58:20 blue bros 2k isn’t “good” but the music makes up for it

Without the Blues Brothers, there may not have been a Wayne's World. Which mean Mike Myers wouldn't have gotten Austin Powers and Shrek. Without Shrek, DreamWorks may have not kept making movies. Means the entire landscape of 3d animated films would be completely different. Also I swear that GTA got thier wanted system from this movie.

I know there's a universe where National Lampoon did a tv show and SNL never existed. National Lampoon definitely dropped the ball in this universe.

My Prince 👑

Just watched Empire Records which i loved and it reminded me of Dazed and Confused. Looked for comporable movies and that brought me to this video. Think it definitly deserves an honorable mention as well.

JD and Dr Cox in Scrubs and Peralta and Holt in Brooklyn 99 are such brilliant mentor relationships. You can track them growing together and bettering each other over the show and it gives such a brilliant emotional core to the show, more than any of the romances do

“I want to be like you, but a more successful you” is a line that really resonated with me

omg, you guys missed all parts of this movie, the musicians and actors who were in this movie which made it an icon.. It feels like you did not watch the film and just watched the clips. Yes, you were too young when this movie came out but you are missing so much and the icons the references of the time. Hard to watch you review this icon of a movie

I subbed thank you , dazed is my favorite movie ever

Dude this video is so good, I thought it had a couple hundred thousand views and was shocked to see there’s only 1.4K rn…. Just subscribed! :)

Currently watching and just wanted to comment on the Nazi thing. While it might seem antiquated, the Illinois Nazis were a real thing and their right to march went to the Supreme Court in 1977/78. In that light, it feels more of the time rather than some throw back to have some generic bad guys.

Im nearly 50 and i have seen enough decades to realise that people are more ornless the same, just with cultural differences - but the basics are kind of the same. Values are changing - and much like throughout history, some things improve, while other things get worse. What the 80's did have, was a great understanding of cinema and stories. Music was fantastic, fashion was frightful lol. There is a trade-off between progress and loss. I will say that the current era is a low point in culture, society and progress - but the generation of children now in school will change things. Im hopeful for the future, things always go round in roundabouts.

Hey everyone! I hope you enjoyed this episode of Glaring Admissions! As always, be sure to leave your thoughts/memories of The Blues Brothers in the comments. On top of that, feel free to consider supporting the channel via a channel membership or by subscribing to my patreon!

A lot of good takes here, but also I'll say the "go to therapy" mantra really needs more perspective. What a lot of people are missing is loving welcoming community. Therapy can help, but that's also not directly meeting that need. The alienation in our culture requires a radical shift and while Tyler went about it in a toxic way, he did create community. We simply need healing nurturing space to balance out the often quite understandable anger at terrible treatment. Essentializing that also helps no one. Men need empathy, women need anger. We all need to have the whole range of feelings, and we all need each other

And Su Tissue from Suburban Lawns band is in it. A couple of other great movies are Being There and Midnight Run.

I don't love you since you ate my dog

The part that frustrates me, and worries me, is I have little... hope... or trust in studios preserving things. You look at the backlot fires at Universal which destroyed their vault from the 1920's to the early 00's and how LONG it took us to get Jurassic Park on Blu Ray (we got Short Circuit before we got JP) and how things just get destroyed or lost. While I love we're at a place now where things are getting digitized and cleaned and perfected, the fear is that--like a re-edit of a film--the originals will be lost for the 'newer' or 'updated' version. And that all that remains will be this lesser master. I study film music and it is very much this constant fear that a studio comes out with an expanded score, but not everything... what happens if the masters get destroyed or degraded before they can fully expand it? Or masters get lost--which happens FAR too often. Or even now with certain digitally recorded scores where the programs they were recorded on simply don't function anymore. The John Williams sessions to War of the Worlds were stuck on a version of protools that protools ITSELF had to create a patch so they could access it. All these films being digitized and preserved are now on various new and cool programs that, given 10-15-20 years may not even be compatible with the systems of the day and be stuck... forever the way they are now.

This one has become my favorite reading of these amazing movies. Excellent job!

People don't change. Their desires don't change. The environment around them changes. Comfort level changes. Sometimes better, sometimes not.

