The copyright claim kept blocking me from placing ads and (more importantly) blocking it in certain countries, so i believe this was a very suitable solution. This was a final minute change as a last ditch effort to avoid a claim and it worked (idk if it will hold up as it could still get claimed but we will see). U might see this format again if i have to use it or maybe it will become a mainstay from now on, i think it looks rather good actually. It looks like the channel was supposed to have the videos like that since the start tbh.

Later in the states, the mother of the girl asks, "omg your found your daughter, where is my daughter?" Mr. Taken slaps his thigh and says, "I KNEW I forgot something." Cue laugh track.
This movie assumes that a bunch of rich people would be more concerned about this one girl than the line of bodies of their friends stretching 2 miles off toward the horizon, which is pretty ridiculous. I think like a couple hours into him being in Paris, they just would have been like "okay man here you go, go away"

@@b0xman935 I very rarely buy movies, because not many are worth watching more than once (or even once), but I own all 3 of these on Blu-Ray. They are REALLY good.
i mean, it's only badass if they get away with it. if the dad said the stuff he said and wasn't actually able to do anything that part wouldn't have been badass either
That impeding sense of doom you feel towards the end of every Highboi video as you realize your 12-17 minutes of happiness is going to be replaced by hopless uncertainty.
One thing that's funny about this movie to me is that the daughter is going to follow the band U2 on a tour of Europe. Because the movie came out in 2008, and no girl her age would have been into U2 like that. It was clearly the boomer/gen X writer of the movie not knowing what music young people listen to.
I honestly forgot how absolutely violent his character was, didn't realize he shot a unknowing innocent mother in the shoulder in front of her children.
High boi is both the angel and the devil on my shoulders, one screaming at me to be good, the other telling me to stop being a b*tch and go do something intresting. I don't know what weed i smoked that made these halucinations appear, but i know which one i'm listening to
The US should be same but all the environmentalists like using things that have to be repaired or replaced all the time and kills animals or the really polluting power plants... weird huh? They say they trust the science and the second they feel something then science doesn't matter or their feelings are the science.
LMFAO, everything you said here was pretty much aligned with my first reaction to this movie!! I was so angry with the characters for being flat out morons and ignore common sense the entire time-
honestly, I don't hate the new format. It's kind of a personalized twist on your videos that feels unique to you, kind of like the green border thumbnails.
I don't know if you will see this, but Liam Neeson was talking to the French trough a walkie talkie, not a phone directly. This means that the trick would work, unless they are able to tap into the frequency of the walkie. Also they absolutely could have tracked the signal since it would look suspicious for a phone to be on a roof in this context and get to him before he finished the installation.
i hardly even noticed the fact that the movie was playing on high boi's actual monitor, not just in full screen. i think it's a lot more interesting and gives room for the subtitles, as well as the upside of avoiding copyright claims.
Is high boi actually HIGH while making these?.?. The thought process seems so crazy and interesting that I believe he must be high as shit when making these
2:10 dumbest part of the plot. If Liam Neeson is that concerned about Paris, why not just take the week off and go there with her? Most scripts would have the victim get kidnapped in the USA circumventing the whole "you need permission to leave the country" type thing, or have them already living abroad like Man On Fire but this has EXPLICTLY stated that Liam Neeson (yes I know the character is Brian Moses) is former CIA and currently high level in, or possibly owns, a successful private security company which is evidenced by him working close protection at the gig. Normally a script would create some kind of reason then for him NEEDING to work the week that she just so happens to have to leave, a big contract they can't afford to lose or that he'd have bills from a gambling problem or a mother in the hospital or something to make him need to work all the time to get as much money as possible. But this guy is likely his own boss, or high enough in the company that he could just say "I'm taking a week off, deal with it" (what are they going to do fire him? there's plenty of close protection companies that would want ex-CIA employees) and has as far as we can tell no external pressures for money, must have some savings from when he worked for 'The Company' so why doesn't he just take a week off and follow her around like her own close protection? Some scripts would give a reason she slipped him, like set up early on a story he's telling about a time he had to give someone the slip while working for the CIA, she overhears it and then uses the same trick on him, and he finds out she's snuck out or got on a different bus or whatever. You might think it is good they didn't go that "corny" but they just didn't give a reason at all! He just doesn't feel like it I guess.... Having it where Liam Neeson also travelled to Paris with her AND then she gets taken would also alleviate the comical implied existence that after the famous phone call scene, Liam Neeson had to *angrily get into his car and drive to the airport, get on a little shuttle bus from the airport to the plane, then while brooding refuse anything from the air stewardess and ignore the coach passenger next to him snoring or the screaming kid in the seat behind...* Also the sequels (because of course they had to make sequels with an identical theme) imply that while Liam Neeson is clearly very capable, he's just very careless with family members, because after having had his daughter kidnapped you might think he would take better precautions in future, but no... Taken 2 and Taken 3....
