How do people think of Mr. Enter? He seems to be quite well, easy to anger but he seems to have his heart in the right place.

I also like his admirable animations to highlight shows that I forgotten long ago. Speaking of which he just did an episode on we bare bears. I admit this one seems a little weak, as he could've pointed out that this show captures the slice of life feel in alot of anime.

Personally, I feel he's just another angry reviewer on Youtube. At least he doesn't waste his time trying to make jokes he doesn't have the ability to land.

It's also obvious that he has an axe to grind on certain shows (Spongebob, Teen Titans Go), and that means you're often going to hear about how much he hates them.

In other news, Some Jerk With A Camera just finished his review of Escape from Tomorrow a few days ago. (Parts 1, 2, and 3). I haven't watched much of his stuff, but I'm curious as how he records all his footage. Unless I misunderstood what he said, it can't be cheap to travel between (or even around) California & Florida to record footage at the Disney theme parks. Even if you could, it seems like it would still be difficult to do, as I would think the park staff would monitor people to keep them from doing that.

I know he lives near one of them and my guess is he films everything needed from the other in 1-2 trips a year.

Disney probably gets documentary people a lot. He's probably fine as long as he's not recording the entirety of rides/shows.

A year or two ago, there was an indie horror film called Escape from Tomorrow that was filmed mostly at Disneyland without permission. It's not a great film, but it was pretty ballsy, and worth seeing just for that, if you can find a copy.

The cast and crew had to pretend to be tourists in between takes in order to dodge park security.

Mr. Enter is really really strange. I'm 90% certain that he literally doesn't understand the concept of sarcasm since he acts baffled and really angry at super obvious jokes in kid's cartoons. Like he'll get super angry and yell about people acting out of character or being strange/mean when it's incredibly obvious it's just a joke.

I remember seeing that once in a rep cinema a couple of years ago.

The trailer was a bit off-putting, I was expecting a Disney park going haywire and all the rides and mascots were killing tourists like it was a cheesy disaster B-movie, instead what I saw turned out to be the opposite and it came off as a bit average.

Mr Enter is the kinda guy who sees a joke on a child's cartoon show and angrily goes "WHAT THE gently caress ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY" and I really hope worked on or knows someone who worked on the old teen titans cartoon because boy oh boy is it 2015 and he's still legitimately angry that that show got shitcanned and replaced with a different more jokey show.

He's basically a video version of those '5 SHOCKINGLY DARK EPISODES OF A CHILD'S SHOW' where they say 'and in this Spongebob cartoon Squidward is being sad and there's a fakeout joke about him putting his head in the oven to clean it...WOW...ON A KID'S SHOW? hosed UP AND DARK IMO' but then also praises poo poo like Tom and Jerry where multiple times Tom has done stuff like put an actual gun in his mouth as a joke and all.

I just finished the last part of the Escape from Tomorrow review, and I absolutely loved it. Just how far that film goes to basically have no point is astonishing. I also really liked Some Jerk's comment on post modernism and making films anywhere you want, because it really is true. With a small handheld camcorder it's possible to get things that even big budget can't always get. Also that last shot was absolutely amazing and I wonder if he had to do multiple takes, cause getting a long pan like that without any bystanders looking into the camera must have been a pain to get.

Yeah more and more I've been drifting towards stuff that discusses how and when things are done properly rather than trashing on stuff that isn't good. I'm completely over the angry reviewer gimmick, that's for sure. The critics I've been watching most lately have been Renegade Cut, Every Frame A Painting, Game Maker's Toolkit , Brows Held High, and Turbo Button. They tend to be a lot more constructive and talk more about the subtle details of form and design that help to make quality games and movies but could go unnoticed by the untrained eye. It's a lot more helpful for people who are genuinely interested in the art form than "this is dumb and stupid because xx and yy". They still talk about bad stuff, but in a way that feels more like it highlights how things can be done better.

I also think that Yahtzee's best videos and articles are the ones where he likes the game he's talking about, although I might be in the minority on that.

You mean the guy that made a video about how he was OK with Michael Jackson molesting children if that's what it took to create Thriller, right? Because that's Bunny Perspective and MAN that video was bad. Like the image of that stupid little bunny puppet nodding along like everything he was saying about Hitler was just so OBVIOUSLY correct is burned into my brain.

I never enjoy hating on critics like these, but I've watched most of Turbo Button's videos, and it's really very shallow if you already know thing one about video game design. The only one I learned anything from was the one on animations in action games, that one was decent, but only because it was shallow information about a subject I don't have much practical knowledge of. Honestly, if you've even payed attention to any time goons shoot the poo poo about video games, you've heard nearly everything he has to say.

EDIT: And even in the animation video, he claims that Arkham Asylum's combat is bad because the attacks animations "aren't telegraphed enough", because I guess he just never noticed that the attacks are very conspicuously telegraphed by enemies who were previously standing in place suddenly running up to Batman, because Arkham combat isn't about watching one dude for when he's gonna hit, it's about watching the whole crowd to assess where the next attack is coming from. Basically he tried to play Arkham Asylum like it was God Hand and was consequently not very good at it.

Turbo Button is your one buddy who kinda knows poo poo about video games, but not as much as he thinks he does.

I've said it before, but the only decent thing about the Bunny Perspective was its theme song, which wasn't even done by the guy behind Phil Bunny anyway.

It was oddly prophetic though, because it's about a guy who alienates all his friends because he's a totally loving weirdo who never grew out of being a dumbshit teenager.

I remember that Mr.Enter got brought up in the thread about the year ago. I watched a few of his videos, and I just find his critiques to be sort of bizzare. Like in one video, he reviews of an episode of Spongebob, and he makes a couple of interesting points about how the episode might work better if structured differently. But then he turns around and complains about how it's not in 'continuity' with other episodes, or that 'a big 'NO' shout should be timed before something terrible happens'.

Here's something I've been meaning to ask: Whatever happened to Luke Mochrie? I remember he was on TGWTG for a brief time, then he just up and disappeared.

Halfway finished through part 3 and even though I only saw the film once, I don't know how dull and pointless the whole story was now that I got a second look. While the analysis of the film is okay, I hate that the reviewer's using the same NC technique of exaggerating over sections in a movie, also the guest cameos are just ugh, I like where he's coming from about the film but he really didn't need to cram all those jokes in.

Also I pity the guy who played the bellhop near the end, he seemed like a good actor and he showed it too in the speech about the ending and the making of the film, in fact I pity most of the cast...they were just lead by a director who didn't really know how to shoot or plan out a film properly.
