As a Christian, I absolutely love how even non-Christians are getting absolutely sick and tired to death of the tired old "edgy" jokes thrown at the Christians or the Catholic Church. If Mindy even cared to be actually edgy, she would make fun of Islam and the LGBT cult as well, but nope. She is one of those unfunny cowards.
Or maybe make fun of whatever Hindu beliefs she or her folks have. Or maybe poke fun at her culture's caste system. But she won't. She doesn't want to be ostracized by her community. I bet she and Lily Singh belong to their society's upper castes and that may explain their delusional and arrogant attitudes.
I have a real fondness for Catholicism. I grew up where Evangelicals and other Protestants abound, and they treated us like dirt (largely due to the "prosperity gospel" stuff, I imagine) - but the sole Catholic church welcomed a lonely, weird, already-clearly-atheist kid and his worn, sad, also-lonely mom.
(didn't even demand conversion or anything, though my mom - decades later - eventually did)
_edit:_ also there's the historical and theological flexin it can do 👌
what I (as a non-american) despise really is that it's always the same tired jokes about the Catholic Church, and Only about them. I'd remind all the USA is a protestant country, Catholics have been a minority since the beginning, so yes it's really like if they thrashtalked another nation's culture, like Hindus making fun of Thai Buddhists. It's chauvinist.
Wonder why we don't get jokes about all the miniscule useless protestant churches in the US or the Anglican Church cuz they supposedly hate the English too.
PS I'm atheist
Non-Christian here. I am also tired of the Church excoriation in movies. That's such an easy target.
Yeah. Saying anything good about traditional Christianity would show guts. She is in the pack of cowards who attack Christianity because it's safe. They also defend Islam in spite of gay sex being the death penalty in most Islamic countries and the slaughter of over 60,000 west African Christians by an Islamist group since the turn of the century.

I had to pretend I enjoyed "Call Me By Your Name" in my film classes, so I didnt get ostracized by my Gay film professor. Good times.

@@DespotofAntrim Is it worse than Brokeback Mountain? I saw that movie in theaters and COULD NOT get what all the hype was about. That movie was so boring and just glossed over how gay men use women just to pretend to be straight while having their gay love affair as if because it was 'taboo' that made it all ok.

Imagine a movie like Lolita but wait for it... it's two gay men! Genius!
And it's not even a new idea. Death in Venice was written more than a century before it.
In honesty, a story about a pederastic relationship focusing on the emotional fallout the younger man experiences from the older man's advances, particularly as he ages, could be quite interesting.
Considering how tragically common that is (in fact, studies from decades gone by would evidence that the majority of gay men are inducted of sorts by inappropriate advances made upon them as boys by much older men, turning the whole thing into a vicious cycle of ab-se), it would be a far more reasonable and grounded movie to make. But no, we’ve got to have creepy stuff against a boy as committed against him by a much older man, but because it’s gay, it’s good!
Imagine feeding Red Meat to lions...and them liking it! Genius!
Not only genius but beautiful and visionary 😂

CORRECTION: Twinking Elio
As a gay, I’ve commented in class that the deep issue with gay cinema is the overindulgence in identity and sexual awakening over substantive plot. Call Me By Your Name is just the tip of the cock shaped iceberg my friend.
Agree
Call Me By Your Name was a humiliation ritual for Timothy whathisface. You don't give fame, fortune and influence to just anyone. You need to know they are debased and will toe the line.
and now he’s tied to the kardashian soul suckers
Or, you know, he wasn't acting.
Yeah. It’s something a friend of mine pointed out to me that I haven’t been able to unsee:
There’s a disturbing pattern of early movies in a top-level actors’ careers where they have to dress in drag or otherwise debase themselves before getting bigger roles.
Anybody remember that classic Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson movie Tooth Fairy?
@@jackdaone6469similar to female actresses getting naked in movies before they become famous, the acting all feminist and against objectification of women a decade later (aka Margot Robbie).
