Het is een genre op zichzelf geworden: video’s die elk aspect van een film op de rooster leggen. Sommige, zoals die van Honest Trailers, zijn grappig maar getuigen tegelijkertijd van een liefde voor cinema. Andere zijn een stuk bitser, bijvoorbeeld de video’s die CinemaSins de wereld instuurt.

De recentste video van CinemaSins gaat over Kong: Skull Island. Maar regisseur Jordan Vogt-Roberts laat niet zomaar over zich heen lopen. Op Twitter legt hij uit waarom hij niet houdt van de manier van aanpakken die CinemaSins hanteert.

Mystery Science Theatre built something artful, endearing and comedic on top of the foundation other people's work. It had merit to itself.

Things like Cinema Sins simply suck the life blood of other people and are often just wrong about intent or how cinema works. It's terrible.

Are you paying attention? That's not Shea Wigham's character. Try actually watching the movie. pic.twitter.com/VgN9Nfhft4

It's called a match cut or graphic rhyming. So yes. I could have shown it. This is a choice that has nothing to do with a graphic shot later pic.twitter.com/aFv0k5WYoG

This "cheap laugh" got no reaction prior to the election. It gets a reaction because the black mirror of the 70's we're living in. pic.twitter.com/LB9NFf5qna

Because it's inaccessible by boat and thus only discovered when we launched satellites in the 70's with cameras looking down at the earth. pic.twitter.com/VY54NIeO7F

Anyhow. I just wanted to point out why these videos are infuriating. They're often just wrong or think they're smarter than you.

— (((Jordan Vogt-Roberts))) (@VogtRoberts) August 15, 2017

To anyone who thinks this video makes me mad or hurts me. It doesn't. I just wanted to point out a few obvious examples that are just wrong.

— (((Jordan Vogt-Roberts))) (@VogtRoberts) August 15, 2017

It's like when trump lies on camera just because he can. It's infuriating and there are people out there who listen to him & cinema sins.

Maybe I'll return to this and watch their entire video if it doesn't make me hammer a nail through my dick and point out more errors.

Couple of things I want to say regarding cinema sins, the misuse of the word "satire" and a few more things. I need to put a bow on this.

For a video like that to be 18 minutes long it takes a rare combination of self importance and a lack of an ability to edit yourself.

— (((Jordan Vogt-Roberts))) (@VogtRoberts) August 16, 2017

What does a cinema sins episode make you feel in 18 minutes? Nothing. Feeling nothing for 3 minutes is fine. But 18 minutes? What a cop out.

— (((Jordan Vogt-Roberts))) (@VogtRoberts) August 16, 2017

18 minutes long? Are you kidding me? Seriously just let that sink in. It's just amateur hour.

Any artist, comedian, writer, filmmaker learns early on the most painful thing is killing your babies and cutting your work down.

— (((Jordan Vogt-Roberts))) (@VogtRoberts) August 16, 2017

The length of this is a big deal and one of the main things that bothers me (and most people skipped this when reposting my tweets.)

— (((Jordan Vogt-Roberts))) (@VogtRoberts) August 16, 2017

Cinema Sins scream excess as you watch their view count & ego grow like a parasite from being 3 minutes (LOOPER) to 19 minutes (CIVIL WAR).

— (((Jordan Vogt-Roberts))) (@VogtRoberts) August 16, 2017

Cinema Sins is the YouTube equal to Friedberg & Seltzer movies – (EPIC MOVIE, DATE MOVIE, MEET THE SPARTANS, DISASTER MOVIE, VAMPIRES SUCK)

— (((Jordan Vogt-Roberts))) (@VogtRoberts) August 16, 2017

Friedberg & Seltzer movies are not satire. They're a series of sketches and bits that basically say "REMEMBER THIS THING FROM POP CULTURE!?"

— (((Jordan Vogt-Roberts))) (@VogtRoberts) August 16, 2017

And NO, it's NOT satirizing nitpicking nerd culture. Regardless of how "self aware" they pretend to be…It IS nitpicking nerd culture.

— (((Jordan Vogt-Roberts))) (@VogtRoberts) August 16, 2017

You cannot just call something satire. You also can't pretend Friedberg & Seltzer movies are objectively good at what they do.

— (((Jordan Vogt-Roberts))) (@VogtRoberts) August 16, 2017

South Park is satire. It deeply understands and deconstructs what it's discussing and on top of that tells you a story w/ thematic relevance

— (((Jordan Vogt-Roberts))) (@VogtRoberts) August 16, 2017

Honest Trailers can be satire. They actually write and perform jokes with a point of view with sense of humor unique to that brand.

— (((Jordan Vogt-Roberts))) (@VogtRoberts) August 16, 2017

Red Letter Media's phantom menace review IS satire. They lampoon a certain type of nerd culture AND their takedown is accurate & thoughtful

— (((Jordan Vogt-Roberts))) (@VogtRoberts) August 16, 2017

The daily show & The Onion more accurately report the news through jokes. It is through humor people glean truth. That is the role of satire

— (((Jordan Vogt-Roberts))) (@VogtRoberts) August 16, 2017

Jokes require a degree of vulnerability as you put yourself out there for the joke to land or not. That's how good Comedy works.

— (((Jordan Vogt-Roberts))) (@VogtRoberts) August 16, 2017

Internet just want to say "he didn't get that it's a joke". Well, IF it's a "joke" or a satire THEN it's poorly-written & poorly-constructed

— (((Jordan Vogt-Roberts))) (@VogtRoberts) August 16, 2017

Try and find me a cinema sins "joke" that's not mean spirited towards the movie or the people who made it. Once again that is not satire.

— (((Jordan Vogt-Roberts))) (@VogtRoberts) August 16, 2017

Nothing in cinema Sins videos is "going for a joke" it hides behind a layer of factually attacking flaws & errors with no real point of view

— (((Jordan Vogt-Roberts))) (@VogtRoberts) August 16, 2017

When it does "go for a joke" it is ALWAYS oddly mean spirited.
