Just watching a YouTube reaction for Spider-Man 3 and I had totally forgotten that Perla Haney-Jardine plays Sandman's daughter in that movie.

2025-03-21 20:34:32 +0000 UTCI’m Looking forward to re re re watching Jessica jones with you Jessica jones season 1 spoilers: Buffy was my favourite hero as a kid and now JJ is She’s the most relatable character in marvel for me. When she stand up to kilgrave in 1x8. She grabs his arm he replies “let go of me Jessica” and slow mo shows her fear, then her confusion then shows kilgrave’s face looking at her hands, then another shot of her tightening her grip. End with her smile, not a forced smile but a genuine smile that she’s faced her greatest fear and when she did she discovered that his power over her was gone and recently just been psychology. She faced her fear and found not only does she have nothing to fear from him, but he’s afraid of her. She smiles realizing that her greatest fear will never come back. It’s so inspiring. Also like a character like kilgrave (with no redeeming qualities in him whatsoever infact he’s more hateful that most marvel villains who destroy planets) and try and try to humanize him by making him save people and reveal his horrible childhood aswell as his speech where he tries to deny then defend what he did to Jessica by explaining how hard life is for him not knowing of people are following his orders or if it’s what they want. How he can control people without realizing it. Casting him with David tennent who is not only one of the most charismatic actors about, but he’s also famous for playing a legendary hero, and if you follow his tv work you know he’s not shy to play very ugly nasty loathsome characters , like wife beaters, serial killers etc so he has experience. Obviously I accept that Buffy and Jessica jones are great feminist heroes created to represent the other side that underrepresented. But even as a straight boy with mostly traditionally masculine interests…… Buffy was still My favorite hero as a little boy aged 6-10. I didn’t think there was anything odd about that and still don’t. Same with JJ being my favorite marvel hero. Sure they’re both feminist shows with feminist themes n stuff but I think it stands out by showing that in Buffy and JJ’s world while being hero’s and inspirations for women, they’re not perfect people themselves. Also they have love and value for the men in their lives. And the contribution they bring to the group.

2025-03-16 01:23:17 +0000 UTCWell if it helps you I’ll watch the YouTube edit aswell when it drops. But no I should be thanking you! I should be sending you a thank you card attached to a car lol. I did laugh on this most recent rewatch (with you) that this movie was produced by universal in 2015….. So ironically and hilariously this movie cannot be shown on Apple TV it literally doesn’t belong to them. Steve Jobs was worried about end to end control on Apple’s products. But he had no end to end control on his life story rights, at the very least that he should have had it written that any Steve Jobs biopic would be a laptop or a heartwarming computerized animation Pixar film about Apple and its corporate politics.

2025-03-16 00:54:35 +0000 UTCBtw Steve didn’t use the painting Lisa made his his presentation He used the painting to inspire the overall design for the iMac So it shows that he really valued and loved her picture and used it to inspire how the iMac looks. So when she mocks it as “Judy jettison’s easy bake oven” she mocking herself since she was kinda the one who designed it. Steve had a traumatic childhood and serious abandonment issues and self esteem issues. He rejected Lisa out of fear of rejection like his parents did, but he can’t hide his love for her. 1984 - he denies paternity yet after speaking to his surrogate father Scully, and talking about adoption, his last words before going on stage is “Lisa used Mac paint” 1988 - despite his constant complaints that she’s avoiding school or asking questions she’s already asked. He answers them anyway. He gets panicked seeing Lisa on the catwalk. Then he follows Joanna’s advice and asks her about her music and seems to genuinely enjoy the conversation. He assures her the saying cutting school is a crime is a joke then detains her to let her finish her explanations of the two songs. In 1998. He is overcome with shame learning that Lisa read time from 1984 and now think her father doesn’t want her. He learned that Andy paid the tuition and his fatherly pride is wounded saying he’ll pay him back and assuring Lisa he’ll always pay for it. Then during the biggest and worst fight of their lives about tuition/time magazine/selling the house/ her mothers spending habits/his treatment of her mother and her by letting her stay there. Lisa storms off and Steve follows, asking about the LISA-name. the first thing she says is “you’re gonna start late” he ignores her asking about the L.I.S.A. He admits that it was named after her. Saying he doesn’t know why he lied about it and the reason he denied paternity is because he was “poorly made” obviously a reference to his parents but also a joke about his obsession with stuff being well made and designed (so it doesn’t get rejected) She reminds him about starting late and he says “I don’t care” The whole movie starting on time was his biggest priority and now it’s cheering up his daughter. He was rejected by his birth parents and put up for adoption, adopted but then given back, then adopted a second time where the mother admits she refused to lose his for the first year. So you could argue he’s being rejected by at least 5 parents, these issues run deep and he was afraid that Lisa would reject him too.

