Just the fact that James was able to fund and produce a full-length movie based on AVGN was something incredible. Clearly a lot of hard work was put into making it happen.
Wow James, imagine if you did the whole movie the way you like too instead of pretending to be a real Hollywood director. You were in love with the fantasy, and that's all it is. The funny thing is, your buddy even did most of the directing. You were living this director fantasy all in your mind even while you were in Hollywood lmao. I dunno I feel like I'm picking on a special ed kid. I wouldn't crush their dreams like this even if it was all a lie. The truth is he wouldn't have attained it either way. So whatever, let James keep living in this fantasy world where he fulfilled his Hollywood dream if it makes him happy.
@@lian2rozen That was nice of you to let James know what he was thinking all those years ago. Too bad his movie wasn't as good as the one you directed...What movie was that again?
Hey James long time fan here thank you for making me laugh all these years I've watched you through some dark times do you always put a smile on my face I know when I say this everybody will agree thanks for the fun times and more to come
10 years without a significant movie release or even hinting at a release, its probably not going to happen. And I don't mean theater releases. I mean Cinemassacre has not had any long form scripted theatrical video/movie releases in that time period. AVGN not withstanding.
@@thejunkman Why would I think that a low budget studio like Cinemassacre would be releasing movies in theaters? Also, notwithstanding is one word and I really don't care what you have to say about it. I still want it to happen, lol but cool fucking opinion.
Yeah, I still have my the Angry Video Game Nerd Movie on Blu-ray, it's still impressive to make special effects on a low budget independent movie like this.👍
Hell yeaaaahhhh! Btw James, I’ve wanted to get the Blu Ray of your movie for YEARS now, but I always find it hard or expensive to order it to Scandinavia. Is it something cinemassacre can do about this?
If I had to guess, it's either because it wasn't the most well received, or because it isn't the movie James wanted to make as much as his dream film (I believe he has stated he has wanted to do a theatrical thriller/horror film). Or it could be as simple as him being humble about his project.
that was awsome james, i'm glad you put this on youtube and show us all the behind the scenes stuff on how you made the movie and i must say i REALLY enjoyed the movie it was very awsome i'm glad you were able to make it and have it for all of us to enjoy i really like the AVGN series too i'm really enjoying that too your a really cool dude for doing all of this keep up the awsomeness my dude i just love everything you do.
I think that this was the AVGN endgoal, and after that, all the things he did with the character felt stale to him. Shame, loved his vids before our favorite Screenwave guys took over.
@@slowfuse Well, there are some plot holes, I don't really understand why literally everyone that comes across the Nerd knows him and treats him like a God in this movie and, I don't like that they cut a funny af scene where Cooper and the Nerd run over an old lady.
Damn this Is almost Toho quality of effects. AWESOME. I swear I got to make one or lots of films like this before becoming a father, the more I watch this the more I want to get into filming.
James could not make a good or entertaining movie with a big budget. Why would we think a low budget film will have any different result? No thanks. Stick to AVGN stuff. Video reviews and all this film stuff isn't your thing clearly James.
TBH it felt more like a 2-hour long AVGN episode than a movie (though I guess that’s kinda what it was going for?), but I still enjoyed it for what it is.

“She is not a girl, she is a gamer” “I’m not wearing any panties” “Butch Barbie” “I thought I could get through this without objectifying myself in a “sexy catfight”, but I guess that is impossible now.” It is made abundantly clear through this movie that Bimmy has absolutely no idea how to write female characters. To be fair, none of the male characters of the film are written any better, but shit these lines were so cringey. To think I didn’t even watch it or pay money until 2021. All that time to have learned just how bad it was.
Low budget, he had over $300,000.00. That ain't low budget chief just because he was dumb.enough to shoot in L A. Clerks 1 was made on low budget, Bimmy had over 30x the budget that movie had, and it still turned out horrendous.
After watching James for literal decades, it always makes me so happy to watch James live his dream and do what makes him happy
def
He actually hated this whole movie process and would not do it again (his words)
He fucked up by going the hollywood route & gave up after failing 1 time.
Just the fact that James was able to fund and produce a full-length movie based on AVGN was something incredible. Clearly a lot of hard work was put into making it happen.
Agreed 😊
Wasn't it funded mostly by fans?
@@LukeKubinec yeah... and some of the incentives werent given out.. :|
@@Fambini
Yup, and his die hard fans don’t like to talk about that. Rolfe can’t be criticized…
@@anton1990 Look. He has kids. Do you want him to suffer?
Man I still remember seeing the film updates and their trailer reveal in the theatre somewhere in Hollywood.
Yeah, and the movie was bad. I mean it sux

