Finn, you strongly underestimate just how many women love horror. In fact I would be confident to state that the majority of horror fans are women, especially if said horror has a lot of gore and violence
If you take the time to rewatch 500 Days Of Summer, it actually agrees with all the points your making about romanticizing other people based off of music interest. The movie is a commentary and critique of hipster culture making romantic decisions based off of consumerism and trendy aesthetics that don't correlate to true love or compatibility. People who decide to do that after watching the movie don't know the movie is making fun of them lol
Team America World Police is the crowning achievement of all cinema and the pinnacle of us as a species. The entire film industry (and society for that matter) has gone nothing but downhill since 2004.
*Hot tip for you Finn:* _Word on the street is theres a shipment of DVD players on it's way to a Salvation Army near you RIGHT NOW!_ *What are you waiting for? Get in the Integra!*
omg yes. It's so bizarre the way internet weirdos look up to Patrick Bateman. No one should look at him as a goal, even if you're somehow putting aside the serial killer part
There are a few that take it too literally, but then there are the cosplayers who act like they idolize it, but arent actually incels. sometimes the joke is playing along. 4chan is an EXTREMELY sarcastic place, where the lines are blurred
The opening scene of Crank where he runs out of the apartment in rage while The Refused's "New Noise" slams is, indeed, fine art! That and him slamming Amy Smart in front of a bus load of Japanese tourists 😂. Fine, fine art!😂
Wait, u gotta watch 500 Days of Summer again, cuz its basically a cautionary tale about what happens when you date a girl cuz of her music taste and bangs, going thru the tropes of manic pixie dream girl and the naivety of men chasing them is the point of the film. they break up in the end cuz she saw it as a fling and he thought he was in love. But i agree it did damage to the people who didn't get the point lol With that being said tho, Fast and Furious and Hot Rod are absolutely better and are peak cinema
500 Days is smarter than you’re giving it credit for. Part of the point is that you shouldn’t fall in love with someone based on superficial things like music taste. Though if American Psycho is anything to go by, people are inevitably gonna take it the wrong way. If internet men will idolize a serial killer they’ll idolize Gordon-Levitt Blando as well.
Did the movie have a point? Does a movie have to have a point in order to be good? I don't think so. I think 500 Days was an excellent movie, but not for the "point" you attribute to it. It was brilliant because it recreated the experience of being in love as it really is. It is almost more superficial to suppose you can choose who to fall in love with or to choose the criteria by which you fall in love and I wonder how much attention you paid to that movie. I notice the word "like" ... in other words, music is only one of the myriad "superficial" things. What else is on that list? What isn't on that list? When you meet someone, it is superficial things you notice because that is all you CAN notice? He fell for Zooey because she was whimsical and cute and spontaneous and dishy. She was the sum of parts, one of which was the fact that her favorite Beatle was Ringo. But yeah, second time watching it, she was so obviously a sociopath.
I feel very personally attacked with the double punch of Saw and 500 Days of Summer which are two of my all time fsvourite movies Do want to point out though that the thing youre making fun of with 500 Days where the guy in the elevator is putting way too much emphasis on a girl telling him he has good taste in music is literally the entire point. Hes a purposefully shallow character
Love Finn's tier lists, but it does appear Finn didn't understand 500 days of summer. The guy (Tom) is the bad guy essentially for romanticising everything
Your immunity to manic pixie dreamgirls despite being a music nerd is commendable. I am ashamed of my all-in philosophical alignment with Garden State in search of a girlfriend to complete me. Probably my biggest "what was I thinking?" shame.
@FinnMckentyPRMBA that's a bit strange to hear tbh. You have described yourself as a metal nerd in the past. Do you mean to say that that has completely changed and you're not interested in music anymore?
Hot Rod doesn't get enough credit as an 80s movie parody. People just call it a dumb late night comedy but it's structure is exactly like one. Punch dancing scene and John Farnham riot fucking kill me.
American Psycho fits neatly in the category of 'Films whose fanbase completely missed the point', right next to American History X, Taxi Driver, Wolf of Wall Street, Fight Club and Joker 🤣
I love your channel dude. You pretend to be a macho jerk that hates nerds and then you drop deep cut PS2 Squaresoft references like it’s nothing. Top tier. 😅
That fall from mountain scene from ‘hot rod’ is the most epic hilarious scene ever in comedy films，its equivalent to the bunk bed scene from ‘step brothers' 🤣
One of the biggest red flags I've come across when it comes to women is listing the Saw movies as some of their favorite movies. Just stay away from that girl. No exceptions. Just do. Future You will thank you.
Finn we hope you don't quit RUclips, but I understand if you do. Negative things do carry more weight than positive, it just weighs you down. And we as in your fans just want you to be happy, with your beautiful family and career. And we are here with you to the end.
Dont let this Tier list distrct you from the fact that Hector is gonna be running three Honda Civics with Spoon engines. On top of that, he just came into Harry’s and ordered three T66 turbos with NOS and a Motec system exhaust.
I feel like there’s a difference between a horror nerd and Sci-fi nerds. You go see horror movies on dates with girls. Sci-fi Harry Potter Pokemon dweebs go alone.
