WATCH ALONG: The Titanic

Now - I treated this like it was the VHS copy.  and I stopped it right when I think the VHS cut in half. 

WATCH ALONG: The Titanic

Comments

You are one person but you make over 6k$ a month doing it... get a grip

aWkie

To me, that makes sense for those who aren't Patrons, but part of the reason I pay for the Patreon, in addition to getting to vote and communicate with Ashleigh, is the ability to watch these a little early, which (in my mind) includes a 2-part video, just because I assumed the watch-along would be, well, me watching the whole movie. That's not to say I'm upset or anything. I saw it wasn't the whole thing and will just wait to watch Titanic when the whole thing is offered. I only mean that not getting to watch the full movie in a watch-along wasn't something I had considered.

Tyler Foster

Using youtube to upload copyrighted videos is kinda bad too, its blocked in many countries as my own. She makes close to 6000$ a month and cant afford dropbox? Nah this is a cancel.

aWkie

Girl you got a life in addition to reacting for us. I get it and think you should take the time you need. I would rather you be well rested and enjoy the movies so we get your reactions instead of exhausted yawns :)

ADHDwondergirl

I totally understood the attempt to split it like an old VHS tape. Putting (Part 1) in the title probably would have cut down on half the complaining, but I thought it was a fun idea to do it this way. Alas. The internet...

Robert Reichle

Really? Folks that upset over Titanic? I was gonna skip the watch along anyway. We all know Jack could fit on that door with her but she just lets him drown.

Joe Blankenship

it did surprise me that it was only half of the movie, but I'm ok with that (perhaps I missed you saying that it's gonna be a 2 part watch at the beginning). anyways I don't think there's a place for "I'm canceling my sub" for this. she wanted to experiment, and that's ok for me. on a different note, I just saw a nice explanation on The Top Secret Navy Mission that Accidentally Rediscovered the Titanic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQK4CM1Rymo

Matthew even if she did it wouldn't be many and from what I have seen on here dozens of people want a slot so it wouldn't solve anything.

Mark Sylvester

What do MMM slots have to do with this issue?

Mark Sylvester

Useless comment...I remember the VHS copy. It split right when the dude said something like "oh this ship can sink and IT WILL."

Holly Perkins

Would you be open to adding MMM-tier slots, if that's doable? I'd love to try for a slot, but only if that's doable for you -- I wouldn't want to overload you with MMMs. :-(

Matt Blanchette

The issue is, there are only four MMM slots, and all of them are taken -- wish there were more open, but I've been told that's not an option. :-(

Matt Blanchette

I remember that, too.

Matt Blanchette

Just pretend this week there was no release and watch both next week. Same difference.

Matt Gwinn

I'm kind of surprised at the negative comments (to this extent) here. I did however expect to see them on Youtube since there's no "Part 1" in the video title. I expected her to get flack on there for that, but not on here.

Kenton Kruger

My guess is that they block it because of the bits she left at the beginning so synch our copies, but even that is very strict...

Monica Alarcon

Really seems weird they could block it when the movie isn't shown.

Kenton Kruger

Now that strikes me as an overreaction. And I'm with C.A.; I can see being annoyed by it but if $4 is going to break you spending $10 a month on this Patreon might not be the wisest financial decision.

Kenton Kruger

I wasn't going to do the watch along because I didn't want to sit through the 3 hours again. But split works better for me. I don't say that to belittle others concerns. I see now that things that work for me might not for others.

Mark Sylvester

Well said Oouga! Anyone who had issues with this only had to politely address them with Ashleigh. She has shown in the past that she will do what she can to satisfy any complaints.

Mark Sylvester

I think this was wonderful. Yes, I would have liked all of it, but I am perfectly fine to wait for the rest. And, my God woman, you are trying to do this while your grandmom is ill? Whatever you need to do to keep yourself in a good place, but take some time for you and yours. Your true fans and friends will be willing to wait on you. After all, it's a very stressful time for you!

Oouga

I'll re-edit the watch along for A FULL watch along and get it up as soon as I can. Please remember I am ONE person doing all of this.

Ashleigh Burton

Hi everyone - I have all the above comments and understand your confusion and frustration. I didn't think it was fair for one tier to see all the reaction while another tier had to wait for part two. I see now that it is a pain to watch part and not all of it. I was trying to go along with the classic two part VHS because I thought it would be fun. Hey! Try new things and learn what does and does not work. I also tried really hard to make sure I had plenty of content to go up while my grandmother was dying - I edited all the way there and all the way back to make sure everything worked. If you're unhappy with how I provided this - you can unsubscribe, it's okay. I wouldn't stick around and pay for money for something I felt wasn't what I was promised. BUT there is no reason to be hateful.