Sounds like you talking bullshit
I can't wait to hear how the Exorcist franchise continues its fall into the bowels of hell. I'm not a huge horror fan, but there was a line I adore from the original.
Father Damien Karras: "Why her? Why this girl?"
Father Merrin: "I think the point is to make us despair. To see ourselves as... animal and ugly. To make us reject the possibility that God could love us."
Almost like how modern media treats its viewers.
Super duper recommend the audio book for the Exorcist read by the author William Peter Blatty.
@Hexensohn the book is great.
Velma turned Thorn from the Hex Girls into a burnt out Heroin Addict fresh out of rehab....it's impressive they invent new reasons to hate the show.
To be fair, she does look like an aging rocker
@@Hexensohn Except she's supposed to be around the same age, if not younger than Mystery Inc. So her looking like an aging rocker doesn't make sense.
@@thefanwithoutaface8105 eh I've only watched people making fun of the show, not the show itself. For some reason, I thought she was one of the other character's mother.
That's because it's just ragebait. They KNOW people will hate it.
Velma is proven certifiably heterosexual (AKA normal and healthy) because of Thorne.
That patriarchy line in the awful Exorcist: Believer film just shows how tone-deaf those hacks really are. Character assassinated Chris, Father Merrin and Father Karras. Also, what happens to Chris later, is why you weren't allowed to enter the room in the first place.
Haven't seen the OG (not sure if I can handle it 😬), but didn't one priest die?? Or nearly die?? And she's whining about the two men who saved her daughter because she couldn't be in the room while they did something incredibly dangerous and possibly fatal??

At least femanids are admitting they're on team Satan.
"Many crimes remain a mystery forever" is a sentence highly applicable to Velma. It's a perfect response to how it was greenlit, why Mindy was chosen to make a show, why the comedy is so shit, how funding gets secured for such abominable pieces of cinematic garbage, how these people thought that Scooby Doo was the most appropriate old IP to bastardize- it answers them all.
My theory is Hollywood is now a giant laundry for the Cartels. They couldn't care less if they make money or not. The laundry is the thing.

Absolutely, Call me by your name is an atrocious excuse of a softcore porno advertised as a movie.
No plot, no development, no goal, no message nothing... Just smutt with gorgeous scenography (even if honestly it's quite hard to give a bad light to an unaltered small village from the coast of Italy too...) yes... But nothing else.
Why don't we have movies ABOUT actual queer themes, issues and self awareness like Mysterious Skin and Brokeback Mountain anymore...?
Those movies are DEVASTATING and have a muuuuultitude of themes and viewpoints on every single detail.
What happened to cinema in general, what happened to passion?
Why's everything now about a concrete political statement without the possibility of different standpoints and views on that subject?
Why's everything now either black or white instead of an infinite amount of shades of grey just like real life?
The end is coming...
I didn't watch the movie, and I know I probably won't, but from what I gathered in this video, it seems like this film actually offers a fairly realistic and candid portrayal of how psychologically damaging it can be for a young man to have his first homosexual experiences with an older man. Just because you willingly consent to the sex doesn't mean it can't scar you. A lot of young men get pressured into experimenting these days and a lot of older gay men take advantage of the young men that are down on their luck, perhaps addicted to drugs, perhaps not in the best state of mind for making decisions, and needing a place to stay. Happens all the time. Some addict might be "gay for pay", and though he consents to the sex, it still psychologically scars him horribly. Gay sex isn't all sunshine and roses, quite the opposite really, there is always an element of sexual pathology involved.
