Honest Trailers

I don't get when this became such a big deal:

• To the people supposedly offended: this franchise has been about killing Nazis since inception. Literally, you fight giant cyborg Hitler at one point.
• To the people claiming people are offended: Up until now, I've heard nothing about Nazi sympathy except that people are upset that the Nazis aren't "historically accurate."

Wolfenstein isn't a new franchise, and anyone seriously stating that "killing Nazis is wrong" is being willfully facetious, or was sleeping under a rock when the last Wolfenstein game came out. Which wasn't that long ago. I get the impression this was a lot of trolling Up To Eleven.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!

No, there were legitimate Nazi sympathizers complaining about this. I wish they were just trolling but most of them weren't.

Yep, there were even some Alt-Right websites attempting to get a boycott going for it.

So you've heard nothing of the whole "controversy" towards punching Nazis. I've seen the comments, they're a huge flurry of this kind of alt right bullshit.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

Twenty bucks say some of those boycotts involved people already having bought the game and then smashing them to show MachineGames and Bethesda who's boss.

Hitokiri in the streets, daishouri in the sheets.

My God. When everyone said The Room was bad, i didn't realize it was that bad. This is one movie i'm not watching. The James Franco's Making of The Room movie is way more interesting.

The Room is one of those movies where you have to watch it with someone else in the room. Otherwise you'll be too creeped out by those 3 minutes of asscheeks.

Jason has come back to kill for Mommy.

The sex scenes were weird in general. I remember watching it with aqutaintances and just asking: "Is he screwing her naval right now?"

It's a good movie to riff on, mainly because of how genuine it still seems to be. That's someone's honest attempt at making a movie and ending up making a bad one. It's not someone doing a bad movie on purpose.

Welcome to Estalia, gentlemen.

A good way to look at the backstory is The Room is Good Will Hunting, but incompetent. Same general idea of an actor making his own screenplay and getting it filmed.

The supreme irony of all this is The Disaster Artist is getting Oscar buzz. Imagine if The Room led to an Oscar winning film. Tommy Wiseau will have indirectly won a freaking Academy Award.

Similar things have happened before.

Ceterum censeo Morbillivirum esse eradicandum.

Except Ed Wood didn’t live to see it.

Also Ed Wood made way, way way more movies (With better actors!)

Don't forget Florence Foster Jenkins, though in that case it was a movie about a bad singer rather than a bad filmmaker.

You know what would have been funnier after Jon said that? Accompanying gameplay footage of Star Wars Battlefront II (2017).

Though I'm guessing that'll be the subject of next week's Honest Game Trailers.

"Learn as if you will live forever, live as if you will die tomorrow."

I think he'll save that for the week The Last Jedi comes out.

January they let the fans vote for the films.

Whoa, didn't realize everyone in the movie was a jerk. Then again, we were all kids when we saw this movie. Also, I was expecting they were gonna make fun of how Tim Allen became more conservative and less funny after this movie.

I'm surprised they didn't do (Tim Allen noise) for his character.

Jason has come back to kill for Mommy.

Tim Allen noise?

EDIT: The Commentary on the Honest Trailer covers in more details how everyone's a jerk.

This is what I mean by (Tim Allen noise).

LA Noire really needs a sequel someday. Maybe after they are done with Red Dead Redemption 2.

Optimism is a duty.

Unfortunately LA Noire was made by Australian Team Bondi which has now become defunct due to a scandal of long working hours and unpaid wages. Even if there is a sequel, it won't be made by the same team.

Now all of the current Star Wars movies before the Last Jedi have been given the Honest Trailer treatment.
