Confused Matthew vs 2001: A Space Odyssey vs Chase vs Confused Matthew
A few months back, the enigmatic Confused Matthew reviewed the classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. The 3 part video review involved a lot of "This ISN'T A FILM! It's an ART PROJECT!" and "Land scape......lands scape.....land scape....I heart HAL.......colours......space foetus."

People respond to his review and Confused Matthew responds in turn and it all goes quite well.

Until Chase posts a nine part video screed in which he takes the review personally and uses one massive tone argument.

Confused Matthew responds. After a two part video response, Confused Matthew posted a video saying he was halting the reviews in fear of indeed becoming too personal.

Until today, when he posted part 3.

Grab the popcorn, sit back, and watch.

I admit that I couldn't get into the Red Letter Media reviews...which I hated, because the reviews themselves were great and really fascinating! And even the little serial killer comments weren't that off-putting, but once we got to the woman tied up and screaming in the basement part it all took a nosedive straight into unfunny for me, and it squicked me out too much to watch anymore.
I recognize the fact that this is MY damage, however, and don't judge others for liking it. The reviews are fantastic! (Whhhhyyyy was that necessary? ;_;) Sorry for the thoughts on yaoi...

	Eh, it's funny for me because she escapes in Attack of the Clones, and the trailer for Revenge of the Sith shows her coming back, armed with a machette (serial killer comedy wouldn't be funny if the killer didn't get what's coming to him. Morality play FTW?) And I really like the way he digs into the details about why the movies suck. YMMV of course. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Huh. That kind of makes me interested again then, because I actually really did like the reviews themselves. And knowing that the killer may get his cummumpance...yeah, I think I may check it out again! Kinda wish others had mentioned that instead of mocking me for feeling disturbed by it now, but thanks! You've actually made me feel better about the whole thing! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I didn't like the woman-in-the-basement parts either. They didn't squick me out so much, but I didn't find them funny or entertaining at all and didn't need to see them a second time.
Fortunately, in the "Attack of the Clones" review those clips are always at the end of the youtube parts, so they're easy to skip if you want to watch the rest. Just stop the video as soon as the woman shows up and start the next one.
