As Film Threat evolved into a respected national magazine, he relocated to Los Angeles. The print magazine was retired in 1997 when it was re-launched as a web site. FilmThreat.com found a huge audience online and was named one of the top five movie web sites by the Wall Street Journal. Chris has appeared as a film expert on MSNBC, E!, CNN, Travel Channel, and Reelz Channel. Chis has also hosted shows on FX, Starz, IFC and G4TV’s Attack of the Show as the show’s film expert. His weekly movie review segment DVDuesday was among the most popular on G4. Chris is also an author, having written The 50 Greatest Movies Never Made and The Complete DVD Book. His book The Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide is considered the bible of the industry and is required reading at film school.

He's right. Actors and Actresses baiting and bullying the audience, in this case ardent Tolkien fans and admirers of Jackson's Masterpiece or a Masterpiece. To the professional pretenders and their studio handlers, if a fan of both or one of the works above objects or criticizes the reproduction, the fan base are dismissed and called 'Trolls" for failure to pander.

Fans do not bully artist, artist attack fans, then Fans attack back. Constantly being called "Racist" and "Homophobe" for pointing out badly written token stories and that saying things like "If we don't have black people in it black people won't be able to relate" asif black people are incapable of showing empathy with anyone other than blacks, isn't fans bullying. That's fan being decent human beings and hollywood writters and actors acting like subhuman garbage and than claiming their attacked. Give me 1 direct good example otherwise of a fan out of no where attacking a actor or movie, I dare you.

In my personal opinion it often comes down to: as soon as you see that the celebrity has a pretty strange view on life - that makes it odd. Alot of them simply don't seem to be very bright, informed, but still put out their thoughts without really going into research. It feels like alot of them have a world view that is disconnected from reality propably because they are... as the top % in terms of money, you aren't close to the "normal, every day" person anymore.

You can't act, shoot, edit, or post what's not in the script. The people who green-light productions cannot read a basic script. They have no clue. They only know what stimulates their own personal interests. I had a client push back on what radio station we were proposing to advertise his business on "the girls in the office don't listen to those stations." We pulled out of the advertising because we don't campaigns that are destine to fail just to make a buck today and tarnish our reputation tomorrow. He did not understand that we made commercials targeted to the people most likely to purchase his services and become repeat business/regular clients. I'm telling you this story because the people with the power to purchase and control budgets are rarely the best people to control content and medium.

@rolfknappmann Жыл бұрын

The two ideas that really stood out for me in this brilliant piece of YT-content are: - Social media is worse to us than smoking - filmmakers change a movie based on the opinion of some random, loud screaming people on the internet (that's what a mob is) that might not even be among those, who actually pay to see the work What I don't get is the disclaimer in the end. It makes you look a bit like you were afraid of that very Twitter mob he's talking about... :( edit: Listening to fans is a different thing entirely. For example the change of the design for sonic in his movie.

@seri-ously8591 Жыл бұрын

Like he stated, "I think being beholden to the Twitter mob is just the worst thing someone's who's creative can do". It's pretty easy for someone to just snip parts of this video and post it on twitter to change the narrative and make false context out of. That kind of thing is rampant on Twitter and is likely an aspect as to why he doesn't want to deal with the many mobs on Twitter.

@Arkaine197 Жыл бұрын

@@freman007 The easy litmus test to see if the online criticism is worth listening to is to ask "Who is driving this? And what do they want?" In the case of the people asking if Sonic can be made to look more like classic Sonic you can clearly and decisively answer both of those questions: It's classic fans of the IP asking, and their intention is to make the product more marketable by bringing it more in line with the original Sonic design, appealing to older fans who have a great deal of nostalgia for classic Sonic. But let's take an example where it isn't worth listening to, in the case of the new Scooby Doo which intends to redesign Velma as a lesbian, who was asking for that? It was the journo's, blue checkmarks who represent a small fraction of the population and an even smaller portion of the viewer base, it certainly wasn't the children who watch Scooby Doo. And what do they want? They want to create a firestorm with a controversial change which will divide the watchers into two groups, and then set them against each other. That isn't going to help market the product at all, quite the opposite.