Frankly, I see most gay sex in terms of people that have been sexually abused by someone of the same sex reenacting the abuse on their own terms so as to reassert their self-deceptive belief that they wanted to be molested or taken advantage of as a drunk teenager or whatever. I have never found the argument that people are born gay in the least bit convincing, at least not for most gay people, like maybe a handful really had no formative experiences to lead them down that path but it is hard to say. People are born without any sexuality, and while our genes may nudge us in some direction, I think that main determining factor is upbringing and one's experiences, not just in childhood but right up through adulthood. People can decide to start experimenting at any time, and I believe the current Zeitgeist has promoted more homosexuality than ever before, getting people who never would have done anything like that to try it. I think sexuality is pretty malleable. It's funny, they say sex is on
spectrum and your gender can change but sexual orientation is set in stone, while I see it the other way around, viewing sex as set in stone, disregarding the dubious concept of "gender", and considering the idea that people have lifelong "sexual orientations" that cannot change to be silly. And when it comes to men having anal sex, there is always the element of masochism involved, since the rectum of the "bottom" gets torn up. It does lead to a much higher likelihood of spreading STDs than heterosexual intercourse.
I don't particularly care what adults do in their bedrooms, but I won't go with the flow and pretend I think the homosexual lifestyle is healthy just because people will call me a homophobe if I don't. If considering the DSM I through III to be correct about homosexuality being a sexual paraphilia or pathology makes me a homophobe, then so be it. Its removal from the DSM had nothing to do with science or psychiatry and everything to do with politics and social engineering.
I freaking cried at the end of Brokeback Mountain.
There are still many good pieces of cinema coming out. They are just relegated to small time film festivals most of the time and the odd meaningful movie from Hollywood such as Kingdom of the planet of the apes. You guys need to watch more Asian cinema and just disregard shitty Hollywood bullshit until the studios finally realize how to make shit the audiences like again.
@@titanomachy2217 You’re Right with the mental aspect. Majority of gays have been taken advantage of in their formative years but then you say that s*xual orientation isn’t inherent? That doesn’t follow
I haven't seen _Call Me By Your Name_ but I suspect it wasn't a patch on _Moonlight._ (I actually cheered when _Moonlight_ beat _LA LA Land_ and its desperate gimme-an-Oscar antics.)
[Speaking of movies with gay characters that I didn't even particularly want to watch but turned out to actually be good, thank you for the shout-out for _Mysterious Skin._ I am hardly a Gregg Araki fan, but _Mysterious Skin_ was amazing - truly a criminally underappreciated movie.]
You’re actually wrong about Hollywood & the reverse picture if the young guy had been a girl… there was a movie early in Carrie Mulligan’s career where she played a teenager who gets into a relationship with an older man, and at the end of the movie the older man turns out to be married and vanishes. Hollywood loved that movie and ate it up too. They love anything where minors are sexualized. (Cuties or the movie 13 for instance)
Despot, thank you for not doing paid sponsorship. You're one of the few youtubers with some kind of honour. Respect for being a bro who speaks out without expecting things.
It's hard to be a CZcamsr without some income so you don't have to work a job as well. I don't see how taking a sponsor is "dishonorable" inherently. People who can't get monetized need to do something if they don't have the volume of people donating to them. You have to pay the bills.
@@justforever96Except youtube is a platform where you upload videos for free, no one asks these youtubers to be youtubers. Some of these sponsors like better help or that other one where you become a lord and own some land end up being scams or have some controversy because a lot of these CZcamsrs don't do they're research or don't care about the product they're promoting. Also do you really think if i see a raid shadow legends ad for the billionth time I'll suddenly change my mind and be like yeah this is for me?
Not to be mean but I've never fallen for any CZcams sponsorship like ever, so to me it's a waste of time. That and I have to deal with ads every 2 minutes in 90 percent of videos? No thanks, I'd rather donate to a patreon or become a member (which despot did tell us about in this video, and I likely will since I like him and his content when I'm not broke af lol). Some of these channels will sell merch, have sponsorships, have patreon and also ask you to be a member while also having ads and being monetized. Sometimes its a bit much and can piss people off. Like bro I just want to enjoy a 15 minute video after a long day working a normal job without being bombarded by this shit. I think that's completely fair.
Hear hear! There’s nothing stranger to my ears than some doomtuber like Moon interrupting a monologue of how movie x warned about the dystopian hyper consumerist state we live in with an ad for goddamn Raycon earbuds.
