GREASE ON FILM
Added 2025-01-17 15:23:19 +0000 UTC
Oh, kids, it's been ages since we've dabbled in the lost art of the YouTube Movie Review, mostly due to the copyright bot's insistence that Fair Use is a joke and that someone could get the same experience of viewing Borderlands by watching my video. Oh, no, this thing is way less painful than watching that piece of shit.
It was even worse that I thought it would be and that's saying something.
Now that its finally been cleared for release by the copyright holders, I present a fully cracked rundown of this terrible, terrible slop.
Don't worry, after a short vacation at the end of the month, I'm going to be going right back to games. Looking at Jazz Jackrabbit and Jedi Knight 2 (finally) as the next vids. Hard at work preparing for the new year. Hope you all had a great holiday and New Year!

P.S. Yes, YouTube fought me on the video itself, but that one song? They licensed it to me for cheap. Fucking crazy.

If you'd like to have a different name in the credits than what you pledged with, leave me a comment, or DM me on here or Twitter or discord or whatever. If your name is wrong, not included, or anything else, shoot me a message calling me an asshole and telling me to fix it.
Or if you want one of those fancy colored names that everyone gets now if they want. The credits in the video are usually a couple of days behind the actual patron list so if you don't see your name, it will be in the next upload

Cavill's a 40K nerd if that's any consolation.

Its bad but its still not nearly as heart breaking as the Halo show. Just fills me with some dread on how the Wh 40k show with Cavil might be.

Ooh! Jazz Jackrabbit!
I guess you played the DOS version but there is an open source recreation OpenJazz which gives you higher resolutions etc (there's a browser version here: https://openjazz.github.io/ )
The sequel was pretty decent, but has a very problematic second character in Jazz's brother Spaz. There's a open port of that too (Jazz² Resurrection) which adds a third playable character.

This film makes me angry. Not Silent Hill Revelations 3D angry, but still

I coundn't even finish watching your review. The second-hand cringe overpowered me.

Oh no. Okay. Let me just put on my hazmat suit and Anti Grease Patch and then I'll hit play. Looks like this was a bad week to stop sniffing glue.
*EDIT* Oh my God. It was so much worse than my already low expectations were... expecting. Jesus H Randall S Christ.

Many thanks Civvie. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas holiday. I love the Ole Foghorn btw! I literally got duck eggs for Christmas, my house duck finally started laying eggs.

Good shit. The video, obviously, not the movie.
Honestly, while it may just be my bias in favor of cinematography talking, it looks like the big thing making everything look fake is the lighting. Which I guess does overlap with the effects problem, since it was transparently lit for green screen.

Y'know it's a little thing, but after years of jokes it's neat knowing Civvie (to some extent) does enjoy the games
Oh and yeah 2s NG+ are pretty rough, you're not wrong there

If Civvie's a content monkey this is animal abuse.
Still gonna watch it though.

Everytime i think of Eli Roth i keep remembering about DVD of Luico Fulci's The Beyond i got, he did a write up of the film and inserted a scene at the beginning to "Help it make more sense"...
That film made no sense what so ever and that beginning bit Just did nothing, but made me question what was the point. Zombie Flesh Eaters is the only Fulci film that made sense and that barely made any sense,

Every time I read, "Hey kids," dopamine rushes to my brain and I become a little more parasocial.

This was kind of a Thing back in the early computing days. Jazz had a christmas episode, Lemmings had christmas episodes, Lotus (Of 1-2-3 fame) sent out Christmas house themed greeting cards that played O Holy Night on the PC speaker, it was a fun time.

CliffyB would certainly rather we forget the cute bunny game exists for... some reason. Don't know what. Embrace the silly bunny game you made as a twentysomething, Cliff. It's not like we could play Sonic the Hedgehog on our dos machines back then.

Ohhh yeah, Jazz Jackrabbit! The game I've spent thousands more hours playing in my CD player than playing as a video game, but Alexander Brandon's music on Jazz 2 is sublime.

This is one of those movies where you have to wonder why it was released in that state.

Nope, sorry, no Travolta musicals here. I can't even imagine that copyright nightmare.

The oddest thing, I watched and dl'd it on YT. VERY glad I didn't pay to see it.

For some reason when I saw the notification I thought you were covering the 78 movie with John Travolta. I thought “I know Civvie is a boomer, but damn.”
Dayton Green

for crying out loud, this movie is just terrible, even beneath Uwe Boll standards, at least his older game based movies are entertainingly bad, this is just offensive to common sense.

Which ones? The copy I got from GoG has a million episodes, and that's not even including the sequel. I played through all of them already, including the Christmas episode, but not the second Christmas episode. They really loved Christmas over at Epic Megagames, I guess.
