      A bit late to the party but re: milk bag
      It used to be the De Facto way to buy milk in Quebec. When I was younger it was the only way to buy milk where I lived. But as time progressed, it is slowly being phased out.
      I'd say milk bag still represent roughly 1/4 of the total milk sold in Quebec to this day.

    I hated watching Doctor Sleep. Not because of anything in the movie itself, but because of how during the scene where Ewan mcgregor looks through the hole in the door, some dude in the front of the theatre screamed out loud "HERE'S JOHNNY" while another person in the back said "HELLO THERE". Both ppl said it at the exact same time
    I fucking hate modern moviegoers

      Adum: So we have a recommendation. Spoilers for the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy review by Anthony Fantano.
      Alex: Ugh.
      Adum: So what are our thoughts on this controversial... piece of criticism?
      Ralph: You wanna start Alex?
      Alex: Okay. Anthony Fantano is a good friend of the show...
      Adum: Is or was?
      Alex: We'll get into that, okay? We even invited him to the... was it the Dancer in the Dark discussion?
      Adum: He was our first guest!
      Alex: Yes. Very renowned youtuber and all that, biggest music review channel on the platform... And I am very conflicted to say that I might actually hate him now. It's this situation where I am close to questioning if I really like his other videos anymore. Obviously I try not to let my feelings affect how I judge someone's work, but this was just... awful.
      Adum: This is not a review!
      Ralph: Oh yeah.
      Adum: It's actually hateful - it's one of those cases when a person lets their emotionally charged opinions just destroy any criticisms that might have been made. I did not expect this amount of bias or the... problematic elements? You can't just slip all those "I'm a realist" and "Kanye has specific cultural baggage" and expect everyone to look past it. It's not how it works!
      Ralph: It is so obvious, does he think everyone's a moron? The "Deus Vult" shirt, the fucking... what did he say? "Kanye's skull is far from gorgeous?"
      Adum: Totally transparent. it's crazy how the burning cross did not get him banned.

    It's good to see they didn't leave out any of the tasty details when talking about Naked Lunch. Although I would have to completely disagree with them saying that Cronenberg managed to adapt the novel because as someone who has read it, they don't bare much resemblance. The novel is literally impossible to adapt, there were a handful of things that are taken from the novel and used in the movie. If it was a full adaptation rather than a very loose adaptation/biopic the film would be a nearly incomprehensible mess and veer more into being social cosmic horror.

    • @ThreadBomb
      @ThreadBomb 4 года назад +1

      Yes, I was hoping someone made this point in the comments. The movie contains a few elements from the book and a bit of the tone, but is basically entirely different. Cronenberg basically invented a story using Burroughs's life story spiced up with some famous bits from the book. The actual book is unfilmable.

    In Ready Player One, Spielberg flat out copied Kubrick, just as he did in AI. He clearly understands him, as he was a close friend, but I think he was trying so hard it became distracting.
    That's why I liked Dr Sleep's recreation of the Overlook so much. The place is familiar but it looks quite different. Flanagan and his DP have a very particular visual style based around muted colors, with mostly blue and yellow tones slightly intensified. It gives it an almost dreamlike sensation for me. And I really respect a director taking two things he loves but have been fighting for so long and trying to bring them together. Even if I can aknowledge the flaws in the end product, it's a movie I really enjoyed.

    I really liked Doctor Sleep, not as much as the group I saw it with, but it's definitely Mike Flanagan and better than 80% of most generic horror movies. It's no Shining, but it's enjoyable. Most audience members seem to like this movie, so if you were wanting to see it but this made you unsure, I'd say to give it a go.

    A bit late to the party but re: milk bag
    It used to be the De Facto way to buy milk in Quebec. When I was younger it was the only way to buy milk where I lived. But as time progressed, it is slowly being phased out.
    I'd say milk bag still represent roughly 1/4 of the total milk sold in Quebec to this day.

    I just want to say that in regards to Doctor Sleep i'm glad its more Stephen King than Stankey Kubrick just because I don't think it could even hope to match up. I think the only reason that movie worked as well as it did was because they recognized their limitations and went in a different direction. And I do think Doctor Sleep is a little bit underrated. Its not perfect and its absolutely not on the same level as The Shining but I feel its positives outweigh its negatives.

