Matt, I can hardly believe that you’re not just willfully misunderstanding Jesse to instigate this whole argument. It’s amusing, but at the same time, you come off as an immense jackass, sir. You overly specify what a character is & what a movie is, which causes this whole thing.

Actually, listening closer, it may be a result of being really fucking high during the podcast…

I agree with Jesse that some movies like Mall Rats can be put in any location and the soul of the movie will be there as long as the characters are the same. I also agree that the soul purpose of almost every film is to make money, just look at Date Movie and all that other crap.

But I’m with Matt when he says “I don’t know what the fuck the means?”

Keep up the funnies, some debates fall into that category (funny), sadly this one wasn’t. Didn’t help that all you two did was say your points over and over. Remember people, to define recursion one must first define recursion.

Bullshit. He loves the movies he loves, making him a true movie fan.

If an older film doesn’t look particularly interesting there’s no movie fan code that says you must watch it.

Similarly, it pisses me off how some people claim they only like the ‘greats’ because it just seems they’re saying what they’re supposed to say.

I still watch movies I have not seen from 70s, 80s and 90s.

Damn Matt, you’re not a true movie fan.

Your opinion really just became meaningless after this episode. Damn damn damn, this podcast episode is painful bro…

Why does everyone keep saying this? I said I was not a fan of Anchorman. I love Mallrats and Dumb and Dumber. Dr. Strangelove is a comedy. Raising Arizona is one of the best films ever made. I’m just not a fan of Anchorman.

I think the perfect evidence is all the dreamworks anthropomorphic animal flicks. All interchangable, all for the same purpose – to give parents something to take their kids to, and to sell merchandise $$$.

Thank you very much for that.

Oh an Matt have you seen Heathers that’s so 80′ and so cool.

By the way I’m with Jesse on this one.

I understand and agree with everything you just said. I’m not talking about fans. I’m talking about the reasons for a movie to be made. If I recall correctly, this entire conversation bean when I mentioned something about there being no reason for certain movies other than money and I used Transformers as an example. I understand that people like them, but I also understand that some films are made for no other reason than cash. That’s all I’ve been trying to say. I’m not saying that anyone would want to make a movie that loses money, but sometimes that is the ONLY reason…

MOVIE BUSINESS!!!!

BUSINESS!!!!

What movie is ever made to lose money? That’s batshit insane. Yes, sometimes people have some emotional connection to said story, but at the end of the day, the primary way for that story to reach as many people as possible, is to do well in sales, IE, MAKE MONEY.

Fans of the saw series like the saw series. Why cant you concede to that. They feel an emotional connection to that,. Be it fright, joy, laughter WHICH ARE ALL EMOTIONS.

I thought I was naive, but anyone who believes that there isn’t writers, directors and actors out there that take on certain jobs primarily for the money is absolutely insane. In fact, back in the studio contracted days, almost everyone did just that. They don’t continue the Saw series for any other reason than to make money and I believe the people that write it only have to concern themselves with creative death scenes and a twist ending. There’s no emotional connection. There’s no message to convey. There’s nothing new about it. But they will continue churning them out until the box office slides.

I’ve been listening regularly for the past couple of months, and I’ve really enjoyed what you guys are doing lately.

we are leeeeeegion.
