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

Out of curiosity, why didn't the villain just let Chris Pine marry Anne Hathaway from the beginning instead of trying some legal BS that no one but him agrees with? If this point has been brought up in the review I apologize, I'm only about a third through it.

Edit: ah, that's why.
 
God damn, that was almost Bad Lieutenant levels of Nic Cage. Especially all the faces.
That camera work... gross.

Cool to see Rachel again, even for a cameo.

Didn't even show the part where he said "And if you don't tell me what I wanna know, I'm gonna let it ouuuu-AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" It happened during the "scraping at the door" scene.
 
My step-son watches the Nostalgia Critic. He's watching it right now.

I really, really, really hate the way he talks. He over-enunciates everything with that squeaky, high-pitched voice.

I need to buy that kid some fucking earphones.

I love this movie. Cage is pretty Cage in it compared to the first boring movie and the action is awesome.

Did anyone else get a "fake geek girl" (the idea that a woman would only be interested into comics and stuff to impress men) vibe from Princess Diaries 2? The Hyper Fangirl gets "exposed" as faking her interests to get with the Critic.

I obviously don't think Doug Walker is a misogynist or anything, but it's unfortunate.

... No.
The character was meant to mock the Critic's hyper-obsessive fans (which do exist if you read Tumblr... *shudders*). Much like how Douchey McNitpick mocked the people that cried foul at every little move he made.

Also, she was introduced back in the Lorax review to mock people that found the movie's "cool" Once-ler attractive and adorable and made Tumblr pages about him.

You kinda missed her point.
 
Strange how he talks about how painful the cliffhangers were, despite him watching it in a marathon just a year ago, and not as it aired.

Wow, there's one notable episode absent from the top 11. I figured
Tales of Ba Sing Se
and what was his #1 would be #1 and #2.
 
I gotta say what is up with that thread title.
We really need a mod to change it to something else.
Or is this our way of hiding in Off Topic and not community.
 
Why is it on a Monday? Doesn't he usually do these on Tuesday's?

From what I understand, he made a deal with Maker TV to post the Editorials a day early on their site, before they go on Blip (which Maker owns).
I think it's part of their transition from Blip to Maker since Disney bought them.
 
What is Maximum Overdrive? The only time I hear it is Plankton-related.
A movie based on a Stephen King book directed by Stephen King himself about a day when technology, mostly vehicles, gain a soul and try to kill humanity.
Turns out they wanted fuel (Which makes no sense for the non-vehicles that were possessed) and were apparently being controlled by aliens who were discovered and destroyed by the Russians the next day.
<-- Everything there will be spoiled by the NC episode anyway.

It stars one of the guys from The Breakfast Club who went on to coach the Mighty Ducks, Lisa Simpson, some guy who looks like an older Haley Joel Osment with a young Haley Joel Osments face, some other people who don't matter and a cameo from Stephen King. Also, the Green Goblin's mask is the main villain.

I should probably also mention that Overdrive is/was a gear in an automatic transmission.

In the 80's, automatic transmissions often had five gear settings, P - R - N - D - OD, or Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, and Overdrive. The first four are obvious, but most people didn't know what "Overdrive" meant, except that it sounded really cool. Like... maybe it's an afterburner or something? I knew a lot of people who courageously tried it, but then they couldn't tell what it did, so they carefully put it back into Drive before the car exploded, just to be safe. Apparently, it allows you to drive like a grandmother and conserves fuel, or something like that. Very un-awesome.

Stephen King calling his movie "Maximum Overdrive" was probably just a case of putting awesome-sounding car terms into a movie with cars (or trucks), to generate hype, but maybe he was actually trying to say something about fuel conservation or something.

Plankton shifts his ride into "Maximum Overdrive" to escape because his fictional gear is based on what 80's people actually thought that Overdrive did.
 
I'm pretty sure Stephen King admitted that he was snorting coke every day while he was making Maximum Overdrive, or something along those lines. I think I can see it.
 
The only one that'd come to my mind would be Monster Squad.

80's bomb that's really good...

I wonder what the #1 will be. Would "Clue" count as a Halloween film?
Hmm, I've seen him reference Clue a few times (I think?), but I don't know if that'd fit the "Halloween" quota. More of a mystery comedy.
