[YMS] So I saw Dallas Buyers Club and it was a pretty good movie.
Its really interesting to see Matthew McConaughey get so many roles
where hes actually able to play a character.
When not too long ago he was only really in shit movies.
But I'm glad hes grown out of that because he is a really good actor.
Paired with a noteworthy performance from Jared Leto, Its understandable why this
movie has a lot of Oscar attention.
And you know what? I'm kinda glad that this movie is getting a bit of attention.
People should be aware that money is often the swaying point for the FDA.
Now, even though the presentation is a little formulated,
the subject matter and the performances make this movie very interesting.
The only thing that really bugged me was the last shot,
which I'm not going to spoil, don't worry.
It just felt kinda awkward and unnecessary.
It will likely make my list for 2013 but I doubt its a movie that I'll watch more than twice.
Despite the subject matter being something that's not shown too often,
the overall presentation made me feel that I've kinda seen this movie before.
Now I don't think that there was anything really technically wrong with it.
So if this is your favourite movie at the end of the year then good on you.
But, although I did consider this to be a better film than American Hustle,
it still didn't strike me as particularly exceptional.
The movie was consistently right where I expected it to be, the whole time.
There's no real shocks or surprises.
But still, its clear that effort was put in this film to make it better than most movies this year.
I'd say check this one out and see for yourself.
But I'm giving this one a seven out of ten.

Hey guys, just giving you an update on the new YMS review.
I'm sure you're all excited, I am too.
Its going to be real good.
Its something that I was wanting to review since before I started doing the Waking Dead stuff.
And now that there--
Now that I have a file, like, its out on DVD and Blu-Ray and I can edit it, now I'm making it.
Uhh, I expected that it would be a regular YMS, 20 minute length, review.
Its turning to be much longer and its going to be at least 45 minutes.
Probably over 50 minutes.
But I'm trying to get the whole thing done for this month.
If I cant get the whole thing done for this month,
I can at least get the first half of it done, for this month,
and then I can make the actual pay cut off for Patreon.
If you're confused about what I'm talking about, then just click the link down below.
Because its the only reason that I'm able to do this full time right now.
It used to be that a 20 minute YMS review would take me tree or four months,
now I'm pushing out that and much more within the course of one month.
Because this is my job now. And since this is my job and since my patrons, you guys,
well not every single one of you but you know who you are,
are supporting me. I want to be as transparent as possible and not have any surprises.
So that's why I'm making this video.
just letting you know that there's a good chance that it will be split into two,
but it's not going-- I'm not going to make you wait a month to see the second part.
And if I do wind up splitting it in two, what I'm going to try and do is release the first part
just on my website. Just so it can be on the down low so that when I do wind up
putting part one on YouTube, witch ideally will be as soon as part two is ready,
then they can both come out at the same time.
And then when there's a decent amount of attention on the video then it can all be directed to YouTube.
Because even though I do have backup stuff on my website hosted through springboard,
right now I'm in the mindset that it's better to have those views on YouTube.
The only real benefit to premiering my reviews on my website first is just so that I have an option
if the copyright content ID system stuff takes a long time for YouTube
so that I can still get things out within the deadline of a month.
Even if YouTube's copyright system is like
"Brp, copyright. I'm going to slow you down.
You know? That way I'm at least able to get the content out and that if I'm getting money for content,
you guys are still able to watch it within the time frame.
So uhh, it is going to be two parts most likely.
Ideally like, even if I do release the whole thing this month its still going to be in two parts.
But I'm going to try and release them as close together as possible.
Also, Google Hangout for my ten dollar plus patrons is going to be on
February eighth, three PM pacific time, Saturday.
2014.
Uhh, one thing that I just found out last time is that Google caps the amount of people in a hangout.
It's something that I guess we might just have to deal with.
I don't like the idea of someone pledging ten dollars for me--
And even though, even though its not like people are paying ten dollars to hang out with me on a Google Hangout.
People are paying money for the content and that's a perk right?
But still, I don't like the idea of someone having the expectation or getting their hopes--
Or even taking time off to attend it and then not being able to because its full.
So if anybody has any solutions to that, if...
I don't know, its a good program because I've used web based ones where its mostly just chat
and then one person is on video.
And a lot of the times they're laggy and they don't work very well.
Google Hangouts works well but I don't like the cap and its frustrating because I don't...
I don't like the idea of ripping people off.
You guys are my source of income and my job and I want to keep a good relationship with
you guys and not be a dick and I don't want to feel like I'm ripping people off.
So if anybody has any solutions if there's other programs that don't cap around that amount.
We might just have to deal with it and I feel horrible about it and..
I mean like, last month was the first time that it ever hit ten.
So that's the only reason I just found out about it is because someone was like
"hey I can't get in."
They managed to get in later but it was still kinda like...
that kinda presents itself as a problem.
Ya know the guy that made Patreon, Jack Conte, or however you pronounce his name?
That's one of his perks is a Google Hangout.
But I never would have imagined that it's as simple as
"oops there's already ten people. better luck next time."
We might have to deal with it, that might have to be what continues to happen
but I guess now you guys know about it as well as me.
Also, the Razzie awards. Its like the Oscars except they pick the worst movies of the year
and its not as professional and not televised.
They're having an Indie Go-Go campaign so they can televise or stream their 2015 awards show.
I donated ten bucks.
So if you guys feel like donating, donate there.
No they're not paying me to say this but I think that its important to have people
call out movies that are bad.
And even though their choices are probably ones that I don't agree with,
ya know, its as much of a business as the Oscars.
As in, even if you think something is the worst or best movie of the whole year,
if nobody has seen it you're not going to pick it because you need to have
some sort of attendance or viewership in order to be relevant.
And if its all a bunch of movies that no one knows about then no ones going to watch it,
no one's going to pay attention or look it up.
Anyway, umm, its the fuckin' Razzies ya know.
The Razzies need to keep existing.
Even-even if, uhh, they're not entirely accurate as to what the worst movie of the year is.
If you want a hint on what my next YMS review is, its got at least one Razzie nomination for this year.
Uhh, anyway I'm sure you guys will love this next YMS coming out.
Its one of my better ones.
And again, its...
I expected it to be short and it just turned out to be long.
So the one that I do after this one I'm actually going to take an easier target
and make something that's like 20 minutes.
That way I can also, during that month I can, uhh watch the shit tons of movies that I need to,
to make my 2012 list.
2012 right? Why aren't I making my 2013 list?
Maybe you should check out some of my top ten of the year videos and you'll find out
'cause I explain it in every single one.
Anyway, uhh yeah, the 2012 one will probably come out in like April.
Aaagh, I'm just rambling but you guys are awesome
and thanks for helping me out and helping me do this full time.
Uhh, I said everything I needed to.
(Sucks teeth) Bye!