Easy disproval of a general notion. NOT all nostalgia is a lie. Example 1. Starwars 1977 - great 2. Starwars Acolyte - steaming pile of you know what Some things were better, some things arent. Movies are definitely one of the thungs that seemed tombe better if at least original in their own way.

the people saying the 80s were actually the best clearly didn't actually watch the video. here's the truth guys: the present is always the best time to be alive. I promise you

I'm honestly surprised that Predator didn't get a mention. This movie is notorious for its look due to shooting conditions and film stock, with at least 1 notably out of focus shot that made it in the cut because that's how it was shot. But the color and quality have varied wildly over the years and even worse in the digital, HD era. There is a notably sought-after bluray where there is so film gain because all the later releases have added color timing and grain removal, to a degree like you mentioned with some of the others in the video... everything looks artificial, vasceline coated, and smooth

Between forced political divisiveness, lack of creativity (from both me and others), and the overall art form being more or less dated, the fight over presentation of movies is something that has kept me away from my dreams of wanting to direct movies. This video amplifies the issues properly, and has made me realize that living a normal life with a normal job is better.

Awesome video! Sing Street is one of my all-time favourites. I saw it shortly after it came out when I was about 15 or 16 years old and it was one of those films I just watched at the perfect age. Just hit me exactly where I needed it to at the exact right time in my life and it’s not lost any of its impact no matter how many times I see it. Funny you mention about it being elusive in streaming, here in the U.K. I think it found it’s life on Netflix, it went on there not too long after it released and it was how I first saw it in late 2016/early 2017. Nice to see someone giving it a lot of love!

Bottom line, people are nostalgic for the time they grew up in. In the early '70's you had "The Walton's" set in the '30's. In the late '70's and '80's you had "Happy Days" etc. set in the '50's. In the '90;s you had "The Wonder Years" set in the '60's, In the early '00's you had "That '70s Show".

It is not Diane Selwyn's dream. The person who is dreaming is Camilla Rhodes. It is Camilla who commits the murder of the young blonde actress who Camilla believes stole her part in the film, and stole her director boyfriend. The person who is dreaming speaks Spanish, and listens intently to an Hispanic singer. In the dream, Diane represents the young blonde girl who is murdered. It is Diane Selwyn who disappears in the scene where Camilla falls into the blue box. Camilla Rhodes perfectly represents the Hollywood ideal of the murderous femme fatale. We even see Camilla decomposing on the bed.

My drama teacher (in 2005ish) said to us, "People think that in the '50s it was just like _Happy Days._ Really, it was the same as it is now, only more boring."

It seems so crazy that in 1985 they thought that in 30 years cars would be flying.

'71 GEN X-er here... yeah, we had problems in the '80's, but I still look back with longing...We had the best Music, TV shows, Video Games and Pop Culture in general. We weren't naive by any means, but there was an underlying Innocence that pervaded that decade all the same. This began to erode during the '90's, but it was nowhere near as bad as it is today. It is that Innocence, Joy, and Fun that I miss. Yes, things weren't perfect in the '80's but the scales were more balanced then. Like most of my fellow GEN X-ers, I am homesick for a decade the likes of which will never happen again...😎

America has never really been great for everybody.

Never seen Dazed and Confused, but DID see American Graffiti a few years ago and, know what? I liked it a lot. Really like comedies that pivot into drama or melancholy. Feels like it hits stronger if you've been disarmed with laughter for a while. Makes me wonder what other kinds of movies we missed out on from Lucas had Star Wars not become the monolith it did. Same feeling with THX.

Almost Famous could be an honorable mention as well.

Ocean's 12 is a nice pick

America is " Buggled"

Yes, Dazed and Confused is essentially an updated version of American Graffiti, just with the characters facing the issues growing up in 1976, as opposed to 1962. It's interesting how those in '62 had a much simpler life, before the death of Kennedy, Vietnam and Watergate. Dazed and Confused follows the characters as they try to make sense of a society post all of these events. And yet it's also interesting how the characters have many of the same lusts, desires and general conversations in both films. They are so similar, and yet so different. I really hope we can have one set in the Reagan-era 80s and nostalgic 90s.

i love yo la tengo too!!

alright alright alright

Theres a good article on Jacobin about the nostalgia of the 80s😂

Hey everyone! I hope you enjoyed the slight change of pace with this upload. I’ll be back to making the usual stuff soon, with my next video being a podcast episode about The Blues Brothers and the next video after that being a video essay about Wes Anderson’s The Darjeeling Limited.

I will say this, Jaws was an entirely different experience on the big screen compared to home media, no matter how big the TV.

You know, I made a time machine car commercial featuring the DeLorean.

1990 is nostalgic now vatp

😅

Nostalgia is not a bad thing when taken in moderation.

Glad i found this channel, good stuff. Subbed

Thank goodness, finally someone telling it like it is about Nostalga.

bttf 2.

I think this is a valid interpretation, and I suspect it was an aspect of the righting. Someone once pointed out to me that each of the 3 films focuses on one character and their relationship to time travel. 1 was about Marty, 2 was about Biff and 3 was about Doc Brown.

What is the name of the song playing thru this clip?