I worked with a grumpy boomer when one of the later Fast and Furious movies came out. He asked me if I had any weekend plans and told him I might see the new FF, he was dismissive and said something like "I'll never see any of those crappy remakes, the original one had John Ireland, you can't beat him."
I'll be that guy: what's wrong with the Smiths? It was "indie" before that meant rich kids like the Strokes doing some retro shtick. It's more like everything that came after that gives them a bad rep, including 500 days. As a band they were legit, like them or not.
No Smiths, no emo bands, for better or worse. It might surprise people; but I saw an interview with Phil of Pantera and they asked him what else he listens to and he said The Smiths.
The fact that Matt and Trey made Team America with puppets because of how insufferable actors are and then leaned into the whole puppet thing is just fantastic.
I used to tell everyone that Hot Rod had the single best plot of any movie, ever. So touching. I'm going to save my dad's life so I can kick his ass. Amazing!
Damn, Kelly Rowland was fine! Also, being pedantic akshually car guy, that was a green Mitsubishi Eclipse. So sorry to burst your Acura bubble, Finn. In fact, it's the Honda Integra everywhere else in the world, only and Acura in North America.
@@FinnMckentyPRMBAI see a trace of a sense of humor here in "pendants" and coke shot out of my nose. I can't tell if you're serious and the coke goes right back in.
After watching that clip from Garden State, a movie I am happy to say I have never seen, I felt my estrogen level go up about fifteen points and now feel like I need to go to a car show or Home Depot to regain homeostasis.
I saw Team America in theaters and boy what an experience. Half the audience had no idea what they were watching and the other half were dying laughing.
Don't forget the classic Monsturd about a murderous mutant poop man. His calling card was writing "Don't get caught with your pants down" on the wall with poop.
10:42 That is a demo for that, but I specifically remember in the ‘00s that chicks loved Horton movies and they still do. Like I was in high school when those movies came out and I missed out on a lot because I didn’t pick up that those were things girls liked lol
Even if i missed the whole point of the movie, fight club helped me through a pretty rough time. Not because i wanted to be the protagonist, but because it didnt make me feel alone thinking that the 9 to 5 ratrace and hyper consumerism was depressing AF.
19:00 I agree with this statement. I saw a bunch of Patrick Bateman sigma memes on Instagram when it got popular and wanted to watch American Psycho out of curiosity. The film itself makes no goddamn sense to me and I honestly have no idea why people would make memes out of this film.
Honestly it's not just Team America - South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut also still holds up. Peak Trey Parker and Matt Stone were unstoppable. Comedies in general don't hold up because our cultural sense of humor changes pretty rapidly, so it's impressive when they do. Tropic Thunder and Anchorman also still hold up.
Finn Mckenty actually seems to enjoy what he does for once. Looks somewhat enthusiastic about this topic. Why doesn't he always produce content about topics he gives a damn about?
If youre in the Saw fandom, you know its the opposite of girl repellent, those later films especially are SHOCKINGLY popular with women. My audience for Saw X was like 70% women
Your career as an "influencer" peaked with that rant about 500 days of summer. That's what perfection looks like. It's the Appetite For Destruction of film commentary, it's just too good to top. You may want to give serious consideration to having a clip of that played during your funeral service, many years from now.
Crank is awesome, and most of Jason Statham's movies are great. They're usually fun and kinda violent and he's got that cocky British attitude that's just endlessly entertaining.
I took a date to Team America and I'm pretty sure she broke up with me because I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen. She also loved The Smiths. Bullet dodged
HOT ROD is soooooooo underrated. It’s purposely cringe guys. God I love that movie. The part where he makes fun of footloose with the angry dance then falls off the hill or whatever is great. My daughter and I LOVE this movie. It’s god tier for that genre all day.
There is a performance theater & restaurant place in Fresno, CA for my local area that is actually planning to do a musical run of Legally Blonde starting in November. Actually planning to take my wife to just see when that could be like 😅
I remember the day my local emo scene dude pretty boy (who puts great effort into looking like the extremely handsome alternative frontman, but has no band and cannot sing) saw American Psycho... predictably he immediately fell in love with Patrick Bateman and started unironically posting quotes - also became loudly obsessed with replicating his routine (with the 500 crunches and expensive face creams, all that shit). Needless to say this guy doesn't have a single ex who doesn't have a story about serious emotional or physical abuse on his part. Actul sociopath, but also quite a stupid one, thankfully.
Bro called out American Psycho for people missing the point while at the same time missed the point of 500 Days of Summer. JGLs character romanticized toxic relationships because of the music he listens to like the Smiths. He thought he needed to bleed for someone he loved like the lyrics of his favorite bands described. The movie is trying to warn you about what happens when you view someone through rose colored lenses instead of realistically.
Dramas and comedies need good actors, writers, and directors. Horror gets by with a good premise, mediocre writing, and barely acceptable acting and directing.
While I dont agree with him stating (500) Days of Summer is a bad movie, I urge you all to listen to Papa Finn: In the mid 2000's, a girl with bangs complimented me on my Coheed & Cambria shirt. She became my girlfriend and fukked me up for good...
