Subliminascope: Friend of Foe?

[crash426mnb]

you know its just kind of funny, all of the people who didnt "like" it where not the targeted audience. i would hardly expect the 40 year old women or mustached man to "like" it. it just wouldnt be their thing. i can understand being sad after putting so mutch work into it but in hindsight you can only think " well of course they dint like it, but when i made it i didnt have them in mind.

i only expect the best from your next film and i think thats what im going to get.

[xMushroomhead1337x]

I didn't understand the story at all, but the animation was awesome.

[matthewmaki]

i saw me

[Freekchild]

Hahahahahahaha.... pwned by subliminascope

[TheElectricBen]

"Maybe you are, woman who would rather watch tennis, maybe you are!" I cracked up, lol.

[badjoe871]

lmao 4:25 and the rest is funni as hell xD . oh and stfu you old ass critic " may be im just stupid" "maybe you are women who'd rather watch tennis >=O" xD

[QuintessentialStudio]

Ooo bonus Susan (FEM) reaction. Nice.

[blackbirdmelodymay]

Well; it's fair to say those people are uncultured and horribly malformed normals.

How the hell could anyone be that stupid?

[MinorMisfits]

"I bacame insane with long intervals of horrible sanity"

When I view your work.. that's what always comes to mind.

[Nicetry75]

uncultured cunts. screw the haters.

[meranime321]

Holy crap, how the hell can someone call that movie awful? It's epic, and the best thing I've seen on youtube by far! (Not counting all those music videos I watch of course ^^")

[UnrealRambo]

i dont understand them why do they comment on a masterpiece that is made while they dont like it.

They can just ignore it if its not their taste

i love trance but i dont like hiphop but do we comment NO!

they dont like it becuz they dident make it.

[gaarasbabe34]

Only the NORMAL people hated it. I for one, am WEIRD, so I really think this stuff is AWESOME

and that girl who thought shee knew everything (not the stupid one)

I understood EVERYTHING.

So, I must be smarter than these people and most of them are older than me.

[Shro0m]

It made me wanna watch my copy again lol

[Shro0m]

Maybe you are, woman who would rather watch tennis! Maybe you are!

that was awesome lol

[TelevizedDamnation]

The "You're mega welcome" thing at the end made me smile. xD

[ultimax]

I love this. :)

I think it's the beginning of something new...

the advent of a str8nime

[wept10]

"Or I'm that stupid."

"MAYBE YOU ARE, WOMAN WHO WOULD RATHER WATCH TENNIS!"

haha. great.

but it made me angry when these people called it awful.

they probably just couldnt comprehend any of it.

[imartin27]

wow thats cool

[KeyBladeXninja]

Jeez people that hated it have no sence of imagination. i actually thought it was amazing :D! it ROCKEDDDDD

[HLimmen]

Of course the 50 year olds won't like it.

It's too cool for them. They can't handle it.

[MizHydee251]

I also rate the Film 5 trillion stars! \m/

[MizHydee251]

I LOVE you work, Mdotstrange!! :D Your "We are the strange feature" was very excellent I even gave it positive review in the community news paper. You are super Cool! \m/

and don't mind those idiots in the video especially that woman who panned the film. They are all a bunch of idiots!!>:(

[carbonwater]

Fuckin' dumbasses that wouldn't even the amount of effort that went into this film.

I'm an animator myself, and I don't think in a million years I could produce a MEGA HELLA AWESOME movie such as We Are The Strange.

[fortunecookiesamurai]

man, it woulda been SO MEGA AWESOME if i was there! but i didnt hear of the movie till about dec. 2007

[fortunecookiesamurai]

my bad got the date wrong, it was march 2008 when i heard of it

[CheshireCatGrins]

Some people just don't get the Strange.

[Pingpong513]

They just don't understand the art in every angle and image you chose when you were creating this.

[XVeriandomNess]

shatap women who would rather watch tennis, The Movie was a Work of art, Amazing, i think its a metaphor for how outragous Video-Games can be!

[nevertrustCHEEZ]

OH NNOOOOOEEESS!! my head asploded!!

[Kinkatia]

The woman who would rather watch tennis offended me...

I play tennis...

*pouts*

Someone should defenestrate her...

Other than that, I can understand why people didn't like We Are The Strange...however, I've been actively advocating it! FAVORITE MOVIE EVER! It beat out Tin Man, in my opinion. xD

[dilps]

It's a hit or miss for a lot of people. I can see how it can turn off people 30+ because it's narrowed down for a certain age group..

