That Guy With the Glasses/Cinemassacre Thread -

[spaps]

We kept talking about TGWTG and Cinemassacre on the Irate Gamer thread, so here you can talk about how much you like/love/hate/despise TGWTG.com and Cinemassacre.

 

[The Hunter]

I've personally never seen anything by them except for Kickassia, which, as far as I know, fucking sucked, so yeah. I don't like online reviewers in general, so I'm gonna continue to stay away from that site.

 

[Niachu]

I'm really glad to see the NC back. I wasn't sure how I felt about it when the news first came out, but now that I've seen the new episodes it's like he combined Demo Reel and his Nostalgia Critic shtick and it's wonderful.

The others I watch are Nostalgia Chick and JesuOtaku. I haven't watched AVGN in awhile.

I do wonder how Spoony is doing these days though.

As much as I like the other stuff on that site, Kickassia sucked. Suburban Knights was the best of the anniversary movies.

I too am glad NC is back. My favorite on that site has to be the Cinema Snob. I used to like NChick, but these days she comes across as a poor mans Plinkett. I used to like Linkara when I was more into comics, but now I only watch when he's reviewing a comic I'm interested in. Typically though, I find him to be an unfunny, Poorly read dope who doesn't know as much about comics as he thinks he does. I don't care what him or his idiotic fans say, All Star Batman is one of the best Batman comics ever.

Although I like the fact that NC has actors now since I found it unbearable when he was doing every part , I really wish he'd shorten all of the side segments, I swear they go on longer than the review.

 

[Niachu]

Never heard of her. What's her schtick?

NChick has really moved into analyzing movies and what goes into making them, which I can respect and often find interesting (considering she's a film student), but I do wish she'd play up the comedy angle a little more like she used to. Something to make her analysis videos more engaging. I don't mind her deadpan demeanor but she's not the greatest actor...at least not as good as Doug. It ruins the scene just a tad when she looks like she's really close to laughing.

 

[Saney]

I actually really like most of the TGWTG guys. I regularly watch the NC, Linkara, Cinema Snob, Film Brain and Spoony, when he was a member of the site. I just think they're funny.

Mr Plinkett (aka Mike Stoklasa) schtick is speaking in a deanpan voice, going off topic, having his setences cut off midway, mentioning something about killing his ex-wife.

Ah Mr Plinkett. Probabaly my favourite online reviewer. He specialises in lengthy and in depth ripping apart of movies

But of course its all down to personal taste so you may find him as boring as my roomate does (but his favourite reviewer is filmbrain so fuck him)

I kinda agree but on the other hand most of her earlier episodes were hit and miss for me because of the comedy. Eitehr way she is still watchable which is more than I can say for others on the site

The "ett" is misleading.

 

[Snorlaxative]

All I can say is that the tgwtg crew can be mildly amusing at times (except Angry Joe, he is awful). I just do not really like their fan base. They are mostly eager, spergy fanboys who flip their shit if you criticize any of the TgwTg content.

I'm also not sure what they do to their talent, but when they leave the site they go batshit crazy (see Spoony and/or the Amazing Atheist)

 

[The Hunter]

Since everyone is saying nothing but good things about this site so far, I decided to give Nostalgia Critic a shot. Seems boring so far. AVGN isn't for me. I think the only reviewer that got me to legitimately laugh was Game Grumps. Not Jontron by himself, not Egoraptor by himself, they have to be in a team or it's not funny. But yeah, so far this has been sort of a waste of my time.

 

[Niachu]

Has anyone seen NChick's review of Dune? I've heard unfortunate things about it but I literally cannot find it anywhere.

She scrubbed it from the internets. I don't even remember the reason, but probably the spergs fanbois over at tgwtg bullied her into it.
Have you seen her latest video with Rantasmo from Needs More Gay? I actually found it really funny and a great analysis of Disney and Gay Culture.

I think the only reviewer that got me to legitimately laugh was Game Grumps. Not Jontron by himself, not Egoraptor by himself, they have to be in a team or it's not funny.

I rarely watch them anymore after realizing how goddamn ignorant the both of them are. BANANA SHOES IS STILL A GREAT REMIX THOUGH.

Yeah, like I said, the two of them are a couple of fuckwads, but they went pretty well together when I started watching it. I haven't seen more than like, 3 of those reviews, but those three really had me in tears for quite a bit. Especially this one:

I also like the Nostalgia Critic, though his most recent review (Son of the Mask) brought back some memories that I really didn't want to uncover ever again. That movie is horrifying! I can't believe I actually managed to sit through all of it the sole time I decided to give it a try.

Yeah, that's the one I watched. The intro made me giggle quite a bit, but the rest seemed bland to me. You know, the whole reviewer schtick. The guy was making valid points, but I didn't see the humor in his delivery. And shouting's not funny. After 18 years of living with my brother, it proves to be annoying after the first 45 minutes.

 

[cypocraphy]

I'm not sure if this is more Doug Walker than his NC character,but it seems to me like he thinks he's above enjoying 'stupid' shit like "Ernest Scared Stupid". (which I consider to be in the 'so stupid it's funny/entertaining' realm)

It's ok to like movies that Roger Ebert doesn't approve of. I wonder if he knows that.

 

[darkhorse816]

Nostalgia Critic's fun to watch. I don't like it when people try to imitate him, and criticize everything. And I also don't like it when people credit him with making The Room popular.

Nostalgia Critic has this charisma, and if you want to replicate his show, you need to be original, intelligent, and charismatic.

I got bored over my winter vacation and watched most of his reviews. The main thing I disagree with him is when he disses Jeff Goldblum.

NO! Bad critic!
