  1. Darth Plagueis watching from the shadows: “Is it over yet?”

  2. I did always get the feeling this shift away from what obviously works was the idea from someone somewhere that “we have the money, power, and resources to literally change human behavior.”And sold to investors as “We can make men watch rom-coms, and women watch superhero movies. All the have to do is basically force them too long enough that their spirit breaks and theyll become woke just like us.” Unfortunately, at $300M a pop even disney ran out of money, power, and resources before they could change the hardwired desires of men and women. 1984 has failed.

  3. The best review you can get from the drinker - “the drinker recommends”. The worst review you can get from the drinker - “No thanks not even gonna watch it.” Get owned, scrub. 😂

  4. Man, going back and watching all these drinker videos on why modern movies suck has been so eye-opening. Not in a “oh thats why” sort of way, but in the “yes thats exactly what i thought i just couldnt put those thoughts into words” sort of way. Thanks drinker for calming my mind and letting me get back to the important things… like this bottle of Laphroaig quarter cask 😎👍

  5. She was too busy working on that dance choreo to properly learn the fight choreo for her actual job 😂

  6. “A show based on league of legends? LoL 😂” Then you watch it and youre like: HO LEE SHIT 😱😱😱 I cant wait for season 2, whenever it happens.

  7. Its kind of fun to go back and watch these videos years later… as the Acolyte nears release, we can see if the drinkers prophecy comes true 😂

  8. Awww i thought the movie was gonna be a fun romp where a clever and creative writer gets just a few too many guesses right and attracts the attention of actual spies, and then good guy spy has to save the day and the writer gets some great inspiration for her next book. Id watch that. 😂

  9. Ha! I was about to make this very comment 😂

  10. Another crazy thing i noticed is how truly “woke” this movie is. Not the fake wokeness in current media where people point fingers about equality while being blatantly racist, but the kind of woke where race and gender have no real effect on your opportunities, because race and gender arent really a thing anymore. The characters in the boot camp of the mobile infantry for example are incredibly diverse, from black women to white men and everything in between (nothing openly gay or trans, but that probably has more to do with it being made in 1997). Even the new, more thoughtful sky marshall is a strong black woman. The thing is, the movie makes no attempt to point out this diversity, it just simply “is”. Dunno just seemed cool i guess 🤷‍♂️

  12. After watching this video, i went and watched RRR. Its everything the drinker describes. I am also glad i finally watched it. If you think of RRR as an Indian version of a Shonen anime, it all makes sense.

  13. Games Workshop: why do people love warhammer? Fans: because it doesnt bow to woke madness. Games Workshop: oh, about that…

  14. Loved this movie as a kid. Went back and watched it again many years and was like “oh snap is that Jayne Cobb??” 😂

  15. Meanwhile, Palworld sells 19M copies and Helldivers 2 is the talk of the town. You had a good run, sweet baby, but its our turn now. Betcha didnt think itd be me at end, did ya? 😂

  16. “At least itll be better than the Amazon TV series” how right you were 😂

  17. Star Wars has become that friend whom you were very close with until they got into a toxic relationship. Youve watched their toxic partner systematically destroy all the friendships and goodwill they had, youve tried many times to help them get out but youve grown tired of trying, because every time they just end up right back with them again. Youll always hold out a little hope, but you know deep down at this point your friend is gone, and never coming back. And even if they do someday free themselves from their toxic relationship, whats left of them and who they used to be will be a stranger to you. As close as you once were, its too late because youve moved on.

  18. Let us also not forget how endlessly quoteable this movie is. Especially ruby rod 😂 I still shoo people away by waving my hands about saying bzzz zzz zzz!

  19. At least in the case of Kylo Ren, i always felt he was supposed to be exactly as drinker describes. Hes that kid you knew in high school who had loving and supportive parents, plenty of money and prospects, good grades and was generally well liked, and then one day gets a little too into Nine Inch Nails or Marilyn Manson, and decides hes a villian with a cold heart and a soul of ice. He tries to be broody and mean but it falls flat because everyone who knows him knows his life is just fine. Hes a pathetic villian and thats the point. Now, all that being said, he should have either had a redemption arc rather quickly, or simply been a minor side character as the true sinister antagonist appeared. But that would mean those star wars movies were well written 😂

  20. Dont forget the 3rd episode aired first. And it was cancelled so fast only 12 of the 14 episodes even aired at all.
    2
  21. Two years later i can say the most that slap did was make will smith look like a fool. The Oscars continue to be pointless and unwatched. By me at least 😂

  22. Feels like they asked bill if he wanted to be in a crow remake and he was like “hell yea!” And then after already commiting and signing the contract found out what movie he was actually making and got real sad 😂
    2
  23. I saw season 1 and loved it but didnt have enough sub time on my hbo max to watch season 2 or 3. I didnt believe people when they said s2 and 3 were bad, but… when the drinker agrees with them, well thats reason enough for me. Thanks for saving a few bucks on a sub fee my dude 😎👍

  24. I still like ryan.

  25. This is actually the Boris the Blade origin story 😂

  26. Makes you wonder if perhaps the only reason it got so many oscar noms was to get everyone to watch the oscars to see if such a garbage movie would actually win. Me personally, i wont be watching the oscars… ever again. Check and mate.

  27. Hold on, is there no part 2??? 😱

  28. SWT’s Vader series. Thats what we should be excited about.

  29. Pretty sure in the case of john wayne as genghis khan, that no one who watched the movie believed for a second that the real genghis khan was white or looked anything like john wayne. 😂

  30. Firefly: the greatest show ever cancelled.

  31. Maybe im not the only one who has noticed a decline in interest toward hollywood films. I cant even say if its because theyve become worse, because i dont even watch them anymore 😅 Between work, doomscrolling on youtube and playing video games, i just dont find myself with the time or the desire to sit and watch any of this stuff 🤷‍♂️ The Drinker’s reviews are enough for me most of the time.
    1
  32. Funny thing is, i never had any interest in this movie. I wasnt going to see it no matter how good it was. Now that its terrible, im almost tempted to see it just to know “how terrible” 😂 Im still not going to see it, though.

  33. It may have been my age at the time, but i liked ghostbusters 2 better than ghostbusters 1 😂

  34. As i said before: “If you like Wicked, then you’ll like Wicked.” 😂 This movie is probably aimed at the people who love the broadway show, and people like me who are intrigued by the broadway show but either due to lack of funds or not living in NYC, have never actually seen it. This movie gives me the chance to finally know what all the fuss was about 😂 For this same reason i can’t wait for the Book of Mormon movie.

  35. If it got Aubrey Plaza a paycheck, then i’m ok with it. 😂

  36. I wonder if Jeff Bezos or his wife are just too rich to give a shit if rings of power is good or not. Everyone hates it? F*ck em. Make season 2 anyway.

  39. Andor feels like what Solo should have been. A glimpse into what the rest of the galaxy goes through when no jedi are involved. Its the only show ive seen (besides maybe season 1 of mandalorian) where i hope to see a second season.
    1
  40. Haha, when i heard this show wasnt awful, i asked if it was similar vibes to goonies, explorers, or flight of the navigator 😂 And sure ET too. Why not. Oh and dont forget “The Last Starfighter!” 😂

  43. As sure as i am that RDJ could do an awesome dr doom… is he really the only one who could? I see this and just think… why? 🤷‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

  46. Great video. Id be interested in a follow up concerning the hobbit movies, and where you think the differences lie. I think we can all agree the LoTR trilogy was top notch filmaking, and that the hobbit trilogy was not at the same level for whatever reason.

  47. I never thought of Bill as the villian. If anything hes an anti-hero. “The system” is the villian. I could imagine a prequel where you find out that Bill isnt violent, hes just let down by the system time and again that the stress it brings eventually pulls him down to a point of no return. Hes a man we would all relate to and could see ourselves behaving the same way in his situation. Its why the showdown at the end has so much tension. You want bill to win, even though Pendergast is the “good guy”. Im not sure if its actually in the film or just my imagination, but i always see a moment of Pendergast after the final encounter with a wet mark on his clothes. Showing that Bill did win. But Bill chose to use a squirt gun, and if he hadnt, Pendergast would be dead and he would have gotten away. But in the end, Bill still believes in the American dream, and sees that Pendergast just might have a chance to live it.

  48. Ill believe it when i see it. And even then, only if its good 😂

  49. I saw this movie on HBO with my dad… when i was 5 😂 it may have given me nightmares but not because i was afraid, more that my young mind and no reference with which to process most of the movie. I do sometimes wonder if my dad ever felt guilty for letting me watch it 🤷‍♂️😂

  50. If anyone can save the MCU, its Van Wilder. 👍

  51. Theres an episode of Castle where Nathon Fillion wears his costume from Firefly and his daughter asks “whats that outfit supposed to be?” And he says “Space Cowboy!” 😂
    1
  52. The irony of it all is that the original Iron Man proved that with a good script and a film made by people who care, even a B list superhero no one really knows about can accomplish great things. Seems like Sony heard “B list superhero” and forgot to listen to the rest of that formula for success 😂

  53. You watch this movie, you love it. Many years later, you discover Warhammer 40k… and you think, “Aaaaah it all makes sense now.”

