You guys have been talking about American Beauty as much, if not more, than Balldoman himself and still haven't answered important questions like: What kind of tripods, if any, were used in the filming of American Beauty?

I think the hardest thing with Nick... how to put it... my wife and I were talking about it last night.I edited a sarcasm tag in to make ir more clear, but this is Nose's line. @elb has a clip about it and hik coping about it for a good long while.
He has put all his streaming eggs in the Rumble basket after his YT scare ban and the belatedly forced diversification to Rumble, Odysee,
, and other platforms that he has since dropped. He has gotten lazier and wants to ONLY stream in one place and ONLY get a guaranteed pay cheque from a platform. He does not want to hustle any more.
While I liked it (despite a "message" that is either incoherent or aberrant), it was not only not the best of the year, but not even the best of the four you listed. The only award it actually deserved was Conrad Hall's award for Best Cinematography. It was beautifully shot (as Hall's work usually is).Rekieta's obsession and the resulting discussion about American Beauty provoked me to watch it. I like that it came out the same year as Fight Club, The Matrix and Office Space and all four touched on the same themes of alienation and imprisonment in the modern world approaching a new century, and wanting to escape.
Wow there, hold your horses. Tripod discussion is scheduled for mid June, right after we go over the lighting, soundtrack and plot sections. I hope that we actually get to watching the movie part somewhere in late Summer, but that can wait. As of now I think only about three people in the thread actually watched it... maybe two. Others seem to be just verbally digesting the simulacrum of a retelling they read two weeks ago.

He only has 16k subs.-Sean, for his farms enjoyment, absorbing Nick’s former audience + discord members, and acquiring his lost cool factor. Can’t have the lolcow on now…
If it's any consolation, modern reappraisals of American Beauty have not been kind.This crock of shit won an Oscars?
New drexel tweets with null in it.I dunno if anybody else noticed, but Drexel is in the running in the Fresh Meat category this year. So that's another thing you might consider voting for.

But then again, so is Vito.
Unlike Bossman Jack vs. Rekieta, with Fatrick, this one is actually a tougher choice for me. I think Vito the pedo is a bigger lolcow, and his thread is long overdue, but the Drexel OP that @Not Who You Think edited together is just so damn good.
I'm conflicted. Siding more toward giving it to Drexel. Thoughts?

A lot of that has to do with Spacey being cancelled, but still.
Honestly, I forgot the movie even existed until Nick brought it up (and now won't shut the fuck up about it).
One of these days I'll watch it. I keep putting it off because I keep hoping it'll stop coming up, but now I feel I need an informed opinion (See: knowledge with which to mock Rekieta with). Every description of the film thus far has only made me want to avoid it as long as possible.As of now I think only about three people in the thread actually watched it... maybe two.

I personally gave it to Drexel. Not just because of favoritism for our guy NWYT and all the effort that went into that OP, but also because I don't Vito to have any accolades to his name, not even ones that mock him. He deserves nothing but the worst of times. Also Drexel has at least make me genuinely laugh at one point, so there's that.I dunno if anybody else noticed, but Drexel is in the running in the Fresh Meat category this year.

Assumed Rumble was a bit normie not paying attention to his live antics . Appears they noticed his dwindling numbers and donors. Can't imagine him getting a raise but shrinking to 5 digits from his prior alleged 6 digit payout.
I'm still inclined that Kayla has simply killed the bedroom because of Nick's clear disregard for himself and his family, less then a year after advising that if you're going to do porn, don't have kids.
If Nick is malding and gobbling over Sean and his small channel, it speaks to a "life well lived" being what angers the wretched

Same. Jackie Singh deserves all the scrutiny that can be directed at her. She’s a lunatic and not a safe person for her children to be around.I voted for Jackie Singh, Drexel is just a black loser. Black losers getting into weird race and sex is a normal thing.
Drexel is just another dumb nigger. Riley and Vito would get off on any attention given to them. They should be ridiculed and ruined without being singled out for distinction.I don't feel like Drexel is a good contender for Fresh Meat. He's just a dumb, stupid negro incel. I think one of Dick's crew like Riley or Vito would be a better pick.
My thinking was the same as yours. I was going to vote for Shane, but @Not Who You Think's OP was enough to sway my vote over to Drexel. If "Best OP" was a separate category I'd have split my votes. That said, the Drexel Discord mole-hunting saga was hilarious on its own.But then again, so is Vito.

What's interesting about this is less what he says about Rumble's numbers, but HIS numbers on Rumble specifically. He admits they're down for December, but he claims it's due to inconsistency in his streaming as he cancels shows and delays other shows to later times. I don't think that's what's going on at all. Nick appears to have not been featured front and center on the Rumble front page when he was streaming for large portions of the month. That's on Rumble, not him. I don't think it bodes well for any new Rumble contract.So @elb posted a clip of Nick talking about Rumbles inflated numbers.

I’m going with he fails, one of two ways.He is going for a sober January. TAKING ALL BETS
The segment itself was much longer than 2 hours for maybe 9 minutes total of video, you guys got the clipped down version. I’ve never hated an edit moreand also a 2 hour reaction for just 16 minutes video for having a really bad legal take regarding trademark laws
Rumble hand tailors the aspects of their featured tab, a lot of which is based off time slots and other factors. If you consistently can’t show up on time (or at all), my guess is they’ll feature somebody that didNick appears to have not been featured front and center on the Rumble front page when he was streaming for large portions of the month.

Nick is a prime example of a Youtube persona going too far. It's not comedy because he is the joke. It's OK if he injects himself into his humor a bit but there has to be a reasonable distance for it still be objectively funny... his real life can't be funny in its current state because it's totally normal for real people to have a hard time laughing at themselves when they're feeling prickly. His comedy is literally now just alcoholic nonsense vaguely masking whinge under the guise of true Creator-ship. Even him and Camelot have gotten together to repackage this whinge in the form of "advice" and try to resell it as something far more. Nick can't acknowledge this decline in quality, because he's leaned so hard into this terrible fake persona, that he will just keep doubling down until the joke and his life are literally the same. His internet persona is his cope.I think the hardest thing with Nick... how to put it... my wife and I were talking about it last night.
Nick still does make some good points and he is even still funny. Sort of. I can still hear the humor that drew me to Rekieta Law in the first place. But the guy saying these things isn't the same guy that started the channel and I don't much like who he is anymore. And that gives it all a much different tint.
That point about Rumble being under higher scrutiny due to its content and audience is a valid point.
But then Nick also totally doesn't want you to fuck with other creators wink wink I love you. He is definitely hoping that so-and-so makes millions of dollars and doesn't want his business to go belly up nudge nudge I wish you the best. The content is no worse for the alcohol and discussions of romancing women at bars just to let them down I love women you are all so beautiful slurrrrrrrp.
Not saying anything new here but he has burned so much of his persona and pickled so much of his personality that you can't take him seriously even when he makes valid points. And his humor takes on a somewhat dark and creepy appearance when he's wasted all the time and totally not lusting after not-his-wife.
