Man, CinemaSins really knows how to respond to this kind of thing.

It's definitely snarky youtubers who ruined "film criticism" and not armies of sperging fanboys fawning over polished turds.
 
Anyone else get the vibe that he's decided to whiteknight Looper like crazy, not just to prove that he's totally not mad about his movie getting mocked, but because he's trying to suck up to Johnson. He's directed the new Star Wars: The Last Jedi, after all.

You may know CinemaSins for their sub-standard (imo) "Everything Wrong With X" videos. Today, they put out a video on Kong: Skull Island.

That would normally be the end of it, until this ZZ Top motherfucker threw a bitchfit.

This is Jordan Vogt-Roberts, the director of Skull Island. He saw the video and lost his shit, even comparing the CinemaSins guys to Trump.

This was of course the catalyst for the salt storm to begin.

He had John Goodman read a plagiarized line from the recent Godzilla movie. And he put that in commercials as previews.

I never thought I'd celebrate the one with Jack Black.
 
The dude who wrote Saw and Insidious chimes in, also confirming himself as that killjoy in the process.

Well, that's just even more movies I'm glad I didn't see and yet another director who needs to be sacked - those films series (Saw and Insidious) were both shite to begin with and only got shittier as time went on, honestly.

If your characters have to be unnaturally stupid for your plot to advance, your plot is stupid.

Movies have been improving because of the ease with which viewers can now express their opinions and give feedback. IMO, the plots are getting smarter, more gripping, and more immersive as a result; quality is going up. These guys want to go back to the days when you could just fling any crap on the screen and the audience would hoot at it, because it's easier.

They want to be kings instead of merchants, like in the Good Ol' Days.
 
What's really surprising is that it's mainly young(ish) directors REEEing about this. You could see why some old dude who started making movies in the 70s doesn't understand that today anyone with an internet connection can review, pick apart, trash or praise your movie but these guys?

It actually makes more sense that it would be younger dudes, to me.

If you think all creative output is entirely subjective (as in, nothing is good or bad, because you cannot quantify goodness or badness), and that there is absolutely no line between art and media product (what is being called "content" at this point), it follows that it's "mean" and "nitpicking" to not embrace any given piece of content on the merits of it being a glorious and inherently respectable outcome of "passion"and "hard work." It's not just that "good" or "bad" are subjective at that point--it's that it's irrational, to them, to think good and bad exist. So, if good and bad don't really exist, saying their work is bad? Is just being a dick to be a dick. And, how dare you.

An old dude in the 70's came from a whole different way of thinking about movies.
 
The way these guys are reacting to a group of self-described "assholes who watch movies", you'd think laws or religious doctrines were being written based on their opinions.

It reinforces to me that they view us all as blank slates, impressionable and easily duped, and therefore every thought we encounter must be carefully selected, edited, and polished lest we be tricked into becoming Literally Hitler.
 
I'm honestly surprised that the director of this turd was dead serious about it. I thought it was supposed to be a pastiche. A big budget b-movie shitpost like Sharknado 5. Instead, I find out this guy thinks he's more of a Spielberg than a Corman.