  54. No one puts Swayze in a corner

  55. I didnt watch the movie, but this version… i think i would 😂

  56. Tbh i think we all saw it coming after Endgame. Its the same problem with shōnen anime like Naruto and DBZ. The story arc works when normal people grow into superheros and overcome what would otherwise be impossible odds to save the world. You can start small, like Ironman 1 which is just tony escaping a prison and defeating his ex business person who wants his tech. Build that story slowly until a team of characters with clear flaws need to work together to save the world. Throw a twist where the villan wins (for a while), a crowd favorite sacrifices himself for the ultimate victory and you got a banger of a story. Endgame, Naruto vs Pain, Goku vs Vegeta (or Frieza). But after that climax, the stories always get rediculous. Theres always another bigger bad guy and now the hero has to get even stronger and the same plot points get repeated over and over until people stop buying your comic because its just the same shit over and over.

  58. I mean, theres only one book, right? So is each movie “based” on the same book? 😂 but with the same result of reposting a video over and over until the quality is absolute garbage? 🤔

  59. Oh my bad

  60. Looks good gimme more 👍

  61. I wonder if there was any studio meddling involved. Like perhaps a directors cut would be what we actually wanted 🤔🤷‍♂️

  62. I keep meaning to hate watch the acolyte, but by the time i get to the “press play” button, i feel sick and opt to play helldivers2 instead 😂

  64. Cue the “toxic fandom” tears as this dumpster fire burns its way into cancellation 😂

  65. “A show like Firefly gets cancelled, but Rings of Power gets renewed. Does that seem right to you?” - the bounty hunter, probably

  66. This was the only way daredevil had a shot. If it wasnt charlie and it wasnt gritty people would just ignore it and it would be DoA.

  67. I dunno, sure Arcane s2 wasnt as good as s1, but i thought it was still pretty amazing. I will agree it could have told the story over 3 seasons instead of 2 and would have been all the better for it though.

  68. Whenever i watch one of these “the drinker fixes…” i think, “wow, this guy should be a writer.” 😂

  69. I get the feeling all this will do is provide marvel with a scapegoat once the movie bombs. Maybe now they can make Bucky into Captain America like they were supposed to all along.

  70. If theres one thing you can always bank on, its Games Workshop doing something utterly stupid to piss everyone off 😂 I feel bad for Henry Cavill, as the woke mind virus infects everything around him.

  73. The character of Siegfried is a hero, and one could argue his “superpower” is a utter lack of fear. He reforges a magic sword simply through sheer confidence. BUT… you learn he has no fear because hes actually kind of dumb. He has no fear because no one ever taught him what fear was. And this boyish overconfidence allows him to be taken advantage of, and he unwittingly brings about ragnarok and the downfall of the gods themselves. So, having no fear can make you a hero… just not a very good one 😂

  74. Sounds to me like trying to make LoTR without the LoTR books. And i dont mean rings of power, i mean like if peter jackson just made up the Lord of the Rings and released Fellowship extended edition promising that “theres two more movies” and we just had to trust that the story would turn out good.

  76. Some questions dont need to be answered. Some questions dont even need to be asked. Thats why its called “headcanon”. People are allowed to have their own opinions but that only works if you leave some things vague. Is the doctor gay? Straight? Bi? Who knows? Maybe hes just a super old alien being who doesnt have time for any of that sexuality nonsense and doesnt care which you think he is. When the fate on the universe regularly hangs in the balance and youre responsible for saving the world, is it a topic even worth discussing?

  77. Gotta hand it to you Drinker. I watch your videos, and i notice something that i think needs to be pointed out because as much as i agree with you i feel like some things are being twisted. Then, just as im about to pause the video and comment about how the clips of this lady are probably being taken out of context (like perhaps it is a good thing to make certain men uncomfortable for whatever reason which her clip doesnt tell you, and that shes not talking about Star Wars in that clip), the next words out of your mouth say exactly that. Its not often i watch a critic and basically agree with everything they say as they say it. But you sir, are spot on with where my own brain is at 100% of the time 😂

  78. Shogun was amazing. Can confirm. Would recommend.

  79. To be fair, a movie thats exactly the same as the original Twister but with a shiny new coat of paint of it is all i need the movie to be 😂

  80. As much of a Til Schweiger fan as i am, i think Christoph Waltz is on another level.

  81. I watched firefly with my dad, every episode as it came out. We were shocked when it got cancelled but one of the many fans who bought it on dvd the moment it came out. Ill see it as a happy ending that the fans pulled together and through shear force of will and “voting with our wallets” that we got Serenity made.

  82. Shiny 😊

  83. My friends and i rented this movie, and watched it shortly before doing some acid, without knowing what we were in for 😂 We were 14, and we were not aware it was a horror movie when we rented it 😅 I would… not recommend it.

