Was this as bad as the trailer suggest?
is even badder
It was fine. Just don't expect a masterpiece.
It's pretty much exactly what you'd expect from Half in the Bag intro/outros in terms of humor, acting, and intentionally low production value.
love RLM but yeah, it sucked. it's just boring.
>>70670760
>intentionally low production value
what?
>>70670801
Cheap costumes and sets, visible strings on puppets, etc.
I mean it's slightly above their normal web content, but it's intentionally cheap looking.
>>70670546
At least it's better than The AVGN movie and every shit made by Channel Awesome.

It's fine. I liked Feeding Frenzy more but if you're a fan chances are you'll like it too.

post the copypasta pls
If you want to watch Rich enter a password into a fridge door for 15 minutes and then straight after that get stuck trying to exit a conference call for another 20 minutes, then go for your life.
Absolutely love RLM, I have a signed poster from before they were cool.
This movie was pretty boring, I only made it 2/3 of the way through. It completely lacks the gang's natural humour.
Space Cop was genuinely fucking awful. Me and my friends sat down to watch it and lo and behold I don't think I heard a single laughter let alone chuckle throughout. It was just so boring. Either the jokes dragged on for way too long, or they made no sense (in the mediocre way).
I am fucking glad I didn't buy it now. Jesus, what a mess. And I love their other content usually, although they should stop having shitty guests on their shows.
it was a lot fun if you're into the type of comedy of rlm. probably wont get them any new fans but I had fun with it.

About 70-80% of the jokes in the film are recycled from their old material.
I wasn't expecting much. Still disappointed by the jokes.
Why did they waste their time with this shit?
they were intentionally makin a bad film. geez.
>>70672128
no
I like their other stuff but space cop is just shit

It's not intentionally low, as in they had a gazillion dollars laying around and decided to do something as cheaply as possible just for the fuck of it. They've said many times that they tried to do the best they could with what limited budget they had. When you compare Space Cop to the stinking pile of shit that Linkara produced for 60k you'll start to appreciate the work they put into it more.
do mike or jay post here ever?

No. Fuck that. They made a shit movie. No excuses.
In fact, less than no excuses when they're famous for shitting all over other movies. They should have made something good. Instead, they made shit.

>>70673822
I don think it's an excuse, you just need some perspective. They made the film they wanted to make but like with any film, especially a film of such a low budget, they had to make compromises. They still made a better job than most people would've with what they had.
>less than no excuses when they're famous for shitting all over other movies
Did you forget the part where they love watching schlock just as much as they love shitting on it? One of Jay's favorite films is Samurai Cop!
I think the problem stems from people going into this expecting something at the level of Captain America: Civil War™ or some 200+ million dollar production when it is essentially no different than the shit they are famous for (plinkett, half in the bag skits, feeding frenzy, etc). Same thing happened with the AVGN movie; a bunch of whiny kids, who by the way know absolutely nothing about film production, got upset because the film didn't pass their quality control. Don't forget these films are primarily made for the fans.
>>70672177
Yet it had none of the warmth or feel of their other comedy skits. It didn't sound or seem natural at all.
30% of 4channers didn't even finish the movie. Another 30% flat out hated it. It was THAT bad.
>>70675846
>>70672438
What happened to her? Did she died? :(
>>70675530
someone post the thing Jay wrote on their forum.
It's not like they intentionally went for a low budget type movie. They had no choice. It was put together over several years due and they barely had any resources.
>>70675846
>I think the problem stems from people going into this expecting something at the level of Captain America: Civil War™ or some 200+ million dollar production
I just wanted them to genuinely try hard at something for once in their lives, rather than going down the easy deliberately bad acting and special effects route. Kung Fury was made on as similar budget and didn't look like a 12 year old made it in 1995.
I couldn't get through it without their audio commentary on.
The film itself is shit and only interesting when you have Mike and Jay discuss making it. Its not funny.
To think they did this rather than make more Plinkett reviews during those years. What a waste.
RLM needs to stick with what they do best, being movie critics with sardonic humor. Get rid of Previously Recorded too. Its shit.
>>70677416
Kung Fury is without the shadow of a doubt the worst piece of shit I have ever seen.
>>70673577
I get the impression Jay and Mike barely follow online discussions and just hear about online stuff second-hand by and large. I could see Rich or Wizard posting here maybe. Jack seems like more of a reddit/twitter guy.
>>70677275
>4channers
You fucking retard
>>70677355
She doesn't want to appear on camera anymore due to all the harassment she got from people.
Honestly she's pretty justified in that given some of the stuff I've seen on this board.
The first half was alright but it really goes to shit once Mike's character gets introduced, the movie just gets so fucking boring.
>>70677504
Jack does post to the RLM subreddit under the name Harlack. So they do know that their audience didn't care for the movie.
>>70677531
>dat speculation
Nobody involved with RLM has ever said or even implies this is the reason she's not on anymore.
>>70677544
>jack posts on Reddit, therefore Mike and Jay know everything posted about them on Reddit
Did this somehow make sense in your head?
>>70677455
Well you're a fag

