Is This The Best Directed Movie Ever?
Patrick Willems usually draws a little over 26,000 views a day across his library, and right now he is running a touch above that, with nothing new posted. The work is being done by videos already out there.
The freshest of them is three weeks old. "Is This The Best Directed Movie Ever?" keeps its subject out of the title, but the description gives it away in one line: the time in 2005 that Spielberg went into god mode. That year brought two Spielberg films, War of the Worlds and Munich, and the description does not say which one gets the crown. Either way, it has passed half a million views and is still picking up around 3,000 a day.
The busiest video is older. "Why Is Every Streaming Blockbuster So Bad?" went up almost four months ago and has passed one and a half million views, the kind of total that makes it the channel's current calling card. The description bills it as a hard-hitting investigation into films that cost hundreds of millions and might as well not exist, which sounds like a premise plenty of viewers recognize from their own home screens.
Further back, the season premiere about the music video, built around his own clip for Sibyl's "Down in the Willow Garden," is approaching half a million.
Among the movie and TV channels near his size, most of the big weekly totals belong to clip channels like AlexandeR-Edits and Suits Official. Willems, who calls himself the Terrence Malick of YouTube in his about text, works at a slower, essay-length pace. About 1,000 new subscribers arrived over the week, a steady week for a channel that hasn't posted anything new.
