Shane Dawson's movie is worse than you can imagine

Shane Dawson is one of the oldest creators on the platform. I am not going to do an analysis of his past. There are already much better videos out there and my audience is mostly gamers who don't really care about that stuff personally. I never saw Shane.

dawson

because I'm not a woman, but I know that he was replicating the process that many electronic celebrities do, which is to expand his brand. I think I'm hesitating about this, mainly through marketing and merchandising, but at first. In the 2010s, the best way to make some money quickly was to star in a low-budget

movie

.

This was actually a big trend and also created a huge market where kids pirated the

movie

s to watch them for free. Stop pirating the movie. Now Shane has been in a couple of movies. sporting his resident evil leading man here, uh, don't you have great in 2014, a comedy film he directed and starred in there, there was also a behind-the-scenes series that followed him during the film's production and he has a few choice words about his co-stars . actors, do you understand what she is saying? No, I do not undertand neither. The script just isn't that obscene. Someone out there is a rat and goes around saying that this is the Ranchos movie ever made.

You don't want to listen to what people say. say no, I feel like I've been very open to every note, every suggestion, everything that I've never liked, I yelled at them, guys, they said I don't know, but it's been a, personally I think all these clips are taken from context because everyone I know that Shane is a very strong empath. I'm an empath, right, but there's another movie I wanted to talk about that's a bit spookier to celebrate Halloween close enough. I present to you Smiley or the unexpected virtue of YouTubers with too much income, but first, come on.

Do some research. Shane stars in the movie and he is easily the most relevant person today, but he had nothing to do behind the scenes. It was probably a good decision after his last adventure creating a movie we've been working on. Instead, this amazing emoticon was created by Michael Gallagher, who has worked on almost every YouTuber movie you can

imagine

. You've got thinning hair star Logan Paul and his internet-famous sequel, another film starring Shane Dawson and frequently quoting tweets. Brave lessons about cinema. He too. The co-created creator studios that were famous for binding YouTubers to contracts that could not leave the production company.

Level 10 movies haven't been active since 2015. There was also a fair amount of criticism on Facebook before the movie was released. people comparing Smiley to Slenderman personally, I don't see the similarities at all. Both men come in all shapes and sizes. Wait a minute. Did you just make your character bold and pale in a video game and wear a business suit? It could just be slenderman oh my god can anyone be Slenderman oh god I forgot what this video was about I'm Slenderman where is this going? Oh okay okay, fun movie, the opening shot shows a normal suburban house and by looking at the leaves we can clearly tell that this was filmed at noon and then they just applied chroma key to a jpeg of the sky to make it look like it was night , but hey, do you know what the walking dead can do?

I guess anyone can see a girl texting on her phone and she's greeted by a jump. scare I'm not even going to play the audio because I don't think anyone deserves to be scared by a Shane Dawson movie my name is max mofo I think I read somewhere that we are all born with two innate fears the fear of heights and loud noises something you know triggers fight or flight and now you know that information

imagine

the number of movies that include some type of scare as if it were a checklist for being allowed in the movies older younger girl logs into a simulated omegle site say goodbye to your friend He's not my friend I don't even know him you remember when uh pewdiepie made friend trolling remember Fridays with pewdiepie it hurts right? explains that there is an urban legend called smiley with which you start a video chat someone you don't even know and you write I did it for the bulls three times troll face in chat oh god I just literally just remembered Black Mirror did that when they were trying to blackmail people, why did they call him Smiley?

Because he sewed his eyes shut and carved a smile on his face that doesn't even make sense, as if he had a knife. I'd probably have a better chance of slipping than hurting anyone else, plus the other girl freaks out about uh oh oh my god, it's that Kylo Ren from the marriage story every day I wake up, I'm sorry I was late. um, I want to check it out, it'll be okay, wait, so you have the girl who pays to do things with you waiting in your daughter's bedroom. I like how nonchalant he is about it and like you already know, go to bed honey, daddy has to pay the wife to play. a fortnight with her for 50 minutes, so the girl who I assume is in her own house now starts using the mako meagle to talk to strangers.

