Hey Jules…thanks for not shouting, having a witty and concise script and doing a ‘one per list’. Always a pleasure to watch videos that you have narrated.
I was shouting in the comments about his lack of one per list and my persistence finally paid off!
Great vid, Jules. Kevin Smith has since walked his comments back after Bruce Willis' diagnosis of aphasia.
Jules, when you went MIA, you know what I missed the most? Your mom... jokes.
I thought for sure Ricci’s “weight” in Buffalo 66 would make the list. One of the stupidest excuses 😂 she looked AMAZING
Wha?! She was the best part of that film.
David Brin also blamed a lot of the failings of The Postman on Costner, to be fair. I got guided to the book by that movie, and the differences in story and quality are staggering.
These days, companies like Disney blame the fans for not liking their movies.
These days, directors like Zack Snyder blame the fans for not understanding his movies.
These days, fans…in general…blame companies for wanting to showcase a world that’s more than white.
These days grown adults throw tantrums over fucking Disney movies and shows.
Yeah its pretty hilarious too
Sounds like you remember when movies had both diversity and a good story.
Marlon Brando only mailed in his roles after The Godfather. Everything after that was just to get his name on the posterboard, and a check in his bank. I cannot think of any good role he did after that. Apocalypse Now is supposed to be great, but he showed up very overweight for an SF Colonel, and not knowing his lines. That's why his segments are always in very close focus in dark lighting, and he says one line at a time, which often were not in the script.
I enjoyed his work with Johnny Depp in Don Juan Dimarco.
Please can you start adding chapters to your videos. Please.
Yes!!! The one per list is back!!!
All is well!
x2. Ecstatic about that.
Also, thought I'd mention - I have a relative who works in the entertainment biz (very local), and has a parade of horror stories about Jerry Lewis when her org was hosting an event he was the headliner at. He was a 100% total douchebag and misogynist prick. Like literally EVERY cliche. Awful human being.
Unfortunately, I believe this is a reissue video
10:56-11:04 yup, sounds like Marlon Brando
Rarely, big actors would interfere with other peoples' project. In most cases filmmakers refuse to take responsibility for their own failures and just blame others for it like spoiled kids.
I'm surprised that Richard Stanley didn't blame Val Kilmer for the failure of "The Island of Dr. Moreau"
Eh, it's been pretty well known for a while that the blame for that one is largely on Brando.
@@ericthompson3982 But Kilmer was extremely unprofessional. Didn't the replacement director, Frankenheimer, shout "Now get that man off my set!" as soon as Kilmer's scenes wrapped?
I suspect Brando had taken up all that.
Kilmer himself blames himself for it. He says he was going through his divorce at the time, and that he acted very poorly. Brando was doing Brando things and being insane, and they massively indulged him
John Schlesinger probably had a point, though. As much as I lovee Madonna as a musician, she's not known for being easy to work with. (And that movie is truly, truly awful. Poor Rupert Everett. )
“Scattered Praise”😂Brilliant
Always love hearing the "One per List"!
Ugh, entry title 4 says Paul Kaye (an English comedian/actor), later corrected to Tony Kaye
I half expected Paul kaye to unleash Dennis pennis in game of thrones
Alex Kutrzman squarely blamed Tom Cruise for how bad The Mummy reboot turned out
Yay Jules!
I liked Waterworld.. and it made money.
Whedon said the same about X-men. Particularly the Storm Toad line. Said it was a lead up joke that Toad kept saying. Kinda like the Quicksilver line in Avengers 2.
WhatCulture, you absolutely butchered the name "Preminger" by placing the emphasis on the first syllable. It's actually a three syllable name and the emphasis is on the last syllable.
His name isn't WhatCulture, he actually introduces himself.
@TySama0 So he did some butchering too? 😁
There been plenty of times a good actor saved a bad script and Smith has always been a hack for hire
As much as I detest Joss Whedon these days, even Sigourney Weaver agreed that the script had been much better than was conveyed on-screen. They both seemed to blame the director. That was the main reason she agreed to cameo in Cabin in the Woods.
Also, he made a similar complaint for another movie... I don't have a clip of it, and I can't reproduce it here in writing, but in the first X-men movie, people made fun of a line he wrote, "Do you know what happens to a toad when it's hit by lightning? [Toad gets hit by lightning] The same as everyone else." And it was a bad line reading, but in the interview I heard, he gave an example of how he imagined it, and the words were the same, but it worked a lot better. It is one problem with writing, especially for movies, in Hollywood... a writer can have an idea for a good line, but then the producer and director and actor all get in there and it's almost a game of telephone where the final performance loses what the writer intended.