@@wozronnonymous1062 Your whole statement is so on point I feel like you peered into my brain lol that's what he is apparently. A doomtuber with clickbait like 95% of the shit on this platform. You can see the huge shift when covid first hit. They knew more people would be plugged into social media, binging shows/movies and online. Seems like everything jumped up 200% making YT more of a bummer to be on due to being interrupted for stupid ads and then on top of that the creator throws in their sponsor like dude just let me watch this thing. It makes a 15 minute video turn into 20 minutes. Like watching Seinfeld on tv. The episodes are around 20 minutes and then 5 minutes or so of commercials. Why do these people or YT or both not see we're on here because we're trying to avoid that exact piece of shit.
I never bothered to watch 'Call Me by Your Name". I'm gay, and gay movies are just terrible. It is incredibly rare to see a movie about gay people that is watchable, let alone good.
As a fellow gay man, I fully agree. We are always depicted as utter sexual deviants, I mean for goodness sake they treat us like those gay stereotype's given to us way back when. I mean even the fact that the main character is so fixated on sex that he masturbates into a fuckin Peach.
(It's so comically bad!)
Probably because you just happen to be gay, you didn't make it your whole identity and existence. No one cares, it's not a big deal. There were openly gay people in the Victorian days, they were known and recognized. Society generally condemned it, but they accepted it was a thing. They had whole streets of gay people and clubs. Now we act like it this whole new amazing thing and we only just stopped burning gays at the stake a few years ago. One of the most interesting Civil War memoirs I have read was excerpted in a book about Vermont soldiers in the Civil War . One of the guys he had the most passages from came from the small town I grew up in. From the way he talked in his diary or was very clear that he was gay and had a lover named Zenas, another young man. The boss at the factory he worked at came to him and asked him to tone it down a bit because some of the other workers didn't like it. His mom was unhappy. But he wasn't fired, he wasn't arrested. He served with honor in a Vt Regiment in the Old Brigade through most of the biggest battles of the war. That was 1860 in rural New England.

Even before then- I watched a doco, years ago- 'Queer as 18th Century Folk'- it was interesting & eye-opening, from a historical perspective- & my being straight didn't impact how I viewed it; it was an unconventional documentary, told rather well.
Charting the journey of the time, from semi-visibility & near-acceptance - to feared/ despised, publicly- & an otherwise underground subculture, made it an interesting & occasionally challenging watch.
There *are* ways to make unconventional topics interesting & engaging -- *_THE MESSAGE_* -style is not it...
Do you wear diapers?
If you want some very good gay movie, Philadelphia is basically very good one. Its how AIDS slowly kills a man, but his death isnt just dying, everyone he knew started do distance themselves from him. What makes it gay is the fact that Tom Hanks' character is a gay lawyer, who got AIDS from his partner, if i remember it correctly
During a film class in college we had to watch and analyze "Call me by your name" and during small group discussions the girl that I was working with just stopped mid sentence looked an me and asked are you also grossed out by how this film romanticizes the sexual relationship of a 16 year old boy and a 40 something old man?
The movies just so fucked up with that, it literally has a scene were the old man starts rubbing the kids shoulders like a creepy uncle.
Also very glad that you didn't mention how the peach that the boy uses is still eaten in the end.
Everyone else in any other job where you performed horribly:
You did a shitty job you're fired.
Hollywood: Hell yeah let's do another season
I think you may be right. If they remade "Twinking Elio" but between and older man and a teenage girl, not only would it get savaged by critics on an esthetic and writing level, but the director and writer would be _Hashtag Canceled_ for promoting MAPs and SA against young women.
But then again, if they remade "Twinking Elio" but with Twink being manipulated by an older man into becoming a femboi, "transitioning" him into a "woman", then the film would definitely win Best Picture award.
Is that "predatory gaze" or "predatory gays"?
Ahh. Beat me to it.😂

Call Me By Your Name is proof of the phrase, "male gaze, bad, male gays, good."
