my problem is, i like watching videos where dorks talk about bad movies. Drew Gooden talking about Christmas Mail is a video I revisit constantly. but what's vexing is that in the process they say a lot of really inane CinemaSins-level horseshit that proves they've never seen a children's movie or heard of a metaphor and i find that really annoying. "oh my god why do the bees in this low-budget knockoff of Bee Movie know who George Washington is" BECAUSE THEY ARE CONNECTED TO THE HYPEROBJECT.
i'm mad because this youtube whiteboy watched a movie for children and was like "uhh why arent the magically alive pumpkins rotting? DING!" and wasn't like:
- why is this movie for children about a christmas cat lowkey a trans allegory?
- is it not beautiful that the low budget, run-with-the-first-draft nature of this movie lays bare the metaphors that accidentally snuck in?
- were the Constructivists not on the money when they wagered that all truth rhymes, and all that rhymes is true?
