Talking about engagements, why hasn't there been a reviewer that talks about lovely reality shows like the one with the brides trying to win plastic surgery?

Kimble Justice does a review of the Street Fighter movie that isn't just in the Nostalgia Critic style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ufTcDqAihY I really appreciate how eclectic Kimble is with the what is reviewed. It's always interesting to see what pops up next.

Frankly when Doc Hawkins and Sam Harris can blatantly pull out stuff like intent over results regarding bombing civilians, I can expect anything. Plus I might as well put up my "no true Atheist" spiel here. All of them tend to be exfundies. They hardly ever change. They always act the same; close minded, selfish and short sighted. Only difference is that they changed their beliefs in exchange for keeping their right wing views, a superficial change of view at best. And this one is petty, but gently caress you YouTube for trying to rec me Thunderfoot's video where he gloats over ruining the Laughing Witch and her husband's life with his hate mob.

It's not really odd at all. If someone is devoting a huge amount of time to atheism, but don't have a more specific word for their beliefs than just "atheism" probably just getting off on telling people Santa isn't real. It's very similar to Christians who claim to not be a part of denomination. "Just Christian" is generally code for fundy; similarly unspecified but passionate atheist is generally code for white kid who is mad at his dad.

ApeHawk posted:People often don't like to go for low-hanging fruit. Frank Miller and Michael Bay are also easy targets and low hanging fruit. Doesn't mean they aren't worth picking. Honestly if someone wants to go after reality TV they should compare Kitchen Nightmares US vs UK. The US version really is dogshit and it clearly plays up the drama with crap like messing with the color situation and orchestral stings, not to mention how staged it is compared to the UK show being much more genuine in every single way.

Kitchen Nightmares US actually rules really hard and if it's staged do you honestly think the show wouldn't be sued into oblivion? You really think a dude is gonna be cool with somebody faking how awful his place is and planting dead rats and poo poo? The show was sued once as I recall and they lost.

I genuinely love Kitchen Nightmares US for how bat poo poo nuts it is. I'm just mostly comparing it to the UK show where he isn't up to 11 in every single scene with editing to make it more dramatic. I mean I'm not saying they stage it all but some of the reactions and whatnot I can't see as genuine.

Both Kitchen Nightmares shows are awesome in their own ways. UK is a very interesting in depth look at restaurant management and the foibles that people with little knowledge get into. It's much more calm and the mistakes and usually more understandable issues with running the place. US is bonkers and deals with literally insane people who have no clue what running a restaurant entails at all. Yes there is more family drama and dumb gimmicks but the sheer insanity of places like Amy's Baking Company or the horrendous Mexican restaurant with buckets of ancient refried beans is worth any of the bad stuff. Gordon Ramsay is a hero.

Another problem with reviewing reality TV is how ungodly depressing most shows are when you stop to think about them. I can't imagine how uncomfortable it would be to have to actually watch those creepy TLC shows that got canned because, shock of all shocks, there was rampant sexual abuse going on behind the scenes.

Dude ESPECIALLY the coupon weirdos. You ever see the look of shame and sadness in a kid's face when their mom drags them to the store to help carry two shopping carts worth of mouthwash because their mad coup strat means the store actually owes HER fifty cents if she buys enough and makes sure no one else gets any so she can shove them in her lovely dragon hoard? Couponers are this weird cross between hoarders and extreme thrift
