AND?
Rob something wonderful from my childhood. Replicate it without the emotion or context. Don’t add anything new or innovative. Spend to long getting it just right. Complain when people write negative things about you on the blog saying they are all just really cynical.
The fact it needed the original next to it to make sense tells me it’s just not good. Sorry.
No? Are you serious old man? It’s great.
Interesting that whenever someone defends a piece of work here they almost always resort to making fun of the critics imagined age/social status/employment status etc.
tell us why the work is great, not why the critic is illegitimate.
just one word: WHY
Just two words: WHY NOT
where’s the bit where they slide across the hallway together?
I get it, it’s good because it REMINDS you of something good- right?
Really? Haven’t they got better things to do? Like work? If you were going to waste resources like this would you want to contribute something positive to the world?
I liked that part where they were dancing.
Phaedro,
‘No’ reckons it doesn’t work because it uses a split screen format.
Eh?
How else are they going to let people know that it’s a frame for frame riff of a scene from the Breakfast Club?
What’s more, splitting the screen is a well established meme format.
I’d have thought anyone who spends any time online would be familiar with it.
Sorry to get ad hominem, but the way I see it if you’ve got issues with this because of the split-screen, then you’re way missing the point.
It’s the kind of thing my dad would say. And don’t get me started on him.
Easts, all I meant was that I reckon it would have been more rewarding watching it without the original next to it. Like when they do remakes of the simpsons opening etc, you don’t need the original next to it. Let people figure it out. Thats where the magic happens. And I don’t think being in my early thirties means I’m that old.
@ Easts & No:
Wow, who would have thought. An actual dialogue.
MUCH better.