The funniest thing about the "streaming vs. physical" debate is, despite the spin, streaming has been a disaster for the entertainment industry. Most of them bet big on becoming the "next Netflix", not realizing Netflix isn't even the next Netflix.
The subscriber model only works if the subscriber numbers keep growing, but the very Balkanization of content they're engaging in means people hop from service to service, watching what they want and then cancelling, while the streaming services have already spent buttloads on new content that most people aren't interested in, hurtling them all towards the cash-flow crunch of the millennia.
This is also why the ESG/DEI crap has accelerated, as the "free money era" is well and truly over, and the scumfucks at Black Rock, Vanguard, et al., now have all the leverage over the corporate scumfucks and use it happily to push The Message as hard and and fast as possible.
As a gay man I must thank you for calling out this pretentious boring piece of girl fantasy that is Call me by your name. God, me and my boyfriend bore ourselves to death watching these empty shells doing nothing for 2 hours.
Thank you for reflecting on how rotten, selfish and corrupted are the protagonists, and how empty is this 2 hours of fake artistic posing.
I think the only LGB film worth mentioning is Pride (2014)
I wouldn't go that far, under my skins a good gay film
I like Stonewall (1995)
Brokeback Mountain was far better, great story and very well acted, great cinematography and music, a lot of pathos to the film.
CMBYN was pretentious guff masquerading as a Gay film when it was just vehicle for girl boy twonk Timmy Shallowmay.. and the other fella with the porn name who ironically got cancelled for sending filth
@@marcusmaher-triskellionfil5158 For me Brokeback Mountain was equally boring and unrelatable. Maybe because every single gay film I have seen before that had the same grieving, over dramatized plot where they portray gayness as something very important and dramatic. It's objectively better in every single aspect than CMBYN, but let's be honest, that's not a high bar.
I get it, being gay was a struggle 40-50 years ago, but this is the 21th century! Come on! I'm 40 years old, from an Eastern European country and never had an issue with it in my life.
The reason I like Pride (2014) because it doesn't handle sexuality as a defining factor in human existence. It very well focuses on higher human values such as solidarity, and compassion, with loveable characters.
Why do characters have to be depressed miserable, boring in every single LGB film?
Want to see a good movie about gay guy? Philadelphia
Want to see a show with gay men? Spartacus: Blood and Sand(OR as i like to call it: "SPARTACUS: CUM AND ASS")
I appreciate your honest analysis of Twinking Elio. A friend of mine is a survivor of both grooming and clergy abuse and had a similar reaction to the film. He wrote up an analysis similar to yours when it first came out, I can share the link to it if you'd like.

Cheap chance to use a C.J. quote aside, I'd also be willing to see Despot's review of those two games.
Velma and Rebel Moon part 2 are the worst things so far.
For me, ,,Call Me by Your Name'' is the story of a boy who plays with emotions, first with a girl, and then with an older man. They were both experiments for him. I was also amused by how this child's family pretended to be seemingly leftist and lived like kings at the expense of the people who came and were represented by their guest.

Velma's second season was produced together with the first, it was already done by the time the first season bombed. Believe it or not, animated shows are more expensive than live action and making multiple seasons together saves a lot of money. This is also what happened with Bluey cartoons, they were done back to back and finished production in 2021.
interesting.. make sense actually... i couldn't believe THIS got a second season and cowboy bebop live remake didn't ... (sorry I actually liked the remake [a bit] more as i was desperate for anything cowboy bebop and not so much that it was well done... I am that kind of fan I guess...lol)
@@albertbresca8904understandable lmao, it’s possible to simultaneously enjoy something but accept that it is flawed
@@DirectorDelta thanks....
yeh the cowboy bebop remake received terrible reviews, but i held off watching those til after i viewed the series so i woudln't be already judging...lol
i was very glad it wasn't an exact copy but every episode had references to the anime that i felt amused to try to find where things matched...
but i had a good laugh the girl who played faye made a private video bagging old fans and then another bagging new flans... she helped the series NOT get a second season... i call that kind of tacky videos made by the cast member a pineda (lol.. now I rememebr her name!!...a bit slow...)
