Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest&nbsp; 85555" data-source="post: 9634436">It varies. Some do. But other times i like getting the opinions of non-genre fan. And I also watch movie YouTube channels for a variety of reasons. Sometimes I just want to hear an individual's take for instance. I watch both for being informed and for entertainment value. I also just want to get a sense of what people think after I have written my own review, so I will type the movie name in and see what comes up or go to channels I know. And if it is a mainstream movie I will usually google a siskel and ebert review of it on youtube because those are usually on there (and I find that just interesting from a time capsule perspective: I will do this with other critics as well if it is there to find). I've also found it interesting to look at old news coverage of movies coming out because that is also sometimes on youtube as well (or you may find some really old late night appearances). Another thing I like finding on youtube is interviews with directors and actors, and panels. I find many times that panels where the audience can directly engage someone like William Friedkin is pretty interesting. And finding similar things like interviews with both Friedkin and Blatty were of equal interest (I think this one was a DVD extra that made its way onto youtube). But I will also do things like watch reaction videos to movies. These kind of fascinate me. You have to work out how much of the reaction is for the clicks, but it is at least a window into a wide variety of reactions to a film from different people. I just often have this urge to find as much as I can on a movie on YouTube after watching it. I will also usually look for articles on them. I buy a lot of physical media. And for me the joy of genre movies on bluray and DVD is being able to check out stuff like the commentary track and the essays they sometimes include from film historians and critics in the sleeves. I am probably not as deep on this as I was when I was younger (I remember spending a whole month listening to the audio commentary and rewatching movies when I was in my 20s for example, usually some old martial arts movie or something)</blockquote>