Rings of Power is not art, its an investment, which Amazon is now trying to protect. I remember watching the making of from the original LOTR trilogy, you could see and feel the passion from, not just Peter Jackson, but all the actors involved and how deeply they connected to Tolkien's work and their characters. Everything they put in those movies, even the smallest details were purposeful. Many of the production aspects were experimental, not just visual effects but the logistics of the whole enterprise which was massive. Nothing of this dimension has ever been attempted until then, and there was a lot of risk taking, including personal risks from the director as well as all the cast and crew. A lot was riding on this, but their passion kept the project going to a resounding success. Rings of Power is lifeless in comparison. There's no passion, no personal involvement from anyone in production, no attachment and respect to the original material, nothing. Its just another Tuesday at Amazon. Cash flow, quarterly ends, investor's calls. Money. No passion, no commitment, no risks, nothing, just a vacuous shiny shell.

His insights into the movie business are always interesting. He's so right about celebrities and how they just get more unlikeable if they use social media. That's why I dislike a lot of famous people now. There are just very few I still like and respect. It makes sense: Every time you read something about a person, the possibility that you read something that makes the person unlikable increases. And it's difficult to ignore that from that point in time. Also, I agree that social media influences the movies and shows itself is terrible for the creativity. They change them although they don't even know if the mob on twitter watches it at all. I don't understand why these big corporations care about these cry-babies online. Do they realize that people tend to voice their opinions if they are unhappy and not when they are happy with the product? Do they believe that these people are millions? Do they believe that the journalists' opinions are always on average in relation to the population? Do they realize that they hurt their own reputation and money making? It just doesn't make sense. I hope the people in these media companies realize that they alienate a lot of normal people if they make changes that feel like something that doesn't belong in these movies and shows. It seems that social media is like an unhealthy drug that makes people unable to be calm and reflective. Honestly, if nobody comes up with good rules and laws then society will get a lot worse.

Despite what Hollywood wants to think we don't hate strong women, we just want strong characters that happen to be women ... not women written to be strong because they are women, women who are basically written like men (because the writer apparently can't think of any femanin traits that they think can be strong), and especially not women that need to put men down to appear strong in comparison. Kim Possible was of my favorite Disney Channels shows and she was a girly girl that kicked ass! But despite having good examples of how to write a good female protagonist Hollywood keeps failing at it anyway.

This was some fantastic commentary. I think social media has basically become the digital tabloids publications, those magazines we would shun in the grocery checkout lane because the cover claims were so far off in left field. I appreciate how, even though this is about the film and television industry, this directly correlates to many other areas of creative expression.

I love most of what Chris says on these subjects, but for myself, if an actor bullies fans online I don't watch any more of that actor's work. You don't reward a child for bad behavior, and an adult should know better (and Kevin Smith is a great example). IMO. I guess that just makes Chris a better man than me...

8:05 describes me exactly, I'm sad to say. I've lost the ability to look past an artist's behaviour off screen. Chris is right, and perhaps he's a better man than I for being able to do it. But I just don't want to go to the extra effort any more. Life is too short for that, and there's plenty of content out there from artists who don't openly despise me.

@@maravertin There’s a legitimate point that a a terrible person can still make great art, which is what I think Chris was suggesting people focus on. And he’s right that we might miss out on something worthwhile if we boycott it because one of the creatives behind it is an a-hole. However, I tend to agree with you - it’s a holistic experience, and the creator is part of that. Since I have limited time to spend on enjoying films, books, video games, and I have to be selective about which I chose, why shouldn’t supporting creators who don’t despise me be part of that process?

Here's a blueprint for actors/creators dealing with crytical fans: "Thank you so much for your attention and money! Being in my position is a huge privilege and, while I love my work, this privilege is fundamented in the audience. The fact that you care so much and emotionally about the film/show I'm involved in further proves your passion for the art. That is amazing and fuels my own drive! I might not always agree with your position and critic but want to thank you once more for you passion and support!"

Zachary Levi is one of the few actors I've found who lives up to that. He has mentioned numerous times how "the fans are the producers". If they don't pay for, consume, or want the product, actors have nothing. Zachary Levi seems to have incredible humility and perspective and I can't help but respect and love him for it. He constantly calls himself blessed for being in the position he's in.

Training to be a good actor or writer and getting a contract because of it is not a "privilege", it's something you worked for and earned. Unless you literally got it by being the boss' nephew or something. Otherwise yes, being nice and thanking people a lot is of course always a good thing.
