Bad Film Theories

Comments

Very good video that I enjoyed! I used to watch matpat a lot in high school so it was a very fun surprise to see this. I think you might've touched on it in the video but it's so fascinating to me how the man sees profit as an automatic moral good but basic survival is not. It sounds like a very tragic way to think about your own humanity, much less the rest of the world. Also every time you said "but that's just a theory" i lost it. I am like a baby who is shocked every time I play peekaboo. Head absolutely empty.

Really bad.

Phenom video as usual🔥💖 I now have to ask when you're going to talk about the CRT Indocrination task force that that Idaho Lt Governor McGeachin set up [https://lgo.idaho.gov/education-task-force/]. It's nuts and I need someone to talk about it.

Hmmmm interesting. a shame that the last sentence of the video is just factually accurate and not even a take lol. I’m not sure. Should we still take media criticism seriously and be critical of it even as it’s formed only by the gaping maw of capitalism? An interesting question

Fair, but what I meant is that getting it right isn’t really important like at all for film/game/food theory (at least the way I see it). It’s all just meant as entertainment. I mean he freely admits in his behind the scenes stuff that they come up with a take and then look through the media for evidence instead of legitimately taking something from it. He’s not trying to tell us what the media meant (even when that’s explicitly the thesis of the video) - he’s just trying to entertain and gets some cool science facts in there sometimes. Media criticism is like the play he’s putting on or whatever. It means he’s wrong way more than you, sure, but this is how he’s able to make like a billion videos super quickly.

Hmmmmm to be clear I don’t see myself as asking him to do what I do lol. More like, he gets a bunch of stuff wrong because he’s intentionally inattentive to the text. Hmmmmm

I enjoyed this video for sure but I think you’re gatekeeping media criticism a bit. So what matpat is using the media as a prop to support a controversial take that’ll get views? I don’t think anyone goes to a film theory video to get the type of criticism that you do, and it’s kind of unfair to compare his content to yours. Like your goals are clearly completely different.

daddy made us some content 🥲

"The Lorax is a triumph of neoliberal ideals" is certainly.......a take this dude had! "Buying air is bad, but selling air (and enforcing a monopoly of your air-selling business with lies & force)? That's good, actually." Incredible. Thank you for this video!

“vote with your dollar” being the interpretation of “if someone like you cares a whole awful lot” is so fucking funny. like theres brands i dont support and guess what, theyre still thriving. but sure lets say nothings getting better because i dont care enough.
