Re: Some movies on YouTube
Whenever I submit a relatively rare or old film, I've been tempted several times to link the whole film instead of the trailer when it's on YT. But I refrain from doing so since I thought it would violate the site's rules. Can any criticker veteran shed some light on this? I don't believe it would ...

Re: Games Do Not Age
Games are utterly unique in that they're an iterative piece of art. You can't, for instance, release a movie sequel which is just 100 minutes of reused footage from the first film with 10 new minutes added in. And yet, that's exactly what games are. Take what worked in a previous entry in a franchi...

Re: Split up Certain Games for Different Consoles
Thanks for the idea! This is something we'd have to be careful about ... the criteria what can be split out would be difficult to define, and complications arise whenever subjectivity is brought in. We can certainly consider it how best to implement something like this, though! There are many insta...

Split up Certain Games for Different Consoles
Very frequently, a game with the same name for a different console is completely different, despite being treated the same by Criticker. A classic example is Strider . Compare the beloved Sega part of the arcade classic dYfs6_CeQzA to the NES version, a different game entirely; rs2Q-_8zuAU An even m...

Re: Cruella
A silly, generic dismissal, especially since 1. The Critical Drinker was criticizing Disney and their business model of putting out warmed-over trash based on nostalgia, NOT a piece of art, which is what the quote is about. 2. The Critical Drinker's channel is full of videos praising various movies...

Re: Cruella
When did I say anything about it not being significant? I explicitly stated that wasn't my argument. You're arguing a strawman here. My argument is that Covid exacerbated the issue and can't be seen as the core cause, not that this exacerbation didn't matter. You completely missed my own point. Nam...

Re: Cruella
I wasn't arguing that this exacerbation didn't matter so much as it is I don't think covid alone should be blamed for the issues to come. These things have been set in stone years ago, at best you can only say that covid was a silver bullet. By this logic, Edison's light bulb wasn't a big deal eith...

Re: Cruella
While it has been declining in western nations, in places like China and India the audience for theatre going has been growing so Hollywood may end up catering more to those audiences if that's where most of their revenue is going to end up coming from. They're already catering massively to those a...

Re: Cruella
We can quibble about language but..."The film industry believed that the greatest threat to its continued success was posed by television."--Britannica. And I remember similar sentiments on the radio news before we had a tv. "Out of business may be hype, but I didn't make it up. Yes, continued succ...
