Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })For added effect, listen to this while reading.Adam Johnston, a Vancouver-based cinephile and musician, runs YourMovieSucks, a movie review show. He's known for his nasal and snarky delivery, inquisitive demeanor of explanations, use of a weird soundtrack and altered images to create a psychedelic experience over sardonic comments, and lack of taped material or a narrative/character of any kind.Outside the long-review series YMS, he does shorter ones known as Thoughts On, maintains movie vlogs known as Quickies, and might even recommend a good film every so often. One major draw is his care for film as an art form, rather than any particular genre or style, as well as his rather forgiving demeanor toward almost everything he reviews. Also, since 2009, he's been doing videos recounting his top ten films of the year, which include indie or foreign films that were made in the year but did not get a wide release at the time.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })As for that musician part, he also runs an alt-rock band known as An Unkindness, which had a few songs of theirs featured on Rock Band and one of their songs ("Fragments") covered by Blondie. The band has currently put out 3 projects (2 EPs and a compilation) available for purchase on Bandcamp, with a debut full-length album on the way, to say the least.He was once a member of The Amazing Atheist-run entertainment network Not Productive until he left due to commitment issues. | |

YourMovieSucks.org (Web Video) / int_2a321a1f | comment |
A Date with Rosie Palms: Remarks on one After Earth scene that it appears as if the protagonist is masturbating to the memory of his sister being murdered. Analyzes (yes, really) the scenes featuring this between Oldboy (2003) and Oldboy (2013). While the former is a sign that the protagonist has become desperate for companionship after years that he does so to a normal video in shame, the latter has Joe pleasurably masturbate to something that looks like porn anyway and just look like a perverted creep after a week in captivity. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
YourMovieSucks.org (Web Video) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early Installment Weirdness: Adam's earliest videos (such as the Quarantine review) were more reminiscent of Mr. Plinkett. It wasn't until later that he developed the more dynamic style of editing and voiceover that he'd come to be known for. Several of his early videos had him use recorded footage of himself for various reasons, usually for skits. His newer reviews have mostly done away with this, focusing on describing the story using examples from the movie itself. In his less serious reviews, he'll sometimes use footage of himself, such as his discussion on Neil Breen and his films. | |

We Used to Be Friends | |
YourMovieSucks.org (Web Video) / int_51a3ba7 | comment |
We Used to Be Friends: Played straight with Mark, Adam's friend and roommate. The two of them were friends, and Adam even had Mark work for him as an editor, but sometime between 2016 and 2017, Mark began to flake on his job, while also demanding money despite not working for his at the time girlfriend and drugs. This, along with Mark constantly taking advantage of Adam's attempts to be reasonable and understanding, eventually reached a point where the two started arguing during streams, most cases being Mark lashing out at Adam. Adam eventually reached a boiling point and not only fired him but also kicked him out. Since then, Adam has not talked about Mark at all, while Mark has attempted to make his own YouTube channel, all while being nearly homeless. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus | |
YourMovieSucks.org (Web Video) / int_62f9d08e | comment |
Freeze-Frame Bonus: In his Unfriended video, he talks about the idea that it would have been clever if the main character was shown muting apps in the background instead of the Skype call simply fading to nothing while she checked Facebook. Accompanying this point, he has a screencap of a Windows Audio Manager... where all the volume bars are showing various furry porn applications and web pages. Yes, really.◊ When he checks out the Cool Cat book he got with his copy of the movie in his Cool Cat Saves the Kids review, you can see that he filled in the blanks on one page so that it said: "This Cool Cat book belongs to the Islamic state" and "I like to read it with no clothes on". In the same Cool Cat review, when he puts the DVD into his Playstation 3, you can see a vibrator on the floor. In his Only God Forgives review, he at one point describes the film as "all icing and no cake"; at the moment he says "cake", a picture of GLaDOS flashes onscreen. | |

YourMovieSucks.org (Web Video) / int_67013b78 | comment |
Aluminum Christmas Trees: Cool Cat Saves The Kids. The cheesy filtered shot of Cool Cat running to uptempo synth music and the Tarantino-esque Power Walk in the gun sequence seem like they might be jokey inserts created by Adam, but they're actually in the film! And they Make Just As Much Sense In Context. | |

They Copied It, So It Sucks!: invoked He has made a video criticizing the "Kimba Crowd" that bashes The Lion King (1994) for supposedly copying elements from Kimba the White Lion. It argues that the comparisons between the two works are misleading (and in several cases poorly researched) — the "plagiarized" elements are just superficial similarities and common tropes that both of the works happen to use. It is also argued that the accusations of plagiarism are not just an insult to the talented people who worked on TLK, but also a disservice to Kimba — they give the impression that Kimba is so much like TLK that it's not worth checking out if you've already watched TLK. | |