>>70677572
Did you honestly like Kung Fury? I'm not memeing, now, because I wanna know why
>>70677571
You're right, anon. Jack never communicates what he reads about RLM on the internet to the other guys.
>>70677607
This I agree with
>>70677652
I'm sure they communicate all the time but how often do you think they honestly spend dwelling on Reddit?
>>70677607
That was kind of the joke, genius.
>>70677448
Pre rec has 2 members of RLM in it but isn't associated with RLM per se
Jack and Rich fully own pre rec
Some stuff is lame and too familiar but there's some really funny stuff in there. Watch it with friends if you have any, it'll probably only mildly entertain alone
>>70677875
>RLM series posted on the RLM website

they pay 50% of the cash from pre rec to RLM.

>>70677977
I was watching their stream and they said that pre rec was completely their own thing, if they pay RLM something for the use of the facilities or something like that i don't know
>>70677681
They're dependent on donations from their fanbase to sustain themselves. Do you really think they're not going to discuss what gets posted on reddit or facebook groups dedicated to their shows?
Were you dropped as a child? This is basic consumer analysis.
>>70678142
Mike and Jay have never shown any signs of giving a shit about their fanbase. It's one of their best qualities.
>>70678200
This. You'll never see Mike and Jay begging for tips on a livestream and then doing whatever their donor demands them to as a result.
>>70678112
Correct. They said a portion of their Youtube money goes to pay for the privilege of using RLM's studio and camera to film.
The only money they don't owe to Mike and Jay are from the Twitch subscriber and donation cash.
I think its a dick move of Mike to charge his co-workers to use their stuff when they're not even there, but Rich is an asshole so its justified.
It was like they were trying to make anti-humour to make you laugh as little as possible up until Mike shows up.
Seriously, what the fuck was with that fridge """""""""gag""""""""?
>>70678308
>I think its a dick move of Mike to charge his co-workers to use their stuff when they're not even there
The only reason Jack and Rich have a studio to stream in is because of Mike and Jay. The only reason anyone even knows what Pre Rec is is because of it's association with RLM. And do you think electricity pays for itself? There's nothing dick-ish about it.
>>70678200
They literally spent the first few minutes of re:view episode 1 reassuring the fanbase like 2 weeks ago.
>>70678385
That's not the same thing as what I'm talking about. Like, at all.
If they really wanted to pander to their fanbase, they would have made a ton of Plinkett reviews int he last few years. They do what they want, when they want.
>>70678353
On more than one occasion Jack has said RLM doesn't pay him. Rich is so poor from his RLM money that he begs for PC part money donations and ignores toothaches due to not having money for dentristry.
Mike could throw these guys a bone, but Rich sucks so much I agree with charging them for everything.
>>70678446
>Rich is so poor from his RLM money that he begs for PC part money donations and ignores toothaches due to not having money for dentristry
Did it ever occur to you that maybe Rich is just really bad with handling his money? You can tell by his whole demeanor that he's a lazy slob that doesn't know anything about the world. He didn't even know that you shouldn't drink soda to rehydrate until Jay pointed it out to him.
>Rich sucks so much I agree with charging them for everything.
They're not charging them anything. They're taking a cut of profit, which makes sense considering they're using RLM's name to get their own side projection attention and the only reason they're even able to do that is because Mike and Jay have allowed them to use the space and the resources that they have.
You're either a simpleton or you're too young to understand how the world works.
>>70670546
pre-rec is the greater embarrassment

I just like calling out idiots. It's fun to point out when people have no idea what they're talking about.

