Damn. I've heard of thin skin before, but I think Kyle doesn't even have that.

Brad made the right choice in dumping him.
Brad pretends to be a priss on a weekly schedule, and he has his own cult following because of it.

Kyle's an actual priss on an irregular schedule, and has far less of an audience because of it.

Also, is Brad the only Channel Awesome member who lost weight since he joined?
Look at those cheeks goddamn.JPG
 
^Really? What happened?

Kyle always seemed like an ass. He seems to get offended by everything...

I'll try to be brief:

Kyle uploaded a review of Crispin Glover's film What Is It?

NSFW


It's essentially an avant-garde dark comedy featuring a cast of people with down syndrome. You could say whatever you want, it's artsy fartsy or whatever, but it's meant to be provocative. I personally liked it. Here's the thing; this movie and the followup It Is Fine are not publicly available. The only way to see them is to go to Glover's show. And you get your money's worth FYI. He does a reading and this is one of the pieces he does on his tour so you get the idea:


He shows the movie, does a Q&A, then has a meet and greet where you can talk to him for a few minutes and BS about Back to the Future if you want. All I can tell you is that he's a nice guy and I'd recommend his show if you like fucked up weird shit like Eraserhead or The Holy Mountain.

So Kyle uploads a review of What Is It, but he uses footage from a torrent of the movie that's illegal. He say's that you can download it on the internet and all that. He also didn't like the movie and said as much per his usual pretentious BS. Glover finds his review, slaps him with a DMCA, emails him requesting he take it down largely because he uses footage from the movie from a bootleg and advertises said bootleg. Kyle bitches about this in one of his videos about Glover. I explained in the comments for said video why the movie isn't publicly available and why Glover was in the right. And the reason why both movies aren't publicly available are because Glover personally invested his money into making them and the best way to recoup cost is to do a tour.

Kyle's sister/twin/friend/cameraman bitches me out in the comments and say's that Glover is insane and this and that. She's pretty hideous looking tbqh and you can see her in a few of his videos. I explained my point again. And in the very next video of Kyle's, it's a film with Crispin Glover in it, and Kyle blurs out Glover's face and say's "I don't want to talk about this guy right now."

TLDR: Kyle is a bitch.

He's a fucking dick. Whether the DMCA is or isn't a great idea (it mostly isn't), it shows a complete lack of respect for the artist to do this.

Fair use is generally available for movies that have been commercially released, with or without the permission of the author, but in this case, the author took great pains to keep it from being presented outside of a very limited release, and anyone who saw it and secretly recorded it is pretty much a jerk, and may have breached a contract not to do that. I'm pretty sure you're supposed to agree not to do that to attend a viewing.

That doesn't necessarily take it entirely out of fair use, but it would certainly be taken into account in a fair use analysis if it ever came to litigation.

It does, however, make it a capital letters Dick Move, and actually pimping the torrent is a side of Jerk Sauce.

Seriously fuck this guy. What an asshole.

It hurts me when someone clearly makes something they really are passionate about have it shat upon by Dicks like Kyle.

The fact Kyle's not only using illegally obtained footage of someone's personal pet project, but pimping the torrent of it somehow makes it worse than if it were just him using the footage. This isn't a case of DCMA/Fair use bullshit they like to parade about like a banner (though admittedly, there is some truth to the bullshit regarding unfair DMCA takedowns and the like). This is a case of someone being a pretentious asshole and defending his utterly irresponsible actions by waving said "fair use" excuse once his video was (rightfully) flagged down.

Brad was right in dumping his sorry ass. because if that's what he had to put up with on a regular basis, Kyle deserves all the hate and scorn he gets. Hell, I'm surprised it never happened sooner.

He still wouldn't have been able to get away with just using footage from the bootleg because the bootleg version has a huge watermark on the bottom of the screen saying "NOT FOR REDISTRIBUTION. PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE." You'd think Kyle would take the hint there.

So I found a blog that all he does is bitch about Brad Jones's personal life. blog tagline."This is a blog dedicated to telling the world why the Cinema Snob Sucks, there are many reasons for this so check it out and tell me what you think."

Also CR is one of the more underrated content creators. Does anyone remember when they got Ross of Freeman's mind for a while but because of their 4 videos a month they dropped him.

I agree entirely, CR's criminally underrated.

Yes, they did get Accursed Farms for a while but dropped him, which I thought was a dumb as hell move on their part. Ross' reviews are always great and I look forward to his videos and am sure to always watch them. I'm genuinely glad he seems to be inching towards being able to do that sort of thing full time, especially if he gets his film out there.

I once talked to CR, he is a really cool dude.
And yea Ross's game dungeon is always one of my bimonthly highlights, hope the movie is fun as hell
 
Well, no skits thankfully. I haven't seen a new video of his for a long time so I'm not sure he's cutting down on skits or he just doesn't do them in his "Top ten"/Editorial vids.

He doesn't seem to do them in Top 11's (how could he work them in?)

I would like to say that I actually do like the alternate ending to Die Hard With A Vengeance.

Haven't seen hatless Doug Walker in a while. Jesus Christ, the motherfucker's getting balder every day.
EDIT: I shut the video off after I cringed my way through 30 seconds of Doug's "funny" song at the beginning.
