I did a Bad Movie Night the other week with a bunch of my friends and we watched Thunder in Paradise and it was like a work of terrible art. If anyone's interested in watching some amazeballs bad made for TV 90's movies, definitely check out the Thunder in Paradise series and films. Yeah, I've reviewed the movies, I just hadn't listened to the podcast

Holy, does Baywatch season 3 open amazingly. Gold Prospecting! Sure, why the gently caress not, it's not like this show has any coherent theme anyway.

So uh... is the "Nostalgia" part of "Nostalgia Critic" a total artifact now? I've been sort of away from the game for a while (other than checking up on Cinema Snob every now and then) but I just had a NC review of Mad Max: Fury Road pop up in my youtube recs and it made me do a serious double-take. e: wait, Lupa's a goon? And not on TGWTG/Channel Awesome (just to give you an idea of how long I've ignored this scene, I legit didn't know they changed their URL) anymore? Huh. e2: hahahaha holy gently caress I'm looking back over this thread and how does anyone even put up with CA? WeedlordGoku69 fucked around with this message at 08:26 on Sep 30, 2015 |

Doubly so now-a-days since most of their remaining producers also have their own websites where they host their videos, or host their stuff on YouTube now, so you can literally bypass Channel Awesome's website entirely to access like 90% of their content. Channel Awesome has somehow managed to obtain a perfect equilibrium of being constantly in the process of falling apart, yet never actually fully disintegrating, thus creating a a perpetual feedback loop of drama, bullshit, panic, and hilarity. Or, as we know it around these parts: Tuesday.

Speaking of Games Workshop... has anybody ever reviewed that Ultramarines movie they made a couple years back? I remember it for two reasons. One: really good voice acting from Sean Pertwee, Terrence Stamp and John Hurt, and two: it looks loving horrendous in motion.

Hey, he did just review Thank You for Smoking, which I completely forgot is ten years old now. That's technically nostalgia. For the record, he believes it's one of the most shocking films ever made, and he's shocked you aren't shocked by it.

It's almost like the movie realizes that it doesn't need to tell its audience that smoking is bad and by applying the same rhetoric about the main character that he applies to smoking it adds a nice extra layer to itself.

Man, looking up Animorph's conclusion was one of the first things I did on the Internet. The series still holds up incredibly well I think, especially for a children's series, but man, does it have a bunch of duds.

MisterBibs posted:And Alien: Isolation. How anyone found that remotely tense or interesting is beyond me. Actually, they were wrong about Alien Isolation. And it's not that hard to figure out. You want to complete the mission to move on, but a thing is in your way. You want to avoid the thing so you finish the mission. There's your tension. Also, don't expect an action game based off a slow burning horror movie.

But I'm not going to watch that review because I'm sure it'll be an absolutely terrible take on it. I..think Doug needs his gimmick (by gimmick I mean "reviewing nostalgic movies", not "waving a gun and screaming".) He's not a balanced enough critic to not have one.

I was always kinda sad the Crayak story just kinda fizzled out after this one. Still enjoyed this book though. Still sore about the dumb cliffhanger ending to the final book after all these years though. I understand why she did it, but I still get annoyed by it, especially with the new antagonist she introduced right at the end being so drat interesting based off what little we saw of it. Out of curiosity will you also be covering her other series like Remnants or Everworld?

I'll express this in greater detail in the actual video, but the best point to end the series would have been Jake crying on the beach with Marco and Cassie.

Agreed. At least we didn't have to deal with Cassie for most of the book and they even leave her behind for the big space adventure. Seriously the peak of her character was in the David arc and maybe in the book where she convinces the Animorphs to use kids with disabilities in their army, because they actually have her compromise her morals out of necessity to deal with growing problems and I liked how Rachel grew to resent her for never taking responsibility in making those decisions, like trapping David as a rat and forcing Rachel to be responsible for it. Every other book, it's painted as a good thing that she never compromises her morals, making everything infinitely more difficult for everyone else and making them suffer internally because they're required to do what she won't. Even giving the morphing cube to the Yeerks eventually got painted as a good decision, because she somehow knew everything would work out all along so therefore all is forgiven.

Animorphs was the series I'd always look at on the shelf at the bookshop and think about when I was younger, before I shrugged and picked up the Star Wars equivalent (the Jedi Apprentice series, mostly by Jude Watson and Dave Wolverton, which were better than they needed to be).

Is Everworld the one where they end up in a world with all the old gods? Also, unfortunately, Cassie is a very typical case for American media when it comes to pacifist, or even just environmentalist characters. A lot of people don't really understand the philosophies behind it and so the character almost always end up as some kind of judgmental hypocrite. As if they feel they needed someone to represent that specific group, but than didn't make the effort to actually do any research to make a compelling character out of it. e X fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Sep 30, 2015 |

Everworld had the biggest cop out ending ever. It's like if Star Wars ended with Jabba dying, and everyone just acts like Han Solo being free from worrying about bounty hunters was the central goal of the story.