    @Scarecrowbooger 4 года назад +1

    Sardonicast's review seemed like they overlooked major parts of the movie. Their main point was horror movie not scary equals bad movie. To be fair though horror is subjective, what I find scary may not scare you. However in their review they overlooked scary themes such as The True Knot stalking and kidnapping children only to viciously torture them to exactract The Shine. Other things missed are the fear of death, alcohol abuse, and the effects of having an abusive parent especially becoming that abusive parent when you're older. (which was the main point of the final act)
    Ok sure perhaps the movie isn't your conventional Hollywood scary with jumpscares, but they neglected to mention the great character work, plot, visuals and acting.
    The movie is a continuation of Daniel Torrance's character, exploring the results of having an abusive and estranged father. In the movie there's this powerful scene with Daniel explaining how he didn't truly know his father and after Jack had died the moment in Daniel's life where he understood his father was when he himself was an alcoholic. In this scene alone you can see all the pain that his father did to him when he was a child as well as all the pain he felt as an adult, and it creates this Sins of the father paralel with the two characters. Where one chose evil for his own selfish desires and the other wishes to not become the evil that raised him. This is further explored in the third act of the movie at the Overlook Hotel where Dan confronts his father in order to gain some kind of acceptance. In that scene Jack or in this case Loyd (staying true to the Kubrick film) neglects him and chooses to bribe his son with the same thing that took him away all those years ago. However Daniel stays strong and further tries to reach out to his father, but this is responded with cold hearted remarks as is the real life case, some people will never change.
    Mind you these scenes are done with phenomenal acting and directing and I was left confused why those guys didn't mention this. Am I looking too far into things?
    (Probably, but I only saw the movie twice.)
    This ain't even the only example of good character work in the movie, Rose The Hat in my opinion was one of the best antagonists in recent years. She has a clear motive, she wants her and her friends to survive. The only way to do that is to feast off of The Shine from others. The real scary part to her character is all the boundaries she's willing to cross, not even batting an eye at murdering children. If that's not enough for you well the actress Rebecca Ferguson has a family dynamic with the other members of The True Knot, she also brings charisma to her performance to try to entice people with her offer of immortality almost coming off resembling an interpretation of Satan. To me I was shocked when the reviewers said she was annoying in the movie, because I know that most audiences loved her performance.
    The character of Abra was almost completely absent from the review. When the actress playing her did a wonderful job. (Which is saying a lot because most child actors tend to be bad.) Abra represents the visual representation of Daniel's childhood if it wasn't fucked up and serves as his reason to stay good. Abra is also resourcesful and witty which plays really well in contrast with Daniel's mello tone. Abra also is very powerful and is a better reflection to Rose, which is also why Rose tempts her into joining The True Knot.
    If I recall correctly the reviewers said another one of their complaints was that the movie was cheesy and the effects were bad.
    They mentioned the scene where The True Knot (The Vampires) are sucking the soul out of the boy was funny.
    Um what? Did they not hear the boy's screams of Mercy or see the dagger being stabbed, mind you there is barely any blood shown in this scene as that is TRUE horror. The fear of not knowing what lies in darkness. To me it seemed like these guys were hoping to see jumpscares. (Not staying jumpscares are bad in horror movies as they can be good if implemented well.)
    They also said the effects were bad.
    All the effects were done digital or practically. The scenes with The Shine visually shown as vapor and scenes with the vampire's "Beast Mode"(For lack of a better term) were done digitally. However scenes with the Rotting Lady, Rose's injured hand, Danny's apartment being turned, and the Overlook Hotel are all done practically, also the cgi ain't even that bad. It seemed like they were nitpicking.
    My final argument to their complaints, The Overlook Hotel.
    The reviewers said that the scenes with The Overlook Hotel were done for nostalgia and were pointless.
    However they failed to realize that the Hotel itself is the weapon Danny will use to defeat Rose, but they also don't know or perhaps don't care about The Overlook Hotel being a visual metaphor for Danny's past. The Cycle, becoming his father and this shown through the repeat of the "Give me the bat scene", "The Conversation at the Bar scene" as well as the redo of the "Bathroom scene with Loyd" which is the Hotel telling Danny to "Just Let Things Happen." all of this leads up to Dan at the brink of killing Abra in room 237 which is where Jack gave into the Hotel's temptations in the first film.
    I really felt like these guys were on their phones, fell asleep, or were in the bathroom during the movie.
    (I think one of them was in the bathroom though😂)
    I will say though they did bring some genuinely good criticisms.
    The kind of "horror" in Doctor Sleep isn't for everyone. I definitely agree with this point, because the story is more focused on it's character's rather than just saying boo really loud. The scary parts are actually real things like: alcoholism, fear of death, the need for acceptance, depression and overcoming your past.
    The rest of The True Knot crew isn't fully fleshed out. They're more side characters with very little snippets of who they are. The Crow and the Viper Lady (I forgot her name ) do get some attention in the story, but it's not enough. To me it's clear that most of the writer's attention went to Rose The Hat.
    I also understood what they ment with this movie being more "Stephen King" than The Shinning was.
    All in all I thought the movie was highly underrated and I hope more people come around to it in the future. After all, The Shinning was very devicive when it first realeased in 1980.
    P.s don't take this comment as an attack. I'm just a really big fan of movies and I feel this one is underrated. That's all :)

    Also, they mentioned Cloud Atlas, which, weirdly enough, I'm about to read before watching the movie. Get out of my head, Sardonicast.

    I grew up in Ontario. Here is the secret of milk bags (at least what I was told)... you can transport more milk in bulk. Think about it, if you fill a box with ketchup packets its almost the same volume as literally filling the box with ketchup. The packets squish together so there is very little lost volume. If you filled the same sized box with stacks of tiny ketchup bottles, you lose about half the volume. Milk science ;)

    I remember bagged milk in B.C. up until about 10 years ago. You might still be able to find at co-ops. It was designed in the era when people were just becoming conscious about generating garbage, but there was no recycling. So you put the bag in a reusable plastic jug. Plastic bags were light-weight for transportation (and therefore used less fuel). Plastic as a toxic pollutant was not as much of a thing then.
