FYI, it appears a bunch of longtime-blocked reactions on YT have now been reinstated -- including all Star Trek movies.
Yeeha
For the 426 May PAF entries, there are apparently more romance than action. The top 5 genres as given by beta.popcorninbed.com are: Drama - 258 Comedy - 159 Romance - 106* Action - 82* Thriller - 78
Still bugs me that they use Thriller as a genre. Itās more of a general descriptive than a genre. Thriller can literally be tacked on to any other real genre.
Got my John Adams blu-ray ready to go!
I didn't catch where she mentioned it. Is she considering watching for the channel?
Children of Men wishes it had 68K views. Maybe at the end of the year, it will get there.
It currently has 62k views on YouTube, so it wasnāt that far off. Iām not really a fan of the movie but facts are facts.
While the new editor is being trained you should have them create YT edits for stuff you have no plans to make YT edits for likeā¦ Spirited Away and The Book of Boba Fettā¦ for trainingā¦ and then you release them anywaysā¦ā¦ā¦
And the Trek Vlog, and Hollywood Bowl Vlog, Philadelphia, etc.
In this PAF Live, she said she reacting to A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (6 episodes) after Andor (24 episodes). When asked about House of the Dragon, she said she would think about it. Planned series reactions in order: 1. Andor (24 episodes) 2. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (6 episodes) 3. [Next?]
So more of a franchise that already has 49 "reaction slots" (at least) and one that has been going on almost weekly for, what, 3 years already (okay, 9 or 10 months?) Why is variety too much to ask for...
Unless tastes of voting patrons significantly changed (e.g., w/recent influx of GoT fans), I think BHC2 wins "What World should I Return to Poll". Cassie won't mind. She likes Billy, Taggart, and that version of Murphy. Would be pleasant reaction. Plus, BHC (1984) did well w/181k YT views (10 months). Thought The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009) could beat BHC2 but think being foreign hurts too much w/mainstream. Discussion of Matrix or Godzilla or Mad Max or Doctor Sleep, etc. moot b/c plurality goes BHC2? That's fine. If BHC2 wins poll, should get reaction. Not auto-reaction w/o a poll (which I would be fine with if that what she wants) but would be poll winner.
Rambo 2 would put the cat amongst the pigeons.
WHAT DO I PICK CHAT? WHAT DO I PIIICK
Yay, I picked a new movie for next time... Hmm... those multiple entries of a movie that has already won, maybe they should be removed? The benefit of multiple people picking the same movie is it increases the odds... but once it wins (goal achieved), all of the duplicates could be removed as part of "the game" ... ("Your Name" is one of my favorite movies - I watch every reaction of it.) How about a friendly message... "Your movie has already won! We will wait for you to pick a new title." In other words... there's no reason for a person to win when they have (effectively) no title selected.
100% agree. Itās bad enough that film roll over every month without having to lift a finger, winning because you left a movie in place that has already been watched is too much. If they canāt be bothered to to select a new movie then too bad, theyāre out of luck.
Need some young blood in these future polls and suggestions. Only thing looking forward to is GoT and Andor. Gotta liven up these movies!
Got any suggestions?
This movie will demand the Kleenex tissues.
Does Ben know that all of the scene transitions(i think in OBS) for Pick-A-Flick have a sudden higher volumes spike than the scenes? I've been noticing it for the past 3 months or so. The music volume increase when one scene fades into another, then decreases again.
Yeah, that actually jump scared me once, lol.
Darn, somehow I missed this, even though I was watching for notifications. Update as I'm watching the VOD: Haha! I think I was the last of the 5 Sunshine picks on the board and my DVD got plucked off in while the last 100 were popping. Here's to next time!
Regards to watching a film for the World Cup, two of the best Football (sorry i refuse to call it soccer š) movies Ive seen are United (2011) itās about Manchester Unitedās Busby babes team and the plane crash they were involved in. The other Is The Damned United (2009) about one of the greatest football managers Brian Clough, both movies are based on true stories. Please donāt watch Green Street itās terrible š.