29:45, nothing but good memories. I hear he likes baseball.
I miss him
Do baseball!
No time for memories.
Excellent example of "work harder, not smarter". I would add more, but it's almost 5:40
I love behind-the-scenes stuff.
Big Ryan fan btw
Yes he is very stuffed up
Yeah. It's a 50 minute video of 💩 that should've never been in the movie
There's truly something special about a guy in a suit destroying miniatures
Thank you James and crew! We appreciate all your effort. I remember how hyped everybody was about this great project.
There is nobody left of the original crew.
No matter what anyone says, this is still one of my favorite movies of all time. I wish we could have gotten a sequel.
Hey James long time fan here thank you for making me laugh all these years I've watched you through some dark times do you always put a smile on my face I know when I say this everybody will agree thanks for the fun times and more to come
RUclips and online entertainment wouldn’t be the same without Cinemassacre!
Thanks for OVER A DECADE of fun and laughs ❤❤❤❤
I still have Angry Video Game Nerd Movie Theme on my morning alarm
44:12 The genuine sound of getting the shot you want, and it looks amazing to boot!
10 years ago, damn. Does not seem like a decade has passed!
That costume is amazing.
All that effort... for something that doesn't add to the story at all.
I like how you made the 90s style looks like 90s
Had the privilege of being a compositor on this film, still got the raw files somewhere! haha
Amazing movie. Thanks for taking us along
This stuff is always awesome. I really want Cinemassacre to become a low budget film making powerhouse.

@@DS-bz7de xd
I'm jealous. I filmed an incredible number of movies in film school, but never got a chance to actually make something I could call my own.
The sole reason he made the movie is so he could analyse it years later and act like a pretentious auteur when talking about it
@@carlosextrada608 You sound lonely
12:20 Imagine if he hadn't taken the costume off and had just gone to lunch with the suit still on.
Just got your book. Loving it so far! Thanks for showing us so much behind the scenes stuff. It's super fun to watch.
@@redacted2275 I didn't mean it literally
Still have my physical signed copy :)
"The majority of the budget was spent on buying a house" fixed that quote for you.
And you’re still around ten years later you vulture
One day you guys should do AVGN The Movie 2, but have it focus on the nerd.
I thought he spent so much money on permits to shoot in LA. which is a complete waste of money.
Correct
I don't really care what people think of the movie, I have a lot of respect for the work that went into it.
@@redacted2275 i don't care what the fan reception is.
Hell yeaaaahhhh! Btw James, I’ve wanted to get the Blu Ray of your movie for YEARS now, but I always find it hard or expensive to order it to Scandinavia. Is it something cinemassacre can do about this?
The biggest crime was neglecting Mike
This movie definitely crushed this man emotionally and mentally. He hasn't been in the same since.
You mean Matei, right?
Yes
I enjoyed the AVGN movie, it was probably too ambitious for its own good but it's a great achievement. Love hearing all this behind the scenes stuff.
❤ this is huge thanks James!!
How come James never really talks about this movie? It’s like it never existed
If I had to guess, it's either because it wasn't the most well received, or because it isn't the movie James wanted to make as much as his dream film (I believe he has stated he has wanted to do a theatrical thriller/horror film). Or it could be as simple as him being humble about his project.
He mustn't be that proud of it
Instead of making an AVGN movie. He made a bland rip off just like Hollyweird likes.
Read his book 📖
@@Doc141 I would but alas no time.

Practical effects always look better to me. While you can use CGI to clean up small details it's different to touch something
James is really good at making youtube videos
AVGN: The Movie. A Kevin Finn film.
I really love this movie, despite it's flaws.
what flaws?
The movie was a flaw.
@@slowfuse Well, there are some plot holes, I don't really understand why literally everyone that comes across the Nerd knows him and treats him like a God in this movie and, I don't like that they cut a funny af scene where Cooper and the Nerd run over an old lady.
I love seeing behind the scenes! Even for the nerd episodes let alone the movie! Always awesome to see these kind of things :)
This is so awesome to see, thanks for the share !!!
It is completely sad that how the movie was completely got gutted
Always awesome to see behind the scenes with the nerd and James
Hahaha! That looked like tons of fun!
Lol
Love you James. And I loved the movie
47:11 imagine if that laugh would've been kept for the actual movie. I would've lost it
Oh yeah that's right, Bimmy made a movie 10 years ago. Why doesn't he ever mention it?
Damn this Is almost Toho quality of effects. AWESOME. I swear I got to make one or lots of films like this before becoming a father, the more I watch this the more I want to get into filming.

Finally got around to watching this movie…. Wow it was bad. But kudos for finally doing a movie.
No wonder James keep running out of *time* 😂

It’s cool this is finally uploaded!

It didn't
Interesting that the east coast and last minute shooting is the stuff I enjoyed most in the movie.
I thought it sounded way stuffed up

Look at these winners.
THIS WAS TEN YEARS AGO!? JEEEEEEEESUS
Awesome.
If he would made a movie like his Megaman episode, it would have been so successful.
It was very successful financially
Oh, I need to see this movie!
The movie was an absolute train wreck but I’m glad that James had some fun doing it.
10:22 "no he feels kinda like a giant goofball"
I love this!
No time to watch the whole thing
Hi Matei

Now that the book is out we know that he was indeed a special ed kid lol.
awesome work , glad everybody was having fun making it.
AVGN The Movie is one of my all time favorite films. Hands down
It's a 50 minute video of sht that should've never been in the movie
Aah, the time James set out to make a movie worse than the worst NES game ever produced
Would've been cool if you didn't revoke my rights to the copy I purchased from youtube so many years ago.
Say what you want about the movie. You can't deny the dedication and passion James (along with everyone else) had for this movie.
