Jsor posted:Eh, I mostly wanted to keep CA drama off the first page or so. Talking about CA stuff should be okay now that we're settled in, as long as we only talk about people who volunteer info like you and don't do creepy internet detective work. Blip gives you a general area to put midrolls on, but no matter where you pause it, it'll round it to the nearest second. So, that's why sentences get cut off sometimes. Although, if you skip to the ads and watch them, you can go back to the beginning and watch the rest of the video without the ad interrupting again. EDIT: And yes, I have been told CA was planning on starting a Patreon. I'm sure they'll make bank and become even lazier.

Ultragonk posted:Best show not on TV. Jaws quote as well, I love it. Lupa it maybe too far in the future but do you think you'll be giving Baywatch Nights the same treatment? What Mokinokaro said, but also I did a Manic Episodes a loooong time ago on a Baywatch Nights ep if you'd care to see it: http://blip.tv/OLPresents/me-baywatch-nights-the-eighth-seal-4990024 It's the ep where Mitch is possessed by a demon! Keep in mind I hadn't even seen Baywatch proper at that point, and the technical quality isn't the best. I'll go over the ep again in Baywatching when it comes to it, but that'll be a long time coming. Rebochan posted:So... two things... 1. I honestly don't remember where Eddie's living; he might've moved in with Shauni. It'd make sense since they're engaged now, but I suppose I'll remember whenever it comes to it. 2. So the whole thing with the "sea monster" victim staying at Mitch's house was all some convoluted thing where he asked her to stay to keep her from talking to that nosy reporter. Mitch wakes up in the middle of the night to her crying, and tries to comfort her next to the fireplace. He mentions when Hobie has trouble sleeping he rubs his back (???) and she asks him to rub her back. He does, and things turn sexy. Then he breaks it off and says it's gotta end there. 'Cause he's a nice guy. A nice, creepy guy. I had to cut out a lot since Nightmare Bay was a two-parter and it would've gone on forever.

BigRed0427 posted:I don't wanna be "That Guy" And tell you how to do your job, but this should have been in there. Ha ha, it probably should have been. I also cut out most of Shauni's subplot where she goes to a bad inner city neighborhood to get the kids she rescued into the swim program. In that case though it was mostly because it was boring.

echopapa posted:Is Movie Nights improvised? The style reminds me a lot of an episode of Best of the Worst (which is a good thing). It is and it isn't. I have notes written to follow the outline of the movie, but it's improvised off of that to give a more off the cuff feel. So far the response has been mostly positive, but it does throw some people off. OrangeKing posted:It's not...that one we were talking about at MAGFest, is it? I'm not sure which one we talked about at Mag, ha ha. The movie's Big and Hairy.

PassTheRemote posted:I like the more off the cuff feel, though I feel that more people in the video adds to the conversation as it allows for people to play off each other. It's the reason that I love Best of the Worst and Brad's midnight screenings. I don't know if you have plans for having guests in these videos like Phelous and Brad, but even if you don't want to do that, this new video is a plus. I'm eager to see where you go with the new format. Thanks so much. I shot Big and Hairy with Phelan, I definitely like shooting these with other folks. I think generally it'll be just me since I don't have people who can regularly shoot with me, but I definitely want to do more with other people.

dijon du jour posted:By the way Allison, have you heard of the Librarian trilogy? I just saw my copies of it and they strike me as something you'd like. They're a trilogy of campy made-for-TV movies that were more than a little inspired by Indiana Jones with a tiny bit of Warehouse 13 sprinkled in. They also partially star a magical Bob Newhart. I've watched some of the TV show; it's alright. OrangeKing posted:I just wanted to make sure it wasn't the DeCoteau one (1313: Bigfoot Island). If only because I don't think anyone could talk about it for more than five minutes or so. Ha ha, yeah not that one. We'd have nothing to say!

The second ep is up on Patreon and I think it's edited a bit tighter. Since I did the review with Phelan there's a bit more energy too, so hopefully the vids smooth out as they go.

I actually rented that back in the day and had almost completely forgotten about it and its made for TV goodness. Somehow I remembered that Mickey Dolenz was in it and not Bruce Campbell! I should really turn in my nerd card for that one. Thanks a lot! I'm enjoying doing these more than I've enjoyed making OLP in years. I appreciate the feedback about it.