If I'm not mistaken there was a language barrier between the cast and the Director of Alien : Resurrection, he had to use a translator for the making of the film
@@rybock Anyone who has watched Buffy the vampire slayer knows there's lots of nuances in Joss's writing and the way words are delivered are vital to creating the tone of the scene. "Mom, mom, Mommy", has probably just made some fans of the show start crying
There is a surplus of blame and deficit of accountability in the world of movie making, these days.
Word and opinion have a broader reaches than ever before. You no longer depend on just two guys eating popcorn in a mock theater for your movie news.
You know, I was once told that, in larger populated cities, there is enough first time patronage to keep even a shitty restaurant in business. Movies once counted on this. They no longer can.
Thank you for your return to form! My mom thanks you too
I didn’t mind Waterworld, but it was nonsense.
Waterworld is a good movie.
Love the one per list.
I still think we need a list of Jules’s top 10 your mom jokes.
ONE PER LIST!
I loved the second independence day movie. I thought Dr Okun was dead from the first one, and it surprised me when he was shown in the hospital and he woke up. 😊😊😊😊
Waterworld is actually a good movie
Even though the movie did well at the box office, the writer of A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, David Chaskin claimed the homoerotic themes were in the film because actor Mark Patton (who was in the closet at the time) who played the role of Jesse "too gay."
John Frankenheimer famously quipped "Will Rogers never met Val Kilmer!" He reportedly told the crew to get Kilmer "the hell off this set" when at the character wrap.
Yeah. American History X is one of my choices for top three drama films. Mind you, I fkin HATE the movie, but recognize how how well made it is.
Ladies and gentlemen we did it, we got our one per list. 👏👏👏
When an actor has a scheduling conflict, just make the film later. Tremors 2 wouldn't wait for Kev Bacon either. Of course if the ID4 sequel came out after the Oscar slap. . . .
I actually enjoyed Alien Resurrection, I never heard why people hate it. People only hated DAVID FINCHER'S Alien 3 for killing off Newt when Carrie Henn was retired from acting anyway, they kind of had to write the character out of the story (at least Hicks survived according to a video game people hate and I never played, but surely Hicks surviving is the game's redeeming factor right). For Alien Resurrection, the only reason I hear is "it's bad!" Well that's not much of an explanation innit, I wonder if anyone out there hated the movie without even trying it, I know some movies seem to follow that trend.
Preminger is pronounced PREM-in-jer, not pre-MIN-jer.
The day the clown cries sounds hilarious
Emmerich is full of shit. Will didn’t quit halfway through production. He read the script and passed on it. Can’t blame him; it was bad. Of course, so was Suicide Squad. 🤷♀️
Resurrection and Waterworld are awesome flicks. Brain-off fun.
Hooray, the Crown Jules and his one per list! One per list! 🎉❤😎
Joss has a niche writing style. Mixing comedy, with drama, and action. He does it very well. In the Alien universe that style doesn't fit. I liked Alien 3 better. Alien 3 was an attempt at recreating the claustrophobic, and known hidden danger, and suspense of the original. 4 made sense, but didn't at the same time. Just like I love, and hate it. There were some good one liners, but an action comedy, with Xenomorphs was better with Mel Brooks. And that was only one scene.
WHO was Monroe' sacting coach?
Wow, that Jerry Lewis movie looks crazy, would love that to be released. Also, unpopular opinion, I love Aliens 4. Sure it was a mess by there was so much I loved about it.
Actors always screwing up their lines and asking for love so sad
Tony or Paul Kaye?
Didn't you say Rolland had to Edit the scrip cause Will chose not to come. I would say it kinda is Will's fault. That and Suicide Squad Bombed too.
How is that Smith's fault? A ID sequel was a bad idea to begin with. The whole appeal of the first film was watching all the real-world buildings and monuments get destroyed. Once the world had been rebuilt following the first alien attack, it was harder for the audience to relate to the 'what if?' scenario. Smith wasn't obliged to return.
@@GregOrCreg It partly his fault didnt say it was all his fault. Yes the real blame is on th Director for putting his eggs all in one basket but when someone says they going to do something for you then drop out the can take some of the blame
@@Scaash Okay, I didn't fully realise that Smith had committed to a ID sequel. If that was the case, then I see your point. But if Emmerich merely assumed Smith would return without any guarantee beforehand, that can't really be levelled at Smith.