@@albertbresca8904 "i was very glad it wasn't an exact copy" Then it's not Cowboy Bebop and in name only. I'm also very glad it didn't get a season 2.
@@Kesyabasturd i would've liked to see...
but so many things weren't bebop at all... faye being gay, faye's outfit... main character too old...the whining of that kid about to be introduced in season 2...
I would like to thank the Despot for bringing awareness to Scum during both this and his last video on Damsel. If it wasn't for you, I most likely never would have known it existed. What a great movie.
Actually, if you hit charity stores, you could get anywhere between 1,000 and 2,000 DVD's for that streaming price. But hurry, lots of people are figuring this out.
Robot Chicken and Family Guy did vulgar Scooby Doo murder mystery jokes better because they realized it's only funny for a few seconds and they get what they can out of it before then
That's because Seth Green has talent.
I love you despot
I feel like Luca Guadagnino's only interest as a director is filming young actors in their underwear. It's a hallmark of all his films (and the television show he made).
It's almost like predators become movie directors because they are allowed to be inhuman and all the other perverts cover for them.
it's a tale of one groomer
Another thing that makes no sense in Velma, if this is supposed to be the "origin story" of the Mystery Inc then how can anyone of them even be friends? Seriously, there is not a single episode where any one of them treats the other with respect it seems they all despise the other's very existance, so how the hell can them join together as friends to solve mysteries?
And this garbage totally breaks Scooby franschize lore.Fred,Shaggy,Velma and Daphne not just totally different peoples,but also already meet Scrappy without meeting Scooby yet,and when gang met with Scoob,they don't had any idea about Scrap even exist.Scrappy-Doo by his own words and by literally what was shown in the show it's an failed experiment,while in "Be cool Scooby-Doo" Scoob himself answered on question did he an experiment by saying "No" and for more evidence in "Scooby-Doo:Mystery Incorporated" was very directly implied that Scooby-Doo and also Scrappy-Doo as his grandson are aliens.So why they can't make show about other team?Especially considering that Mystery Inc. it's one team,but more like archetype ,what exist since aztecs.
I'm reminded of an old Mad TV sketch called Guy Pearce gets punched in the face. It's literally a minute of Guy Pearce getting repeatedly punched in the face. If you swapped out Guy Pearce for Velma and just made a 20 minute montage of her getting punched in various ways, it'd be more popular than the show.
"Velma Getting Punched" would get higher ratings than the MASH finale, sweep the Emmys, and win a Peabody.
I knew this about Call Me By Your Name (2017) when I watched it and yet, years later, I still paid money to watch Bones and All (2022) from the same director and one of the same actors because I am dumb.
If you like it, get it used for cheap physical media while its physical media is still cheap.
Man do I hate The Exorcist believer in so many ways
I'm surprised old lady NO2 is still alive?
Gosh she looks good.
Thank you for acknowledging Tremors as the banger it is.
I, as a gay, Catholic, and conservative dude... wholly approve of the Despot's reviews. I've enjoyed all the vids, and am ever grateful for having stumbled across this channel. Nice to see this channel growing more and more subscribers. Party on, Despot!
"...as a gay, Catholic..."
Lol, choose one.
You are gay and you think you’re Catholic?
Some had some priest’s dick in his ass and meaningless words in his ear young enough to get completely brainwashed about his own being.
The two you mention do not coexist.
Jesus doesn’t love you and he did not die for your sins. He wants to see you killed because of yours.
Nice attention bait, I wonder if people really think you can be both gay and catholic
@@lordfarquaad8601 Simply being gay is not a sin per RC doctrine...the sexual acts, like all premarital and extramarital sex outside the sacrament of marriage is a sin.
@@estanislaomandrilli7432 see my answer above.
By the time he finished talking about Scum, I forgot that this was a video about Velma.
