NC's Top 11 Trailers.

Seriously, someone needs to tell Doug to try to stop talking for the majority.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

Yeah, discussing trailers like that is almost as bad as mocking one of your friends who committed suicide less than a year ago.

I disagree with him on TDKR. I thought that the trailers sucked but the movie was better than I was lead to believe.

I wasn't really clear on why Bane wanted to follow Ra's al Ghul's plan to destroy Gotham, even though Gotham had apparently been cleaned up since Batman Begins. Other than that, I was also a fan of The Dark Knight Rises.

Y'no, Doug's #1 choice is a really good one, but I think this is at least worth an honorable mention, as well.

Oh, and new Cinemadonna from Todd.

What's odd is that I literally just re-watched the NC's Ghost Rider review the other day, and it is easily one of my favorites from this year. This one, on the other hand, came off more awkward in execution than anything else. I think that it can be attributed to NC's and MikeJ's styles not meshing too well, and in general the crossovers where he and the other reviewer are clearly recording their scenes completely separate from each other rather than in-person or talking live shows in how strange and uncoordinated the exchanges feel. Overall, I found this to be a "meh" review, despite having plenty of good material to make plenty of jokes off of with this film. At the very least I still liked the bits where the NC did his mock Cage voice to dub over certain scenes. That's always funny.

I liked Rachel's cameo, myself.

This week the NC looks at his favorite cartoon and recalls it's 11 most....not so great episodes.

First of all, HOLY SHIT at that ending cameo! I can't believe that they got him to be in the video, and what's more this will lead into next week's episode, which I'm really looking forward to now.

Secondly, I feel mixed about this list. I agree with some choices, but flat-out find Doug to be completely nuts for including others. This is especially true for #11, which is the most nit-picky bull-shit that I've ever seen. The episode was among the best, and just because they failed doesn't mean that it didn't have a point to it. With "The Boiling Rock Part I," the whole fun of it was being like a classic break-out of prison story, except this is one of the Fire Nation's most elite prisons, so it only makes sense that their first attempt would fail, otherwise it would make the prison seem like an utter joke. It also had plenty of great character moments for Sokka, Zuko, and Suki. The episode was fine, and did progress the story just fine. The NC was really stretching, here. Personally I would have included Avatar Day on this list, but for some reason the NC seems to be in love with that episode, even though it's really nothing that special either in its message or execution.

Anyways, I do agree with him about a few entries, like I said. Particularly "Sokka's Master" being one of them, which, while not a bad episode by any means, really wasn't needed. Sokka had already proven to be incredibly useful before that point, so it never made sense to me that he would all of a sudden be struck with an inferiority complex, which the show never really indicated or implied before this episode.

Anyways I don't know what my top 11 episodes would be, but I do know some that I want to see included on the NC's list, including: The Blind Bandit, Zuko Alone, The Drill, Tales of Ba Sing Se, The Avatar and the Fire Lord, The Day of Black Sun Part I and/or II, and The Boiling Rock Part II to make up for his folly in this list.
