20 years of my YouTube channel

I set up my YouTube channel on Apr 24, 2006. It has since grown to be around 220k subscribers, but I never intended it to be popular. I originally created it to post my videos. I originally made videos for myself and friends, and would post them on Gamespot User Videos, back when that site allowed users to upload their own videos. They would be silly little animations about videogames that I made on my computer. Some of my videos uploaded to Gamespot User Videos (the thumbnails were not saved by the Wayback Machine). The Paper Mario one is still available because I put it on YouTube, but the Star Fox one is lost forever. At the time, YouTube was already one year old and gaining in popularity, and since Gamespot User Videos was simply giving the same service as YouTube, I decided to start uploading some of my videos to YouTube as well. The first video was a reupload of a Paper Mario animation I had made for Gamespot User Videos: However, although nowadays my channel is practi...

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

I admit, it is a nice feeling being pandered to. This movie heavily pandered to me during its entire run, filled with a never-ending barrage of expertly animated and produced nostalgia-bait. However, that got old around the halfway mark, and the movie shows you for what it is; a collection of short comedy skits that are only slightly connected to each other, with their only purpose being to show you something you liked about Nintendo videogames, a bunch of jokes featuring those things, and then ending it with a Smash Bros-style fight scene. It's like having someone else play a really pretty remake of the best Mario games ever made. It's nice to see, nice to hear, but there is no substance at all, because you aren't playing it. This is a movie, there should have been a story, a narrative, something to make this movie watchable to anyone who *didn't* grow up with these games, but that is not the case. Illumination did improve in various aspects compared to the previous m...

Liam Neeson's The Naked Gun

The script was a really good remix of a lot of the Zucker movies of the era. A lot of really great gags (and some that flopped), but it was more of a nostalgia piece for older folk than something that can work as a new revival. The script also called for lots of really clever visual gags that the cinematography couldn’t cash. The decision to film it as if it was a contemporary thriller was clever on paper, but it made the visual gags awkward and forced, unlike the cinematography of the original show and movies that allowed for the viewer to seek them out in the background of shots. Liam Neeson was inspired casting, and he did an okay job in general; he actually seems a lot older in this movie than Leslie Nielsen did in his. I think it really could have been better, but in the end it was just in-between fine and good.