She finally meets a guy and they seem very interested in each other until he says too bad I have to kill you how. romantic, I thought this was a little edgy but no he just started spamming and I did it for lolz and an emoticon appears and the game ends. I like how the guy is happy about it and also like he just made a sick joke or something. You hate women, I get it, Pokémon responds, but gosh, I mean, it's pretty obvious they're imitating a Bloody Mary routine, something the actors themselves even admit. the Bloody Mary myth, yes, but you know you could have had any line, maybe something vaguer comes along like an emoticon, you know something that has that sense of dread, you don't know, let Epic Ownage Nine deal with the glasses anyway, Smiley hits the title card on the laptop. and we get the credits show, there he is, he's Shane, who is he, we're introduced to Ashley, a new girl who just moved into her friend's house accompanied by the aunt from the audio dubbing room, sure that you will still be fine here. stay in college if you want, no, keep the change, hello doggy, she's played by caitlin gerald, someone who actually had a pretty successful career after Smiley appeared in the franchise's worst insidious movie, her partner in fourth played by melanie papilla is known for being a prostitute. hell or high water and she goes to a house party and invites Ashley to join her talking about which, um, I have a party to attend, I mean, you wouldn't want to come with her, would you? is that so? class night yes, it's college I can do whatever I want yes, I accept your lovely invitation, is that, uh, is that how women really talk to each other when they come to campus.

The rep opens up to Ashley about how the meeting was set up, but do you think we can pull it off? What is it? No, look, I know them. It's okay, I just haven't met them in person. This guy from B invited people to his house for a meeting. What is B? Do you know B's board on 4chan? Yes, thanks for the 4chan synopsis from 2012, I appreciate it. I can literally see one of the writers using ironically know your meme to decide exactly what 4chan was, we got a trademark, are the accusations that you're secretly a lizard true, um, I'll have to walk away with nothing. that probably also bought a grumpy cat mod after the girls go to the party where they meet zane played by andrew james allen he was in a movie called uh bad behavior after smiley it's actually cool because somehow it seems like it was filmed

worse

than smiley in every way imaginable to get away from the door i have a gun let's shoot them west coast mofos also named zayn which instantly reminds me of that logan paul character that didn't make the final cut in baywatch i have a scene where you have your own scene so you only have one way you're so funny man hey nice haircut by the way okay dude yeah whatever , I'm used to living alone or otherwise I would suggest, uh, company of three, kind of like there's a lot of room, especially in my room, it's also cool because it seems as two-dimensional as Logan's character.

I'm Zayn, get off my beach. I have done a severe and continue without any type of icebreaker. Zayn instantly jumps into deep philosophical dialogues. People are really interested in no, but really what I'm interested in is how people start to believe in things that you know, like Bigfoot, for example, you know there's no evidence that Bigfoot exists, but a lot of people believe that it's right and then exactly 13 minutes and 28 seconds God himself enters the movie oh we should say hello you should say hello go go go I'll be fine. I like how they portray Shane as a cute and soft boy with this Green Day haircut.

I want to be fair, my haircut three years ago. Ago was a literal ice jewel, so I don't think he has the power to toast anyone's hairstyle, really, yeah, yeah, because that's so weird. Wow, I'm really surprised they didn't add an overproduced audio sting in there to activate my amygdala. Hey, can we bother? Can we just add one in the post? Please, then we get a montage of the group drinking and I'll actually give them credit here in most of the movies, they'll drink like one beer and get drunk like most video games. but here they are drinking glass after glass of straight whiskey, so yeah, I mean the only accurate thing in this movie so far, so, gold star from me, the next morning Ashley, like most women, can drink your weight in alcohol and not suffer a hangover the next day. day because he has already expelled all his toxicity by complaining about first world problems on Twitter, he arrives at his first conference with Professor Clayton and Professor Clayton, played by Roger Bart, who has a bit of an ego, to say the least, as you know. this class is a requirement now aside from my brilliance and my charisma and the school's obvious huge budget oh my god, they have tobuscus in this movie, don't they?

I can't even believe it. I like how a student should be, but he only looks about 10 years younger than his teacher, excuse me, excuse me, what's her name? After the conference, Ashley meets up with Clayton and tries to apologize for being late. He also tries to flirt with her, but ironically, I was wondering if he could pull it off. Early Semester Assignments Why are you leaving town? No, I'd just like to be really prepared. Are you flirting with me? What oh I wanted to know are you kidding? Oh no, blue, random translation, this means you lost it, I really can't.

Let's say if they're trying to present Clayton as some kind of villain and like they're giving too much away or if he's just harmless. Ashley returns home to reenact where we see one of the people from last night's party get attacked. by smiley on youtube I don't know, they put something on my face I don't know what it says, oh my god, there's no way, well, there's no way it's real or there's no way it's fake, I don't know, I can't call someone, Well, none of us even know each other's real names, but he hasn't been online, so what do other people think?

