look bad, hence all of the creepy forced kisses and otherwise sexual harassment disguised as being romantic in all of her work. The exact same thing happened in the Twilight series.
Stephanie Meyer - Melanie Styder

The similar initials, the similar last names.....
I-I'm gonna be sick!!!
Before he was working with Escapist, the movie reviewer Moviebob read the entire Twilight series and summed it up as 'Mormon abstinence porn' (to be sure, at least the endless portion that happens before the characters fuck and Edward bites her umbilical cord with his teeth...I could be remembering that wrong...haven't read it myself). Whatever the case may be, Meyer's a weird creep and one of the most perfect 'successful writers' for the ultra-repressed and increasingly-psychologically-unaware culture of the declining United States. It's ironic that she wrote this book about aliens, because her work seems by and for people who increasingly act like they're another species from a faraway planet.
This movie is actually, physically hurting my head. I need some fucking Excedrin.
I've watched YMS's reviews dozens of times but what I love the most about this Host series is Adam showing that one lady whose like super creepily passionate about being forced upon. It always makes me laugh
Love the clockwork orange music in the beginning
I'm not 100% sure but can't handguns have up to 18/21 rounds? In that case, shooting 17 times isn't weird.
I think they actually didn't surpass the Glocks ammo capcity in this scene. I think the glock 17 can hold 18 rounds if one is in the chamber.
TheBuilderize Exactly. They shot 17 shots.. So it's totally cool and nothing needed to be pointed out about it :P
Sam Lafrance Lol I know, but that much he should've known. But I'm not judging :P
TheBuilderize it can hold up 21 with one in the chamber if you have a bigger and i think there's even a bigger clip
BazanGaming "But that much he should've known"? How much gun trivia should the average person know? I don't know any person who would've been able to look at that gun and tell me how many rounds it can fire. And my relatives in the military don't count, they have a specialized job that requires them to have knowledge of weapons.

When has there ever been a successful science fiction series that used actual math to explain itself?
maybe, but not likely
+Monster Genome You kidding? I thought they actually came up with a couple of legitimate science based theories to go along with you show. Do some digging before you condemn it man.
Cody Holder legitimate science =/= math
Joshua Rosario alright that's one use of math to solve what boils down to a logic puzzle in a fairly popular science fiction TV show, and it was created by a man with a PhD in applied mathematics, so it's likely at least mostly real math. Now name another, not in Futurama.
+Monster Genome How does Legitimate science Not equal math, the two go hand in hand. unless you stating the obvious which you really don't need to do.
Do you want a list of every science fiction show or movie which uses "legitimate" science compiled and handed to you only for you to say, "OK now give me another example."
Your question was "When has there ever been a successful science fiction series that used actual math to explain itself?" we answered Futurama. You agreed, that's it. There doesn't need to be a list of examples.
I can’t believe I’m still watching part 2, this movie is painful, but Adam kinda helps