>>70678412
Plinkett reviews are a lot of time and effort for a very brief moment of fan engagement.
Do you think that they have to openly talk about working to bring in and keep viewers to be doing it?
You really believe they have no interest in the market that allows them to feed and clothe themselves?
>>70670546

They have no interest in PANDERING to their audience. If they did, their channel would be much different.
>>70679008
Nobody ever said anything about pandering friend.
Could RLM make a good Star Wars film if Disney gave them the budget and opportunity?
>>70679600
No. And I'm pretty sure Mike and Jay would agree. They're not delusional about where their skill level is.

You don't seriously believe this, right?
>>70670546
It was sold direct to their fanbase and has a 5.4/10 on IMDB. God knows how badly it'd go down with people who weren't predisposed to like the creators.
It's just a standard piece of sub-film student shit where people who don't know what they're doing put the least amount of effort possible into a movie and then fall back on "Oh, but it was a PARODY, you see" to deflect criticism. The irony is that this is identical to Lucas' "It's stylistically designed to be that way" excuse, only Lucas at least managed to pull off something that resembled a 1930's space opera, whereas RLM can't even convincingly recreate low-budget schlock. Think about how much of a fucking failure that is.
RLM are not special, insightful or remotely talented. You could grab any three random self-styled "bad movie" fans in their late 30's, sit them in a studio and produce something identical to Half in the Bag. There's a level of technical competence to it that random guys with webcams don't have (because they didn't go to film school, not because it's actually beyond them), but that's it. You could head to any random nerd forum and see the exact same points being made about why such-and-such sucked. All they have going for them is the "friend simulator" thing, because, yeah, it is exactly like being stuck in a basement with a bunch of nitpicking manchildren. Grats. What an achievement.
>>70680215
Wait...are you saying a movie made for $15 isn't as good as a movie made for $100 million? YOU JUST BLEW MY MIND, ANON!

>>70680215
what have YOU achieved?
>>70681674
He shitposted anonymously on /tv/ about people more successful than him, anon. What bigger achievement is there??
>>70681674
does that same logic apply to RLM as well?
>>70682162
Imagine being Mike.
Watching all of your film school friends fail and accept soul-crushing 9-to-5s.
Imagine finding decent success in a job where you get to be with your buddies, be your own boss, and watch movies. Developing an actual fanbase that will remember you when you're gone and leaving a small artistic impact on the world, but not reaching a celeb status that would have a negative effect on your life.
How terrible.
>>70670546
It's even worse. And I usually like RLM.
>>70682162
they entertain thousands and are geniunely funny on a regular basis, so what if they are shit filmmakers themselves
>>70680748
Their first star wars review has like 6 million views on YT
>>70682195
Yeah, but that logic can be applied relatively. Every time RLM criticizes a film you can just go, ''Well, what have you achieved? You made a shitty terrible movie!''
It's a stupid thing to say because a) you're not actually addressing any of the criticisms that were made, b) you don't need to be a chef in order to criticize someone's food, and c) you can apply this ''argument'' to anyone in some degree.
>>70682195
Pretty weird how almost every big "humor" or review youtube channel rips RLM's style off now.
>>70681674
he doesn't need achievements to criticize. That's never been a part of criticism.Either critique him on the points he made or you're wasting everyone's time.
>>70682641

If you're looking for youtube reviews/movie shows, RLM is the best. They're at least funny and dry, sarcastic, and they don't feel like they're trying to appeal to EVERYONE at the same time.

This is why I hate youtube
The VHS version is much, much better. It's somehow more immersive.
>>70685721
Why didn't they just a VHS quality verison on the bluray
>>70685895
Dunno. Maybe they thought it would be insincere. But if anyone out there wants to see it - just watch the vhs version, 4:3 and the aesthetics radically change the enjoyment factor
The original - pretty good youtube movie, 4/10
VHS version - next Trancers 6/10
>>70686051
The most unanimous negative criticism of the movie is that it was made "intentionally bad" and you think releasing an EVEN MORE intentionally bad version would have gone over well somehow?
>>70686140
It wasn't intentionaly bad but their brand of humor might make it look like it was.
Give it some time and watch it in vhs version, you'll see.
>>70686234
I didn't think it was intentionally bad either, but that has been by far the biggest complaint about the movie.
