Am I the only one who thinks this looks absolutely A W F U L ?

Looks like a throwback to 80's b-movies.

The plot seems like a mess though from that trailer.

It can't be as bad as kickassia

A 2+ hour theatrical release of an E.T. The Extraterrestrial Let's Play would be less painful than this turd.

I don't mind AVGN, but there is no excuse for this CGI abortion to ever see the light of day.

>> No.1773493

>>1773456
I'm probably in the minority, but I'm kind of looking forward to this.

James Rolfe has a real passion for films and I'm sure poured his heart out into making this. If you've been following his updates you can see he has actually been putting a lot of effort into it. Even if it's bad I know it's a labor of love rather than a cash grab with his name slapped on.

Also of course it looks awful, it's a god damn budget film about a video game reviewer from 2006, not exactly Citizen Kane material.

I'm not defending anything. James is all about shitty effects for a crappy b-movie feel. He loves that shit.

Give him 100 million dollars to make a movie and he'd do the same. It's okay if you don't like that choice.

The true story is that ET was a fairly good atari game, given its hardware limitations, but more copies than consoles bought were produced, a bad decision on the company's part, and the extras were buried in the fucking desert.

It's both made on purpose and with a limited budget. It's higher than your average indie film but not even 1% of the cash that goes on a blockbuster.

Why is he still doing the stupid fucking faces?
Does he still think he's only popular because he had a stroke?

The acting looks terrible, don't give me that amateur production bullshit. They want to compete with big budget shit they have to walk the walk.
The plot looks weak. One focal point and a bunch of tacked-on WACKY ADVENTURES.
The cast.. what cast?

I won't see it, but I don't feel bad because I know it won't flop. How could it? Video games are SUPER COOL right now.

I think that's the point of the movie
That devs can make games so bad nowadays but people will still buy it because it's bad

See: Sharknado 2
From everything I've seen of it, it's completely going off the success of the first one's awfulness, making the sequel worse.
Same goes for this movie: He tries to make it funny off of what he had done before that everyone (liked?), which makes it a worse movie in trying

Why the random gamer girl and two black guys instead of recognizable people from AVGN?

Judging on how she thinks AVGN is a white sausage fest and needs more culture enrichment, I wouldn't be surprised.

And since James is a white pussy who doesn't know what being assertive is, he probably didn't even debate her and immediately agreed.

Why are people assuming he added a female lead because muh feminism? AVGN is like the one YouTube celebrity who doesn't fall into that bullshit. Watch any other channel, people lose their shit any time a female appears in a game wearing less than a burqa. Meanwhile, in Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, James' only reaction is pretty much just "haha tits".

>> No.1773763

It looks great because it's so obviously self-aware. It's shot professionally in some parts, but purposely made to look fake in others.

James is showing his love for both video games and the b-movie genre in this, and if you can't grasp that, then don't even bother watching.

This film was made with a 300,000 budget.
From what I've seen from the trailer, He has made a decent looking movie for that price.

If you have watched many of his videos you would know he has said that most of the money went into filming locations in cali.

Said if he had to do it over he wouldn't of done it there


300,000 for a full lenth film is amazing.
