Changes: Creature Movie Trips

Revision as of 02:07, 13 February 2016

Creature Movie Trips were a series of videos uploaded to the Creature Hub channel, showing the Creatures attending a movie, usually on the day it premiered, a midnight release, or movie marathons. Originally trips generally took place at an AMC Theater, but eventually they were filmed at a nearby Alamo Drafthouse.

As of May 2015, it was revealed in an official Reddit post that the Creatures no longer considered the series viable, as each individual episode took too much time to film. It returned on Feb 12, 2016 with the Creatures going to see Deadpool, but with no skits.

Format

I. Intro

(Episodes 1-10, 14, 16-17, 20, 23) A conversation between the Creatures usually filmed at the house.

(Episodes 11-13) The other Creatures "leaving" James at the house.

(Episodes 15, 18-19, 21-22, 24-48) A theatrical, improvised skit featuring the Creatures dressing up as characters similar to the ones in the movie they are about to see.

II. Pre-movie conversation/predictions in the car.

III. Before the movie in the parking lot, in older episodes James would scream "We're going to see _____!"

IV. Post-movie: thoughts and opinions on the movie, originally filmed in the car, but recently has been filmed back at the office. In older movie trips, James (if present) would yell at people out the window on the drive home from the film.

Dude, Spoilers!

Starting with Elysium, the Creatures began filming a separate video where they would give their ratings on the movie with spoilers, since Dan had to edit out spoilers from previous movie trips. They then asked the fans if they should do it regularly which each movie trip. Although fan response was overwhelmingly positive, it was only done for Elysium and Kick Ass 2, before seemingly being abandoned.

Trivia

Every current Creature (as well as former Creatures Gassy and Sly) have been to at least one movie trip.
Dan has been to the most Creature Movie Trips, appearing in all thus far except R.I.P.D (due to being at Comic-Con) and Insidious: Chapter 2.
During Iron Man Movie Marathon, Star Trek into Darkness, and Man of Steel, the Creatures jokingly left James at the house even though James says he's the biggest fan of the movie, wearing clothes and accessories related to the movie. In reality he went to see all of these movies (except Star Trek into Darkness).
James yelling out the window on the drive home became one of the most iconic parts of the channel, and was one of the only reasons why some people watch the movie trips.
- James isn't the only one who yelled out of the car; Jordan yelled out during their trip to see Die Hard, and Sly yelled out the window on the way to Iron Man 3.
Kick Ass 2 was the first movie trip where another Creature drove besides Jordan, as Sly was driving (excluding episodes with multiple cars as Immortal was seen driving with Nova during Iron Man 3). Dan also drove when they went to see The Quiet Ones and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Insidious: Chapter 2 was the first horror movie trip.
Sp00n has stated that he dislikes movie premieres, which explains his rare appearance in movie trips.
The Creatures sometimes announce the schedule for which movie trips they will see, particularly if it is a time when movies will be coming out weekly.
The Sin City trip was made private due to the controversy of James' face paint used in the skit. The Creatures apologized through this tweet.
