Brows Held High

I voted for Gnomeo and Juliet out of sheer sadism.

Yeah, I feel like most people did.

I'd prefer people vote based on what films they think Kyle has interesting opinions on, but what're you gonna do, I guess.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.

I voted based on which movies I have actually watched. They're the ones it'll be interesting for me to watch a review of.

Kyle probably has interesting opinions on all of them, though.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say.

Ceterum censeo Morbillivirum esse eradicandum.

I doubt he would have put them on the list if he didn't think he could talk about them.

Oh God! Natural light!

And even if he didn't, he would probably do the necessary research.

I wish he would review Ran. It's on my DVD collection.

I like that Romeo X Juliet the anime is on this list. It's got my vote.

Well, I am pretty interested in seeing what Kyle thinks of Shakespeare's work/other classic literature being sanitised into a mediocre children's film for the sake of a pun, and how it reflects their standing in modern culture.

Kyle: "I'm actually really curious about Gnomeo and Juliet."

Can't wait to see him livetweet it.

Well, well...

I really wanted Romeo × Juliet :<

I really wanted it too, and Kyle's befuddlement at Gnomeo and Juliet.

New video!

I like that it was a relatively early one, and getting into the stuff that went behind it (art movements the directors reaction against it). I also find the idea of the movie interesting it probably would be neat to watch (and I'm sure I can watch it since it's in the public domain).

I don't always get around to watching Brows Held High videos these days, but this video reminded me why I should. I had to outright stop myself from applauding at the end of that and waking up my sister in the next room.

but HOW?

...It occurs to me that this video might have given me a name for a character I was considering writing, and a possible inspiration for that character.

Oh God! Natural light!

"Thanks, Communism!"

I need a .gif of "Thanks...communism...".

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.

Really helpful for me as a writer. I'd been trying to figure out why some montages in movies bothered me as cliche and others worked fine and didn't set off alerts in my head.

Aaaaaah Todd and Kyle have new videos out today!

Well that was a depressing ending. Thanks, Zach Snyder...

Kyle's photoshop skills are really shining more and more.

I think the ending was a little heavy-handed. The video could have done without it if he wanted to ignore Snyder's films and just focus on the Silver Age movies.

(V)(;,,;)(V)

He clearly was building towards Snyder's films killing Superman, hence all the 'God is Dead, and we have killed him,' stuff.

Despite my screen-name, ranting to you about One Piece is not my top priority.

Yeah, I don't think this was really focused solely on the Silver Age stuff - it seemed to cover a general history of Superman, up to and including Snyder's films. Saving Snyder until the end adds a great deal of impact to it, in my opinion.

Back to Shakespeare

(V)(;,,;)(V)

I hated reading Harold Bloom in college...

Can't wait for Shakespeare to be broadcast IN SPACE! (It probably already has, due to radio waves, but you know what I mean.)

Really, really in space.

I went to the reconstructed Globe theatre once in London. My contribution to the conversation

I didn't even know the Globe had been destroyed. I thought that was made up for the Roland Emmerich film, Anonymous.
