IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS 🗣🗣🗣
Just hoping you are ok sending you positivity thinking & strength for this year & for your life 💜
YUR SO BEAUITFUL D'ANGELO !!!
0:29 this made ne laugh like a hyena bcuz its true!!
I love that their first conclusion is “Taylor Swift wrote this” instead of “a Swiftie wrote this” which is MUCH more possible
Sounds like a British writer's room started the book, and AI finished it.
I concur (and I further theorize that part of why it was kept secret because of the backlash/controversy about Millie Bobby Brown’s gostwritten novel)
@@citrinedreaming wait, what?
@@phoenixfunny4517 Jack Edwards has a good video about it (and about ghostwriting as a whole) (also sorry if this reply came through twice, my internet is currently cursed)
Yep I went to berklee college of music and so many of my friends make huge amounts of money as ghostwriters for music, books, poetry etc. It is just WILD how some people steal or buy things like that and feel entitled to pretend they did it. I would never feel ok doing that because I want high self-esteem so I do the work to grow. I think it is dumb to pretend I did the work and never actually grow stronger, wiser or more talented. I would feel like a fraud! But instead I feel proud I worked hard to evolve and continue to do that work as a way of life. Learning can be a way of life, it doesn’t have to stop at school! I have learned far more out of school than in school personally. Now I bet people will get Ai to write things for them and use their money to put it out. Or it was a rich kid that got help from their parents that is behind this….. Personally I think Taylor would write a better movie and book considering how good her songwriting is I don’t think she is capable of this. I bet it’s more likely to be some rich British kid or adult that is mentally a child………they have the IQ of Ai 😂
Mystery solved 🎉😂!
What annoys me even more than the lack of quality in both book and movie is that they spent so much money on the marketing and still FAILED at it!
If they had released the book first as a regular fun spy thriller, and then based the movie on the author of the book and the adventures she gets into BECAUSE she wrote the book it would have been so much more interesting.
That way it’d blur the line between fiction and reality, the book Argyle would exist both irl and in the movie, and it’d be so damn easy to have a fake social media account as the author making posts about where she got the inspiration, they could even have left little clues in those posts. Imagine a person appearing in the background in several of the author’s selfies, and they turn out to be one of the ”real” spies in the movie.
I genuinly don’t understand why they went about it in the way they did. Such a wasted potential.
This. It could have been so much better and I’m honestly kind of sad it wasn’t, like it could’ve been so cool
You did so much better. What an interesting concept
Honestly they should just hire you I agree huge wasted potential
I’m guessing that they didn’t plan for the film to be a big deal. It was probably expected to just be a standard Apple TV release and once the film started getting some hype they started to try to milk it.
Honestly, your idea sounds good in theory, but the issue is that the movie would largely be based on the book being a success. If the book failed (which there is a very good chance it would), then it most likely would have resulted in the studios dialing down on marketing instead of hyping it up.
The other option would be to market the book heavily and announce it was already getting a movie adaptation, to drum up hype, then people would find out it’s a marketing stunt early on.
Honestly, it doesn’t really matter what they chose to do. This all started with a pitch for a movie, and that movie wasn’t good.
Yall are exaggerating about how bad the movie is.
i remember seeing exactly 1 trailer for this movie, thinking "hm that looks interesting" and then never thought about or heard about it ever until this video
My experience as well, except I saw 2 trailers (or maybe the same one twice, who can even remember)
I saw the trailer and felt like I’ve seen the movie before and technically YES that Sandra Bullock movie with Channing Tatum. An author writes an adventure novel that turns out to be based in real life and she ends up going on a journey with her real life book counterpart. Or whatever, same movie really, except I actually enjoyed that one…
I had a similar experience, except that upon seeing Dua Lipa my first thought for some reason was Rita Ora being in Fifty Shades of Grey and going "Hmmm, good luck with that."
Saw a poster for the movie where the cat was front and central. When I looked up the book/movie and found out that it was not about a secret cat spy named Argyle I completely lost interest.
Not gonna lie, I would totally watch a movie about a spy cat called Argylle, that sounds awesome! 😅
Wait so the spy ISNT the cat ??? Wow lost any interest
I really thought it was about a spy cat or the cat was the McGuffin from the promotional material, too
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia Yeah, Argyle is unironically a really good cat name.

