Nov 27, 2008 - Were it not for your You Tube clip the copy of my DVD of Eyes Wide Shut would still be on the shelf of a Brisbane DVD store. I purchased purely on interest sparked by watching your clip. I'm not sure I believe in Illuminati or any of that cobblers but I absolutely love your work. I can't think of any film show on TV or Radio that I look forward to as much as your clips. It was a real shame to find out that they aren't going to be on You Tube.

Nov 27, 2008 - BTW Bit of left field ask: have you though about doing Paul Verhoeven's Star Ship Troopers? I saw it on the TV the other day.Although ostensibly a story about mankind's heroic struggle against CGI insects, it does takes on a whole new dimension in the post 911. The depiction of jingoism in an American-style society under attack was remarkably pre⋅scient in light of some of the insanities of the War on Terror. Just a thought: possible bolleux's

Nov 28, 2008 - you're one of the few ppl to request starship troopers, but i def think it's worth a review. It anticipates and paralles the whole 911 / buenos airos (can't remember how to spell that lol) and the invasion of middle east / clendathu. it's even got bunker busters lol. everyone thought starship troopers was stupid but it was a very clever parody of the idiocy of war.

Nov 28, 2008 - Only a few of them aren't on youtube, but they can still be downloaded from my site. No worries.

Dec 4, 2008 - Possible through legalities, you could use parts of pictures, acronyms, subtle but obvious hints and above all, flattery. Don't take my word for it just check it out.

Dec 7, 2008 - Got it pretty much sorted now. Have been quoting 'fair use' laws at the start of the vids. Only problem is when a company does decide to make a complaint Youtube takes their side even though the correct legal notices are on the videos. Doesn't matter though. Anything not allowed on here I just post on the website.

Dec 22, 2008 - There is no stopping a force spined with the medias, economy, and education, but youtube gives us hope doesn't it. The hope that there might be one spot, one "lobby". Where we might have the privilege to be free, and express ourselves freely. Sadly, despite the wonderful effort of millions of people communicating and sharing thoughts blindly and openly. Youtube is controlled.. Rob i can't say enough about your analysis videos. You spark old triggers and light new fires. Don't Stop For Them. bw

Jan 9, 2009 - these analysis videos give rise to intelligent thought...its only logical they try to stop that

Jan 17, 2009 - I talked to you about the shining review remember me... I went to the video store and baught some of them like clockwork orange but i reccomend you do a review on "IT" by Stephen King tht is a rather old movie like back in the 80's so i bieleve you wouldnt get a coyright complaint becuase ppl put that movie on youtube part by part and i think you are a rather inteligent man to were you wont get caaught ;]

robag88 Says:

Jan 18, 2009 - Thanks for the compliment :) Have you read the book of 'IT'? I recommend it - one of King's better efforts. As time's gone on I've generally found that it's certain production companies like FOX who object to me posting vids about their films. Fortunately Warner Bros distrubute Kubrick's films and they tend not to complain. Any reviews of FOX owned films I just put out as free downloads from my site.

Jan 22, 2009 - Youtube is kicking itself in the nads

screamwriter1 Says:

Jan 22, 2009 - Have you seen or reviewd any of the films i posted you? Did you get my email?

robag88 Says:

Jan 23, 2009 - What did you send me and when? There's too many emails to keep track.

HerculesRockefellerr Says:

Jan 25, 2009 - I saw the original Psycho once when I was younger but after I saw your review and analysis I went out and bought it. What a classic movie that is! I would not have purchased the movie if I didnt see your vids and I agree the studio's only harm themselves by removing them. How many people are looking to buy the OG Psycho these days?.....not many

inorcistartist Says:

Feb 10, 2009 - Hi Rob Ager, I am so sorry to hear this crap going on with your video's! Your analysis are very interesting. 20th century Fox, is being stupid. It is true that even movies that I didn't like at first, I've bought after seeing your video's! You even changed the way I look at movies, and how I make my own art.

inorcistartist Says:

Feb 10, 2009 - But I wanted to comment because I told you a long long time ago that the actor who plays Burke Dennings in "The Exorcist" actually died in the making of the film. I have now proove to back this statement up. Check the youtube video "Didn't You Used To Be Satan? - Part 2" and at 4:25 actress Ellen Burstyn is telling this. Well, I know you might have foregotten I ever wrote this to you, because it's already more then a year ago now, but I remember. ;) Take care Rob, and keep up the good work!

GradyBaby13 Says:

Feb 16, 2009 - Mr. Ager, I love what you're doing. I only found your reviews a week ago, and I am a big fan already! Many years ago, after seeing 2001, about 11 or 12 years ago, I have always been haunted (for lack of a better word) by the bedroom scene, especially when the astronaut was sitting alone at the dinner table. I connected, even with all that ground breaking imagery, I connected with an overwhelming feeling of being alone like that! So I sought out this movie again to find some kind of resolution.

Orsley Says:

Feb 18, 2009 - What can be done to persuade Warner Bros Home Video to remaster "Barry Lyndon" in Hi-Def & release it on Blu-Ray? As of now, it's the only Kubrick film from "2001"-on not available in 16x9 or Hi-Def, and arguably it's the one that would benefit most from the fidelity of the HD image. Anyway, excuse the tangent. It seems your analysis vids have been re-instated here, as I've been working through your Kubrick reviews with satisfaction that I am not alone in my appreciation of this great artist.

jivanknappgrooms Says:

Mar 11, 2009 - You've only made me want to watch these films again ( EVEN The Road Warrior, of which I am not a fan. ) The taking down of these videos dosen't make any sense.

rech63 Says:

Apr 16, 2009 - What is there to say, but... keep at it Rob! I've seen most of the films you've reviewed, and it's great what the power of point of view can do. AMAZING! I love these films even more than before.

clickerstick8 Says:

May 5, 2009 - OH DUDE! You have an analysis on Eyes Wide Shut?! Oh, thank you! I love it when people try to figure out things with that movie. :) Thanks, man!

hecatesmagickchild Says:

May 12, 2009 - i just did.

connectwired Says:

May 31, 2009 - Rob, I love your film analysis. Good luck on keeping your videos on here and increasing in popularity as well as more hits to your site; you deserve it.

robag88 Says:

Jun 9, 2009 - This issue is now dealt with folks. youtube has a "fair use" option which users can cite in response to copyright challenges. I've used it several times to keep my vids up. Thanks for the comments folks. i'm now switching off comments for this vid :)