But in my opinion, WORK OF GENIUS! Keep it hella mega awesome, M dot Strange!

[xoxDieHardGirlXx0]

lol this is funny... but weird O.o i luv We Are The Strange!! ...

[TyRiders2]

By the way I liked We Are The Strange. It's creative.

[TyRiders2]

How many times have you watched Jacob's Ladder?

[nuglah]

anyone who would want to watch tennis is not someone you want watching your AMAZINGGG movie anyways!!

LEFT BRAINED PEOPLE JUST DONT GET IT

[krakkinem]

"Maybe you are, Woman Who Would Rather Watch Tennis. Maybe you aaaaaare......"

M Dot - thanks for uploading the whole film for us (in 17 languages, no less!). I was one of the folks back in October 2006 that saw the trailer on youtube and thought it looked mad cool, so now I'm psyched that I can finally see it - even if just to bring closure to an odd little video I saw 18 months ago. Hey, if I like it, I promise to buy the DVD!

Stay strange.

[jobywonkanobi]

everyone excluding the young girl is to old to appreciate it and the girl sounds either drunk, high, or some combination of the two. i mean it seems she is obviously part of the hollywood mindset if she was an independent film fan she would of appreciated this movie for it's artistic value even if she did'nt like the story. As for my view i say keep it up strange

[SuperM96]

I'm not a fanatic of video games, but, I thought the movie was amazing, has so many new features of using stop motion and 3d effects to make this kind of world that shows the mind of a movie maker. I am one of the people that likes unusual stuff (e.g., Tim Burton, Alfred Hitchcock). The music really highlighted everything. The characters Blue and eMMMMMMMM kept the story going. Thank you SO much, M Dot! :D- Melissa

[MggFrog]

i haven't played too many video games. But i found it awesome that someone was able to look at a small video gaming screen and see the big screen. Rather watch this, then tennis any day. I wish i went to the Sundance film festival to see it.

[LordKazekage1]

rofl. Loved this one dude... ;)

[glamorous909]

i love how everyone who watched we are the strange was extreme either they didn't like it or they did there was no grey. my boyfriend did grow up playing vid games he too couldn't get into this. and yes i do like my movies spelled out to me is that a prob? my whole life rightnow all i do is think when i watch a movie that is my escape i don't want to have to think during a movie. at least not in the ending

[djAmiracle]

hahaha, this is great.

[dontcommentmehoe]

The people who dont like it dont like thinking about the movie. I though about it.

[FoodEmbassy]

What the guys said is true. It is mostly imagery and not dialoge. You really have to think to understand it, which is one of the reasons why i like it

[roguestarproductions]

woah I saw Susan Brice towards the end. Loved the movie.

[Aeiishi]

lmao @ the kid at the end and ending text XDD

[FallOutGurl31293]

The girl at 0:46 sounds drunk or high or...something. Either way, she doesn't sound educated at all.

[BobDole2isback]

I heard they had asked that they don't think that anybody grew up with video games. i have...

And you don't have to be a gamer to enjoy this awsome film. i think those who like horror, art, or just wierd things would like it.

The pointless part is dumb. there is some point, but people can interpret it differently. For me, it says evil is always around. The main thing I liked about it the awsome time lapse/digital animation combo.

[mxbdh]

this movie it's great!!

the people should try no to be so fucking exaggerate!!

dont think i say this because i dont understand the movie!

i am agreed with: ''People these days are so POINTLESS''

[Phleg]

Lol at the woman who'd rather watch tennis.

Personally, I loved the movie.

[gogo3345z]

People these days are so POINTLESS.

[Panpizza15]

The trailers gave me nightmares

[Poisinn]

Humorous.

[flatbouy]

I just love the moronic girl crying about "It's just full of imagery..." WHATEVER. What a psuedo-intellectual BITCH!

[flatbouy]

You do realize that the p in pwning is a miseplling and isnt intended to be typed incorrectly on purpose. EVER. It never was. I still run a BBS on a dilaup PC XT.

[sugarbabycrazy]

OMG how can these people say that?? The movie We are the strange was simply amazing. I loved it so much!!! And i highly admire you mdotstrange, congrats on your talent. And showing the old generation what the new one can do. >D I support you 100%

[narutogirl712]

wow some people just can't stand movies that make you think, i for one absolutely adored the movie. lol the girl at 00:54 sounds like she's drunk or something

[flatbouy]

The movie doesn't make you think at all. It's just a great animation with an interesting connection to video and gaming. Although the imagery does evoke moments of pop culture, there is no plot at all (who cares) and it merely but awesomely imitates a video game. There is no subtext (other than gamer inside jokes, which is cool all by itself)

[moyboy31]

Those guys are so right.

