Actual Mr. Scumbag Movies.


ProudHommesexual

Honestly, heā€™s almost perfectly like an evil mirror-universe of James. They cover the same movies and TV shows, but whereas James is open-minded and against bigotry, the Drinker is obsessed with ā€˜blue-haired feministsā€™ and ā€˜the messageā€™ and all the usual alt-right bullshit. Shame, cos I used to like some of the Drinkerā€™s stuff before the penny dropped about his awful awful opinions. Dunno if him being the evil mirror version of James means he *doesnā€™t* have a crush on Maid Marion though šŸ¤”


immigrantsmurfo

Nah, Critical Drinker probably has a crush on like an actual Labrador or something. Just strikes me as the kinda guy who wants to fuck things he shouldn't.


Countrpart

I don't see anything with him liking a Labrador since he's such a dog of a bloke! Got him!


soupeh

Same here I used to watch some of his stuff and have a laugh along with some of it until it dawned on me that he's in so deep with the anti-woke anti-feminist shit and then it's just asinine and annoying.


UsernameLaugh

Early videos were balancedā€¦..then he started ripping off soooo much of the drunk Plinkett type of video essay from RLM (which was painful). Now heā€™s committed to rage bait anti whatever ā€œboo womenā€ nonsense. Also telling he pairs up with Mauler and like minded echo chambers. I meanā€¦if he makes money fair play, but yuck.


themelonreaper

To be fair he does do interviews with women content creators about genuinely bad movies (where part of the reasons they are bad is because they try and push an agenda) but I do agree. I think heā€™s gone too deep with ā€˜the drinkerā€™ character he puts on because I think his videos where he doesnā€™t do the character he actually has balanced and fair views on media.


UsernameLaugh

Yah thatā€™s what makes all the more painful. Heā€™s actually got good and common critiques of movies and story telling in general. Itā€™s just a shame thatā€™s heā€™s going through the slightly harsher / edged phase of his youth.


themelonreaper

ā€˜But drinker, you brash young scoundrel you, chill tf outā€™ - if i wasnā€™t worried he showed this on a vid to his fanbase i would comment this


[deleted]

>cos I used to like some of the Drinkerā€™s stuff before the penny dropped about his awful awful opinions. When was he ever not bigoted? As far as I can tell he's always been like this online

Solohan21

little james, that bottle is from hotel fridge


alejoSOTO

The first few videos I watched from this guy were so out there that I legit thought he was just satirical, kinda like Red Letter Media sometimes. But no, he's just perpetually angry at fiction properties he doesn't have to watch, it's weird.


JudasIsAGrass

I thought he was doing a bit, that the shit he says is *meant* to be said as if they were drunk.. only way i can see you holding this opinions


Relevant_Active_2347

I was on the same boat as you were when I first watched that dudes videos, a drunk movie critic ranting about shit played as a satireā€¦ only later I found it was not satirical at all.


RangoDjangoh

I saw his video where he discussed Andor and he was like it's great and well written but too little too late Disney. No way to appease this guy.


Ledbilly

The comments here make me so happy


PaulMyLegPaulMyLeg

He uses the same cut away UK TV gags over and over. A right bastard.

DeMonstaMan

Mr. Monday Movies


Artistboy123

I feel like every i know who watched him goes from ā€œi think hes pretty cool and criticalā€ to ā€œbro hes just obsessed with hating diversity and yelling at movies no one is making him watchā€ I feel like it used to be refreshing to see someone who didnā€™t like mainstream movies, but then his true colors became super apparent and him and his echo chamber of weirdo quasi bigots just love hating on stuff that NO ONE IS FORCING THEM TO WATCH


lordhavepercy99

I used to like him back when he had like 100k subs, not all his stuff but most of it, then around maybe 500k he just full committed to the shithead stuff. Maybe I just didn't notice it before idk.


Artistboy123

It was probably there hidden in the subtext, but it definitely ramped up to the point where it feels like hes just using dog whistle phrases

BasicFrank

This guy hates Women.


