This week YouTube channel CinemaSins published a video highlighting all the film’s supposed flaws, picking out 146 in total:
Vogt-Roberts was not best pleased about the video and hit back with a flurry of tweets, calling it “garbage”, “terrible”, “infuriating” and “like when Trump lies on camera”:
Our cinema sins video is out. What Rian said is how I feel. These videos are now the length of TV pilots – where people tell actual stories. https://t.co/dpzdWO3YXV

I don't want to be a cynical fuck myself but it reeks of failed filmmaker taking his issues out on other people's work.

Things like Cinema Sins simply suck the life blood of other people and are often just wrong about intent or how cinema works. It's terrible.

The last one really gets me as it's basically the entire reason the film takes place in the 70's. This guy just says shit like trump.

Anyhow. I just wanted to point out why these videos are infuriating. They're often just wrong or think they're smarter than you.

I love film criticism and I love reading negative reviews if the author makes compelling and well written arguments.

To anyone who thinks this video makes me mad or hurts me. It doesn't. I just wanted to point out a few obvious examples that are just wrong.

It's like when trump lies on camera just because he can. It's infuriating and there are people out there who listen to him & cinema sins.

Maybe I'll return to this and watch their entire video if it doesn't make me hammer a nail through my dick and point out more errors.

I make movies because I love film. These guys are just trolling the art form we love and profiting from it while dumbing the conversation.
