Ah, the Mummy movie people actually like.
The Camp Crystal Lake Slasher
I'm pretty sure there are people who like the original Mummy as well. Most of them are either too old or too dead to let their preferences be known, though.
Jason has come back to kill for Mommy.
Yeah, the original is considered a classic...it is just a classic nobody but the most hardcore of horror movie fans care about.
Redmess
Mainstream Obscurity is in full effect for that movie.
Optimism is a duty.
Not even sure about that since I doubt that the general audience even knows a line from the movie or how the mummy looked in it. They just know that it exist.
Redmess
That's exactly it, though, Everyone knows it exists, but they barely know the first thing about it.
It happens in literary canon all the time, too. The literary canons of the world are filled with famous poets and writers no one outside of a university reads anymore.
Optimism is a duty.
Yeah, but I doubt that those people have the "feeling" that they have seen it or know it. It's more a movie which is really known in a particular fandom, but not that well known in general. You know, like Perfect blue is really well known between anime fans, but the mainstream has no idea what that even is.
Sure they do, they just call it Black Swan.
Are they still doing the hidden "Adam!" joke anymore? Last time I distinctly rememnber seeing it was in the Infinity War video.
Not that I've seen. Also, it's "Alan!"
Perpetually Confused
I'm Sad Frogerson.
They missed the opportunity to call it "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down".
I was glad they didn't do that; I think it's lazy to basically just borrow other people's jokes(like calling the original Doctor Who "Inspector Spacetime").

Late to this, but I wanted to say Bridge to Terabithia suffered from the same marketing issues. Some useless trivia for you all.
That was a good one. Still laughing about the villain joke.
Funny video. I kinda wish they made a joke about Speed 2 like the sequel was more sillier than the 1st.
That's Dr. Title, thank you!
x5 That joke shows up a deleted scene in the Commentary on the video.
Perpetually Confused
The best part about the commentary is when they talk "What would Speed be like if made today with the current popular modern tropes?"
- Somehow the fate of the world would hang on this bus.
- There would be someone on a computer helping the protagonist
- Jeff Daniels' character would come back alive in act 3 and be revealed as The Mole
- It'd be a smokescreen to cover another crime (Taking over Earth's weather control satellite?)
- It'd be the first movie into the Boat Universe (As opposed to the studio being caught by surprised by the film's success and scrambling for a copy cat using something else that could go fast).
One bizarre thing about Speed 2 is that it's probably the film where Siskel and Ebert went against the critical consensus the most. Of the 69 reviews listed for that film on Rotten Tomatoes, they account for 2 of that film's 3 Fresh reviews.
Really? Speed 2? The movie just happened to be on last evening...it is still awful.
Perpetually Confused
Braveheart
I wonder when they're gonna do the last 3 seasons of Go T.
Not their best work. I guess they haven't realized yet that the movie is pure propaganda with very questionable undertones.
Well they did end up calling it "White Klansman" and "your dad's 300", so I'd expect theyre at least a little aware of it's problems.
That was more about Mel Gipson, not really about the movie itself. They keep pointing out how inaccurate it is, but they never really think about what kind of message the story sends.