Ashleigh Burton

I just joined to watch the full movie with you now. Pretty disappointed there was no indication that it's split into two parts.

Foggy

yeah, not sure there is a point to having a watchalong that stops half way through. Any other reactor that has watched titanic just goes all the way through. I still love your content!

INFINITE WILL

You guys calm down it’s not that serious. Next Monday will be here before you know it & kill bill?! I’m super excited for that one!

Elizabitty213

I'm not as annoyed by this as some of the people here, but I definitely would've preferred getting the whole movie on the watch-along tier this week and then nothing next week versus having it split like this. Maybe something to consider for next time.

Tyler Foster

I absolutely love Ashleigh's reactions, she is a joy to watch. I just strongly disagree with her action here. There are reasons why most reactors I've experienced have a different release schedule for their Patreon and their YouTube. Things like splitting up long movies into multiple YouTube cuts while still having uncut reactions on Patreon is one of them. Although, even then, what I am used to seeing is actually releasing all of the YouTube segments at the same time or close together, instead of actually making each segment be its own regular release slot. I mean, what is the appeal for anybody to wait a full week in the middle of a movie?

Thomas Yanez

That was like Abbott and Costello React to Titanic. You guys kill me.

Uncle 'Traveling' Matt

I’m with you Lynnetta. I’m disheartened by it as well. There were two options to this. She could either split the Patron review or have no MMM for Patreon next week. Patreon is the same movie as YouTube each week, so splitting it for YouTube means either splitting it for Patreon or have nothing for Patreon Sunday/Monday next week. So people would either complain this week for a split reaction on Patreon or complain next week over no reaction. Because complainers will complain regardless.

Amy Silknitter

I do understand the disappointment in the watch along being broken up in to two parts without a heads-up, however, she did just return home this weekend from her grandmother's funeral, and was likely trying her hardest to edit and get even this first part up for the lowest tier Patreons and YouTube. I'm disheartened that her upper level Patreons are being so unkind right now.

Lynnetta

Good idea since you stated that you’re on a fixed income and money is tight. In such a situation, perhaps having a Patreon subscription was a bad decision

C. A.

David don't cancel over this listen to Amy.

Mark Sylvester

Hubbin was on point with his jokes.

Murf

Besides the movie being split it's blocked in certain countries such as mine, so I'm not getting what I paid for... (although I understand this isn't Ashleighs fault, I'm pissed at FOX, not at her)

Monica Alarcon

I commented this above, but in case you don't see it up there, I would be happy to paypal you the $3.99 so you can finish the movie next week if you don't cancel your Ashleigh subscription.

Amy Silknitter

I will happily paypal you the $3.99 if you don't cancel your Patreon to Ashleigh.

Amy Silknitter

Wow, that's kind of a petty reaction to a guy's valid concern.

Thomas Yanez

Ashleigh, I’m sorry, but I’ll be canceling my Patreon subscription with your channel over this.

David Olden

Agreed, @David Olden. These guys are talking about the YouTube cuts, not the Patreon watch-along cuts.

Thomas Yanez

@Nathan Swapp Go look in Nat's Patreon and you'll see that while she physically split the LoTR full-length cuts into multiple sections, they were RELEASED TOGETHER. As I just mentioned, I've seen watch-along cuts split for file size considerations, but not for multiple releases.

Thomas Yanez

Sure, it is common to see YouTube cuts split up over multiple releases. In fact, it is often a good thing as it allows the creator to add more original movie content to their reaction. And, with the extra editing that goes along with YouTube cuts, it can also mean additional release dates. But the Patreon watch-along doesn't have any such limitations. Now, I have seen some creators cut up the watch-alongs for file size considerations, when they are giving the option to download, but they are usually released together. I only say "usually" there because I have, obviously, not seen every watch-along ever created. But, I have seen many, across many creators, and I have never personally experienced them delaying sections of a watch-along.

Thomas Yanez

No, Mark. Natalie did one session. I know, I saw it. (Maybe you’re thinking of her edited YouTube version?)

David Olden

And she split Fellowship of the Ring into 2 parts and Two Towers and Return of the King into 3 parts each.

