Edit: I'm not actually opposed to watching movies with directors cuts. Just realized I love watching ridiculously long video essays about movies, but almost never watch directors commentaries. Not sure why, probably availability.

Also I heightened the phrasing for comedic purposes ;)

Why would anybody listen to a random youtuber over the actual director when it comes to a film?

[-] endhits@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

In the case of movies like the Star Wars sequels, because the directors and producers sniff their own farts and don't realize their movies are terrible.

Same, I do not feel this post at all. If you as a YouTuber can't do some good research and write a longform essay (like Lindsay Ellis), I will pick director and crew over any random youtuber.

I did heighten the phrasing for comedic purposes. I mean essayists like Lindsay Ellis ;)