I haven't understood it well, but what is that logic? Please everyone agree to meet and no. you know each other's names, I understand that, but clearly you have seen each other, you have added each other on social media so you can contact directly even if your name is bluntsmoke420, I'm sure you could show the video to the police and then the less. watch it for the girls to try to see if it's staged or not risk someone else's life by saying it on omegle to see if a smiley face appears and the game ends them today we're looking at 15 signs you're a beta male, no yes just someone Locked the door before going to Omegle and closed the windows, then Smiley will never be able to catch them, no, what's up guys?

There is no way to do it. Ashley receives a call from her father that goes nowhere. The only thing worth noting is that he looks like a simulated Gary. Busey you're a beta man at the conference the next day Ashley started drawing emoticons in her book. I'm sure that's how Stan started, but you know, look, let's ignore that for now, now that we have this notion of what we think it is. Right, what do we do next? I prove it, girl, exactly, you prove it, this man is a secret scientist, he couldn't look 10 years older than anyone in the class even if he tried, and I love that Clayton tries to give a profound speech on The Human Condition, Many movies have done this before a conference that tries to indirectly tell the characters what they're up against, but here it just seems like a part of The Simpsons and not in a good way, the worst things that happen in the world are done by people who are sure you are right hitler stalin mao polpot bin ladenYou know what I'm talking about, right? that's it i did it for lulz you can't take this scene seriously like they can just say deal with it and then a bunch of glasses fall from the sky like even for 2012 that's overkill with some of the dated stuff. they're memes from a decade ago 2020 current year I don't give a damn we're not sure what Clayton's point is whether he's involved or not it's never really explained and this is the last scene with him the movies tend to be ambiguous to start a conversation I go, but believe me, no one talks about this movie, except maybe me in the library.

Ashley faces an emoticon on the laptop and goes through a three-stage character development in one line, she tells Smiley to shut up, shut up, shut up, how brave. and Smiley left her alone to never torment her again because he told someone on the internet to shut up, just joking, look, another scare, so it doesn't really seem like the movie knows what to do before going into the third act, so we just have to jump. jump scare after jump scare another fake dream a sequence of jump scares is not uncommon in horror movies, especially fake jump scares, but this is like five jump scares in one scene like I'm starting to become desensitized to them and finally an hour. and 11 minutes into the movie, Ashley finally decides to contact the police.

I would like to report a murder. She is interrogated by Detective Diamond played by Keith David, who you probably know is the referee of the Halo series. The commander will inform you as you progress. Is the problem with you Spartan? Hmm, he stops looking at me. He doesn't exactly believe that Ashley is basically pleasing her. Do they call you to report a murder? Maybe two. You don't know honestly. It's cool how horrible it is, no matter how ridiculous it is. The point is that you should always treat them with a certain level of respect, but diamonds are not 100 proof, there is no murder case.

Clothes like that are ever going to happen. An emoticon appears behind people in an anonymous video chat like from outside cyberspace or something when the other person types uh. I made it for the lulls, I made it for the lows, I made it for the lows, yeah, it's like it just dawns on you that the whole concept of the movie is a man who goes around killing people who quotes a nine gags meme from 2010, you have no victim but we have victims but there are no bodies you say you saw dead people but you don't know who they are, except for some nicknames that, um, no one can trace, it's very difficult to investigate a crime when it's not very Of course some crime has been committed, what is that logic?

I mean, you all met an anonymous person, but from their appearance you realized that they went to the same campus too, if not a murder investigation, then at least a missing person's case. If you believe everything you told us tonight, please, you need to see a psychiatrist. I'm seeing a psychiatrist. It's very funny at this point to see how almost the entire city is against it. Back with the therapist, Ashley admits that she might be seeing things that aren't really there and not be fully in touch with reality after Ashley meets Shane. I actually forget who's in this movie and he gives her this used laptop, so no.

To be more nerdy than usual, but this computer is fully equipped, okay, it has its own firewall, 128b encryption and a big 256 key, the dungeon master never gets the princess, sometimes they do that too, where the hell does it come from? did this come out? You've shared like three total scenes with this guy if he had that much screen time as a proxy I'd understand but this is nothing it doesn't make any sense I get he's meant to be the harmless nerdy guy but wasn't she fearing for her life in the last scene knowing the police won't help her, no, it's time to kiss Shane Dawson.

I wonder if she'll give me 10 off his merchandise while they kiss. You're okay with me, one of my parents over the weekend, just yeah, I really have to clear my head, yeah, totally, that wasn't contrived or forced at all. I wonder what could go wrong now that that representative won't be in the house for the weekend. The night Ashley finishes a phone call with her father assuring her that everything will be okay. I love you. She executes Order 66. Then she calls Ashley and explains that she tried to connect with Zayn, the nervous hacker. What a shame, but he doesn't show up.

