I made food but I watched Diamanda's instead of Lindsay's (I have a habit of rewatching new Lindsay videos at least twice in the first few days they come out). Pretty great to be able to sing along with the song she chose for the end credits: "Wargasm" by L7, which I still have memorized.

[Daikun]

Lindsay's newest video is another glorified vlog, but Mara's there, and Nella, and it's about junk food:

I disagree with their stance on Pop-Tarts. They CAN be enjoyable, but only under two conditions:

1) It needs to have the frosting. No frosting = Bland.
2) FUCKING TOAST 'EM!

2 words:

Spring Breakers

Another Wish List item can now be crossed off.   

3 guesses as to who's reviewed it (and the first 2 don't count).

[Avaitor]

Watching it now.

As petty as it sounds, I really hope Kyle doesn't like it.

[LumRanmaYasha]

"Spring Break, Spring Break, Spring Breakers is not worth your time"

The caption for the video kinda spoils that he doesn't, doesn't it. 

[Avaitor]

That was a good review, heh.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again- Lars von Trier>>>Harmony Korine

[No-Personality]

Everything in the film is disgusting. So, I truly don't see how someone could have had a fantasy like that.

Meanwhile, if we believe it is a fantasy, Kyle just called the man a racist.

[Dr. Insomniac]

That was a good review, heh.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again- Lars von Trier>>>Harmony Korine

That's like saying the Black Death is better than small pox.

Pretty much, but at least one of them has some scope of talent behind him.

Doug talk about Ghostbusters for a bit.

And stick around for the credits.

I guess Diamanda is the closest thing to a Troma reviewer on the site, while Lupa and Phelous seem to split the majority of Full Moon flicks. Full Moon, by the way, can sometimes be Troma-for-wimps. Anyway, Phelous's newest is definitely him at top form:

http://blip.tv/phelous/gingerdead-man-2-6777505

The film is actually pretty interesting if you know any of the history behind FM or Troma. It's clearly an amalgam of Troma's Terror Firmer and Poultrygeist with Full Moon's The Dead Hate the Living. And the director's name (Silvia St. Croix) kind of reeks of one of David DeCoteau's aliases. Especially since there are so many ultra-beefy guys in the cast. Most of whom's shirts are open a bit. John Buechler has a cameo - he directed Troll and Friday the 13th Part VII as well as did FX on Re-Animator and Nightmare on Elm Street 4 - as well as Michelle Bauer, who is unrecognizable in Phelous's clips. Meanwhile, I can't lie: it's kind of cute that he doesn't have a clue who she is... She was only one of the major 80's direct-to-video scream queens. And she has a habit of popping up in DeCoteau's flicks. Like, still. Over 25 years after she first worked with him.


And, Lupa did yet another Baywatching. This time, with only maybe 1 closeup joke. Good.

[No-Personality]

Okay, what are the odds you guys? After just talking about David DeCoteau in my last post, guess what? Nostalgia Critic just reviewed a David DeCoteau film. Oh yes, it happened.

In crossover form. With Lupa:

Todd reviews "Pompeii" by Bastille.

[Nel_Annette]

"I don't know what this song's about."

The title, Todd. Look at the title. Anyway, I love the song, but I'm mixed on Bastille. I think the first three songs off of the debut album are 10/10s, but the rest of the album is kind of samey and boring.

[No-Personality]

Been watching Todd videos for the last hour now, trying to find ones I've never seen before ("Cruise (Remix)," "Moves Like Jagger," "5 o'Clock," "Black and Yellow," his hilarious episode on "If I Die Young," and his awesome video on "Suit & Tie vs Thrift Shop") and, of course, I dusted off "Pompeii" first. Anyway, really wanted to mention that his video on "Accidental Racist" was the worst thing I've seen from him. What a terrible idea, right from the start. Though I agree they both had one good point between them, there was no point for the argument or insinuation that either of them (Todd or RapCritic) as characters are racist themselves.

Anyway, I just HAVE to recommend some other videos.

If you haven't seen Brad's video on Caddyshack II, it's easily one of his best. His Endless Love review let me down. This made up for it. So much:

And, she's not on the site anymore but I don't care. Pushing Up Roses has adopted an essay review style which also, surprisingly, doesn't usually suit her. She doesn't make the same mistakes as Doug. She's just not good at analyzing things or any fun in Reporter format. However, she does work in this format when she has a good topic. And she recently picked a couple great ones.

It's pretty hilarious that she released this video the day after I watched Dee Snider and Frank Zappa in the PMRC congressional music censorship thing (and 2 whole episodes of Oprah with that twat, Tipper Gore, on as a guest), but this one is a short list on her top games victimized by worldwide censorship or banning:

This next one I have to put up a YouTube link to because Roses splits her output, some reviews go on YouTube and some go on Blip. But this was one of the most interesting and funny videos I've seen in awhile, her Top 6 Evil Chickens in Gaming:
