Arsenic and Old Lace - Full Reaction
I watched this movie a few weeks ago but I have been trying to work on uploading it to youtube to get through the copyrights. I think I'm up to edit 16? It will take me some time to work on it to get through the copyright blocks, but I thought I'd at least share the latest attempt so you can watch and enjoy if you'd like!
I absolutely love this movie! It's SO funny and I had a blast watching it.
I'm wanting to do more movie reactions on the channel, but I don't like editing them as it takes me too long. Instead of getting someone to edit the X Files episodes (which I can edit myself in 2 to 3 hours), it will be better if I get someone to do the movies. So, I'm going to see how we go with that 😄

Since you enjoyed this movie and Cary Grant’s performance, I recommend another screwball comedy he starred in called Bringing up Baby. The plot is bonkers, and he brings that same manic comedy energy to it as well. BTW, your favorite line from this movie “insanity runs in my family…it practically gallops” is my favorite too. I always chuckle every time I think about it 😆
Jules, I’m going to second, third and fourth Jen’s suggestion. Bringing Up Baby is my favorite old movie (filmed the year my mom was born if I recall correctly) and it is as close to perfect as a movie for its time can be—the trio of marvelous movies being Baby, Arsenic and by some measures the best, The Philadelphia Story (you need to know a bit about the culture & the greater tri-State (NYC) area—expanded to include the at-the-time ritzy, Eastern Pennsylvania—to appreciate it, though (which makes no sense today, and would make even less sense internationally); not so Arsenic and Baby, hence my rating; but the acting is so good, the actors top notch and the story uproarious). But hey, I’m still wrapping my mind around people considering movies from the 1980s as “old movies.” They came out ten years ago, right? Er, twenty? What?! Did someone mess around with time??!! (The takeaway: aging is weird, especially if you don’t think like an old person. ‘Course, your body gets a vote. A big vote. (Sigh))
As someone who knows nothing about the details of hiring an editor I'm wondering, are they paid a set fee to get the video YouTube friendly or are they paid by the hour and the longer it takes to make it YouTube friendly the more they get paid? Because if it's the latter I could see some people making the process longer on purpose.
I found someone on Fiverr that can do the editing and apparently it's guaranteed copyright problem free for the one price. I'm going to give it a try but I will limit it to one a month. I don't want anyone else to edit my Buffy or Dr Who episodes (maybe even X Files) as I have trouble with handing over that control 😅 a movie seems different as I might not be so attached, so I'm a bit more willing to let them prise the files out from my claws!
Hi Juliette, if you want a really good movie to watch. Have a look at "Profile" :) it's on the Australian Netflix.
