I love the pitch meetings from ScreenRant: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL--PgETgAz5FGoatB9KQzbnpv0bgZqU2l And just for good measure for those who want to see them again or havent' seen them, other channels on the Holiday Special: Nostalgia Critic: CinemaSins: Wow, there isn't one! This is ripe for the sinning! Honest Trailers:
I'm no fan of Jenny Nicholson.. BUT .. BUT.. the whole pitch meeting thing was her idea and she was doing it first.
For the most part, I like Jenny. Admittedly haven't watched a ton of her stuff, and she can be a little annoying but from what I've seen, she makes a lot of sense. On the other hand, I can't stand the pitch meetings. The eyes creep me out and I can't get past them.
For that first video, they really needed to photoshop it? Plenty of scenes reveal eyes so wide that they didn't need to tell in interviews they surely must have been high on something rad at the time. And I don't mean the fizzy soft drink but, perhaps, one of said fizzy soft drink's original ingredients later banned... "a thing" wasn't hipster colloquial slang in 1978, netiher was the grammatical slapchopped misuse of "because" but I think they're using those not unlike a "backhanded compliment". The same way the show introduced Chekov as a new character showing progressivism yet making him the butt of all jokes... But humor is like the taste of Soylent Green - it varies from person to person, thank you "Futurama" for that... and thank "Family Guy" too. That second clip committed sacrilege - he rails on the prequels! In the age of the sequel trilogy, the prequels are simply perfect (Erm, no, and sometimes for even the same reasons.) Still, the second clip has Threepio stating "piquancy", which is too many syllables for many modern day viewers. Naturally, Honest Trailers did it best. Right down to Captain Phasma's origins...