  84. People who wonder how california and texas could ever team up have clearly never been to Austin 😂

  85. “How would you describe the trailer” “Take every clip of Sam Neill screaming in horror from every movie he’s ever done and splice them all together into one long sequence. That about sums it up.”
    1
  86. I mean, if he doesnt threaten to tear a guys throat out several times, and actually tear a guys throat out at least once, is it really even a Roadhouse remake? 🤔
    1
  87. Euro version after the ending: “I need to look at my life and my choices. I need to make sure to stand up for myself and be ready to “be a man” when the time comes. Being passive and nonconfrontational is a fine way to live, but i can’t let that be all that i am.” American version after the ending: “Thank God American girls are all such girlbosses. If i run into trouble i can just wait til my wife snaps and rage kills everyone.” 😂
    1
  88. Reminds me of when people complained about transformers. “Its just a bunch of robots fighting.” Yea. Exactly. All I wanted to see was a bunch of robots fighting, and that’s exactly what i got! I think i will enjoy kong x godzilla in just the same way 😂

  89. Doesnt bucky become the next capn america in the comics? 🤔

  90. Colin Farrell can put his Bullseye days behind him 😂

  91. Nailed it my dude. Agree 100%

  92. Tbf, no one talks about these shows because theyre on paramount+, a streaming service no one has and no one watches 😂 In fact the only thing i know about paramount+ is that south park is on it and it makes me mad because before paramount+ i could south park online for free. F you paramount+

  93. “The villian should be a cis gender white male.” “No no thatd be too obvious. Besides we cant give a white guy a big part.” “How about the cis gender filipino guy?” “Oooo perfect! No one will see that coming!” 😂

  94. I loved the Shogun from the 80’s with Chuck Norris. Its actually a learned my first bits of Japanese (yes, thank you, youre welcome, i understand… lol). Glad to hear this new version is good too. Looking forward to watching it! 👍

  95. Will it save the MCU? No. Do i care? Also no. I just came for the jokes and to see ryan and hugh have some fun 😂

  96. “No we can’t kill him… yet.” 😂

  97. Its ironic that one of the great advantages to writing a story set in middle earth is that you dont need to justify the motivations of the Orcs. They are pure evil. Plain and simple.

  98. Looking forward to the episode 3 review… 😂

  99. I loved this movie when it came out. Even if i was only 11 at the time 😂
    1
  100. Im almost tempted to watch it just to see if its as bad as drinker says 😂 But, i think i’ll just watch Shogun instead 😎
    1
  101. Im having trouble resisting the urge to watch it the way one resists the urge to watch a car crash. If i give in to the dark side, it will only be to see how bad this show really is 😂

  102. Ive already seen Kingdom. And i agree with drinker, its amazing.

  103. Wait, the blue lightsaber turns red? Is… that how lightsabers work? 🤔😂😂
    1
  104. I actually like that Anna has no real backstory. Her purpose as a character is to give the audience exposition about the predator, and because shes basically cannon fodder who has already fulfilled what the script requires of her, youre ready to watch her get killed at any moment, keeping the stakes high. Also, her backstory probably isnt all that interesting. A girl grows up in a brutal dictatorship, hates her life and joins the rebels to try and change it for her and her people. A simple motivation. Cut and dry, just the way the 80s liked it 😎
    1
  105. I cant even hate watch this show. Its just so bad 😂
    1
  106. I cant see movies at the box office where i am, so i have to wait for everything to come to streaming. Since im out of the loop i do have a question… are any movies doing well at the box office? The MCU and Star Wars losing their magic through moronic choices at the top made enough sense, but movies that dont pander or suck bombing just as hard has me wondering if people are just over the whole “lets go to the theater” aspect of movies anymore. Is there anything people just HAVE to watch on the big screen or is viewership down across the board? 🤔🤷‍♂️
    1
  107. The conspiracy theorist in me almost has me thinking this movie was written poorly on purpose, or forced to be written poorly on purpose by the muckymucks at the tippytop who have no interest in embracing the idea that women can be leading characters in a superhero movie. But, thats honestly giving Disney CEOs and such too much credit 😂 that level of manipulation requires comic book supervillan planning and im sure its more a case of the opposite - a complete lack of oversight by those at the top to make sure this movie would actually be any good.

  108. We’re all in the Henry Cavill Warhammer 40k universe waiting room at this point. Wake me when he decides to play Guilliman.

  109. “Its the least bad episode so far!” Proceeds with scathing review which, true, was ever so slightly less scathing than the reviews of the previous episodes 😂
    1
  110. I like Die Hard 2. And Ghostbusters 2 😂 and i actually agree about Predator 2. I felt jabaited when Dutch never showed up, but it is definitely underrated and gets more hate than it deserves.