As a Canadian, "dicking around" is 100% something we also say, but "dicking about" is definitely british
😂 I dunno why this was so funny to me because they're merely facts but thanks lol
I was born and raised in Kansas in the US. I've only ever lived in Kansas and Colorado. I use "dicking around" all the time. Lol.
yeah i was so confused when he mentioned that, i didn't realize USAmericans don't say dicking around
@@avawetzel3408 Alaskans say it.....but we're almost Canadian. Lol. 😂
None of this is how we speak in the UK. It’s almost like someone is pretending to be British, because we use miles here not kilometres. And we say dicking about but literally don’t say any of those other 1920 British things, no one speaks like that it’s just how people from other countries think we speak.
Conspiracy Theory: The "book" was just marketing for the movie, especially given the plot of the movie being about the author of the book, but then they leaned into the publicity stunt a little too hard, people started to actually demand the book in droves, and they had to drum up some ghostwriters to slap it together to appease people, which is why it kept getting delayed and there's clearly no actual Elly.
Edit: Made this comment before I finished the video. This is literally what happened lol.
Probably AI written
Yep, this is most likely the real thing. Movie to book adaptations have happened before so it's not surprising that they're doing that but pretending that the opposite happened. Plus isn't the supposed author, a character in the movie? soooo
This is what I thought as well. It's so scummy. Like they saw, hey this booktok thing is popular maybe we can profit off of this.
Honestly this is probably the most likely reason that this whole thing happened the way it did. I'm honestly surprised that the marketing people thought they'd be able to get away with not actually publishing a book
I legit thought the director himself wrote it, like why else would you ride for this
seeing d’angelo’s clothing style evolve in to something he’s truly happy with has inspired me more than i realised and it just clicked today. wearing bolder and more colourful outfits has improved my mental health and helped me become more confident in myself as a person, and that didn’t really start until a little after i saw him do the same. my fiance as well was a huge help, encouraging me to get clothing that made me happy and not just what i thought people wanted me to look like. i’m excited to pick outfits now, and i hope everyone is able to get to that same point one day
They should have learnt that using a film to promote a book to promote a film doesn’t work from 2010’s Red Riding Hood that had a book published just before the films release so they could say it was a book to film adaptation
Never trust a director who markets himself as having a "twisted mind"
Really gives vibes like those anti social guys that self identify as the Joker
That phrase always makes me think of the Hamburger Helper Tweet.
Harmony Korine ?
Literally edgy 12 year old boy behaviour

The trailers we saw in theatres for this were so well edited, it seems the better the trailer the worse the movie is lately.
I thought it was always like that 😅

Curious, what real books have you read?
Hollywood would jump through any firey hoops to get the publicity of a film to blow up, but will do nothing to actually ensure said film is worth watching.
No fr...some sequences of the movie were so ludicrous & cringe that I felt physically uncomfortable, you could tell they thought the audience was stupid. I hate I spent $$$ to see it in IMAX!
"no need to introduce me it's like introducing the sun I'm hot and everything revolves around me" okay uh, subscribed
Your hair is so beautiful D'Angelo, I love this length on you a lot. It takes me so happy to see how you express yourself in every new video, ever since you started making content that you feel you can continue making I feel like you just keep glowing up, which I thought was impossible with someone who was already that gorgeous lol.
His videos are such a gift and some of the best things on CZcams
The Danganronpa-style trial with evidence of Taylor “writing” this movie sent me 😭😭😭
It threw me off SO BAD but it’s so funny as a dr fan 😭
I was extremely taken aback to see anything Danganronpa related in a D'Angelo video, but I won't complain about hearing the music more.

just now realizing Argylle isn’t the name of the cat
I also thought it was the cat from the .02 seconds of anything I've seen about this lol
I don't blame you, Argylle would be a great name for a cat.
@@brieoshiro i prolly shoulda realized before the video was almost over lmaoo but idk i think the marketing wants you to assume that the cat has the goofy name
I'm going to be honest. I thought this was a movie about a spy cat named Argylle. I only just learned that wasn't the case from this video. I was actually looking forward to watching a spy cat movie. Too bad it doesn't exist.
@@lazykitten12I mean, if you really want that, I remember a spy cat and dog movie series called Cats versus Dogs
"and you did it at my birthday dinner" LMFAO I say that entirely too much and no one knows wtf I got it from so they always look confused 😂
another gr8 video d'Angelo! was watching while washing dishes and my dad was transfixed by your enunciation and pronunciation (he's relearning english again)~ told him you always put in so much effort and work because it's your livelihood :)
My theory is that people think Taylor Swift wrote it because there is no way that such a bad story has been made into a super Hollywood production with a wild cast and such a budget as 200M... The most powerful and rich person that could be able to do that is Taylor Swift.