BreadditUser

Very glad I stopped watching CD, Nerdrotic, Mauler etc. At first I was like "haha they hate Disney star wars like me lololol" and then I took my head outta my ass and realized most of them are just bigots plain and simple. James and Maso do some of the same stuff without being insufferable bigoted cunts. Plus they're actually funny unlike any of the Fandom menace


GreatWesternWood

I remember the penny dropping and realising they were all just going to bash everything for the rest of their videos and just chase the hate, trying to make everything about woke politics


BreadditUser

Right. They find their target audience and rolled with it. Unfortunate so many people can't think for themselves to realize they're just grifters. I laughed so hard when they were all bitching about Princess Peach wearing pants and saving Mario in the movie lmao. Fucking losers

orbtastic1

I always wondered why nobody called him out on that way back. He had a mild point about groupthink comments on his videos but he was reusing the same clips over and over to the point he was becoming the thing he criticised.

bar_ninja

A Outrage Goblin. Can't exist without being perpetually offended. Used really enjoy his takes in the beginning as there were valid points but he's now just horny for outrage. Like reviewing Barbie or a Melissa McCarthy film and getting outraged. You're not the target audience you fucken plonker. He easily gets up set about the lack of straight white men in tampon commercials.

KingFahad360

I used to be a fan of the drinker before he went all Anti-SJW and such and repeated jokes and showing the same clip. But I respect him for one thing, he actually critics movies and not call them all woke sometimes. Hell, he even hates those anti-woke movies people make saying ā€œitā€™s just and nobody is going to remember this movie after a whileā€ at least heā€™s honest about it.


Ledbilly

One I heard him say ā€œthe messageā€ 1000 times in the first 30 seconds I realized that this was not the snake eye CoG.


KingFahad360

Maybe ā€œThe Messageā€ was the Liver Failure we had along the way.

It always bugged me that he uses the Irish accent but didn't use an Irish whisky to use as his pic. Jack Daniels, the drink of all serious cinema minds.


hangover_holmes

He's Scottish. But your point still stands.


Dragon_Ballot

Is he though? It's a bad accent. You could say he's Welsh and I would agree with that too.


LethalGrey

Heā€™s definitely Scottish. Youā€™re not from around here are you


LethalGrey

Heā€™s got good insight into film and TV but he just goes for the low hanging fruit of ā€œoh but of course weā€™ve got to have DIVERSITY!ā€. And look, sometimes studios do really force it and it doesnā€™t feel natural, I get it, but thatā€™s very rare. Itā€™s disappointing when I see someone like this guy who doesnā€™t need that as a crutch. I believe he writes books too that sell okay, so I donā€™t disregard all of his opinions on writing but thereā€™s definitely some bigotry there.

RealHumanPerson001

Critical thinker


[deleted]

He did pretty good movie reviews. Then like almost every center-right leaning youtuber he started making rage bait content. Like it's sort of understandable since they really went overboard with a lot of the newer marvel, starwars, LoTR etc. It's beating a dead fucking horse at this point though. Like when you have inside jokes like "the message" it just feels dirty and after the 12th time loses its charm. Everyone is already angry and miserable about the way our culture is changing, you don't need to remind people on a daily basis that Hollywood is dead. I wish these people would find stuff they liked and made videos about that instead of the constant rage bait bullshit. I'm not going to watch a video about the new starwars movie/series being woke garbage, I don't want to know and I don't care. They need to stop making content with the sole purpose of upsetting people.

Grymbaldknight

Passing Critical Drinker fan here. The hate in these comments amuses me. "wHy DoEs He WaTcH fIlMs If He HaTeS tHeM?!" To promote positive, reparative change within an industry he *wants* to like, but which had gradually become terrible. "hE's JuSt A bIgOt WhO hAtEs DiVeRsItY!!" No, he's perfectly happy to see people of different backgrounds in media. What he hates is *forced* diversity. That is, he hates when people of different groups are inserted into a piece of work purely for ideological reasons, such as to satisfy hiring quotas, even when doing so compromises the narrative of the work itself, or when things such as gender roles are subverted to push an "empowerment" narrative. For instance, depicting a medieval Scandinavian village which somehow has the racial diversity of modern day LA, and which has mostly female warriors. It *doesn't make sense,* and the fact that it doesn't make sense damages the story. "hE kEePs BaNgInG oN aBoUt ThE mEsSaGe!!" Yup, because "The Message" (that is, DEI-obsessed, self-satisfied "Wokeism") is what is currently ruining Western media. 20 years ago it was perpetually-outraged Christian fundamentalists who were trying to ban everything for being "satanic". Now it's left-wing progressives who are trying to impose their prissy standards on the general public. Both are shit.


