Great video.

I like the concept of needle drops. He brings up possible baggage that pulls you out from a film yet, when it works, it tends to elevate a moment. Kermode's quote in the video nicely expresses this notion.

I have a lecture later this semester on this topic. I'll have to give this video a watch (though I'll probably have some issues with it).

 

[blame space]

i too haven't watched this and will probably have major issues with it.

Ha! I doubt I'll have any major issues with it. Just the typical semantic or pedantic stuff that us academics thrive on.

I just spent 5 minutes trying to figure out if this was the same guy as what I later found out was Mo Willems (forgot his first name) who writes children books. lol Will watch the video.

I mean that is a great needle drop but not many people outside of a few I feel have seen Metropolis hence why it's nit brought up much.

That's some sneaky embedding you did there OP. I see you.

 

[UltraGashInferno]

There are lots of good pop needle drops in movies. But only one is king

In this video, Patrick is exuding confidence like never before. A great showing of his knowledge in the craft. He's really grown in the past couple of years and moved on from the studenty-vibe he once had.

Even at times when I don't agree with his takes, he's really interesting to listen to.

He's right: Ant-Man is underrated.