Wonder if the book is AI generated and that's the reveal we'll get in time, would explain the repetitive descriptions, the American/british mix-ups and unoriginal story
i was thinking the same. smells like chatgpt in here
There are two authors and it's not even hard to find on google
My guess is it maybe was written by a person but it was edited by a bot because no reputable copyediting team would let that slide
@@acoelomate2984 maybe, I think if they're getting a big check and they didn't even have to write the story, they probably didn't work particularly hard on it. I think it's foolish to claim ai on everything that sucks. People can suck hard, all on their own.
Something AI related definitely makes the most sense to me. Especially with the delays, it probably ended up needing significantly more human input then original thought
I'm banking on this being like. Self insert Fanfiction someone in Hollywood wrote and then changed the names because the way you described the actual text in the book reminds me of fanfiction
Literally down to the British author being completely ignorant about how people actually speak 😭
Pausing the video just to say i almost choked when the danganronpa trial thing popped up. Ok i'm back to the video now 👍🏼 i'm really enjoying listening to you relying this mess
Matthew Vaughn saying that a random ghost-written book "reinvented the spy genre" is so funny when he's literally the man who low-key did reinvent the spy genre in one of his movies
Maybe he wrote the book😂😂
"a movie that tried to reinvent the wheel, but just ended up spinning in circles" 💀
also 10/10 for Storygraph mention
Omg, Storygraph getting a mention makes me happy
On a tangent: Knowing about the War Thunder forum, any plot that's all 'Oh you accidentally revealed governmental secrets, you must die D
The book sounds like it's a dull, paint by numbers affair, but everyone in the theater I saw it in was roaring with laughter and having a great time, myself included. I thought it was goofy fun, not goofy bad. 🤷
Same! I actually enjoyed it lol I don’t understood all the hate for the film
I totally agree! I had a good time watching the movie.
Literally the biggest plot twist of this book/movie is the author not being Elly Conway, and up and coming author but being Tammy Cohen, a already pretty established author, how sad the authors identity is more interesting then the book/movies its self 😭
I for real wanna see how anyone feels about Tammy's works that she actually put her best on. I'm sure it's better than whatever this is
Tie in novels like this (I will never believe the book came first) can get a nice check for the author but they usually have very little time to actually write it.
Not a fan of the idea that there's a corporate novel secretly trying to pass itself off as though it's written by an actual person. Yes, I know the ghostwriter is an actual person, but I mean that the book is an idea by the director on behalf of the studio and no one knew until the book released.
The last time this happened, we wound up with the "Rose Red" novel, which is the only book set in a Stephen King universe that was not written by Stephen King. It literally only exists to promote Stephen King's Rose Red miniseries.
great video!! loved how comprehensive it was and that you went over the mystery surrounding the book/movie, did a book review, and a movie review! super fun to watch
Please make more content like this. Idk what “this” type of content would be classified as but you case studies are always so in depth. Really to some it up just make more content, we love you ❤
Ngl the excerpts about the character with a boob job reminds me of those ‘women written badly by men’ compilations…
“she breasted boobily down the stairs” type of descriptions lol
this is so disappointing because i saw an ad for this when i went to see saltburn, and although the concept is stupid and it’s not a movie i would enjoy, i remember being excited to see a NEW IP and not a remake or a throwback.