I won't be editing this one right away for YouTube, but I would like to. Thanks for all the info!

2025-03-15 23:21:22 +0000 UTCI was flirting with subbing to a new patroeon. Was looking for somebody that 1.reacted alone (because they’re better) 2. Had a mix of movies and tv 3. Had the rogue cut of X-men Then I saw your channel and the 2nd from the top was (Steve Jobs 2015) Knew I had to sub asap. Steve Jobs is easily my favourite movie and every few months I browse YouTube to see if anyone has reacted to Steve Jobs (or Molly’s game or Dracula untold) And nobody ever has, Found some reactors who like me are HUGE Aaron sorkin fans “watch this with Kevin and Joe” I found them because they were the first channel I found reacting to the west wing. They mentioned they love Aaron sorkin so I sent a message asking if they’d react to Steve Jobs or any ot Sorkin’s other works but they told me they watched all the films already. This has literally been a (small) dream of mine for at least 4 years now, honestly i never thought it come true. Thought there was no popular market on YouTube for Steve Jobs reaction since. Not many saw it originally, it came out after the Ashton Kutcher movie called “Jobs” so some thought it was the same thing. Some thought it would retell the same story as jobs and some didn’t like jobs so assumed they wouldn’t like this either. Just that Steve Jobs was written by an Oscar winner and directed by another winner. It generated at least 2 Oscar nominations itself. It stars Michael fassbender, Kate winslet, Jeff Daniels, Seth Rogan (in perhaps his first dramatic role playing a real living person) and Michael stulbarg. The movie is experimental in so far as it’s not a biopic like jobs but rather 3 acts like a play. It’s almost all dialogue driven. In the 1984 sequence they filmed on 16mm then in 1988 they used 35mm they finally in 1998 they use digital cameras. I remember Wozniak giving a review of the movie and saying while he didn’t and wouldn’t yell at Steve publicly, if at all……but he was still very positive about the film saying something like “it’s not 100% accurate but it is 100% true. Things didn’t happen on that day or those things weren’t said out loud but it’s still true. He also said even despite it not being 100% accurate, “If Steve Jobs made movies, he would have made movies of this quality. Thanks

2025-03-15 22:47:16 +0000 UTCAs I said in the schedule post, I love this movie. It sounds based on your statements that it is, at least in terms of the events the movie portrays (the details and dialogue are no doubt largely creative license), fairly accurate, but personally, it isn't really that important to me whether or not it's accurate. I just like watching the actors deliver the sharp dialogue like it's a stage play. I've seen the movie, and I know what happens, it will never change, and yet watching it always feels like everyone's walking on a tightrope the whole time, or like you're watching an actor symphony (with Boyle playing the orchestra). Boyle shot each segment in a different film format, to contribute subconsciously to the time jumps: the first segment is 16mm, the second segment is 35mm, and the final segment is digital. The oldest Lisa is played by Perla Haney-Jardine. She hasn't been in very many movies (I love an obscure one that was shot for like $100 and directed by her own father that you'll never in a million years hear about other than from me, called Anywhere USA), but I'm sure you'll run into her in her major role eventually and I wonder if you'll notice.

2025-03-15 22:30:10 +0000 UTCSaw this movie when it came out…it was okay…kinda forgettable in my opinion. I don’t think Michael Fassbender was believable as Steve Jobs, kinda hard to capture his larger than life persona. Don’t really feel like rewatching the movie but will skip ahead to your after movie thoughts.
