Brad Jones, The Cinema Snob

[Kama]

They probably still think he's based in some ways.

Brad's seemed kind of off to me for the last three or four years though. The fact that he'd make such a huge thing about how he bravely walked out of that Hillary's America documentary just so he could say "fuck you drumpf nazi's" really told me that he drunk the SJW koolaid the rest of them already drank at one point or another. Used to be Brad wouldn't have done that.

Were the kiwis pissed about the changethechannel situation? If so, how do they feel about Brad not giving a shit about the CA clowns covering up a pedophile rapist and continued to associate with them while everyone else but him and Larry left in disgust?

I'm willing to bet that they didn't really cared about ChangeTheChannel because LordKat told Looba to fuck herself (because he was pissed about her not giving a fuck back then when they un-personed him). Although they probably paid it a little lip service to please muhlady Truckerzgurl (and never mentioned her being #COMPLICT to all the Jew rape she was helping to hide behind those Wario hats).

Let's face it, it's really easy to be against Channel Awesome, because they do suck, both content-wise and corporate-wise. Although, TOBE FAIR, /ourbaldguy/ Mike "Name the Rapist Jew" Michaud did nothing wrong.

Mike Michaud is a good ol' boy who plays his Xbox and leaves his employees to die in the sun from heat stroke.

• Victim goes to CA about JW molesting her while she was passed out

• Victim doesn't want to go to the police or file charges = no proof of assault, nothing for court

• Victim is also afraid of repercussions from the Cat Girl Army and Yellow Hat Minions if she goes public with the assault

• CA takes her word, can't get a lawyer in time for the termination meeting with JW (refer to the "Our Response" document on the CA site, there's a screencap of a conversation between Rob and Mike when they address the accusations that they allowed a predator to run around for a year)

• They still want to be done with him, so CA kicks JW to the curb

• But CA also has no proof that JW did anything, so they have their hands tied (he could easily have accused them of slander if they'd said anything without verifiable proof and taken them to court... and would anyone have believed CA anyway?)

• JW eats a gun a year later, the world is a slightly better place

Used to be Brad wouldn't have done that.

He replaced his "everything sucks" cynicism, with "everyone sucks but me" egoism. Essentially, he started to believe in his own bullshit.

He began making movies--not as examples to be mocked or silly fun--but as parody/pastiches that he could say are a wink-wink inside joke if they fail. While he likes to spin it as no expectations, risk free (and a stepping stone if they actually succeed)--don't YOU dare make fun of it. You'll be accused of punching down the poor-widdle harmless "free" internet entertainer.

That's what he (and the others like him) are secretly afraid of, though. For someone else to come in, shit all over his movies, and laugh themselves rich off of views and patreons who support them.
You know, profiting off others' work.

I bought into the idea that Brad , at first, was just making his movies for art unlike Doge who just wanted to make shitty movies to sell merch. He was always into those schlock 80s films so I feel that was more his style than just a buffer to hide his shittiness. I don't really see that now though. Brad has the attitude that everything he makes is a masterpiece now, and you're right that he's completely full of himself.

I don't know. I think in the beginning Brad really was a guy who loved movies and wanted to make his own mark. I also think that in the beginning he never saw the cinema snob as a permanent thing as I'm sure he was hoping through connections and hard work he'd be able to get a foot into the industry. However, he didn't so maybe the depression of that crashed down on him and now he thinks he has to be no different than plebs like Doge now. After all it's the only way he can survive.

Brad is a tragic tale of someone with a dream and passion getting crushed by TGWTG's as well as his own stagnation. I'm pretty sure if Brad hadn't been stuck under Doge for so long he'd be out in LA right now snorting coke and trying to get in as a screenwriter.

If Brad was truly based, he would've ripped into the AVGN movie and the CA anniversary specials by now. As well as other fan-made piles of crap out there on the web.
Which was the whole original point of the Cinema Snob. To take a "serious" look at junk, like he's a Film School Professor grading their terrible class project.

Instead, he decides to just play it 'safe' and stick to schlock that was made by people decades ago, back before the Internet and After-Effects. Where you really had to guess at everything you did if you didn't go to film school or didn't consume everything like Tarantino.
Nowadays, garbage films are more worthy of shitting on, since there's no excuse--everything you need to know is more easier to find than ever.

[Osterzone]

I blame LordKat for that. #FreeBrad and all that talk about Brad being a poor victim of the Michaud and the like.

I'd say it goes further back to when Busy Street was around. Brad used to post there occasionally, and Jordan, the guy who ran Busy Street, said that despite all the stuff he didn't like about TGWTG, Brad was okay. Some other reviewers like Kallgren hated that Brad was given a pass from all the trolling and Busy Street was treated like some troll headquarters just because INs can't handle any negative feedback.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

They're just fanboying because Brad is their Spoony and helped them through Dark Times (tm).

That's what he (and the others like him) are secretly afraid of, though. For someone else to come in, shit all over his movies, and laugh themselves rich off of views and patreons who support them.

That's the ultimate hypocrisy for all of these nobodies. They'll paint themselves as the stalwart defenders of Fair Use, but get triggered whenever someone even dares to fair use their content for basically the same shit they do on a weekly basis. The Fair Use of my Fair Use is no Fair Use, it seems.

(Also doesn't help that they're "critics" who can't handle criticism at all.)
