What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 140

Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.

Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?

I recommend you check out the following videos I found.

#1 Retro Videos Of Scary Movie (2000) – Some of you might be aware that a brand new Scary Movie (2026) is coming out very soon. Although it’s nice to see Anna Faris and the Wayans brothers in the trailer of the new movie, I am not very motivated to see it. That said, I am more nostalgic about the original Scary Movie of 2000 and that film is significant as there are many retrospective videos about it in YouTube. As such, I posted below the selected videos of Scary Movie (2000) for your enjoyment.

#2 How Tekken 3 Was Made Possible On PlayStation – When I first played Tekken 3 in the arcades in 1997, I was already an avid fan of Tekken 2 which I played a lot on the PlayStation console. Back then, I wondered how Namco would be able to port Tekken 3 on PlayStation are the arcade version had much more powerful hardware. A year later, Tekken 3 was released on PlayStation and I played it a lot. The more I played it, the more impressed I was with how the game looked and felt on PlayStation. Not only that, Tekken 3 on PlayStation had features that the original arcade version did not offer. To find out how Namco made the “impossible port” of Tekken 3 using the PlayStation’s aging hardware, watch the video below.

#3 1990s NBA Plays That Are Still Great To Watch – Remember how exciting NBA basketball action was back in the 1990s? It was during the 1990s when the NBA became a global phenomenon, when the NBA had such super stars like Michael Jordan, Reggie Miller, Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal and others who made great basketball plays. Back in those days, the Internet was slowly emerging and there obviously was no social media to amplify the great NBA moments. Posted below is a video that looks back at sixty great NBA plays that would have rocked the world had social media existed much earlier.

#4 Lunch At Ginza – Have you ever been to Ginza when you visited Japan? For the newcomers reading this, Ginza is the premier upscale district in Tokyo famous for shopping, fine dining and entertainment. Believe it or not, there are places in Ginza where visitors can have lunch at affordable rates and be satisfied. Watch and learn from the Nippon TV video below.

#5 You, Me And The Movies React To Resident Evil: Degeneration – When the computer-generated movie Resident Evil: Degeneration was released in 2008, it created a lot of buzz for the dedicated fans of the Resident Evil video games, particularly those who followed the iconic characters Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield (the Resident Evil 2 characters). The limited theatrical releases did not stop the movie from achieving good box office numbers and it went on to sell a lot on DVD and Blu-ray later. But has the movie aged well and does anyone here enjoy it more than the live-action Resident Evil movies of Milla Jovovich? Watch the reaction video below and observe how it impacts You, Me and the Movies.

#6 Shoplifting Rampage By Hijabi Muslim Goes Very Wrong – Did you notice any woman wearing a hijab who engaged in theft lately? Overseas, someone committed shoplifting and things went very wrong. If you manage a store or if you care much about preventing the crime of theft from happening, you better watch the video below and pay close attention to the details. Do not let the Islamists manipulate you and never let them terrorize you.

#7 Origin of The Jackal – You ever heard of The Jackal in comic books? The Jackal is one of Spider-Man’s super villains and he is involved in one of the most tragic events of the icon’s life and also in the sagas about clones. Veteran creator J.M. DeMatteis called the Jackal as “a terrific villain.” To get to know more about the Jackal, watch the video below.

#8 Rhetorical Thrill Reacts To Toy Soldiers – Remember back in the 1990s when there was a slew of action or adventure films with terrorists as the antagonists? This was the so-called “Die Hard effect” in reference to the 1988 classic action film that starred Bruce Willis. In 1991, the movie Toy Soldiers was released and it was about an all-male boarding school that got occupied by terrorists, and only a group of rebellious students can achieve a breakthrough. Recently, Rhetorical Thrill posted her reaction video about Toy Soldiers and it is entertaining to watch.

Movie TV Tech Geeks #MovieNews #TheJackal #BruceWillis #Tubi Bruce Willis' Forgotten 'The Day of the Jackal' Remake Is a Free Streaming Success http://dlvr.it/TP1KRm

Dunque, del mondo YouTube so poco o niente ma conosco i #TheJackal da parecchi anni e mi sono sempre tendenzialmente piaciuti.

Soprattutto, ho apprezzato il loro percorso generale:

dalle amabili cazzate come Vandammo a piccoli capolavori come The Parker e 30 Anni, mettendoci i tormentoni di Gomorra e Gay Ingenui.

Da qualche tempo ho smesso di seguire i nuovi video: vidi la prima stagione di Pesci Piccoli (completamente scordata) e oggi per curiosità ho buttato un occhio sulla seconda ma...

Boh?

Non saprei spiegare come mai oggi mi lascino tanto freddo: sono professionisti, genuinamente napoletani (sempre un bel plus per me), ottima incarnazione del mondo millennial italico, però...Non so.

È tipo quando pensi che un giocatore diventerà il nuovo fenomeno generazionale e invece resta un eterno Quaresma (con tutto il rispetto)

Of The Day Of The Jackal

The Day Of The Jackal

https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/becomingthemuse/episodes/The-Day-Of-The-Jackal-Review-e30hqk7

The Day Of The Jackal is a British spy thriller television series, based on a Frederick Forsyth novel of the same name. The series premiered on the 7th of November 2024 and got renewed for a second season in its first month of running.

The series is a modern reimagination of the story about a deadly and ruthless assassin, known only as “the Jackal” and the intelligent officer obsessed with bringing him to justice.

The Good

Years ago when I first read The Day Of The Jackal by Frederick Forsyth, I thought it was one of the coolest assassin books I had ever read, and The Jackal’s character was forever etched into my memory. Then I watched The Jackal a late 90s loose adaptation of the story starring Bruce Willis which didn’t do a particularly good job… This series manages to do the things that brought this character back to life and re-imagines the story in a present day setting.

Eddie Redmayne‘s portrayal of the Jackal is compelling, lending the character a cold ruthlessness tempered with an uncharacteristic empathy that belies a surprising depth of humanity. Yes, he is the bad guy, but you find yourself hoping that he gets away with it.

Lashana Lynch as Bianca Pullman plays her character so well that even though she’s the good guy she becomes the person you love to hate, for her ruthless pursuit of The Jackal that is obsessive and leaves collateral damage. You don’t want her to catch the The Jackal, so how will it play out…

It’s a thriller show which will keep you on the edge of your seat from its high octane opening sequence to the cat-and-mouse chase that unfolds between The Jackal and the agent out to get him.

The Bad

While Lashana Lynch’s performance is great her character is abrasive and her story arc is under-developed, lacking the depth and intensity that The Jackal’s character has; given that we are suppose to relate to the two characters as being two sides of the same coin.

The pacing can get a bit erratic with some convoluted subplots  that dilute the tension and takeaway from the main plot without meaningful addition to the story or characters.

The Ugly

The villain is more likeable than the good guy, the show romanticises villainy making the assassin more humane than the agent trying to stop the assassin.

I feel the show missed a moment to showcase what I think is one the most iconic twists in the novel, which was how Jackal is Chacal in French which was a combination of the assassin’s name Charles Calthrop… in the series he goes by the unassuming name of Alex Duggan.

Final Thoughts

The Day Of The Jackal offers a fresh take on a classic, with strong performances and moments of brilliance from the cast especially Eddie Redmayne who plays The Jackal.

Have you watched The Day Of The Jackal is it something you would watch.

Wow! #TheJackal starring Eddie Redmayne is sooo bad. ‘Ruthless assassin?’ Hahahaha! Watered down nonsense. Day turning suddenly into night (continuity anyone?), CIA operatives who have the same accuracy as Stormtroopers and a script that sounds like it was written by AI. Avoid.
