How the person commissioning the episodes is able to meet his fees is another question. I just want him to look at another Gundam series. His War in the Pocket review was great.

I'd love to see what the gently caress he makes of Rebuild of Evangelion 3.33 after he got coaxed into the first 2 movies.

The Vosgian Beast posted:I hope Todd likes getting poo poo from angry Danes I'm danish and utterly tired of hearing this guys music... But the pot section made me cringe a little. Danes start really early with the drinking and smoking (most people I know started getting drunk in the weekends at like 12-14) and the dude grew up as a young child actor in Christania https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freetown_Christiania. I totally believe that he boozed and smoked it up at that age. But yeah grating vocals and eyeroll worthy lyrics. And Todd forgot to mention our most glorious internationally known band, the esteemed AQUA.

You know, I watched the video for Barbie Girl recently, and the bald guy in that group is weirdly hypnotizing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyhrYis509A I like how it manages to be the most European thing ever while being about an American cultural icon. Is AQUA a one-hit wonder over here in the States? Todd should do a video on them if so.

SkinCrawling posted:Todd posted his review of "7 Years I quite like the tune really. I mean agreed on a lot about the lyrics being bad and the front-man seeming douchey. Not a huge fan of his voice either though I don't necessarily find it bad to listen to like Todd apparently. But I like the actual music.

Yeah the lyrics are pretty loving dumb but it's kind of a nice lullaby if you only sort of hear the words and don't try to parse or analyze them. A Dose of Buckley did a bit on the song and he hated the gently caress out of it too.

His expressions of befuddlement are something to behold.

So SF Debris put up a review of the Don Bluth film Titan A.E. and I am reminded that Fox did a Disney style musical about the assassination of the Russian royal family and I am baffled at such an idea being considered, much less being as successful as it was.

MrSlam posted:From what I gather he's a Youtube guy that does 'the news' on Youtube drama. The impression I get is that he's gross and has HOT OPINIONs but the thing that set this all off was that he off-handedly unapologetically accused other youtubers of being pedophiles with little to no evidence. Since this is the horrible horrible internet, fans took his dumb remarks very seriously and flooded the accused profiles with vitriol and harrassment to the point that one of the youtubers (an old man) was reduced to tears and the other has to defend himself constantly. This is the kind of poo poo defamation suits are for. You can't really just pull the "It's just the internet, bro. You must be new here." card with that.

Why did you not see the film? It's not an accurate depiction of Russian history and aside from a sappy song about how the heroine misses her family (whoever they are, wink) its not dwelled upon at all. And this is the same company that made The Sound of Music, a disnyesque live action musical about a family fleeing the Nazi's.

It just feels like a bizarre choice of historical trivia to draw upon, with the excuse that it lets them use Rasputin as a literal wizard. At least The Sound of Music has the justification of being (very loosely) based on a real guy who actually did flee the Nazis. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 22:41 on Jun 22, 2016 |

CelticPredator posted:A good video on Keem Keemstar is notorious amongst Halo players because of his abuse of the Betrayal (teamkilling gives the victim the option to boot the offender, greifers intentionally cause the vice versa) mechanic. He did it to the point bungie had to change how Betrayal worked so the greifer has to do multiple tks to trigger the option in Reach.  His current channel(s) is due to a Youtube loophole that lets him run his channel as a company despite his previous channels got permabanned for harrasment.

This happened around the same time the myths about Rasputin being some kind of anti Tzarist(probably the most incorrect part of the whole thing) devil worshipping wizard became common too.

I don't know if this belongs more in the schadenfreude thread, but since it's about an internet critic and he was ranting about it during tonight's stream: If you're RLM's Rich Evans and you get a notice from your apartment that says "Hey, in two months we're going to be doing work around the building, so you can't park where you normally do at that time", what do you do? 1) Save the paper on a pinboard or wherever you save important papers 2) Write the date on your phone's calendar app or similar, with an optional day-before notification 3) Forget the date completely, have car towed, have to spend money to get car back, actually say on a stream that it's a good thing he didn't have an AR-15 at the time (even in jest) If you're the actual Rich Evans, you pick #3. I mean, it would've been nice had they given him warning, but they did, months earlier.