People think Taylor is God at this point.
We all know the real god is d'angelo!
I know & it’s so annoying!! Also how there are rumors that she could be in Deadpool 3. I hope she doesn’t appear in the trailers because I don’t want to be in a crowded theater only full of her fans
… she’s not? 😟 (pls im *mostly* joking)
In this case, it's not on the fans. It's on the advertizing company who shamelessly promoted it using her name.
@UTubeTrollPolice298 it's been like 2 years and bots are still on this shit
i kinda believed the jk rowling for a while cuz 1) she is a bad author 2) if she was behind it it makes sense they would spend a lot of money to back it as she has a very successful ip behind her already 3) she has been known to use pseudonyms in the past for thriller books
seeing the two redheaded british women i inmediatly thought of Joanne lmaooo
If it was jk we would have been able to tell because there would have been blatant transphobia all throughout the book

1. Saw the trailer. It looked bad. I thought Argyle was the cat.
2. This story just makes me annoyed and I’m glad it backfired.
I would’ve watched it if argyle was the cat. Tbh.
IT’S NOT???? oh no
I legit thought that too, was like "so....is the cat actually the spy and the other guy is like his handler? Is that the twist?!"
One rule of thumb about movies: if it’s released in February it’s because it’s not expected to do any money but the studio is trying for a time of year when there’s not much competition at the box office and hope for the best.
If it’s released in January it’s an Oscar bait movie that didn’t cost much but is also not expected to make much.
wait are you not supposed to release movies in february?
Yeah, that's true. Of course, sometimes the studio is wrong about how badly a movie will do (like Black Panther).
Unless it's a romantic movie.
@@libertycalhoun9210
Yeah there are definitely seasons for movies that have been intensely studied for marketing purposes. Like the “summer blockbuster”
There are many reason for why people go see movies at different times of the year, many historic and cultural.
Like how Disney and other animated studios always try to release an animated movie in either late Oktober or early December at the worst, to coincide with the Christmas shopping season for kids toys.
I would have to speculate why February in particular is considered bad for films but if I had to guess it’s because no major western holidays take place around it and in many places it’s cold, so people won’t leave the house at evening to watch a film
@@disgruntledmoderate5331Black Panther was released in February because it’s Black History Month 😂
Ellie Conway going for that GRR Martin release schedule xD
Dude your jokes in this were getting me. I was laughing out loud at work 😂
The true Argylle is definitely the friends we made along the way.
disappointed that the movie doesn't live up to the honestly fun and well-edited trailers.
Did you watch it? Or did you just gather this from D’Angelos review? Because if this is the case I would seriously recommend watching it yourself. I found it to be really entertaining in an absurd, kind of so bad it’s good way
I really enjoyed the movie. I mean, is it silly? Sure, but unlike most spy movies (which are also silly), it knows it's silly. I thought it was fun.
Eh I loved the movie. It was fun and hilarious. The colorful ending fight scene was straight out of zoolander
It was really fun if you like zany comedy/action spy genre mashups. I giggled the whole time
Same, I just watched the trailer and was like "oh this looks fun" but the reviews are badddd
i paused to read the excerpts of the book and omg. the apostrophes instead of quotation marks for when a character is speaking IS KILLING ME
“And you did it at my birthday dinner” - had me dying!!! 😂 D’Angelo you are truly a gem!!! ❤
my conspiracy theory is the movie gave first, and the book was written by an AI that was fed the movie script and asked to write a prequel.
I hadnt heard anything about this movie until i saw the preview when seeing the fnaf movie. Afterwards my friend looks at me and says "you can tell theres a strike happening."

Please review more books! Your deep dive of the Argylle book was fantastic.
Before you revealed there was, in fact, a real author I was thinking "it has to be AI. They're testing the waters to see if people can tell if this book was written by AI". No it's just an author being cornered into what sounds like a very unfun contact
It reminds me of Dan Olson's video on Contrepreneurs.
@@TacticusPrime Same!!
there are so many political and moral implications to helping someone get autocratic rule of a massive global power and it doesn’t TOUCH them, it’s like this book is allergic to being interesting 😭
I love you 😂😂 this entire video from start to finish was amazing
This book wasn't just written by Tammy Cohen, but also by the very famous (at least here in the Netherlands lol) Terry Hayes! They wrote it together.
My boyfriend saw it last night with zero expectations, and absolutely *_HATED_* it. Everyone apparently plays it super smug, none of the jokes land, and most of the twists and plot points are really stupid. _Kingsman: The Golden Circle: The Remake_ , basically.
How dare you insult that movie, it's pure gorgeous camp, plus Pedro Pascal 😍
Ain’t gonna lie bro don’t trash Kingsman like that I love those movies because they’re the stupid version of James Bond 😂
I also saw it with no expectations. It was def a movie you should wait to come out on streaming. Don’t pay to see it lol
My boyfriend saw it and medium liked it, he told me i definitely wouldnt like it, but he watched it with his dad who really loves Kingsman, so he had more of a reason to like it
Saw it last night and thought it was ok except for the last 20 mins which are totally unneccessary and just drag.
This is not the first time Taylor Swift has been accused of writing something she didn’t. A while ago people convinced themselves that she wrote a really popular Harry Potter fan fiction called All The Young Dudes. I cant believe this is happening again this is so funny.
Omg I’ve never heard that, that’s hilarious 😂
I feel like if taylor swift did actually write fanfiction it would maybe be rpf