I LOVED THE FILM!

And im so stealing that word!

PWNED BAI SUBLIMINALSCOPE!!!

[SOMENAMEOK]

It's a film that requires patience and thought really :S i did'nt play many video games but i still loved it ^.^

[happyseaurchin]

well...

it is certainly doing something...

then again

not all questions necessarily lead to answers...

or do they...?

[Merdragoon]

I think so far I'm the only one who actually neutral on the whole thing. I liked it but at the same time didn't. The concept is good, and I liked the fact that you had to think. Maybe if some of the scenes weren't so flashy, then I would understand more of the thinking progress. That's the only problem I had with it. With the scenes that wasn't so flashy, I was able to think of the actual concept and see where things were going. But good job overall.

[smoothdruid]

I totally agree with you merdragoon, i maker totally stated that this movie if for weirdos. :), i realllly loved parts of it, very artistic, very creative... some other parts just felt like it don't belong there.

i liked it, but i still liked the "yellow submarine" better :P

[futureweakness]

most people that hated it are shallow,old or just stupid..then again thats just my opinion and cannot speak for everyone. personaly, i loved it..

[flatbouy]

Anyone who hates it is more likely just not an avid gamer. Period. That covers pretty much all ages.

[ryno4u]

yeah, i watched the whole 80 minute video, and i have to say......LOVED IT!!!! its definately a movie that your either going to LOVE or HATE....I IZ A LUVR!!!!

[flatbouy]

Love OR hate? Are you kidding? That's the only choice? FUCK YOU.

[soap1st]

i watched the whole 80 minute movie "we are strange" it was soooooooo fucking dumb. its not even emo, its shatty

[moabjo]

i love the movie!! the cool about the movie is that its not like normal movies.. yes is hard to totaly know whats it all about. thats is one of the things thats is so awesome about the movie YOU NEED TO THINK!!! i understand thoes that dont like the movie. short version i love this movie. PS im 13 XD and from sweden so my english is not so good

[Animatixitlivezo79]

these r old guys n som ppl r just un imaginary suits...

[Scottishfilms]

Sorry but I didnt really like your video it was sort of pointless and boring. Im not saying that your bad just saying i didnt like it.

[Odziz]

Subliminascope leaves people totally speechless ;))

Hey, I'm 52 and the film completely sucked me in, it was like being there or am I just strange?

[robertsen99]

..i am home..!

[Alissandro182]

the music is the best part of "we are strange"

^^ i look the whole movie just kus the music

str8anime music ROCKS!!!!!!!!

[LorenAlbrecht]

hahaha

l337ness

[kakashicat]

I-I loved it. D:

LIKE

A

WHOLE

LOT.

[soulwrappin]

i fuckin appreciate it, source of my inspiration. i don't get what they do not get. it has a very simple storyline. i wonder what they will react when they saw Killer7.

[samnewman89]

you'RE mega welcome

learn to grammar

[chetmartini]

ahh, i love this, but i like tennis...

[darojobe]

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[Verou]

i want to get my hands on this

im an artist too - and its all about : expressing yourself!

[phisaki]

You know Mdot, most of histories greats in art and music their brilliance was realized long after they have passed. Hope it doesn't take you that long for your works greatness to be seen but it may take a while for acceptance. oh and good shit(:D)

[phisaki]

"I..I.I' "It..it.." LMAO

[chainedsword]

hahaha. I believe...that most of the people who hated this film, are an old fashioned crowd, and the dumb would rather be entertained with whatever they ask for. But that's just the thing...if they want to be entertained...go watch tennis or some shit. Films do not necessarily need to explain themselves to be awesome. When they say, a picture hold a thousand words...they mean it. And a silent dialoguless film on its own can tell a WHOLE story without having to include a formal conversation.

[CorgyX]

Oh, Woman Who Would Rather Watch Tennis, what are we going to do with you?

[waheiki]

Yes!!! My one second of fame! Love it. Soo want to buy it. Haa, mine was the calmest. 05:05!

[Maxedclaymations]

Damn, That movie looked cool!

[KatarinaB]

i want to see this film ahh!