Nathan Swapp

I believe Natalie Gold split Endgame in half.

Mark Sylvester

David, sorry that you'll have to spend an extra $3.99. You may never financially recover from this.

Nathan Swapp

Not common with reactions I’ve seen of 3 hour movies. I just finished a 4 hour reaction to Dances with Wolves the director’s cut —not split! And every reaction I’ve seen for Avengers Endgame (3 hrs) were all done in ONE session. I’m on a fixed income so money is tight! Don’t tell me to chill out because I CANT AFFORD IT!

David Olden

Amy, I rented this for the watch along, you have 48 hrs once you start playing. I discovered it was Part 1 only after I started playing, which means I will have to rent it AGAIN for part 2! You bet I’m ticked for having to spend twice as much to watch it! (I tapped the notification for this and it took me straight to “The Titanic: Watch Along”)

David Olden

Everyone needs to chill out. It's an over 3 hour film, it's very common to split long movies into 2 parts in reactions.

Nathan Swapp

The Titanic splits in half before it sinks so Ashleigh split her reaction in half. It's all thematic so like Amy said Chill Out!

Mark Sylvester

My perspective is this : we only get two movies a week. The uncut Patreon version shouldn't require much in the way of editing - especially since Ashleigh doesn't even provide a full-time sync image. Hell, the uncut watch-along doesn't even need the into/outro segments, because fans of those (like myself) can get them by watching the YouTube cut. Splitting a movie up over two weeks just seems... I dunno, unnecessary. She certainly doesn't need the additional content; at two movies a week, she's easily set for the lifetime of her channel.

Thomas Yanez

Why is everyone so bitter? My goodness. Chill out. I can see being upset if it was a MMM Member Request, and even then, only for the person who paid the hundred bucks to request it, not everybody else.. It's not that big a deal.

Amy Silknitter

Ah, well, that's a pretty solid confirmation then :) Thanks.

Uncle 'Traveling' Matt

At the end of the video.

David Crabtree

Forgive me, but has Ashleigh actually confirmed anywhere that pt2 is not coming until next week? All I see above is (seemingly) conjecture.

Uncle 'Traveling' Matt

I can understand why she'd break up the YT version over two weeks; it's a long movie and editing is time-consuming. But the Patreon watch-along, with hardly any editing required? Maybe it's some misguided attempt at a tease? No one thinks of Titanic as a series. It's a stand-alone movie, so when people plan to watch Titanic, they set aside a serious chunk of the day for it. To do that to people who've set aside that much time on a holiday weekend isn't cool. At least announce it.

Alex Pierce

So you wanted it to be like the VHS and split it into 2 parts? That's just fine. But with the VHS tape, we could watch the second part right away. I think this is a bogus decision.

David Crabtree

Apparently, she’s releasing Pt 2 next Monday. 😒 I love Ashleigh… But this made me sad… I’m just going to wait to watch this movie reaction until I can watch the WHOLE THING. “Kill Bill Vol 1” and “Kill Bill Vol 2” were released as individual films, so that’s fine but splitting up Titanic? No. 😭

Crystal Wood

Wait, you're splitting this patreon movie reaction over 2 weeks?! Oh for f*** sake!

David Crabtree

Ouch. I just joined, and really hate that my first comment is going to be on the negative side, but I really, really wish there had been some kind of heads-up that you were breaking up the movie over two weeks. It would've had a real impact on my plans for this holiday weekend.

Alex Pierce

Where is part 2??

David Crabtree

Well, I'm not gonna skip it... just gonna wait for the whole thing to be available, because yeah.

Thomas Yanez

Nevermind. I'll skip this one. What's the point of doing the watcha long in two parts??

Monica Alarcon

That’s disappointing. The VHS tapes come together to watch back to back. 😢

Crystal Wood

Next week.

Amy Silknitter

"Blocked on copyright grounds"

Alex

There is a scene a few minutes on where Andrews explains to the captain the severity of the situation. As that scene ends that's where the VHS ends.

Alexander Fish

So this is just Titanic Watch Along - Pt 1. When will Pt 2 be posted?

Crystal Wood

OKay got the url but I just can't watch it... if only there were a direct link to download the video...

Monica Alarcon

Would anybody please copy and paste the Youtube URL for the video so I can find an alternative and watch it here? please?

Monica Alarcon

OOOH NOOOO, blocked in my country!!
