Reminder to be Kind... Again...
🕑 Added 2023-01-25 03:38:40 +0000 UTCHey Everyone! As we continue to grow our community, we want to remind everyone to be kind to one another. We understand this is a community of passionate movie lovers, and that’s why we love it! But we cannot tolerate name calling or comments that bring others down because of a difference of opinion on films. Everyone’s opinion on a film that they love is valid. Disagreements on film recommendations must be kept respectful. It's totally okay to not like someone's recommendation, but please don't make it personal. We want everyone here to feel comfortable to make their recommendations.
Additionally, comments have to be kept about films and/or our reactions only. Disagreements that become personal will not be tolerated, please don't make us step in, we just want this to be a fun place.
Thank you & please don’t hesistate to reach out privately if you have any concerns.
-Daniel & Sam

Fair enough but anyone that votes for movies I don't like is a stinky poopoo head.

I doubt that Simone has anything to do with the hostile comments. I'm inclined to believe that it's George because we got to see more of his personality in his Cinecringe channel. That channel was a train wreck, but he kept it going for about 8 months because he seemed to believe that people would want hear him without Simone talk about how much he hated other movies. He put a lot of time and energy into expressing how much he believed other peoples ideas were stupid to him. Of course that channel failed. Eventually Simone will get tired of George, too, and start here own reaction channel if it hasn't already happened.

Too funny to hear other people talking about Cinebinge. I was banned by them for sticking up for another member. A couple of their minions were calling another member a racist, etc. One even said that they couldn't wait for them and their kind to die off! I was banned less than a minute after posting my reply to them. Good riddance.

A lot of the reactors I used to subscribe to or still do, but watch less frequently, have become "heightened" versions of themselves on camera. That's less fun to watch imo. The original appeal behind this genre of content was to feel like you're watching movies with friends, not being yelled at with choppy edits like it's a TikTok video. So as time passes, I narrow my bandwidth for first time reactions down to a core few who still seem to candidly enjoy the experience of watching movies (the Schmitts, Popcorn in Bed, Just SUMM Reactions, Movies With Mary, Alanda Parker) instead of putting on a show (Natalie Gold, Cinebinge, Jen Murray, many others). I realize a certain amount of that tonal shift might just be the reactor(s) trying to keep themselves inspired to maintain their channels instead of burning out, but it ain't working. Anyway, long live the Schmitts!
Erwin Quiachon
Another funny, easy, way to get George going with his fake profile in the comments is to start a discussion about Simone starting her reaction channel. From what I remember, that works every time.
Erwin Quiachon
Shan Watches Movies does outstanding, thoughtful, videos. He has a day job, too, and also edits his own videos. So, he only puts out a few each week.
Tim Raths
That’s ridiculous, if you’re going to start a movie reaction channel you should be open to watching just about anything not excluding certain genres. That’s why this channel and PiB are my favorites because of the wide range of films they watch.
Erwin Quiachon
I got fed up and cancelled my subscription to their Patreon. I still had a few weeks left on my subscription after I cancelled and commented about how George doesn't want to react to romantic comedies, despite Simone being a big fan of those movies. George took the bait. He jumped into the comments under an alternate profile to say how much he hates romantic comedies and gave himself away when he mentioned that I shouldn't be commenting anymore because I cancelled my subscription. Only George and Simone would know that I cancelled my subscription and only George would defend avoiding romantic comedies! The funniest part was that we were arguing over why they should react to "When Harry Met Sally"!!
Anthony Perez
I used to be a member of that channel but when I voiced opinions, honestly NOT bullying anyone, I was banned. It's a shame cause I liked the people or at least half of them.
Jim Frykman
It's probably more of a cult classic than a hidden gem, but it would really be a terrific reaction film
Erwin Quiachon
I agree that bullies should never be tolerated by patrons or those responsible fore the Patreon page.
Lola Lirola
I'm not sure about that. Yes, I agree you won't "win" the argument, and you won't change the troll's mind, but, for me, that's not the goal of replying. If we let trolls have their say unchallenged, and their bigotry stay unanswered, that hurts people who see no support. I know I have feltcomfort in seeing people push back against hatred in comment sections; it sends the message to the general public that it is not okay. If women and minorities just go silent against "online arguments", we end up just getting driven out of spaces. And only the bullies remain.
Erwin Quiachon
I shouldn't say. But it rhymes with Cinabinge.
Jeffrey Miller
I find it especially frustrating when people try to make actual arguments to counter a troll who obviously doesn't really want an answer. They think it's like The West Wing where logical arguments are something that people actually care about and change minds.
Odd Thomas
Yes, yes and yes
JayWantsACat
This is another reason why you two are the best...
Armchair Wizard
Which reaction channel was it?
Erwin Quiachon
Just to clarify, the other reaction channel was posing as a fake patron for their own channel, NOT Sam and Daniel!!
Erwin Quiachon
At least Sam and Daniel check the comments to make sure everyone behaves. I've noticed at least one other reaction channel where they seem to pose as a patron in the comment section to insult their own patrons! They tipped themselves off when they sent me a dm asking me not to engage with anyone who was insulting other patrons in the comments after I stood up to them for doing it.
James
Can you please add The Game to your list of movies to watch. A great David Fincher film. Also The Social Network and Panic Room two other Fincher films
Nick of Time
Of course I’m still hoping they’ll get into Lynch by way of Twin Peaks, as I did. @Tim I intentionally left Blue Velvet off the list, as well as Fire Walk With Me and Eraserhead, despite loving them all. I felt throwing TBR headfirst into Mulholland Drive without any familiarity with Lynch was a bit of a misstep and I would rather ease them into his style rather than beat them over the head with it.
Aaron Barlow
Erwin. They got away with it Alec Baldwin style? They thought it was part of the movie but the actors were never seen again? ;)
Tim Raths
@Nick and Blue Velvet
Mario
This is why I usually just avoid the comment section.
Nick of Time
I really hope they give David Lynch another chance sometime soon. The Elephant Man Wild At Heart Lost Highway Any of those would be excellent next Lynch films for them.
Paul Cox
They've already remade Red Dawn and Point Break. I know Channing Tatum is remaking Ghost. Now there's a Roadhouse remake too? Let Patrick Swayze rest in peace!
Erwin Quiachon
Jokes aside, I can't find Wild At Heart streaming anywhere. I was hoping Sam and Daniel hadn't seen it yet so they could react to it and the rest of us could get another warning from them for arguing about it later.
Philip Davetas
Almost sounds like a quote from ROADHOUSE. I wonder if that's gonna be in the remake.
Philip Davetas
Man. I just bought a bunch of David Lynch Blurays a couple years back and WILD AT HEART was one of them.