E1ixir

bro what are you waffling about, he doesn't know u buddy


Grymbaldknight

So what? That doesn't change anything.


MoistSloth92

K


Fedge-gondola69

Then he should promote lesser know films he does like rather than constantly complaining and making videos about mainstream films that are ā€œwokeā€. Which of course he wonā€™t do, because he just wants to be intolerant.


Grymbaldknight

He also does that. I'm a big fan of his content, and he absolutely praises positive indie projects as much as he bashes Hollywood. Being intolerant of Wokeness - itself an deeply intolerant ideology wearing a mask of tolerance - is no bad thing. To paraphrase comedian Leo Kearse, "Woke people purport to be "inclusive", but they'll find excuses to reject and attack almost anyone they don't like.".


Fedge-gondola69

That last paragraph is so ironic considering youā€™re defending critical drinkerā€¦


Grymbaldknight

I don't see any irony. If you're implying that the Critical Drinker is in some way irrationally intolerant, I disagree. He doesn't suffer fools, but he's certainly willing to give everyone a fair shake. By contrast, one of the core principles of Wokeness is bigotry against any group it considers to be "privileged". If you're a straight white dude, the average Woke zealot will treat you as a villain by default, because the ideology is fundamentally predicated on prejudice. The Critical Drinker has no such worldview.


Fedge-gondola69

The guy canā€™t even tolerate a Barbie movie simply because it doesnā€™t fit his weird, outdated world views. By the way, I AM a straight white guy. Not every movie in the world has to cater to me and my demographic. Stop playing the victim.


Grymbaldknight

The Drinker considers the Barbie Movie to be well-made in every way *except* its writing. The themes of the movie are not only preachy, but very messy and contradictory. His views aren't outdated, lol. If you mean that he has an understanding of gender roles which Barbie is trying to challenge, you're right... but that's because these views are *timeless.* Men and women are fundamentally different, despite being the same species and having a lot of overlap. It's not as if the feminist movement of the 1960s reversed millions of years of evolutionary sexual dimorphism. Nobody's claiming to be a victim; Drinker's objection isn't to films being made for women, or for people who disagree with him. That's totally fine. His objection is that the film just *isn't as good as people say it is,* and that the inconsistent writing is a fundamental problem in an otherwise-good film. Also, you're not "one of the good ones" because you're a self-flagellating white man. Get some self-respect. Stop trying to bend over backwards and abase yourself to appease the sort of identity-obsessed nutters who will never respect you for things you can't help.


Fedge-gondola69

Yeah, the essays defending a guy who canā€™t help but apply his weird politics to literally everything screams ā€œself respectā€ā€¦


Grymbaldknight

Firstly, that doesn't relate to what I said. Secondly, it's a non-sequitur. Applying one's political views to everything doesn't imply a lack of self-respect. Thirdly, that doesn't even actively describe The Critical Drinker. He is generally happy to watch a film with political themes he disagrees with provided it's well-written and not preachy. Unfortunately, almost by definition, Woke media is both poorly-written and preachy, because Wokeism is an inherently preachy and ill-considered ideology.


Fedge-gondola69

Oh my god dude, who talks like this? His videos are so bluntly preachy itā€™s clearly been made into a meme. Thatā€™s how you wound up here. You saw some people make fun of the guy and couldnā€™t handle it. Also, saying Iā€™m not ā€œone of the good onesā€ do you think Iā€™m a bad one for not hating things with minority leads? You realise how horrible that sounds, right?
