That's what it's called right? When a character is a caricature of what they used to be.
The only spongebob I've seen is the first 3 seasons and I've seen the movie like twice I think.
I still return to those first three seasons because even as an adult, I think they hold up and are funny.
I've seen clips on Youtube of more modern spongebob and it seemed like garbage, but I haven't seen enough to see how bad it is.
Patrick in this game, and I assume it's representative of how more modern spongebob is written, in particular is completely flanderized.
He was always really dumb, but in a funny way.
Here he's straight up retarded and is just like a caricature of how he was in the first 3 seasons.
All the writing and characters feel off, but his stands out the most, and I skip all the dialogue so mostly I'm hearing the quips Spongebob and Patrick make as you play the game.
I don't think it's possible to cite a single movie as "the last classic Hollywood type movie" where its focus was entertainment and had movie magic feel to it, but I do think you could make a general list.
Some I'd throw out there for me are Mask of Zorro (1998), the Transporter (2002), the first two Harry Potter films.
What about you guy's. What's your personal list of movies that were sort of the last of that era where movies felt like movies and had something special to them?
Yes, Star Wars was saved from George's own retarded original vision, but people want to say Marcia Lucas literally heckin SAVED STAR WARS!!
I think because she's a woman, they want to say she saved it with her master editing skills.
She played a part in making Star Wars not suck, but people need to come back to reality for two main reasons.
- Hundreds of people helped save Star Wars from George Lucas. Actors who refused to say certain lines because they were too ridiculous (Mark Hamill has told that story many times)
The script went through many re-writes including Brian De Palma, because the original script was so terrible, and then all the nameless, faceless executives who were reigning in George Lucas for his own good. So again, Marcia played a part, but it's not even the most significant part, which brings me to point number two.
- Editors cannot make a bad movie good. A really good editor can make a movie the best it can be which Marcia certainly did, and a bad editor can screw up and diminish what could have been a masterpiece if they had a better editor, but you cannot make a bad movie good in editing.
It's like saying you can turn rotten moldy ingredients into a good cake if you use the right proportions.
Making my case for this is I went through a fan edit phase of watching fan-edits of movies. I never thought a fan edit made a bad movie good, including the prequels. At best, a good fan edit makes a movie suck slightly less.
You have to have something good to work with in order to make something good at the editing stage, which with the groundbreaking ILM effects, the actually well-written and well acted characters and a plot that people could jive with, Marcia Lucas had plenty to work with. A bad editor could have fumbled the ball and luckily she was a good editor.
She didn't save Star Wars, she was one of many who helped it not be the piece of crap it should have been with Lucas's bad instincts at the helm.
Like the original Star Wars trilogy, Indiana Jones, etc.
35mm is the standard for films. I wonder what all of the classic films would look like if 70mm was the standard.
I get its prohibitively expensive which is why it's rare for a film to do it.
It's just fun to imagine if 70mm was the standard used by basically every film.
I'm 32 btw, and I don't consider myself "old" like millennials often exaggerate....32 is still young, but time creeps along for all people and there is one thing that when I see it, it makes me have sort of an odd dread feeling.
People will post memes of like "this show is now X amount of years old...feel old yet?"
And that stuff never does. But the one thing that makes me go "that can't be right....that must be a glitch...it can't be that old" is those rare times I come across a Youtube video that was uploaded near the beginning, like a video from 2007 or something and the video will say "uploaded 15 years ago, or 16 years ago"
That one hits me in the gut every time. I remember in middle school Youtube being a new thing and it doesn't feel like the type of thing that is half my lifetime ago..It feels such a modern, part of this crap society that when I stumble across videos that were 16 years ago....I don't know...it gives me a similar feeling like when you watch a black mirror episode...there's something dystopian feeling about it.
"oh my gosh, this is like the most wholesome thing ever"
"Wow, this is literally so wholesome"
It is such a feminine, faggy word, particularly in how it's used.
Don't have much more to say than that....It's a word that over the past 4 or so years has gotten more and more frequent and I feel like I've become 1% gayer every time I see it....which means I'm up to 672% gay now I think.
I've seen Meat Canyon and every once in a while I'll give in to morbid curiosity and hate watch some of his videos.
His videos are disturbing and intentionally disgusting, but on top of that, and this is the thing I don't see anyone ever talking about with him, is you can tell he is about as far left as possible. You can always tell how he'll portray a person or situation based on his leftism. When it's the Johnny Depp trial vs Amber Heard, Amber Heard is portrayed as a victim and all the people wanting Amber Heard to be brought to justice as a raging celebrity obsessed mob that just wants to attack a woman because they love pirates of the carribean.
In one video about that fat streamer who would rage at peoples insults, the video is about how the fat streamer is so fat that he creates a black hole that sucks the entire world into it. On it's own, no problem, but the problem comes when you look at his video about Nikado Avocado. Now that guy is 10X cringier than that aforementioned streamer, so you'd expect that he'd really mock his fatness right?
