Seeing as CinemaSins makes videos about movies they like sometimes, does that make them angry, salty tards with shit tastes?

There's also plenty of times they'll praise parts of the movies the sin. Hell, in Skull Island, they kept taking multiple Sins off for John C. Riley's performance in the film.

Found an article that's at least willing to call Jordan out for being an overreacting idiot.

It’s Hollywood against the Internet.

After a miserable summer at the US box-office, Hollywood producers and others in the industry blamed movie-review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes for destroying would-be blockbusters with its oversimplified scoring system and even withheld critics screenings for some films. Now, filmmakers are targeting humorous-albeit-nitpicky YouTube channels like CinemaSins for the “dumbing down of cinema.”

CinemaSins is known for its “Everything that’s wrong with…” series on the logical flaws of different movies. It’s not exactly Mystery Science Theater, but the inane critiques have attracted 7 million YouTube followers.

Jordan Vogt-Roberts, director of Kong: Skull Island, wasn’t happy with their treatment of his film. He went on a two-day-long, 70-plus-tweet rant that was nearly as obnoxious as CinemaSins’s 20-minute video breakdown of his film.

In his electronic missive, Vogt-Roberts pointed out everything that’s wrong with CinemaSins’s “critiques,” which he says fail at being criticism or satire.

Things like this drive me crazy. This is meant to be absurd. Cinema Sins would ding pulp fiction for Jules and Vincent not getting shot… pic.twitter.com/Zzer9HpRM4

I make movies because I love film. These guys are just trolling the art form we love and profiting from it while dumbing the conversation.

It just makes me sad they get so many views / contribute to the dumbing down of cinema as they syphon other people's work for their own gain

It's like when trump lies on camera just because he can. It's infuriating and there are people out there who listen to him & cinema sins.

— Jordan Vogt-Roberts (@VogtRoberts) August 15, 2017

Comparing stupid riffs on Hollywood movies to the president of the US’s alleged lies is a leap. But there were a few good points buried in Vogt-Roberts’s sprawling reproach.

And NO, it's NOT satirizing nitpicking nerd culture. Regardless of how "self aware" they pretend to be…It IS nitpicking nerd culture.

It’s unclear why he chose to bring more attention to CinemaSins with his public tweetstorm. Even with 1.5 million views and counting, CinemaSins’s Kong: Skull Island takedown wouldn’t affect the film’s performance. It’s no longer in theaters, where it brought in a solid $567 million worldwide. Rotten Tomatoes actually called it “certified fresh.” Should it matter if a YouTube channel has a little fun with it?

Screenwriter Max Landis—whose equally long rants on social media have made him a target of scorn—was perplexed, too.

I already gave them directly to Jordan. Cinema sins is a formerly entertaining now kind of dumb channel not worthy of attention. https://t.co/KvldyYiyzq

CinemaSins has made enemies of others in Hollywood before, like Lostand The Leftovers co-creator David Lindelof. And Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson, who was peeved when CinemaSins posted a takedown of Looper in 2013.

I should be good humored about this, but it feels oddly nasty. Also it's almost all thoughtless & wrong. Ok I'll shush. http://t.co/B5O10Oe9

“There’s a little bit of sour grapes there,” said Andy Signore, co-host of Screen Junkie’s Honest Trailers, an Emmy-nominated YouTube series that parodies movie trailers. Vogt-Roberts called Honest Trailers true satire in his tweets.

“At the same time,” Signore added, “there are certain audiences members that take it too to heart and that’s just an online community that I think is more of a detriment to the film society than the makers.”

Quartz could not immediately reach CinemaSins for comment.

These fuckers in Hollywood should grow the fuck up instead of throwing tantrums like children. There is no difference between their crazy rants and that of a snowflake SJW. Both can't deal with hurt fee fees and look for victim points.

Unfortunately for them, humor is a subjective thing and just because they can REEEEE out loud on how Cinema Sins isn't funny, it doesn't excuse the fact the humor of CS can win some fans. INB4 these spergs saying the fans are garbage haters just because the nitpicking style of CS was too much that it triggered the spergs over stupid movies (legit criticism could end up being derailed if you literally have to sperg out on how something you don't like is terrible but hey, at least they can circlejerk and sperg their salt for all to see.)

Thee was also the time when they did DragonBall Evolution, where they went out of their way to add a whole bunch of sins comparing it to the source material which they normally don't do).

Yea, the show is still going, and the host, Mike David, actually has pretty decent lolcow potential himself , since he has over a decade worth of content he's been producing. I would make a thread about him if his fan's weren't so Dox happy. You gotta be a paid monthly subscriber to access any episodes that are about a year or older. I got this particular episode downloaded, where's a good place to upload it to, Mega? It's actually pretty great despite it being a decade old piece of podcast audio. The guy who ends up calling in and shit talking him into walking out sounds just like Fred Stoller, and is just as irritating.

If you still have that episode, put it up as a Mega link, my dude.

Sort-of connected to all of this, but Adam Wingard is the director for the upcoming Godzilla vs. Kong movie. Recently, his adaptation of Death Note came out on Netflix to mostly negative reviews. He's writing off anyone who's criticizing the movie and his demeanor as "trolls".

How is it that anyone who makes movies with King Kong in them is prone to chimping out (heh) on Twitter over the most inconsequential criticism?

This makes me yearn for the days when a writer of a bad fanfiction/derivative work would, upon being called out for the poor quality, answered back: "Don't like, don't read!" They at least acknowledged (however grudgingly) that their work wasn't really for everyone.

It's sad when, if compared to such luminaries of the writing world as Tara Gillesbie and Gethsemane Butler, you look like an entitled, tantrum-throwing toddler.

Seriously though, I looked at the online responses for a bit and everyone seems to hate it (either for sucking or for "whitewashing" something because manga?) I kinda want to watch it now for the shits and giggles.
