The Nostalgia Critic |OT| He Remembers It So You Don't Have To

That was one of his better reviews, and even the skit segments were funny.
I think this was probably one of my favorite reviews of the year. Got a good laugh out of some of the skit jokes, especially the
reality monster
.

Also, dig the fact the kid was wearing a Robotech shirt.
 
Hell yeah, the commercial ones were always an interesting look back at the '80s & '90s trying to sell stuff.
 
Sorry to bump, but had anyone seen this? Was posted on 4chan and got me thinking.

Damn. If that's true... Always thought NC's shots at movies are excruciatingly bad (never watched kickassia, never will). And it could fit all of the personas (although I don't even know half of these guys)...
Then again, this could've been made up if he knows all the names/read blogs/watched making-ofs...
 
Trusting 4chan...

Why did this person take so long to come forward? Everything he says seems to contradict other testimonials.
I think that might be LordKat

Am I missing some horrifying allegation in those posts? It's not exactly news that Kickassia is worse than your average B-movie and that it was made haphazardly and unprofessionally. The rest is just making fun of awkward people being awkward.

That rivalry between doug and rob for example. Seeing them act together in that weird soap they did was always weird...

And also doug acting like a bully...

Kinda shocked me
 
It's a rough thing for a popular critic to learn that identifying what's wrong with a movie is far easier than putting a good one together. I don't blame him for using his audience to indulge his dream and at least try. That'd be shitty of me.

You realize this is the interpretation of events by someone who was around for four days during one shoot?

You ever fought with someone and NOT have it be indicative of a long-term 'rivalry'?
 
Oh a new title huh

also guys that's 4chan, they hate NC. Hell, they even made up stuff against AVGN after not liking his movie.
 
Finally, a new thread :p

And I hardly ever believe stories like that straight up - more proof is required other than saying things that may correspond with how a certain person is viewed (or how people think that that person actually is).
 
Finally, a title change!

Also, stories like that are as trustworthy as the ones about the GameGrumps split. The guy who wrote that stuff just seems like a terrible person who doesn't know shit. I highly doubt Doug is a jerk and he obviously doesn't know how awkward people act awkward.
 
But seriously, that's a 4chan post. Come on guys.

It's a shot of a very old chain of posts that usually gets circulated around.
 
Whether it's true or not, I think I'd be bummed if Brad turned out to be a dick. He seems really genuine in his videos.

I can totally see Doug being a diva though.
I dunno. When he does videos as himself he seems really awesome. It was his pre-cancellation Critic persona that was a huge Diva. Actually his Diva-ness was the main focus of their last Anniversary video. The reboot of the Critic seems to have cut down on the Diva-ness, but it's pretty much all a character.

And Brad is great. I wish I was part of his circle of friends. Maybe he'd let me try some 20 year old Crystal Pepsi.

I love watching the BTS stuff that he's been putting up, but I see Doug being very demanding about how things should be. That's all I meant about the whole diva comment.

I agree about wanting to be part of Brad's circle of friends. I love the Brad/Jake bromance in his Midnight Screenings.
 
Oh hey, a thread title change. Neat.

I've met Brad multiple times at convention. He is the nicest guy.

Every AVGN thread there devolves into the same stupidity.
His wife cheats on him and is a SJW (the latter because she made a joke about adding a woman's touch to the site).
Their daughter has down's syndrome
James is suicidal because of the money he spent on the movie.

Really makes no sense.
 
To be fair the image does have quite a few positive things to say...

Why should most of it be BS? Spoony was an asshole at the time. Linkara does seem like he'd have weird social issues. The conversation written there, I could totally see happening, in his voice and everything.

I'm surprised it says Phelous was a cool guy, because to me he comes across similar to Linkara.

I mean if you want to lie and make it sound like Doug and Rob are bullies, I guess it'd be best if you sprinkled a little truth in there too, but really. Overall doesn't sound too far off base.

You do know how a typical 4chan "leak" post looks like right? Stuff like this is pretty much how Smash leaks are made of.
 
4chan has an extreme hatred of NC, and tends to invent as much stuff to get "angry" about over him as possible. So take every bit of that with a grain of salt.
 
Surprised this didn't just turn into a general TGWTG thread. Speaking of which, I'm only now just hearing about JesuOtaku leaving. Not really surprised.
 
I recall she was on a hiatus or something. Felt like she was barely doing anything aside from her seasonal reviews, which was a shame that it seemed like she never finished any of them.
 
i always got the vibe that pheleous was down to earth. pheleous makes fun of his own videos constantly. linkara inspired this very accurate parody

You know, I was actually going to say that with the grain of salt that 4chan thread usually gets, I can completely believe that the posts dealing with Linkara were absolutely accurate.

And for folks that watched the Mega64 parody, you might want to watch the real rant Linkara did before one of his videos just to see how Mega64 was... not exactly exaggerating a lot.
 
It's a cult classic, which are allowed to be bombs as long as they get an audience later.

Either way I was wrong
But even around its release (Edit: Ah, checked wiki, it was largely ignored at its initial release in 1975, but became a cult hit a year later), I don't think it was considered much of a bomb. Now its 1981 spiritual sequel "Shock Treatment," on the other hand, would've fit the criteria, since it bombed when the producers tried too hard to go after the Rocky Horror market (Only shown at Halloween Midnight Screenings when it was released). Brad Jones reviewed it recently for Musical March (in September), and it's a great movie that holds up surprisingly well in this age of reality TV. Check out the catchy title song:
