I'm not drinking out of Charl. Charl is fine.
Love the score. Who's it by?
I was just about to ask if that was the same coconut. I hope Charl learns the meaning of life throughout this season.
I hope Charl couldn't see you drink out of one of his kind.Imagine of the trauma! 😱
Patrick forget under the silver lake but make sure you do watch the souvenir, you'll love it!
Julian Zivy Seconded! The Souvenir is fantastic!!!
when Charl is not in a scene, people should be asking "Where's Charl?"
Oh god, will Charl leave because his planet needs him?
When you said "the sexy dragon show" I got a bit confused because I already erased GoT from my mind and thought you were talking about How to Train Your Dragon...
same
Rick&Morty?
Me too - and I didn't even watch the last movie. I just tried to scrub GoT from my memory...
Oh thank god I'm not the only one.
Early season are to good to forget if you ask me. Can't let a bad ending ruin a great show or some of the best seasons of television would be ignored simply because whatever follows them is crap. I try to view seasons like I would individual movies in a series. If the sequels are shit you still have the original and if they are great then all the better.
"Instead of yelling about how you want R rated superhero moves because 'you're an adult' just go see actual movies made for adults."
This is advice we needed in 2018, but it's good to have it now.
I was thinking "I haven't most of that movie. But do I want to see it? No." to half of the movies on this List.
These are not movies made for "adults", they're movies made for a very specific audience... some made just for film critic credentials or award baiting.
Most of them I wouldn't pay to watch in a cinema though... it's just too expensive for that.
Por qué no los dos
?
Nobody makes films for critics, that simply doesn't pay the bill. Awards ditto, though it's good for marketing. And yes, many of those films were made for adults. Something like Thor clearly wasn't.
*2023
Scott’s voice: BOOKS
Me: oh boy, I love books, what’s Pat reading?
Patrick: I haven’t read anything new, let’s move on.
Me: Aw man
It's not Scott! All the voiceovers are by Chad Ruhle!
Patrick (H) Willems Oooh, the more you know! Good to keep in mind! 😁
@@patrickhwillems I thought it was Charl.
"It's like Charles but singular," is the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. Maybe I need sleep tho.
This year in film feels weird for me because, while I feel like I saw a lot more movies than I normally do, there are still SO many more that I haven’t seen yet.
We all needed to come back here after the Patrick Explains video.
how did I not notice the sunglasses transition before??
"So, I didn't work while on vacation. But I should have."
Dude just relax :D
Even then, he kind of did. He collaborated with LegalEagle on a video while on vacation.
"It's like Charles - but singular"
the best sentence in tthe video
this is retrospectively hilarious
as only things from the last two months of 2019 and the first two months of 2020 can be
How you feeling about it now?
The star wars sequel trilogy ended up being two people talking past each other which was really a perfect metaphor for the 2010's
Charl is 2020's Baby Yoda
“Patrick” came back from his vacation with his sunglasses... It was right in front of us all along!
2019 had so many GREAT adult films and non-franchise films. The Lighthouse, Midsommar, 1917, The Irishman, Marriage Story, Ford V Ferrari, Parasite and Knives Out were great! And even franchise films like John Wick 3 and Toy Story 4 show that franchise films can still be exciting and emotionally engaged. But TV this year was great: I'm looking at you Mindhunter S2, Chernobyl and of Course WATCHMEN!
Patrick: I hope everyone talks about Little Women
Also Patrick: let’s not talk about books though.
Talk about the books you read!
He was talking about the Little Women movie, not the book.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so good at mixing the low-brow & high-brow as Patrick.
The notion of high and low is the greatest injury ever performed to art
@@mrhypnagogia i almost want to ask you to dm me, I've been thinking about that exact problem for so long
He seemed rather elitist to me. Particularly in the beginning, while discussing film. He makes a number of assumptions, which turn out to be rather insulting.
J. Cole?
@@CaesiusX
"The Black Panther & The Last Jedi are great blockbusters"
"The Joker is a bad blockbuster"
Give us a CATS video and noone gets hurt.
Charl is our god now.
Charl! Charl! Charl! Charl!
Hurray, more coconuts this year.
I think AMC has been doing a good job at promoting “non-franchise” films. It’s been nice seeing more and more of those kinds of movies get more attention.
The AMC Independent was better at doing it for indie films. The current brand(Artisan Films) mostly just slaps it on any mid-budget studio films(Joker, Cats, etc.)
"Instead of yelling about how you want R rated superhero moves because 'you're an adult' just go see actual movies made for adults."
While I don't think this is wrong, I think it highlights a broader issue in western movies in that not enough adult-targeted movies explore fantastical and sci-fi worlds. I love a good mystery, or crime drama, or action movie as much as anyone, hell Gone Girl is probably my favorite film of the decade.
But there genuinely aren't enough movies that use less realistic topics to address complex adult themes like Arrival, Annihilation, Ex Machina, or The Martian.
well. yes. in my mind, i paraphrase "watch more actual movies made for adults" into "watch more good anime that is made for adults; seventies sci fi may have died and been composted to grow space cowboys but it was reborn like the phoenix in anime like so much stuff, depending on the genre. way too much to see it all. nobody would want to; but good adult stuff of any given genre. it's being made up to some standard or the other. obviously kid stuff and obviously plenty of bad stuff, too
BDG is soooo gonna freak out about that namedrop from Perfect PokeRap.
I like the way in which different Patricks are going insane across different videos series.
the reveal in the latest patrick explains makes this comment so fun to see now
"Go see more then 4 movies a year..."
Jokes on you Patrick, I only see 1 movie a year!
is that movie little women?
Ya, I probably see fewer than that on average. I have my own tastes and I'm poor, I'm not going to just pay to watch stuff I don't want to just because I have a quota or something.
I'm too poor and don't have a lot of time. Still got to listen to some podcasts though 😺
I only saw Joker, but 4 individual times.
Jokes on Patrick, but...he wouldn't get it...
Happy New Year man.
The detail of Patrick not wanting to talk about his “vacation” is excellent foreshadowing looking back.
6:16 Patrick I am absolutely with you on your argument, and continue to be disheartened and frustrated with the toxic fan culture that only seems to get worse as Time goes on.
Also, it is not that I want to defend the toxic fans or the trolls, but just simply in the case of "going to more movies" that can be pretty difficult. Movie ticket prices are out of control. Going to the movies was something that could be done almost weekly, but now people, especially families of two or more, have to be selective in how they spend their movie budget. When you now have to invest $45 dollars just to get a family of 4 through the door, I can definitely understand being angry about what you are getting being hot garbage.
This is what I wanted to say, only more articulate. When I was in college and could watch a movie on campus for $5 I watched a ton of stuff. Now that I have to spend $15 *and* drive 20 minutes to get to the theater, most of the time I just prefer to wait until it's on a streaming service. So I don't watch most new movies until more than a year after they are released, and the conversation has already moved on.
Theater prices are definitely higher than they have been before. But its interesting to me that movie theater chains don't make money on the tickets. I used to work at Landmark Cinema's, a Canadian company, where ticket prices was about $14 a ticket, but most of the income came from concessions. Our Managers gave out a lot of passes to people when issues occurred on the technical side.
It wasn't something they considered valuable, because the profits from the tickets go to the studios more than anything.
Heck, Disney raised the price for The Rise of Skywalker to $15 at the theater, and we couldn't do anything about it.
The theater going experience is defined more than ever now by what will get people to come into the theater. Some theaters will run Marvel Movies for 9 weeks instead of picking up smaller films because it will still pull more people to the theater, and those people might buy concessions, and thus make the theater money. Its saddening.
I think the big thing that we, as consumers, have to do more than ever, is look up (non spoiler) reviews online from people with similar tastes. We have to search out what might be good, and use our dollar to not just support the blockbusters that can disappoint, but seek out the smaller films that may be worth watching. Its not the easiest thing, but it can make a difference. It may mean the conversation circles you can be apart of are a lot smaller, but I think that's better than sitting through a disappointing film and wasting $45.
I also think that while it can be difficult for families to go out, most of the "toxic" fans generally aren't in families. Most families I know are just happy to spend time with the family, and if the films bad, would rather ignore it than complain online. Even in the theater, the parents most times didn't care as much about the film as the kids.
A lot of bad criticism comes from the younger generation (and I am apart of that generation.). We care about the films we watch more, but we also need to stop relying on benchmark names to pull us into the theater. Tons of my friends would rather watch Joker or Spiderman than Knives Out, because the franchise is well known. Whats popular tends to be what people watch, even if there are other options.
It may not be easier to watch more movies, but I think its fairly easy to check what those who have seen the film have thought, and then decide if its worth the time.
Browsing youtube and google is super easy, and can save lots of money.
But that's just my 2 cents.
@@filmwiebe1703 Well said. Ultimately, it is up to the consumer to be smarter and vote with their dollar. It just used to be easier for an accidental success because it was not as big of a financial risk to head to the theater.
Also, I think it is wildly unfair for studios to have the much power over theaters, but I also get that they are trying to make money too and a movie is not a cheap thing to make
@@joeman1224 So true. Its a shame though that a certain studio is raking in cash and yet the CGI companies they work with go under.
Films are expensive to make, but how the profit is distributed is so wack.
this to a T. i wanted to see the lighthouse, knives out, cats, and little women this year (to name a few) but couldnt because ticket prices are unmanageable and my partner works on the only matinee day our theatre has (not to mention our only movie theatre in town straight up suspended all matinee prices when star wars came out). it was $55 for our family of four to see star wars, and its literally all the movie money we could spare for the month. same with endgame.
I really love your content, and relate to a lot of thoughts and things you said, even the personal stuff. I honestly had a very bad 2019, started a spanish speaking movie related youtube channel and then I got super depressed and I quit almost immediately. But I want to tell you that you're a huge inspiration for me, and now I think I'm coming back to youtube :')
from an Argentinian fan that made spanish subtitles for several of your videos.
also, you didn't like The Mandalorian wtf are you insane lol
Soooo evidently we’ve been watching a tax-dodging parallel world convict Patrick for the past year. Holy doppelgänger!
Patrick: mentions Ford v Ferrari
Me: YES. That was an excellent movie. A nice, tight, largely character-driven story, good performances from Christian Bale and Matt Damon, great racing, and some damn sexy cars.
Patrick, I think this is the best produced video you've made in some time. The lighting is great and I think you integrated the music and effects very well! Keep up the good work.
Week-to-week is my favourite release schedule. Getting to talk about each episode rather than just discussing the series as a whole extends the pleasure and allows for more head-canon from the viewers.
Plan for the Year: More of Patrick's Parents.
Whatever direction you go in Patrick, I'm in support. I only arrived this year but I love this channel. I want nothing more than for you to become a successful director
Yay! Glad you're back Patrick and that you had a break. Can't wait for you to check out the Last Black Man In San Francisco. That opening scene is just...chef's kiss. The buildup of the music, the slow motion of each shot, the voice over, all of it makes for such a beautiful opening scene. Reminds me why I love movies each time I watch it.
I’m in love with Chal, please don’t let anyone hurt him
If you love him so much, why can't you spell his name correctly?
MOVIES ARE FUN
I love your videos so much, I'm fully on board with whatever you decide to make!
Good luck!!
Welcome back, Patrick (H) Willems! And I'd like give a special welcome to Charl, who's undoubtedly going to be the most exciting character find of 2020! There's just something about him.
It's funny, when you listed all your favorite things from 2019 I got the feeling that our Venn Diagrams are substantially different, but also substantially intersect. We seem to like about 60% of the same things, but that remaining 40% is _very_ different. That's a good thing. In this factionalized world it's important to listen to people with whom we don't share every single opinion in advance. You can (and often do) surprise me, and that's cool.
Oh, and to add one more thing, I think a big story of 2019 (and every year of this century before it) is how the studios just don't understand how to make blockbuster movies. The blockbusters of the 80's and 90's all came from people with singular creative visions. In today's world the tentpole movies are either safe and homogenized (like a lot of Marvel) or the studios do give creative control to individuals, but they pick the _wrong_ people (GoT), or there's a combination of both failure modes. (Star Wars.)
The real way to make blockbuster movies is to _not_ try to make blockbuster movies. Encourage a bunch of people with strong creativity to make smaller movies with smaller budgets, watch to see which of those people are the most successful, then snap them up to make something bigger. In other words you've got to evolve them from the bottom up, instead of designing them from the top down. But that means evolving new trilogies and franchises instead of continually extending the old ones.
Love the video, can't wait to see what's in store for us in 2020. Thanks for all you do Pat.