No, it's the rare "sympathetic" video, where the cartoon makes a point to show him caressing the picture of his "boyfriend" and how he's trapped in this mukbang prison where there's no escape and he wants to get out, but everything turns to a grey mushy food paste. Again, because Nickado is gay, he portrays him as a more sympathetic character.
He has the usual targets; "Karen's", people who are pro patriotism, pro masculinity, etc.
There's also some severely blasphemous stuff, like where a guy goes to Pawn stars with a live Jesus suffering on the cross and the Pawn stars people proceed to "test if it's the real Jesus by putting a spear in his side while He's still alive" for example.
Basically if you look at Meat Canyons videos with that eye in terms of who the subject is and how they're portrayed, you will notice pretty quickly that he is totally against all that is good and decent. Yes he makes horror that's meant to gross out and that is in every video, but you can see his agenda at full display in the way that he does it.
Same with the TikTok banning video where the TikTok founder is just a confused innocent Chinese man where all the congressional Americans are gross witch-hunters who are jealous that their own weird videos aren't viral.
Get a good comedian who's conservative like Nick Dipaolo to write a parody of their interview and keep him on for all future things Kamala and Walz does. Make it an actually funny version of modern SNL.
For those who don't know, Nick Dipaolo is the guy who writes a good chunk of Greg Guttfield's jokes. He's what Bill Burr would be if Bill Burr wasn't a self hating white guilt liberal.
I don't watch the Olympics or sports in general, just from the memes of me learning stuff like the breakdancing girl, the guy shooting with no protection, which was cool, don't get me wrong, the guy beating up the woman in boxing, the Dutch pedophile, the drag queen mockery of the Last Supper. It's almost like a culmination point of so many woke religion ideologies manifesting in their absurd clown world ways.
As a Christian who believes there's the Spiritual warfare that's always happening as it says in Ephesians, I'm inclined to believe this was intentional, whether many of the participants know it or not.
As an example, the High priest Caiaphas unknowingly prophecised something spiritual when he said better for one man to die for the sake of the nation than for the people to perish, when in his mind he thought he was saying something pragmatic.
Likewise I feel like the Olympics with how absurd they are in so many ways, is like a demonic ritual where many of those participating are believing they're just being "progressive" and "woke" unaware of the spiritual (evil spiritual in this case) role that they're playing.
If you're like me, you lack the self control to not occasionally click on a Youtube short despite them always being just lowest denominator junk. Or if it's twitter sometimes they'll be TikToks. One thing I noticed is all or almost all of them have text saying what the person said, but also that they will have a blatant error of the text not matching what the person said. Not just a minor spelling error, but a completely different word.
For instance this one https://www.youtube.com/shorts/g4tVsh1auDY
where the guy says "they should be under the jail" and the text says "out of the jail". I noticed they all do this. I first chocked it up to an illiterate and uneducated generation, but then I realized the tactic.
If the Youtube short has 2000 comments, I bet you like 300 of those comments are correcting that word "mistake". So that's 300 free comments to boost engagement.
These are the types of tactics that I don't know how these "content creators" sleep at night. It's so dishonest. Dishonest money can't be satisfying. I'm far on the personality type where doing anything dishonest or snake-oily is like a thing that makes me feel sick. I have plenty of faults, but lack of integrity or dishonesty isn't really one of them. I'm probably more rigid than even the average person in this area, so it's something that especially gets under my skin.
I don't know if you remember that famous story that went around when Hugh Laurie supposedly auditioned for House and the director or casting director goes "we need a good all-American actor" and Hugh Laurie did the voice he did on House and the director was like "finally, an all American actor".
I'm calling it that that story is bullcrap.
- He does what all British actors do when they try to do an American accent....they sort of mumble talk. See Idris Elba in the Wire for example.
That's all Hugh Laurie did throughout that show, is talk in this voice that doesn't project or speak boldly, but do this low sort of grumble voice. It's like a person who can't hit certain notes in singing so sort of half does it at those parts of the song.
-
No one talks like the director or casting director in that story. "Finally, an all American midwestern type actor"
-
No one was aware of Hugh Laurie? I know he wasn't a star or well known over here, but these were Hollywood people and not one person on the set goes "hey, that's a guy who was co-star in a fairly popular British TV show and someone who appeared in other popular British TV shows.
You're telling me no one at all knew who he was or was a watcher of British TV...in Hollywood?!? I could understand if this was some random small town, but this was a Hollywood production. I've worked at regular jobs where Americans are really into British TV shows and culture, much less Hollywood.
Anyways, I have just wanted to get that off my chest. That's one of those things that makes for a good story, but seems like such bullcrap on any analysis. It's like those "and then everyone clapped" stories.
