  1. I just heard the Rickrolling music video ("never gonna give you up") and the movie Con Air were both directed by the same guy!

    Thanks to #PatrickHWillems who has an episode about music videos on both Youtube and Nebula.

  2. I've given in to subscribing to Nebula.tv (#NebulaTV). It's either $60 p.a. or if you go via the page of #PatrickHWillems (funny guy doing long-form videos about movies who also founded Nebula as far as I know) it's just $30. That's really cheap and you won't have to deal with ads and so on.

  3. An older video essay from the great #PatrickHWillems about trains in movies. Why is it such an essential vehicle in so many movies since the brothers Lumière? It restricts space and moves the plot forwards - and both things are great for propelling the plot and forcing the scriptwriters to get creative. And have you noticed that the conductor is often invisible? It's the train who is the character.

  4. @keenan didn't watch it yet, but tagging #PatrickHWillems so I can find it again.

  5. Another interesting video essay by Patrick Willems. This time it's about the Daniel Craig years of the Bond franchise and how every Bond movie seems to be motivated by two things: the cultural "mood" at the time and the urge to react to how the audience reacted to the previous instalment.

  6. Not a content creator I've heard of, and not something I'd seen before, but this random YouTube recommendation for a video from 10 years ago called "What if Wes Anderson directed X-Men?" is great stuff.

  7. This video is about #enshittification of media corporations - Warner in particular - without mentioning the term. The #CoyoteVsAcme movie is mentioned as an example but ultimately that youtuber is mad that the "TCM Wine Club", a deal where they sent a box of wine bottles and recommended classic movies to go along with them, got degraded. But his monologue goes deeper.

    (#PatrickHWillems is the same guy who recently made a video about the greatness of #SpeedRacer)

  8. I watched this 1.5 hour video on "The Death of Cinema" mostly to understand why film seems to be in decline and the #GamesIndustry isn't.

    My takeaways:
    -Even though #gaming also has major franchises, they don't crowd out mid-level games the same way tent pole movies do.
    -The Steam marketplace is much better for a medium than a Netflix subscription.

    I'm curious to hear others' thoughts, though.