About bloody time...been waiting for this! Go get 'em, Patrick!
Welcome back Patrick! Love your channel and your analyses.
I am so hyped for this big narrative video project!
I’m excited about your narrative films, I really enjoy the short films you make :)
this unraveled patrick (h) willems crossover is something i now realize i should have seen coming, but am delighted by nonetheless
I absolutely adored John Wick 3, I can't wait for John Wick 4 and the new Matrix
.... new Matrix...
Why is my head pounding?
On the topic of Binge Watching, according to some data-tracking it seems like series like The Witcher that was released in bulk was still widely popular and talked about a month after release, on the same page as The Mandalorian. There was a popularity "war' between the two a week ago. I don't think the binge watching experience is going to go away anytime soon as it is working perfectly fine for NETFLIX it seems. I do not mind the weekly release of The Mandalorian but I think it didn't help Game of Thrones season 8 to have everybody pick apart every episode for 7 days before the new one came out. People would have probably been much kinder to the last season if it was released in bulk.
Looking forward to the rest of the year!
I love your list. You have great taste in film and you always keep me entertained and thinking with your videos.
2019 is forever "the year of the Jellicle Cats." I think the raw absurdism embodied in that phrase does a good job of encapsulating the year. Anus felium jelliclarum it is.
But seriously I love your content, keep up the good work. Dolemite and the Irishman my top two this year
We need more CATS content in 2020!
Also, I hope since you didn't get any travel footage it means you were actually able to have a relaxing vacation, you deserve it
Every 30 seconds in one of your videos I say to myself, “I love this guy’s style so much! There is nothing else like this!”
I've been watching Patrick for years and I never thought to ask what the H stands for... I guess I'll never know
Watching this in October and feeling nostalgic for the beginning of the year when we knew things were going to be bad, but not like this. How naive we were.
Also, watching this makes me miss going to see movies in a theater. 2019 spoiled us with so many movies that made the theater-going experience so amazing.
I love this discussion!
But also I love the new glasses, they really make your eyes pop.
After Star War broke my heart, I too could use a variety of strange, exotic movies to help me forget her.
@Ginger Timelord
I've seen the last two you mention, and while 7 Psychopaths was enjoyable to watch, it's hardly strange or exotic, and Gattaca is not my taste to put it politely. And it's not a new movie.
What new movies are there for someone who prefers stuff like eXistenZ, The Element of Crime, Mulholland Dr., Upstream Color....
“The sexy dragon show”
What version of HBO does Patrick pay for?
2019 was the most 2010s year of the 2010s.
The Gloomy Texan I would also throw 2016 in running. Not just for movies though.
9:33 FORESHADOWING! Genius.
Charl is a good representation for coconuts.
Stripes?! I am so excited for an entire video on the Bill Murray Harold Ramis classic Stripes!
Thank you for making this point clear Patrick. I’m sick of hearing people complain about the lack of originality in cinema but the thing is they don’t go and watch independent films instead they only go to see the new fast and furious
The last Fast and Furious movie was in 2015. Are you sure it's not the MCU you're talking about here?
@@antona.1327 The last F&F movie was in 2017, 2019 if we count Hobbs and Shaw, a spin-off. But what Brilliant said can also apply to Marvel.
That better mean there's a video essay on the Bill Murray film 'Stripes'. If he doesn't do it, all the plants are gonna die.
I did not get notifications for your last four videos, this included. I hadn't checked if you were still uploading till I noticed this vid. My notification button is on...
Hi Patrick just discovered your channel. I like your content
Especially the comic related stuff.
I’ve been a big fan and supporter of non-binge watching and I’m really happy it’s taken off this year.
Your videos bring me joy
Looking forward to more!
Starting to binge this season before 2023 comes
Noticing during this video how much I appreciate your music choices. Background music kills or homogenizes the work of many other TH-camrs. Great work!
Also, I too am still so freaking hung up on 2019. What a year!! I'm still working on finalizing my personal "19 or '19" along with a few notable films that are still on my to-watch list: The Irishman, The Report, Midsommar, and Portrait of a Lady on Fire. letterboxd.com/oursbyaccident/list/top-19-of-19/
I’d love to see a video essay on Joker and why you didn’t like it. Even if I can’t agree with your opinion on the film it would be interesting to see your opinion on the film and Todd Phillips.