Max Wilco posted:This iDubbbz guy seems kind of interesting. Is his Content Cop series him just covering bad Youtube channels and trends? iDubbbz is fun. I don't know what it is but even as horrible and retarded as he acts most of the time is extremely entertaining all around. oldman posted:Dealing with impound lots usually brings out the murderer in all of us. I can appreciate that and Noah Caldwell-Gervais had a really good story about dealing with the impound lot in his rear end in a top hat simulator video and just wanting to loving kill the person behind the counter but mentioning you want an AR-15 rather soon after Orlando can come off as more than a bit tactless. I'm not exactly offended or anything but say you wanted an AK or something besides an AR-15 since right now that's kind of -the- hot button gun and I can understand why it might have put some people off pretty badly. (or maybe I'm just talking out my rear end and in the case, feel free to disregard  )And fucks sake, it's Milwaukee. We have two seasons here. Winter and Road Construction. Even if he didn't have an advance warning of two months you gotta always be expecting it to happen so long as snow ain't on the ground.

But I he seems to be a really good sport about it all. And he made these.  Fun fact! The caricature on the "Rene Dip" chips and dip were drawn by a member of The Pussy Cats mother!  Infamous Sphere posted:I'm really not fond of the song, but it's got me thinking about Danish music. How successful are Mew in Denmark? I've been listening to them for a while - but I guess Todd isn't aware of them. Mew are one of my favorite bands! They are pretty big here but their last album didn't do as great as their other stuff. But I do think that there is a big difference between which bands make it in the US and the bands that are well known in Europe? I go to a popquiz on mondays and sometimes a US top 100 question will pop up. We're always a bit surprised by what ends up in the top. Todd should totally do a OHW on AQUA. Those guys were huuuuuge.

When your car gets towed your first thought is always "This is so unfair" no matter how many signs were posted warning you it was a tow-zone. Even after I paid the $300+ fee all I could think of was that this was somehow society's fault. "But MrSlam, the parking lot sign said, Towed At Owners Expen-" "No, no...this is the work of the Machine like Pink Floyd warned us about..."

Here those town hall meetings are carefully screened and more than likely the establishment media write (or rewrite) the questions to give to people. You should also write your anti-regulation politicians and tell them they can do pretty well in the US. Both of our parties hate regulations and whatever horrible views they hold they'll probably still be more left and progressive than our Right and Left parties!

You mean the UK, and that was actually a special episode of Question Time BBC program, so it has to go out of its way to seem impartial otherwise it means the ruling party has a monopoly on the media. (Even though they usually dominate the media anyway). I've been to several local meetings organised by several political parties and constituency meetings and they're all controlled and dull affairs managed to give the MP or minister a positive image.

Allison put up a new Movie Nights on Patreon. Solarbabies! Really solid review. What do you name your post apocalyptic gang of hardened street-tough orphans? Babies! Solarbabies! drat it, this movie bugged me when I was a kid. I thought the name was stupid because when you're growing up and coming of age the last thing you want to be called is a baby. I remember the characters not being interesting, and the dough-eyed cutesy kid annoyed me. I feel like there's a trope he personifies but I can't put my finger on it. He's that schmaltzy little kid in Hook who pushes on Robin Williams face and says, "There you are Peter." He's the little kid that Don Bluth's been writing into his movies, the one that shouts Chanticleer. He's Tiny Tim with a bucktooth grin and all the world's smiles in his pocket. Anyway, I remember wanting this movie to be cool because I was a sucker for post-apocalypse and when I first watched this I was too young to appreciate the plot of Thunderdome, so I was hoping for a movie that a dumb little kid like me could grasp. I briefly remember thinking "What was the point" at the ending, which may have been one of the first times I realized a movie could be badly written. edit: Also, I think the movie suffers from World-Building disease. That's where when you tell a story and all you do is show the cool world you made instead of tell the drat story. I still suffer from it myself in everything I write.

Mr.Radar posted:Ralph has a new video on lovely "paranormal investigator" shows. Watch it now before it gets a copyright takedown! I just saw it. I can't believe there's a paranormal episode of Mystery Diners  I have family members and a couple friends who buy into this stuff and that's fine, it's not hurting anyone, but the whole premise is off-putting to me. I believe in weird creepy stuff happening to people sometimes and urban legends can be entertaining, but ghost-hunting shows are trying to commercialize off people's need to believe. The entire definition of Supernatural means there's not going to be quantifiable evidence for it; so pretending your beepy electro-meter is picking up a coldspot while an intern stubs his toe downstairs is a few steps away from the scuzziness of cold-reading and televangelists.