Sorry Despot, I wasn't so crazy about the disjointed, all over the place video. And when you yell "I don't want to talk about Velma (or Damsel) anymore!!!" it makes me think, well if you don't want to be here, then why am I here? I know these movies / shows are terrible, but if you actually truly hate talking about them, then don't do it. Make videos about stuff you want to talk about. I love your long form analyses. Your Dune video was absolutely amazing. Even though I kind of hated Dune 2, I still loved listening to you compare and contrast the book, the older adaptations and the new one. Very thorough and thoughtful. And you were so passionate about it. Just my two cents. I love your channel 💛
Thanks for the feedback. This is an experimental video. I was originally planning a long Velma video but just couldn't face the prospect of all that... Velma.
@DespotofAntrim Honestly, Velma is just rage bait at this point so it's probably a good idea not give it much attention anyway. Thanks Despot and have a great night!
I have to agree here, this video kind of lacked focus. Still a good watch, but I'd have preferred a tidier format.
@@DespotofAntrim My two cents: your humor is spot on and good throughout the video, and I liked it despite it being different. Velma's terrible, I learned about other terrible movies, and you have to try new things in order to grow and learn. I wouldn't mind more drive-by reviews.
Tangible copy is king. I still have a vhs collection numbering in the hundreds
Oh, a new Despot video, about a thing I never heared of and some sequels. Let me open a tin of peaches, which are my favourite food since I decided to be a good fascist and watch my weight, and enjoy.

I'm off to buy some crisps and porter beer, anyone else wants something from the shops?
I’m partial to cashews and a sixer of IPA, if you’re going. Also, do you mind stopping by a fish and chips shop while your out? I’ve got cash for you when you get back.
@@daveyjones7391 sorry, only the petrol station was still open, and the smartphone-addicted teenager was very unpleasant, so I only got a packet of fa... Little Platoons. I could spare you a few if you're fine with Camels.
@@jeremiaas15I'll take one. Don't smoke, but this seems like a good time to start.
Call Me By Your Name won Best Picture? Shape of Water won that year.
The Shape of Water won Picture and Director. CMBYN only won Screenplay as an obvious career achievement award for James Ivory, known for classics like Howard's End and A Room with a View.
@@jacobdavis3876 Howard's End made me want to give head to a shotgun. Beautifully acted and scored, but my God was it boring
I would highly recommend anyone who likes the Exorcist listen to the audio book read by the author, William Peter Blatty. The movie is great, but the book allows you to spend a lot more time with Father Karras and the other characters and the author's narration is fantastic.
Mindy Kaling has to be blackmailing a number of people if she's able to get a second season for Velma.
As terrible as this show is.
I find it interesting how youtube critics still labor under the impression that this isn't all an intentional exercise in demoralization.
"Call me by your name" is such a brainrotted title for anything. The phrase itself gives me a headache because it's so nonsensical my thoughts screech to a halt trying to interpret it. I hate the song, I hate the movie, I hate the people who think it's clever. And that's without going into how lazy, pretentious, and in your face gay everything with this title tends to be.
the amount of research I had to due to figure out this guys name was Johnathon Frakes, which I was drawing a massive blank on, was surely more entertaining than the entirety of Velma. They were also far more hilarious than anything those writers could dream up if they were given super powers of some sort to allow them to be funny. Random mentioning of magic clothing is more entertaining than the same three jokes repeatedly.
Seems like that director wanted her under-aged gay fantasy movie out and no one shunned her for it.
There's literally no way we can't be sure that we're not already in Hell.
The More You Know™
I've been using, "that means it's not illegal" in conversation and finally one of my older coworkers recognized it as Nixon. Love you, Despot!!
Don't thank me, thank the 37th president of the United States.
It’s getting worse! Thanks Despot!
Despot you're one of the best when it comes to reviewing TV, movies, and media overall. I have watched every video you've made and many I've seen multiple times. I always look forward to your reviews. The best part is you do not hold back or beat around the bush so to say.