@@GregOrCreg Yeah middle of production and dude Opted out. 1:32
Can we get Jules a better baffle or get him to take one step back from the mic? All I can hear is air hitting the mic.
Who else appreciates the 1234 timing?
He fucking did it
I'm glad Costner and the director got over it, because "The Hatfields and the McCoys" was absolutely fantastic.
8:00 So the guy that claimed Ed Norton was too narcissistic to work with quit the film and then spent 100K of his own money to trash the film. Yeah, nothing narcissistic about that.
10:00 My brother worked for Cal Kilmer for a time, and given what he said and what I've observed about Brando, there ain't enough money on the planet to get me to work with those two.
Edward Norton has also clashing with major studios/indies on most of his pictures, including the Oscar nominated successful
adaptations of Primal Fear and American History X.
Paul Kaye?
Tony Kaye, director/cinematographer.
_Alien Resurrection_ was a disaster because of its director. Josh Whedon had little to do with it. A French director who, _did not speak English!_
How in the world can someone direct a film without being able to speak the language?! How exactly did they expect to 'work around' that?!
That Independence Day sequel was utter rubbish, despite Jeff Goldblum's good performance. And the reason is quite obvious: it's a CPC propaganda piece.
So Whedon blamed everyone else for his Alien movie. I'm not surprised given how he blamed everyone for his X-men movie. I remember an interview he gave saying something like 'yes, i wrote the lines, but she said it seriously '- about one of Halle Berry's lines. It was that stupid "So you know what happens to a road when it's hit by lightning? The same thing as everything else." It's just a bad line- one of many. Egos of these folks are so fragile.
I agree, I saw both those movies in the cinema and enjoyed them but both had some bad lines, that Toad line was abysmal, the only part of the film I hated, I spent years asking why it wasn't changed at any point before release to "It gets fried!" or something. Half the people in this comment section could have read that script and made Whedon's lines punchier and funnier than he did.
Let's be honest, actors tank shows with bad acting all the time.
Yea we know look at how suicide squad( The first one) Turned out 😂
To me fair, Madonna was the worst part of that movie… I blame her too 😂
I liked Alien 4
Joss Whedon I don't 🙂
Hey, your recording quality is off in this video....too much gain, breaths are not edited out, I hear pops and blow outs. The video is fine, but the sound quality isn't up to par on this one, unusually noticeable.
Kevin Smith sucks. I skipped his career.
Smith wasn't that good in Suicide Squad so no great loss.
Joss Whedon is a hack! His and Zack Snyders Justice League was both terrible.
It is not pronounced preminja. It is pronounced prem-in-jer.
With the emphasis on the first syllable: PREH-min-jer.
This is a law for all WhatCulture videos. There must be a mispronounced name so we can point it out and so increase the number of comments.
@@DanielOrme Have long suspected this.
Same as 'Schlesinger' which I don't think was pronounced properly either.
The first Alien movie was good because Weaver looked great in her underwear and the Alien was cool. All the sequels were worse and they were SJW girl power.
Modern incels such as yourself remind me of a time when films could be enjoyed by everyone before the incel snowflakes made everything about their insecurities and dislike of women.
@@obredaanps3exactly. They are the worst of humanity.
Susan Alexandra "Sigourney" Weaver
😂 you made me look up her initials
Smith talking about Willis is sad considering his diagnosis
It is, but he wasn't diagnosed way back then. It sounds like Smith was being a jerk and Willis could have been too- who knows? But they worked again later in Die Hard 4.
Many big-budget flops were due to weak story/script more than anything. No amout of acting talent can make up for nonsensical story with more plot holes than plot. Tell me again why Hollywood writers deserved a pay rise?
Perhaps Will should've went on to resurgence because suicide squad was a real dumpster fire
Yet, Suicide Squad was a huge hit and made about as much money as the more expensive and more hyped Batman v Superman, and certainly a lot more money than the completely pointless Resurgence.
@GregOrCreg say all you want, they were both overhyped disappointments.
@@Spawnwick_Boseman82820 I never said either of them were good. Suicide Squad is not a good movie. But commercially, it was a hit.
Your terrible mispronunciation of the name "Preminger", hurts my ears. Otto will be turning in his grave.
now for the video calling out entire companies for blaming the fans for a movie's or show's failure: Disney/Marvel/Lucas
Tony Randall said Marilyn Monroe was quote "Gorgeous but a terrible terrible actress" lol lol lol .......... even then. If you were hot you got the part. No secret Marilyn admitted to the casting couch. She said they all did it but she said she slept with almost every producer she wanted to get a apart. That is the golden age of Hollywood.