[Freekchild]

BEST MOVIE EVER MADE

[WowVideosbyVessel]

wow, he even walked out of Snow White, the first time I watched THAT I loved it... Keep up the fantastic work Mdot, I'll find out a way to get my mom to let me buy your film :)

[demonicbunny666]

haha the pwnage in this video never gets old

[petro1986]

It's like the first foreign film, from the country of M dot's mind...

people don't understand the world, but I bet you can follow the story of the characters

[mdotstrange]

Hey thats a good point!

[petro1986]

would you mind if I make a video about how audiences relate to characters in films? can I use a bit of you're trailer to Illustrate this point?

[mdotstrange]

Sure of course you can!

[petro1986]

ever heard of a film called The Secret Adventures Of Tom Thumb?

[mdotstrange]

Yep I've seen it... some fun pixillation in that... It was sad when the little creature that helped Tom died.

[petro1986]

yeah...

such is the folly of mankind. Hey, can I be on you're call in talk show, podcast thing?

[mdotstrange]

Yeh call in!

[petro1986]

What an honer, err, will have to be next week though.

how will I know when you're about to a show? is there some electronic mail to inform you're billions of viewers to phone in...

[Dyno247365]

PWNED BY SUBLIMINASCOPE AHAHAHAHAH

[robertman]

Props on using 'The Thing's theme

[flatbouy]

AND the theme from Dark Shadows !

[roseXchick]

I don't understand how some people wouldn't like this movie... Seems awesome to me. ^^

[bcbird]

That was funny

[Shaidon7]

Bah nervermind! :p

YouTube didn't showed the reply on the proprer order until I hit "see all comments".

[VolkColopatrion]

It's alright.

[VolkColopatrion]

I would like them to TRY to provide proof for thier claims.

Some of the best films are polarizing. You didn't do this to "please" people, you did it to entertain them.

[xREITAx]

M.Strange...How did you get your magical powers of pure awesome?

[JLOISFREAKIN]

who walks out on Snow White?

[VolkColopatrion]

An Asshole

[Shaidon7]

This comment was for me? If so, I think you mistundestood me.

[Shaidon7]

I wish to watch the movie too! T_T too.. too... far away. And see if M.Strange used my face on it! XD

It is impossible to please everyone!

And is stupid to get angry with ppl that don't like the same stuff as you.

[VolkColopatrion]

Luckily, he doesn't get "angry" per se.

[FloydNIN]

does anyone know a URL so i can see m dot at abc news?

[MetaKnight11]

Awesome video! I made the part at 1:34. It would've been funny if you made that blond girl say "I'm--stupid and--I'm--full of myself."

[bbcasting]

That is why I see the internet as the way to go...the brainwashed don't come here...those who are sick of it all and want to make their own choices do...the internet is the future.

[bbcasting]

Most 'adults' are turned off and can't even give THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS a chance dismissing even that as being just for kiddies. It's not a suprise that a lot of people won't 'get' this film or even give it a chance. Unfortunately, the the majority of people in America like what they are told to like...a bunch of brainwashed, religious, closed minded idiots.

[VolkColopatrion]

Now, now, I wouldn't go that far as to say that a majority is stupid. It's just a "green eggs and ham" situation. As much as i hate the fact that they didn't support thier claims, i have to give them some credit for watching it. Some people like strawberries and hate rasberries and vice versa. We're doing the same thing by calling them close minded.

[irstanci]

Heh, I would pay to see the film. Not just because I love video games and stuff. But because I like new ideas and admire the creative people that come up with them. I guess a lot of people will like it and some won't.

[kodikat]

LOL wow i love how hilarious this is XD

I really want to appriciate this film

im sure it willblow my frikkin mind XD

[saition]

I hate the blurred people, they need brains

it was hilarious towards the end when you were pwning them haha

[FloydNIN]

appaerantly most american people dont know surrealism :)

[twistyboi]

lol this movie is intended for people under 65 with an iq of 140 or over. i cant beleive those people hated it.

[VargrMyst]

Im almost 40 I love what Ive seen so far but then Im STRANGE and always have been. What scares me is to see 20 somethings like the first one I saw in the video with no brains. The older people I can understand. But then to see the youth on this site inspires me because it lets me know there are some really intelligent kids, young adults, adults and hopefully some more old peeps like me. Mdot thanks for fighting and staying in the game. People with your talent should be lifted up not shut down.

[TheTeknoProject]

that chick is going to die very very lonely. "id rather watch tennis..." X(

ya go choke on your boringness HOE!, while I go save the world from gannon and watch WATS.