Same but I'm afraid it will be just another person who completely missed the class aspect of the film, so of course only sees it as a messy movie about a super villain
@@DonLasagna It's very hard to miss the class aspect. The movie is not subtle
@@DonLasagna Or maybe he sees a messy movie about class that deals with its subject matter with elegance of bull in china shop. What do we know. But don't make him strawman just because he doesn't share your opinion. That is hardly fair.
@@patrickhwillems I agree but you would be surprised how many pieces written on it don't even bring it up. not even a passing mention. I understanding saying, "it's here but I didn't like it's execution." but the amount of people who didn't mention it once leads me to believe some people genuinely missed that element, and thought this was just a film about mental illness.
Patrick, you're the shit and I love your videos. Please continue to make them. Thank you, and goodnight.
Wow you summed up the RoS in like two sentences. I had to pause and absorb it cuz perfect
I love the foreshadowing to the best internet video of 2019 at 0:09
"SKRRRELP"
Yeah, there's so much shit to watch, listen to, read and just generally do that it's hard to keep track of things, which is, funnily enough, something discussed with my literary theory professor when we got to talking about Swans and music in general. What you said is exactly what I experienced when talking to most people about music, everyone has their own niche and is an expert of it, and that's great, but also sucks when you and the person you're talking to share more things you don't listen to/read/watch than the things you do. The best solution that I found for this problem was to prioritize stuff and make sure that whatever it is that I want to get to, it would be worth my time and I'd like it or would at least get something useful out of it, and it made the whole ordeal much simpler and opened some space so I'm contend with it. I'm stoked for more of your content, and hope you'll hear my prayer and make a video on why Urban's Dredd is great. Hell, I should make it instead, but that's a topic for another time. Much luck to you and your team and I hope you're gonna have bitchin' 2020!
Thank you for introducing me to the perfect pokerap. It absolutely lived up to its name.
I love the inception intro😂
You really hit the nail on the head with Charl and our love for him
He's 2 weeks into 2020...
OMG One cut of the dead is so so good. Get to that immediately. :)
he thought binge watching was dead. his ass did NOT know what was coming
Rewatching this after the Dick Tracy video to search for any clues. If people can obsess over Falcon and The Winter Soldier theories, I can scour every frame of this video for the secret charl clues.
Well, now you’ve got your timey-wimey revelation. Happy and/or confused?
Wow, I agreed with every single thing you said in the section on movies and TV. Great analysis Pat 👏
Oh god, we had no idea at this point.....
loll Weeks away from the shit hitting the fan.
Would love to see you do a video essay on either 1917 or a video on Roger Deakins like you did for Terrence Malik and Michael Bay. Its one of my favourite films of the year, and absolutely stunning visually.
Looking forward to getting to know Charl
I haven't watched enough 2019 releases in time to make my Best/Worst lists on Letterboxd. You're absolutely right, Patrick, there's way too much stuff out there and not enough time or willpower.
It took a minute for me to realize what "the sexy dragon show" was
Happy to hear somebody mention Ad Astra. I feel like in any other year it would be called one of the best, but it feels like it was lost under the weight of a freakishly large number of excellent pictures.
I say this not to be pedantic but to turn your analogy on its ear and give you space to relax: if you stop swimming you don't drown, you just float. It's actually really nice sometimes.
Now what I wanna see more than anything, is your short review on Joker. Love the video.
Love your stuff thanks for making stuff
One Cut of the Dead is spectacular. You will love it
Not sure if you've done this, but I'd like to see a video on unconventional music choices in movies. For example, hip-hop/rap in Django unchained, or I want candy (pop) in Marie Antoinette. I'd love your take.
I'm rewatching the Charl saga because I finally got Nebula and I'm reacquainting myself with the lore before watching Night of the Coconut. 1/26
We all stan for Charl now.
Can't wait for your 2020 review - Event 201 Rocks!
Great video as always, Patrick! My top five were the exact same as yours for 2019!!! Parasite, marriage story, once upon a time, little women, uncut gems. My film taste is the same as yours!
Cool! 6 out of 10 of our favourite movies of the year align! (I haven't seen Uncut Gems or Portrait of a Lady on Fire yet -the curse of living in a small city)
why do I feel like Charl has been in our lives for more than two years?
