He's not my favorite but a great contributor nonetheless.
Nevertheless she thought CR kind of sucked since Bond doesn't go around randomly saying "Shaken, nor stirred" every few minutes throughout the film.
I did watch a bit of Mr Dyson 'reacting' to some 007 deleted scenes, but his pretending that he hadn't watched them beforehand wasn't terribly convincing :)
Unless it's my YouTube, that manages to suggest and recommend things I have no interest in. No lie, I had a reaction video recommended to me this morning on there, focused on a trailer I've never once watched. Thankfully, it's otherwise pretty good about tapping into what I want to see more of.
I do love to see younger movie fans discover and enjoy some of the classics. Say, those who hadn't seen a Humphrey Bogart or Marilyn Monroe film before. Opens a whole new world of enjoyment.
Back on topic:
WHERE DOES BOND GO AFTER CRAIG?
I hope it doesn't go on an indefinite hiatus.
I would like to see another new Bond film made during the 2020s.
Does your YouTube actually force you to watch them, Clockwork Orange-style? :D
Thankfully not! Still irritating to have them pop up after having my account for so long though. I just avoid them, it's simple enough.
Kinky....
Don't go down that rabbit hole. His videos are fun though but can become annoying and repetitive very quickly.
I like Calvin too but he's running out of material for his videos. Pretty soon he'll be ranking the Blofeld cats.
He seems to have a hard time reading John Gardener novels. He seems to cringe quite often while talking about them. I’ve mentioned that he should move more forward with other authors if it’s too hard for him.
Unfortunately, despite all of his work problems and running out of ideas, he’s still uploading on a weeklong basis. It saddens me.
He's not the only one.
Never saw the appeal with him myself. While I didn't always agree with her I found his former collaborator Lindsay Ellis 'Nostalgia Chick' (now relatively successful in her own right but no longer making Youtube videos) much more insightful, intelligent and thought provoking as a reviewer/critic.
I like Calvin's videos, but yes, he does struggle with Gardner, haha. I do too. Think he's better when it comes to the films (his NTTD review video is excellent, and has clearly gotten him a good number of viewers recently)
I've only watched a few videos of Dyson and Zaritsky, and enjoyed them.
Calvin Dyson has a brilliant profile pic here.
I get the impression he is humble in everything he does, rather than brag, and my favourite video of his is the trip to Goldeneye, sitting in Fleming's chair. That video is seen through the eyes of every Bond fan, and he is just sharing it with us all (I also bought the Fleming sea island cotton shirt from Sunspel he wears in that video because of it, which put me back a few quid).
Yes you’re right, he never comes across as bragging, despite all of the fun things he gets to do.
"Oh no no no" are the same words I utter when his advert shows up.
There is a borderline with the YouTubers. Sometimes they create videos that really are entertaining for the fans, and other times they are creating stuff purely to keep the YouTube business momentum going, eyeballs per video, etc. That is when it becomes tiresome and repetitive.
You probably already know this, but there are 'Not interested' and 'Do not recommend channel' options that can be selected by clicking on the three dots that appear by the video's name when you put your cursor over it (this is on the YouTube home page, where you have all the video preview windows).
This helped a lot when I learned this way back.
Bond must find a way to make the US audiences interested again, especially the young.
