I've been having a terrible month so it's been hard for me to motivate myself. What's making it harder to do anything is that I'm not sure what I should be pushing myself to do. My YouTube channel did its first video on Halloween so I've been wanting to put up a Halloween video for this year. At first I was going to talk about Tales From The Hood 2, but it is WAY too bad to sit through. So I've come down to these three options.

Really torn between Joker and the Netflix ones. I voted for the former but I regret it already. Both good choices though.

Joker would seem to me to be the most relevant. If you could give your video review an attention grabbing title, you might get more viewers that way. Something flamboyant or with a twist, I noticed on YouTube the video titles that seem real intriguing are the ones I might click play on, just to found out what it's all about.

I'd advise against reviewing Joker considering how your month has been. Sure, it could get you a lot of views, but if that happens it will also get you a lot of negative feedback.
I've watched a number of Joker reviews on YouTube and I can immediately tell what the reviewer thought of the movie just by the likes to dislikes ratio (and don't even get me started on the comments section). I don't even have to watch a second of the actual review to know.

So this poll was to accompany votes from my friends so collectively, Joker won. I decided to do Tales From The Crypt and Vault of Horror next year and this year, I'm doing a Tales From The Crypt parody while talking about Netflix horrors and Joker on Halloween. The Joker review is finished but it's a day late because I uploaded it to the wrong channel. With that, I have a review of Netflix original, The Perfection. My review of the Netflix horror is very raunchy due to the material in the film so I'm not going to post it here. My YouTube name is the same as my MoFo name. (Also, disclaimer: the beginning is sarcastic)

Bit harsh. Didn't you at least enjoy the score? Or the colour pallette?
And you found Taxi Driver boring? wtf? It's one of the most influential films of all time. You've seen that a million times because Taxi Driver inspired it!!!

Are you sure you watched this movie? Like, actually watched it?
Seems to me this review is little more than a misguided rant based on half-remembered scenes clouded by the effects of personal trauma unrelated to the movie. And not only misguided, but self-aggrandizing because - yet again - you claim that all the people raving about the movie are just mindless sheep and only you have the ability to think for yourself.
"I imagine most people giving this film raving reviews simply feel like they have to because it has an important message in it."
Yeah, no.
Also you clearly don't understand the definition of cinematography - which is concerning for someone who touts herself as a filmmaker.

As far as Taxi Driver goes, I only saw the first 10 minutes. That was what bored me. After all, I did say that I didn't finish it. (as in, it's not my overall opinion of the movie because I haven't actually seen it) Plus, I'm not sure what the importance of seeing what started this string of really boring movies about sulking in a car, on a train, in your room etc. is. My point is that the idea is 43 years old and it hasn't changed for the better. Even when you're watching the OG, 43 years is still plenty of time to realize that we just might need something stronger than someone saying "we live in a society" for 2 hours.

And at this point, I honestly fail to see why you watch any of my reviews when you dislike just about every video I've ever done.

I tried to establish that it is my personal opinion, which is why I mentioned the grief at all.
And I said that I let the movie set. It was boring. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't put grief in the same boat as boredom.
And I stated that I used the word the way I typically heard the word being used, as a means to describe camera work, which is...a part of film making, no?
And at this point, I honestly fail to see why you watch any of my reviews when you dislike just about every video I've ever done.
As for your reviews: I watched the Her review because you were asking for opinions about your videos and how to improve them and at the time Her was the only movie you'd reviewed that I'd even seen. I watched the Joker review because it's about Joker.
Not that I need to have any justification for watching any publicly posted YouTube video. Funny how you claim to want views without actually wanting views.

I mean, the copyrighted songs had a habit of coming out of nowhere but it was in the nitpick category so I didn't mention it. Other than that, I guess the music was okay. When I say that it's an average film, I do mean everything is okay.

You offered zero support for this opinion except to say that you hated the film's message and the way it handled Arthur's illness. The implication being that this somehow means other people only claim to love it because it has a message.
You keep saying that I'm allowing my loss to affect my opinion of the film but I said it was boring. I fail to see how grief in anyway translates to being bored. I've let the film sink in for 3 weeks. It's what I got out of it.
I'm pretty sure I've heard others use the word to describe camera work on channels that are similar to mine.
They disappeared because I didn't like them in the first place and no one else seemed to like them. They're being reworked for my views to be communicated better.
I was just thinking that after Her and the vlog that you wouldn't be interested in my type of work. (Again, that's not saying that my work is better than everyone else's, it's as in, "the stuff I do")

You saw ten minutes of a movie and judged it?? That's not fair at all. I would at least wait until an hour through before making your judgements about a movie, especially Taxi Driver. There are more themes in that movie than just tired messages about society and socialism, many more. I would suggest watching it all the way through before calling it boring.

I opened a notepad to write what you were saying and later can make a comment about it. I stopped at 3:40, and I wanted to stop the video earlier. I'm not even going to start by how ordinary you seem to think Joaquin's performance was, and how you see movies as something you have to wait for the good part. You never saw Taxi Driver until some days ago, and I'm suppose to spend time writing an opinion on your opinion of a movie? Think again honey, just think again. By the way, you're probably perfect for the guy that watched the movie with you. 'It's Taxi Driver, but with the Joker', 'Taxi Driver is boring'? Learn how to appreciate and then think about creating something. You're far, very far. You don't even know why you don't like something.