Charlie Hunnam somehow having a worse Cockney accent than Dick Van Dyke despite being English himself. š¤£
"I want to watch Matrix 4..." You still haven't watched Matrix 3 (which is frankly where I'd stop). š¤·āāļø
Matrix 1, 2, & 3 are the same story, same characters. Even with Keanu, Cassie just doesn't like that world much at all. The 4th film is crap.
Do we have the list of all the Pick-a-Flick winning movies somewhere?
Hi Rene, a recent list is at the bottom right corner of this page: https://beta.popcorninbed.com/paf It is consistently labeled in past posts as Pick-a-Flick, so a search of those words in the search posts functions on this page will list all the past posts for the picks. In those posts usually someone will mention the winner in the comments.
Suggestions for "What World should I Return to Poll" āThe Girl with a Dragon Tattoo (2009) (earlier adaptation) [might could beat BHC2?] āFor a Few Dollars More (1965) (complete the Dollars Trilogy) āFuriosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) ā10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) āBatman (1966) āAlien: Romulus (2024) āPrometheus (2012) (quasi-prequel to Alien) āDoctor Sleep (2019) (sequel to The Shining)
I consider "Prometheus" more of an in-universe spinoff than a proper "Alien" prequel. I only wish it had gotten a more committed sequel than the dumbed-down "Covenant," which only paid it lip service while mostly focusing on more simplistic humans vs. xenomorphs crap. š
Suggestions for "What World should I Return to Poll" āThe Mandalorian & Grogu (2026) āPredator: Killer of Killers (2025) ā28 Years Later (2025) ā28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) āThunderball (1965) (Sean Connery Bond) āSaw X (2023) āHalloween (2018) āGodzilla vs. Kong (2021)
Godzilla vs Kong is not a return to either Gojira (Godzilla 54) or Godzilla minus 1. Itās part of the āMonsterverseā (Legendary) Godzilla series. To give some perspective, it would be like watching The Dark Knight after watching Batman (66) and Batman (89) and thinking itās a continuation of the same Batman reality. There are at least 9 different, separate interpretations of Godzilla and thatās only including live action versions, and all these different versions have different motivations, powers, and abilities, so Itās not interchangeable at all. To get to Godzilla vs Kong she needs to watch Godzilla (2014), Kong: Skull Island (ā17) and Godzilla: King of the Monsters first. Edit: different sizes - Godzilla variants come in different sizes too, from 50 meters/164 feet to 118 meter/387 feet (one anime version was 318 meters /1043 feet).
Add this one to the Cassie-isms list: that movie with Brad Pitt, 'The Man Who Shot Bagger Vance'.
Let's not forget "Princess Monococo"
Looks like the April picks have populated (carried over to) the May picks. https://beta.popcorninbed.com/paf
Usually, my pick a flick just carries over to the next month but when I checked for April, I didn't select a movie apparently. Oh well, I wasn't going to win anyway. š
Mine carried over.
Forgot about the live but managed to catch the drawing. Not gonna lie, it hurt my soul to see The Raid, Basic Instinct, and Jackie Brown all make final 10 just to lose lol. But congrats ColorMeLucky. Really hope BHC 2 is on the sequels poll. Looked good, Cassie. Glad you've recovered and best wishes to your oldest!
I was really hoping for The Raid, would have been happy with Jackie Brown, would have been okay with Basic Instinct. Was even pulling for A Hard Days Night near the end. But I guess we get another āchick flickā.
EWWW Another chick flick won?! ? Sister's Keeper. Never cared for it like richard here.
Can we have a separate PaF for manly movies?
A good movie won this month - Congrats Colormelucky!
Another PaF, another winning movie I care nothing about.
Yeah...
š„°
Good luck to everyone
Good luck to everyone, especially anyone who has picked a romance or classic movie, including classic horror.
Aight, let's get it!
