Channel Larry (EDIT: Channel Awesome renamed to just Nostalgia Critic)

He was more of a traditional reviewer, and he was fine with it. I don't think he really fit in with the site's tone, but he wasn't bad for what he offered.

I never saw this, but Doug's top 10 worst cliches.

If this was done by the time The Hunger Games came out, he would've probably brought it up a lot for #9.

I've been wanting Todd to tackle this one for a while.

So I really like the new Nostalgia Critic episodes. However, I do hope they aren't all in the 40 minute range from now on.

I like the subject of this video.

New Todd video is up. A One-Hit Wonderland profiling Eddie Murphy's "Party All the Time".

That was...educational. I didn't know Eddie Murphy actually put out 3 albums.

[Avaitor]

I read an interview of his where Murphy says that he still writes music and has a lot of songs saved, but hasn't released any of them because there isn't interest in him to return to music.

I like the subject of this video.

Good thing the NC came to the conclusion that he did. People who look at Shakespeare plays can attempt to pick apart these things. But the truth of the matter is that all Shakespeare was trying to do was tell a story. He wasn't trying to say anything about the intelligence or how mature these characters are. Romeo and Juliet was just written as a love story. The problem is that society turned it into the love story, the definitive story of true love. And that's not how Shakespeare intended it.

So to me, Romeo and Juliet is still one of the best stories ever told.

Wanna know how bad Doug is with retaining information for his videos? He finished his Dreamworks-uary videos with Kung-Fu Panda 2 and Madagascar 3, literally forgetting Puss in Boots' existence.

He's making up for that by doing it sometime this month, but still.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

To be fair, he already did a review of Puss n' Boots back when it came out (and I mean besides just the Bum review). Granted, it wasn't in the style of his Disney-cember/Dreamworks-uary reviews, but he still did talk about the film.

At any rate, I honestly didn't watch most of these videos mostly because Doug kind of fails at making me interested in seeing his outlook on certain films. I just prefer James Rolfe or various other reviews for more serious mini-reviews of this sort since people like that actually do their research and have interesting things to say about what they are reviewing (in many cases informative stuff rather than just personal opinions). There's that, and also that I generally don't agree with some of Doug's common criticisms that he uses for quite a few of these films that I like. Also, he doesn't seem to have a lot of enthusiasm when doing these reviews, in general, which is why they kind of get boring for me.

[Avaitor]

Yeah, there wasn't musch of a reason to do this for Dreamworks. I'm glad to see how isn't a hater still stuck in like 2006, but the world wasn't asking for him to tackle all of their animated films.

[Avaitor]

Son of the Mask? DAFT LOVES THAT MOVIE!

[Spark Of Spirit]

The entire theater groaned when that trailer was shown for the first time. That's only happened a few times, I think Seed Of Chucky was another one.

[Avaitor]

Wait, did he refer to Gromit as the human?

[No-Personality]

The entire theater groaned when that trailer was shown for the first time. That's only happened a few times, I think Seed Of Chucky was another one.

Seed wasn't half bad. I mean, compared to Bride, it is fairly bracing that every single sympathetic character in the film is killed horribly. But it was very clever, direct, and had guts.
