Brad Jones, The Cinema Snob

It would be called Change the Channel SatAM.

He’d have made a good antagonist in a children's show.

I think the same but for JewWario.

And how the fuck do you not remember which way you came from????

Yeah, that was stupid. Unless they intentionally turned the car around when they pulled over, the car would be facing the direction they were headed.

I saw it early tonight, so I might as well list some observations:

• The movie starts at a point one month in the future, but they obviously weren't on the road that long. Did the convention scenes occur a month after the movie screening?
• The "professional radio broadcaster" is using USB mics and cheap headphones. They couldn't even spring for some XLR mics or studio headphones, which anyone working in film should have laying around.
  • Or just have the guy be a podcaster, like Pat. These guys all have a circle-jerk so it would make sense.
• The fake YouTube site would have been better if they just used PornHub as a joke. I don't think PornHub would even care.
• In the convention scene B-roll, someone's wearing an Attack on Titan jacket in the lower left.
  • Later, there were three fat women there. I found it distracting. They should have been removed from the final cut.
• Tamara comes off as a decent actress, at least in comparison to Lupa.
  • Lupa is simply too smarmy and sarcastic when she's "acting".
  • I believe Lupa's gigantic ego drags her down and causes premature aging.
• That Brycycle was supposed to be racist against circus freaks.
  • But most circus performers are white and therefore have white privilege. He literally can't be racist against them.
• There's no reason offline GPS shouldn't work on those phones, unless they've run into an area that somehow interferes with satellite signals.
• Laura's rack must be larger than Lupa's. Brad must require a minimum cup size.
  • She can also do a Southern accent, which is better than any Lupa managed.
• During the dinner scenes, there's never a wide shot showing the table fully laid out with food.
  • I assume they only bought the one rack of ribs and handed it to whoever needed it.
  • Seriously, this makes no sense. They could've bought take-out from some restaurant, put it on their plates, then ate it after the scene was finished.
• I also don't understand why Brad automatically assumed cannibalism when he saw someone with their guts hanging out.
• Also no explanation of how they escaped the diner after Laura burst in.
• 1:02:00 "CGI-infested third act" might refer to To Boldly Flee.
• In the mental health facility, no one is wearing a straitjacket. It would've been funnier just to cut to Brad wearing one.
• The scene with Lloyd Kaufman was awkwardly shot.
  • I thought they weren't even in the same room. They could've used compositing and body doubles to make it look like the two were having a conversation.
  • But then Brad and Lloyd actually stand next to each other and touch, so I guess not? The scene was just shot incompetently.
  • There's still a chance they used a body double and put Brad's head on it, but I think the light/shadow effects prevent that.
  • Apparently there's a commentary track on the DVD. Maybe that could shed some light on this.

I've so far listened to the first 30 minutes of that livestream before the premiere:

• The first Snob movie had a budget of $16k. This one had $100k more than that.
  • I guess a lot of money come through the super chats from various live streams because the IndieGoGo only hit $67k.
• They talk as if Lionsgate would ever distribute one of their films.
• Had a bunch of cameos from Channel Awesome people, Double Toasted, and the Cinemasins guy.
  • So Lupa got BTFO.

For a movie with a $100k budget, this was horrible. The first one was understandable since it was only in the $10k range. But this one fails to show where the money went (straight into Brad's bank account).

As a counterexample, Ashens and the Quest for the Game Child got $73k from crowdfunding, but there was also an outside investor who contributed (so max maybe $150k). It's a much better movie because the filmmakers work within their limitations, yet have a good script. They got some non-suburban home locations. The filmmakers had probably at least a few industry connections to help them out.

Since Brad isn't part of the actual film industry, he had no help there. Ryan Mitchelle does work on Asylum projects, but they're not a major movie or TV studio. But even then, they could have shot somewhere else than suburban tract housing. It's a road trip movie that doesn't go anywhere interesting or exciting. They could also have afforded some special effects or pyrotechnics with their budget. They don't even use basic camera shots effectively.

Award-winning movies have been shot for $100k or less. And some of those were back when expensive film and editing equipment had to be used. With modern digital equipment, they have no excuse why they can't repeatedly try something until they get it right.

For some reason they chose to shoot this in autumn rather than summer, thus limited the amount of daylight they'd have to shoot outdoor scenes. Good job. It makes it difficult to do multiple takes on a very limited timeframe.

Damn, how many times did you have to rewind to watch this shit movie? I genuinely feel sorry for you. And yeah some of the money came from the livestreams while there was also the "extra expenses" indiegogo. And yeah he should of used a (fake?) Pornhub site because not only is that more fitting for both the video and the character but he could've used it for promotion for his uncut videos on PH so that people who don't use Twatter can find his videos on there.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

Could've used a scene where he's searching through pornhub for mature redhead videos.

[Kugelfisch]

Could've used a scene where he's searching through pornhub for mature redheads getting blacked videos.