The boss of this family says to be nice, you're going to be nice! Seriously though, you should just be chilling and watching movies/shows here. It's like a cozy nook in the internet, keep the negativity outside.
Odd Thomas
You will never win an argument online, period. It's like two dogs barking at each other & will achieve nothing. You won't change each other's perspectives. The best retort is silence.
Rue
The woodchipper from Tucker & Dale vs. Evil would like a word.
Erwin Quiachon
...AND DIRTY DANCING WAS NOT "JUST A MOVIE"!!!! DIRTY DANCING WILL ALWAYS BE A SYMBOL OF INDIVIDUALITY AND MY BELIEF IN PERSONAL FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Erwin Quiachon
The wood chipper in the Irishman was nice and they got away with it in real life.
Erwin Quiachon
OK, WHO WAS IT?!!!! IT WASN'T ME BECAUSE I HAVEN'T STARTED AN ARGUMENT IN OVER TWO MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Memmo
But only if it's the woodchipper from Fargo. Everything else would be plain wrong and foolish!
Aaron Barlow
I agree except that people who like different movies to the ones I like are evil and need to be thrown into a woodchipper. JK

I read somewhere that a comment section is a public iq test :)
Florian Meier
Yes !! Lethal Weapon 3 !!!
EdmanXERO
No idea what happened... but I still appreciate the reminder. Looking forward to Lethal Weapon 3 and The Last of Us!
Mr. Chumpus
Hi Sam and Daniel. Now that you are finished with Ash vs Evil and are doing Last of us, I also suggest Mayor of Kingstown. 2nd season just started.

Dang, I thought this was about the movie Be Kind Rewind
Carlos Hurtado
thank you for not ignoring that kind of behavior.
Alex
Coz they’re 12 years old 😂
Alex
It’s just immaturity. They aren’t grown up. I remember the whole “if you like what I don’t like it don’t like what I like you suck” thing from when I was 18.
Joel P
It's only movie. Why you haav to be so mad
Brandon B.
I don't understand why people have to get mean about this stuff. Ultimately, they're just movies. If you feel the need to insult others over movie recs or opinions, time for some introspection.
Donna Castellano
It's kind of sad you guys have to keep posting this reminder. Hopefully, this will be the last time it's needed.
Yann Laliberté
Thank you for that
Jonathan Patrick

James Willingham III
I'm real curious!
Marcus Cato
Sorry to see you are dealing with people getting a bit heated, but you guys are doing a great job creating an overwhelmingly positive community.
Paul Cox
The extra effort to keep things civil is appreciated. I've left other Patreon memberships because the comments turned pretty ruthless on the regular.
