James Rolfe said:The Indiana Jones movies are all entitled to some dumb moments. They recapture the spirit of the old adventure films that came out in the Great Depression and World War II. Audiences were looking to escape the real world and forget about their troubles. And that's what movies are all about: entertainment. But today audiences are far more critical, have less imagination, and aren't as willing to suspend their disbelief. And <B>that</B> is the death of cinema.
Attila the Professor said:I'm actually impressed by this, mostly on the basis of my low expectations (I actually considered posting a dismissive comment without watching the video, which I never do.) Has the Angry Nerd mellowed over time? Because while his profane blowhard schtick grated the minute it started, this video was actually quite even-handed.
And, ah, geez, I still love Mac.
And it's funny, what he says at the end almost seems like a rebuke of his own earlier stuff, or at least betrays a level of self-awareness.
Oh, and title edited for clarity's sake. There's a lot of Indy on Youtube.
ResidentAlien said:He didn't "just" release this. This came out a year ago. Don't look to Youtube for your James Rolfe needs-- he has contracts with GameTrailers and SpikeTV-- he gets to post videos on his Youtube only after they've been on those other sites for a year.
Peru1936 said:I wasn't aware that this was released prior, though I am aware that he consistently re-posts old videos. You're not entirely correct about his releases, though. He may have contracts that restrict his releasing of videos, but several of his film reviews, like his marathon reviews of horror films and the sort, are released independently and are uploaded on Youtube when he sees fit.
Peru1936 said:Well, AVGN is not a schtick, it's a character that Rolf created and plays. This video is part of his Cinemassacre line of webisodes.
Peru1936 said:*The title edit is fine, though I had the intention of making this an "Indy Youtube" thread where all manner of Indy-related online videos could be shared - my mistake for not clarifying in the original post.
Attila the Professor said:It's still a schtick. I get that it's a series, and I get that it's attention getting - but that doesn't stop me from finding it grating and idiotic. Good for him and his creativity?
Attila the Professor said:We've already got one of those. So, good idea, but searching would have been a better one.
