TulipO Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Have you guys seen Plinkett reviews yet?

Mr. Hakujin Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Was there not a thread for these reviews already? Yeah, this guy's reviews need to be released in 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Ahhhhaha. I've somehow never seen these before. 10 minutes in, and I'll definitely be sitting through it all. Prota - gone - ist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TulipO Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 When I saw them, I immediately thought of Hondo's and looked for an existing thread. Couldn't find it though. He also does the new Indiana Jones movie. Its fucking priceless. I want him to do more disappointing movies!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Finished both parts, they are really well done. In the long run, I could probably do without the Dax Shepherd voice. Funny shit though and some really good points made. I've never actually sat down and watched Phantom Menace. After an 80 minute review, I now feel more up to speed than ever.

Mr. Hakujin Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 That's shameful that Hondo's had no Plinkett thread until now. Thanks for rectifying the situation, Tulip! But I'm pretty sure his stuff has shown up elsewhere, maybe blargh b/c I'm like 80% sure it was Newt that first turned me on to the reviews. Anyway, the only one I reallydidn't care for was his Abrams Star Trek review. The rest are gold. And the Crystal Skull one is a gem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newtype Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 RedLetterMedia is a motion picture production company headed by Milwaukee-based independent filmmaker Mike Stoklasa, previously of GMP Pictures, as well as Jay Bauman, formerly of Blanc Screen Cinema. Stoklasa attracted significant attention in 2009, through a 70-minute video review of the 1999 film Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. The review was posted in seven parts on YouTube, and presented by his character "Harry S. Plinkett". While Stoklasa had published other video reviews for the Star Trek films in The Next Generation series prior to this, The Phantom Menace and subsequent Star Wars prequel reviews were praised for both content and presentation. Stoklasa's reviews have been considered part of an emerging art form that hybridize mashup with video essays, as they use a combination of footage from the movie in question, other related sources (such as clips from the original Star Wars trilogy movies for his Phantom Menace review and clips from documentaries about the production of the film), still images including title cards, and short, live-action segments. The combination of the Mr. Plinkett character and other elements used to present the reviews have been considered "a very clever attack on a certain kind of dumbass fanboy style of film reviewing". The reviews have also been criticized by some Star Wars prequel fans. Stoklasa stated that he feels "Star Wars to some people is like a religion so they respond to attacks on it as such." One person had posted that he would punch Stoklasa if they ever met,while another wrote a 108-page point-by-point rebuttal of the Phantom Menace review, which Stoklasa mocked in a video that announced that his Revenge of the Sith review was online <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://a.blip.tv/api.swf#AYKwyhEC" style="display:none"></embed> <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://a.blip.tv/api.swf#AYKwyC8C" style="display:none"></embed> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsonfire Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I saw their Star Trek movie reviews years ago. They were half an hour long and had incredible levels of insight and detail which I really liked. The hook was the reviewer pretends to be a creepy old man. Is that still the case? I can only imagine the Prometheus one is negative. Maddox set the bar with this for the most meticulous dismantling of a movie I've seen in a blog.

Little Nemo McFly Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I've been trying to get Panch to watch these prequel reviews! They are BRILLIANT! Half in the Bag Reviews are so well done. They tear movies apart, but they're fair. I don't always agree, but I love their style. So awesome that they have a thread at Hondo's! They're my cup of tea.

Little Nemo McFly Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) Prophetic review. I think these guys had a purge - all their old / million hit videos are like, months old now. Odd.