So now it's Ashley's turn to go to Zane's house and find out what happened to him. What a kind representative to ask the girl who is currently having a nervous breakdown being stalked by a serial killer to do her job for her when she walks into Zayn's house. just a torch conveniently placed on the floor as if it were the opening of a horror game or something. She doesn't even check if the lights work or anything. She looks up at the ceiling where someone photoshopped it wrong. I made it for the lulz. I like how. the words don't even curve on the wall like they're just floating in the air or something.

She walks in and sees Zayn dead, I mean was anyone really surprised? and even after seeing this, she doesn't try to contact the police, who literally have a body that Detective Diamond was so interested in seeing, can you imagine she just throws the monitor over Zane's head? Well, if he wasn't dead before, he would be now, she goes to pick up the gun and it jams the hell out of it. sound of raising a gun in any video game, thank goodness, but then something amazing happens an hour and 22 minutes into the movie, Ashley calls the police to the crime scene like a normal human being.

I'm sorry, who is Ashley? I told you about the serial killer, ah, Miss Brooks, is this another one of her cyberspace friends? No one would be so mean to someone who made a call. This is like a Disney level villain. After watching this scene I thought I knew she would have a change of heart and the twist is that he would come back and save her but no he just thinks she's a crackhead and goes on to play halo 2. I'm already dead, In fact, the only thing left to do now is go back to the house and call the proxy on Skype, okay, there's blood everywhere, oh, please call 9-1-1, 9-1-1, No, this has to end now, this is her heroic turn, guys, there's only 10 minutes left in the movie and she decides to do it. herself to take on the smile, yeah, we were, we were really building up to this confrontation, you know, her internal struggle in the library, her kiss with Shane Dawson, letting the audience know that she loved the father who, uh, moved the box at the beginning of the movie. the way i just want to point this out she hasn't even checked to see if the gun is loaded she just assumes it has ammo you think maybe she would make sure there is ammo you know check the gun or maybe just using it to intimidate Smiley you don't know what EDL is about, no you shot Shane Dawson the most integral character in the movie how are we going to film the sequel now guys yeah don't shoot him no no don't ? which is fine just close the door and give her the advantage to teleport anywhere she runs towards the bedroom and it's not even a joke she drops the gun in the most pathetic way before she can fire another shot being cornered by an emoticon there's only one exit jump into cgi glass, something hereditary would be blatantly stolen six years later, so yeah, Ashley died from the fall.

To be fair, I'll give the movie credit for committing to that and we find out that Smiley is just a big joke that all of Ashley's mutuals got on board. she, our new one fell and broke her neck, that's amazing, I mean it wasn't actually hinted at throughout the entire movie how uncomfortable everyone was with her, the fact that the proxy literally put a spike in her drink , I think there was a mistake, I'm going to go paint. Honestly, I'd rather Smiley was a serial killer because all these people leading her to her death, it's actually a lot more cruel, we even see the girl from the intro who was murdered and was just used as an example to sell the belief of Smiley to Ashley, which you know makes sense because she seemed genuinely scared of Smiley at the beginning of the movie, which was meant to be a red herring for us, the audience, but she wasn't even in the room when the camera was rolling , so who are you trying to impress?

I've seen money laundering schemes with less steps than what these people thought would be like targeting a thug or something, but nope, just a random lead girl for no reason, they also claim they're anonymous which I don't I totally believe it but Shane Dawson who is also involved explains why they did it because I mean there's only one reason to troll and suddenly this movie looks like it came out in 2005. Amen bro it's so cruel with no reason. If they had to sacrifice her to keep the real smiley face away or something, I'd understand, but they psychologically destroy this girl for weeks by making her think she's mentally ill, only for her to jump out a window to escape, Zayn is left behind with proxy who mockingly writes that she did it during lulls three times, in which the real smiley face appears and the game ends while Zayn watches helplessly, I really killed her, oh come on, she killed herself.

No, overall the movie just doesn't make sense, it's too much. complicated like how and why they would target Ashley, I mean the proxy invited her to the party, it was all a hoax too, like why they were bullying Shane at the beginning of the movie, because that doesn't change the dynamic between Ashley and him absolutely. the fact that she sympathized with him also doesn't explain why detective Diamond was so apathetic and teacher too Clayton like he's not involved in this at all maybe he's just a psychopath there are too many false plot threads for the sake of it to do it. and it just doesn't make sense, but the main conclusion I got from Smiley is that even though this isn't a great movie, Shane Dawson has a lot of money, thanks everyone for watching, did you know that only one hundred percent of you subscribe to the channel please unsubscribe I don't want you here go away