Or when a publisher hinted that they had a huge memoir being published in July and tiktok swifties just blindly decided it was going to be Taylor Swift's, but it turned out to be BTS instead
This hit me with sudden faint memory of Nikki Heat/Heat wave book I've read years ago. Only reason I picked the book up was because I was a fan of Castle tv-series. I'm pretty sure it was published after tv-series was rolled out, remember it being pretty simple in terms of plot story. Entertaining in the same way that reality tv is occasionally entertaining, doesn't require using your brain much.
Great video, I'm surprised it isn't longer
For anyone who would like to see a movie with a similar premise but done better, I recommend The Lost City. It stars Sandra Bullock as a successful adventure romance novelist and Channing Tatum as the himbo who stars as the cover model for her books. Sandra Bullock’s character has a background in anthropology or something like that so she’s very knowledgeable about this specific culture and that knowledge shows up in her books. This crazy billionaire played by Daniel Radcliffe is looking for this lost artifact on one of the islands from this culture and he kidnaps Sandra Bullock’s character because she’s the only one who can figure out how to find it. And Channing Tatum’s character, who is in love with her, goes after them to save her. It’s really funny and cute and the cast is stacked!
I watched this movie! Literally so good
I knew it kept reminding me of a different movie but my brain couldn't pull the title!
I really liked that movie!
Lost City was an instant classic, a truly funny flick.
That was a good one, I thoroughly enjoyed it (always was a sucker for the "I'm not actually built to be the hero, but god damn it I act like the guy so I am!" character trope).
there's also an author who writes sapphic poetry and makes very painfully obvious references to taylor's work to try and make it seem like she's the one writing the (in my opinion, very bad) poetry and the very dedicated (cough cough creepy cough) portion of taylor's fans who think she's queer and look for any shred of proof went crazy for that so this doesn't fully surprise me.
I MAKE BETTER CONTENT THAN THIS.

That’s weird asf but I wouldn’t put it past the Swifties

@@sophpie i don’t remember her name but if you look up taylor swift sapphic poetry theory or something i’m sure you’ll find it:)
that's so funny