If anyone here is looking for a niche genre film of gay romance, an ambient film bordering on screen saver *and* has a murder mystery plot; Watch ‘Strangers at the lake’ thankfully no Timotheeee Charal-whatever anus involved.
Commander Riker has joined the cast of Despot minions...you, sir, are the gift that keeps on giving. Truly a benevolent despot.
Jonathon Frakes was made for this channel. I saw his compilation clip on CZcams from Beyond Belief and knew I had to have him on the channel.
ALL RISE IN THE PRESENCE OF DESPOT!!💪
4:37 Did NOT win the Oscar for Best Pic. Was nominated.
Won for Best Adapted Screenplay.
I think a more appropriate analogy for Mindy Kaling’s brand of cultural enrichment would be the Rajneeshpuram bioterror attack of 1984. One of those pesky historical events swept under the rug because diversity.
A bit more slapdash than your normal repartee Despot. You seemed to be aimlessly firing on different targets in this one. I'm guessing you just needed to release some pent-up anger. Still loved it! :) Thumbs up from me!
Cheers, Sev
Only reason Velma got a season 2 was because “just enough” people watched to believe it was that awful & I’m positive they won’t watch season 2 now
Season 2 was on the books from the beginning. They did the VA for both s1 and s2 at the same time.
Yeah, apparently it's typical to greenlight more than one season as a way to save on production costs if the studio thinks more than one season will be made. How do I get the job where I sell thing to these idiots?
That has never been proven, but it keeps being trotted out. Not saying that it's untrue, but it isn't like we haven't seen failures get sequels before.
@@arcdecibel9986 of you want the gig, move to CA, identify as anything but a white guy and brown nose enough to tell what everyone else had for lunch.
No actually it was because the two seasons were commisioned simultanously and season 2 was ALREADY in production before season 1 was even released...
So they never greenlit a season 2, they just commision one long season of two parts and released them with six months break.
Also huh, multi review videos, that's new and interesting. Though, hoping you'll tackle Falcon and the Winter Soldier, especially given the state of the MCU and apparently Captain America Brave New World is looking like it's gonna be a hot mess.
i watched call me by your name last year with a female friend. no prior knowledge, no information about it what so ever. the only feeling left with me when the credits rolled was indifference, then i was shocked to learn, that she watches that movie at least once every year for god knows reasons
A peach is a terrible thing to waste, especially in such poor taste.
When I break my way into the film industry, you will be my top writer my Goodman!
I really like your critiques on modern day media
My heart skipped a beat when I saw you published a new vid. I love you, Despot!
I can't believe glenn howerton went from always sunny, to Velma. Talk about a step down
That Livestream was so awkward where you guys were craping all over Timothy's butt. Little platoon once said on one of his live streams that Timothy was his perfect man. I still agree with you, I just felt bad for little platoon.
A gay brit creeping on a Shirtless twink and calling it art, same old same old.
Love the stuff mate. Underrated gem of a channel and thankful for any time you post. Cheers!!🥂
Hell yes i have been anxiously waiting for a new Despot drop. The only channel i actually check in to see if anything new came out yet.
The ads on the streaming services is what makes me cancel my subscription
Here's what so many get wrong.
Velma didn't get a second season 2 because it got so much "hate-watch" thus, it was the audience's fault.
Velma was always going to get a 2nd season because it's cheaper to make.
This was always the plan, regardless of how many views it got.
The only reason it was the top show to watch on HBO Max was because they canceled every other cartoon, and there was hardly anything else to watch.
Maurice did it beautifully in the 80s. James Willy and Rupert Graves had chemistry. Nobody needed this shyte.
From James Ivory, the same man who wrote Call Me By Your Name. How does this happen?? Remains of the Day, which he directed, is my favourite romance film as well. So disappointing and creepy.
11:18 Plot twist: Armie Hammer wasn't acting and was just being his normal self 🤣 I'll see myself out.
Re streaming over physical media: streaming strikes me as the absolute embodiment of the WEF’s goal of making you own nothing and being ‘happy’.
1:41 Year's not even half over Despot, it can always get worse.