Tracula posted:I dunno if it's cliche to say but Doug seems to simply not -get- things a lot of times. I know the Nostalgia Critic is played up for laughs but he does put a lot of himself into it. I don't know how he doesn't understand the main character being a pig in Porco Rosso or people wanting the dog to live in ID4. I'm sure those are the most obvious examples but there just seems to be a disconnect between Doug and what a lot of things everyone else understands or can just give a pass. The one that blew my mind was the Scooby Doo review, when he asked if all of the main characters were mad at each other because maybe they were angry in the original cartoon. And he'd just gone over the previous scene where they had a falling out. Like...that's called a story, Doug.

Pretty sure he's gone after season 2, he doesn't really do much of significance. I think maybe there's an episode about how he's old, which is his only contribution. There's one season, I forget which, where the airing order is way out of sync and one couple is randomly together or not together at any point in time. If I could look up the production order I'd be curious to know how it was supposed to air, but outside of who's dating there's no real "arcs" to indicate the real order.

Regarding the Mara Wilson thing, I believe Doug posted about one of her articles on FB and the fans attacked her from there. I don't think Doug did anything malicious, only his usual shtick in the reviews themselves. To be fair to him, fans tend to go overboard and attack real people if they see something a critic says in a review, which is why I've run into problems in the past. Even if you say not to attack anyone, it still happens. Just because you give a movie a negative review or even hate an actor in it doesn't mean you want people sending them e-mails telling them they suck. As for the "it's all a character" bit, I feel dumb for having said that once. I can at least say it wasn't to cover for saying something offensive and back peddling, it was mostly because my acting tends to be exaggerated from my usual personality. But it's true, Brad is about the only one who is actually doing a character. Doug's "it's a character" defense is exactly that, to deflect negative reactions to dumb things. That being said, he can't act or write without it being derivative of something else. Funny story actually. In that Shut Up and Talk I filmed in Chicago that will never be put online, Doug asked me where I got my "goofy voice" from in reviews. This was also a question he asked me before we even did the interview. He assumed I was imitating someone from South Park, a show I've seen maybe two episodes of. As I answered him before, I didn't "take" the voice from anything; I just naturally act "doofy." He asked me what the word "doofy" meant since he'd apparently never heard it before, and then proceeded to ask me again where I got the voice, but worded in a different way. He couldn't understand that I actually wasn't copying someone. Also in that Demo Reel Transformers DVD Exclusive That Isn't DVD Exclusive Anymore, he totally just quoted Blazing Saddles verbatim.

Mokinokaro posted:Diamanda Hagan has become far more frightening. Yes, she's a good example of a character, although her opinions in the reviews are hers. She's super intelligent and fun to talk to if you ever get the chance. And thanks about Movie Nights! I wish I could have a co-host all the time, but unfortunately it just has to be when people are available. All the Phelan ones were shot while he was visiting. The comment about Doug not being able to internet is also true. At least when Holly was there, his video commentaries were recorded by sitting close to his camera and recording it on there, because he did not know how to record at his computer. I can also confirm that he doesn't know how to use MP3 Skype Recorder and refuses to learn because he tried it once and it didn't work. True story, he asked me to sit in on the Moulin Rouge commentary and record them. Not to be in the commentary, just to be there and press record. Phelan called him up and went over how to use MP3 Skype recorder, step by step (download it, get in a skype call, and press record--that's literally it). And then he just had Nash do it. As far as I know, he still doesn't know how it works.

poparena posted:When it comes to pre-AVGN "classic" review stuff, my gold standard has always been Matt's writing on the ol' X-Entertainment. His stuff was (and still is, I guess) this pleasant mix of corny "kids joke book" humor, childlike enthusiasm and a supernatural ability to find obscure 80s toys, merchandise, video and even food (he was doing Brad Tries long for Brad, just in written form and usually with pictures of He-Man action figures). I still occasionally read his breakdowns of old Macy's Day Parades. His site was also THE place to find video of old 80s commercials pre-Youtube. Matt's an awesome guy as well, so throw my recommendation there too. In a similar vein, I've always enjoyed I-Mockery's movie reviews.