Eh, we've been overdue for some new forms of racism. The old ones are starting to get outdated.
The British phrases remind me of the Kissing Booth series. The characters are all American, but the author is British, so sometimes the characters say things like "bum" instead of "butt." Also in one of the sequels, the kids drink beer despite being just 18. No fake ID, either.
Several British friends have told me that everyone in the UK is basically fluent in American English due to the ubiquity of American media/pop culture. I’m sure British people are generally more familiar with AE than we are BE, but they’re overstating how much passive media consumption can teach someone about the subtleties of a foreign dialect. Writers still need to do their homework, starting with the word “gotten.” 😂
@@LittleDogTobi The fact that I've read books where northern American authors try to write southern American characters and then just wildly misuse the very basic phrase "y'all" just backs up the fact that just because someone knows the slang does not mean they understand the slang.
us fanfic writers have betas called britpickers/americapickers specifically to fix these issues... how come published books dont...
@@LittleDogTobithe thing is that even being able to understand 90% of Americanisms, it's sometimes harder to recognise which of the things *we* say are Britishisms. In other words it's easier to add phrases to your vocabulary than it is to delete stuff that's ingrained in you.
@@AbiSaysThings You’re right. That’s partly why active research is so important when recreating a foreign dialect in one’s writing. You can’t know right off the bat which parts of your own speech are dialect-specific.
😂😂😂 omg the tati reference in the Sammy L, Black history month mini rant..... stawwwwwp so funny. Omg.
Devry catching strays 😂! D'Angelo, this was sooooo entertaining!
Tammy Cohen wasn't born in Britain, she's from Ibadan, Nigeria, she went to school in Sierra Leone and California. She then studied at Manchester University before settling in London. This will be why Waste haulier which are actually called bin men in British English and KM's are used, whereas in Britiain it is much more common to use miles.
Where did you learn all of this?
@@propogandalf I typed the name into google, there is more info of her life.
She is British though.
"I was born in Ibadan, Nigeria where my anthropologist father happened to be doing fieldwork at the time. Sabbatical years in far-flung places were a feature of my childhood and I attended school in both Sierra Leone and California. Otherwise, I mostly grew up in the suburbs of London where my adolescence was spent either in the local library or waiting for the last tube home."
So, it sounds like her parent(s) were British & because of her father's work she happened to be born in another country & would spend occasional, temporary periods of time in various countries while living in the UK between those periods.
@@aaronhoy3410 okay that's a different article to the one I read, just to reiterate Waste Hauliers is not a British term and the use of KM is very rare.
'waste hauler' sounds like the politically correct version of 'garbage men' that I've used/seen used as a lifelong Californian. like, extracting gender and distilling the job activities kinda thing.
I’ve discovered that I would like to watch more of D’Angelo critiquing books and movies. That analysis at the end was scathing and hilarious!
Still kinda waiting for an album review rn, but book and movie reviews by D'Angelo seems like a good idea too
Yes
The fucking Dongonrompa music during the identity reveal of "Ellie" killed me 😂
Love you included StoryGraph screenshots.
This is the first time I’ve heard the rumors of Taylor being the one who wrote it… I have, however, heard tons of rumors that it was, instead, written by my mortal enemy, JK Rowling. Also, I love that you use StoryGraph instead of GoodReads, D’Angelo! The superior choice 😌

It makes more sense than Taylor Swift at least 😅
@@ville__this isn't how you promote yourself. You come off hateful, by saying your content is "better." There's enough space for both of you on the platform, just stop. I keep running into your comments and it's really weird.
I'm also autistic, and if I see your content, I'm just going to be weirded out that you felt the need to tear down another creator to lift yourself up.
I figured thats not true as as soon as it bombed she would 'come out' and say she wrote (like her shitty murder mysteries??). Maybe tho, either way I am not watching it.
@@justhearmeout3959It's a bot. They're all always bots.

This is my first time watching your channel. It just randomly came up in my feed. And I can say you just got yourself a subscriber. I loved your comedic touch with the editing and the way you described things hahaha. Im excited to see what you do next!
its been a few days but omggg you look sooooo good in that photo on your channel avatar :) genuinely glowing

"Argyle had the theater out here looking like Easter Island" fucking dead
I saw the trailer and was excited at the idea of another Kingsman style fun spy film, so this makes me quite disappointed.
The British English terms really confuse me. I've never heard of bin men called "waste hauliers" and I've only ever heard km used for people discussing running distances, not for driving or other travel.
At first I wondered if it was just a British setting on spellcheck, but that doesnt explain the "dicking about" and "a spot of" etc.
I saw it today. The movie was good.
Yeah that is weird. Would be really immersion breaking for a brit I imagine.
Do you think they were trying to make an alternate britain vibe? Using random words? Like I swear its only Americans who think its km in Britain when its miles.
Edit - or AI writing...?
LOL…didn’t knew about anything of this but I’m glad I found your video, you are very funny and gave the community valuable time saving advice

A Kevin James movie already did this premise, and better. Its called True Memoirs of an International Assassin
I've never seen any of your videos, but when I saw you actually read the book, I felt I owed you a half hour of my time. I salute you for taking that bullet.
when i tell you I clicked instantly
NO FR I CLICKED SO FAST

If I read Taylor Swift, Im CLICKING
I actually left a discord call for this 😅
Real
It makes me thing of Red Riding Hood, a 2011 movie who promoted itself as a YA book adaptation like Twilight, but not only the book was writen as the movie is being made, but it finished on a cliffhanger so the plot twist of the movie would not be spoiled. The last chapter was released as a separate short story.
That movie was so promising! They had Amanda Sayfried play the heroine, and the poster looked so good and haunting... it was a huge waste of potential
Haven't seen your vids in my algorithm in forever! Your hair is so long now!