Berserk Button: Rude filmgoers, as ranted about in his Quickie review of Birdman. Poor remakes of excellent films, as seen in his reviews of Quarantine, Oldboy (2013), and Aladdin (2019), among others. Adam really doesn't like Lucas Hedges, as expressed when he talks about Manchester by the Sea and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, which made it all the more shocking for his audience when his mid90s Quickie saw him state that he actually enjoyed Hedges' performance. | |

Shout-Out: He actually gets pissed off at Nymphomaniac's reference to Antichrist, and argues that it ruins the latter for those who haven't seen it. At one point in the Cool Cat Saves the Kids review, he puts footage of Death Grips and Uncle Ricky over Cool Cat. He even gets dubbed by M.C. Ride. During the "wolf mauling" scene in his review of Frozen (2010) (wherein the trained animals used for the film were clearly only playing with him with SFX to make it sound brutal), he states that the character is only being kissed by doggos all the while playing the Annoying Dog's theme. | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
YourMovieSucks.org (Web Video) / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: In his Unfriended review, he notes the inconsistency of whether or not the Skype call is audible while another program is being used, with most cases being that it's dead silent. He notes that this could be a setup for a potential Jump Scare, and tries to demonstrate by showing eerie footage of a dark room with atmospheric sounds, although there's no scare, since he loves us too much. He also points out how this trope is exploited in Megan Is Missing, when two photos of Megan being tortured are shown with no music or sound effects, explaining that people find it one of the scariest scenes in the movie because it takes advantage of the anticipation that usually comes before a Jump Scare, but without an actual Jump Scare. | |

All Part of the Show | |
YourMovieSucks.org (Web Video) / int_cf511248 | comment |
All Part of the Show: Played for Laughs. Adam purchased an opening-day ticket for The Rise of Skywalker, but was unable to watch it in theaters due to Vancouver's faulty public transportation system. Refusing to buy another ticket and give Disney more money, he opted to pirate it, and the first two minutes of his Quickie review of the film treat the poor-quality cam-rip 100% seriously, and he almost gives it a 10/10. He remarks that the Opening Scroll is in an "alien language"note It's in Spanish with J. J. Abrams providing (quite poor) English subtitles. He comments on Abrams' bold decision to stick it to the man by making his characters have visionsnote Conspicuous, screen-dominating overlaid ads of a gambling website ad involving a piñata being hit by a bat. He notes the presence of silhouetted ghostsnote audience members walking in front of the screen. | |

It's Been Done | |
YourMovieSucks.org (Web Video) / int_dc020791 | comment |
It's Been Done: His main argument against those that tout the commonly-held belief that The Lion King (1994) ripped off Kimba the White Lion. Throughout his hours of research and watching every single incarnation of the show, he's come to the conclusion that in a series as long and vast as Kimba, practically every trope that could be done has been done. He gives particular criticism to conspiracy theorists that use footage from the 1997 Kimba film (that was released three years after The Lion King) as attempts at evidence that Disney stole shots directly from Kimba, when if anything the inverse is true. | |

April Fools' Day: Put out a review for Ricky Berwick, one of the worst films he'd ever seen (giving it a 6/10). Once the joke seems to be done though, he then reveals a cover of "Fragments", a song from his band, only played poorly on a recorder with the singer being a man who sounds vaguely African. | |

RunningGag | |
YourMovieSucks.org (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Jaqui smirking and Michael Scott's "NO, GOD, PLEASE, NO!" scene. Used Jaden Smith's distinctive Wifi-forehead throughout the After Earth review, especially when discussing the "getting a signal" plot points. Pronouncing the title of "I am here....now" with an increasingly long pause in his Fateful Findings review. In the above review Adam will also often sneak the name "Breen" (the name of the director) into certain words. Playing a Master Chief death scream whenever someone dies onscreen, whether male, female, or zombie. Also, using the Mario coin sound when people are shot. He always reviews a film called Frozen upon hitting a big subscriber milestone (the Disney film for 100,000, the 2010 ski-lift thriller for 500,000, and the British psychological thriller for 1 million). To take it even further, he reuses the same intro for each video down to the background music and images. | |

Pet the Dog: He's perfectly willing to acknowledge when he finds something he likes in an otherwise bad film. After savaging Megan Is Missing, he declares that he understands and sympathizes with the message the director was trying to convey (that blindly trusting people you meet on the internet is a bad idea). His "Best Underrated Horror Films" video. He freely admits to finding some of the films he reviews to be invokedSo Bad, It's Good, to the point of where he'll happily watch them again. After spending twenty minutes mocking the dreadful films of independent writer-director Neil Breen, he said that he respected that Breen is obviously very passionate and sincere about what he does. | |

Shown Their Work: Adam has a rather impressively vast knowledge of what works within a film and such, always looking for key elements in a film such as purpose of framing, the sound production, etc. Case and point, he criticized Lars von Trier's logic of constantly throwing stuff in his films with little to no reason for it and getting immensely frustrated that his fanbase are able to justify everything he does as art. He even threw a rant about how Lars made the aspect ratio in a scene of Nymphomaniac completely small despite it appearing normal, even saying he did in fact look through various versions of the movie to explain this point. | |