[DManSammy]

as in, i couldn't tell what age she was...i could care less WHO she was...

[DManSammy]

A lotta haters out there...funny how all of them were 30+ or w/e...maybe more, i couldn't tell who the 1st idiot woman was...XP

[Marsh0r]

But hey, if your new artform is accepted - what surely will happen - you will be praised and those provoking retards will stfu.

nvm I look forward to the release of your movie.

[Marsh0r]

"id rather watch tennis"...how ignorant can a person be? She could at least appreciate the hard work that you all have put in that movie...but hey maybe stupid slogans are more worth than objectivity...critics. I think deep inside they loved it...they loved the unique style and story but were scared of a younger generation taking over the biz. I mean its always the same shit, new things are bad until they are accepted by a majority.

[P0dex]

The original was better :)

[VMLFan]

hah, old ppl are all dyin anyway. is there gonna be a dvd??

[happyanimegirl06]

They Just dont understand you.

[mdotstrange]

When we are at Sundance one of my friends who was with me said "this feels like high school all over again, we're the outcasts"

[EdwardTheGreat]

eee! my first video game was duck hunt! XD

[Joydaze]

LOL I'd rather watch tennis...how lame.

[Shintaka9009]

"im wondering how it got accepted..."

stupid bitch. =.=

[Maniacledestruction]

I started playing Video gams at age 3, Sega Genesis ftw.

[SansFear]

Wow your first censored one I've seen.

[demonvash08]

best video ever! I was laughing the whole time

[TomManns]

Did this get censored?

[LuC1Fr]

i for one havnt played video games all my life, but WATS still attracts me. its different, its unique. its mega hella awesome :)

[AAAhmed46]

I think anyone under the age of thirty, and even those that ARE thirty grew up playing video games.

[mmmpie]

BURN THE nubs

[chii222888555]

i grew up playing video games....i got my 1st video game in kindergarten it was a bugs life for the gameboy without color

[Maniacledestruction]

Who cares what they think, personally, I usualy touch myself and play with my OMGWTFLAZERPEN PEWPEWPEW while watching your video because they are just that good... In other words you > them so... you + them = them dead and me = happy cuz they = dead... I dunno I failed All my Algrebra classes.

[DanielxthexSeraph]

"I-I-It's-it didn't say aything to me"

Or you didn't pay attention?

[newaar]

why did you have to take thee peopel out? and who gives a crap? if you got complaints? they complained about your movie? you can easly complain about them? soo they can eat dog poop for all i care. they couldnt controll all this time.. dont let them now! dont let their over controlling tiny brains beat you!

[w0rldpeace]

We support you.

The rest can die.

Worldpeace,

Ben

PS. I would like to see you get lit by a nice bright ray of East Asian philosophy for your next one?

[romperwomb]

Doh! Always make them sign a release. Was it the tennis lady that complained? "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhuhhhhhh" and also "uhhh".

[realchaos1]

fuck yeah hahahbwahahhaha mega hella awesome!

[nietaki]

I was afraid you would delete the "maby you are, woman" part ;)

[nexas777]

That about sums up how crazy you have to be to understand this stuff. The people who left out on the movie were normal, and from what some of the new USA statistics say 60+% of amercians are crazy in some form. The crazy people wil soon overcome. The crazy people will soon rise. The crazy people will take the world. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[w0rldpeace]

The crazies survive.

Everyone else dies.

A normalist view of the world is useless if it does not accept all things as possible.

THEY" are the ones who are the problem.

Not us, it's never been "us and yet then its like "well who are we and what do we truly represent" whatever ... that dude who was talking shit about how "maybe if you played video games your life" BLEH

[DarkVampiara]

"I'm like not even getting it. It's all imageries . It's just one thing after another" LOLLLLLL

[DarkVampiara]

Awesome. I can't stop watching it. xD Totally Pwned!!!!

[funymony]

Dude, I loved the way you worked all our footage into this. ITS JUST SO GOOD! HAHAHA!

[AnimeMGod]

the fact that we know who they are, is even funnier

[gr8tbigtreehugger]

nada

[dvigour]

oh damn did the people who didn't like the movie get mad that they were in the original vid?

[mdotstrange]

Yeh I got some complaints so I changed it

[Dauragon88]

AAAHGGG!!! i have to re spam my friends myspaces!!! lol

its ok, as long as im still in it XD

[alex9324]

Nice editing lol, but what song was that near the end?
