That Guy With the Glasses/Cinemassacre Thread

He's also the first person in the late 20's to early 30's are range I've seen bad mouth "Little Monsters".

I also like the Nostalgia Critic, though his most recent review (Son of the Mask) brought back some memories that I really didn't want to uncover ever again. That movie is horrifying! I can't believe I actually managed to sit through all of it the sole time I decided to give it a try.

When I was a kid and the trailers came on, I looked away or closed my eyes. Who thought that scaring small children in a kids film was a good idea?

A lot of the time, Doug doesn't seem to know what he's even talking about. That's when his reviews fall flat (the original NC years at least). Also, you can tell he doesn't really keep up with current memes (Chuck Norris gags about 4 years too late, etc) and comes off as kind of a try-hard. And yeah, his screaming is completely unfunny. But I give him credit for trying something new with his latest installments and they really have improved.

Hunter - I think the best NC's are the very earliest ones. His Pokemon movie review is really funny.

The earlier reviews are funnier because that's when he was more of a critic and less of a plot summarizer.

Though I will also say he's gotten better after his hiatus.

My top five (in something of a particular order):

1.) Lindsay
2.) Brad Jones
3.) Todd
4.) Doug (just Doug, no particular character)
5.) Paw

Personally, my favorite NC episodes are the Scooby-Doo review, the crossover with JesuOtaku, and the Thomas and the Magic Railroad review.

I really liked Ponyo and never fail to laugh at the "HAAAAAAMMMM" joke.

What do people here think of Todd? I haven't seen a review by him yet but in his crossovers with Lindsay he seems pretty funny.

Todd's pretty funny. I don't think he's as funny as some other guys, but he's pretty good.

 

[darkhorse816]

For me, my favorites are the Surf Ninjas one, Cop and a Half, Garbage Pail Kids, and The Double Dare one, because he gave it such a positive review, and it was an awesome show, and Marc Summers is possibly one of the coolest people ever!

Oh, I liked the Thomas the Tank Engine one as well. FUCK YEAH, SPARKLE SPARKLE!

He's not one of the people I really seek out, but I enjoy him when I do watch him because he gives good insight into pop music. I like his show for one hit wonders.

He's definitely of the more analytical fold, but he is funny, snark and otherwise.

Also, his rage is a lot more funny/terrifying/real than Doug's.

I don't like the whole reviewers schitck as a whole, to me, all of those guys saw the AVGN and thought it was funny to do the same thing, be inexplicable angry at a game/movie/show, scream and swear like a 10 year old whose home alone and slice some clips of 80s/90s movies/shows and put them somewhere in the videos to prove a point, I guess. If you like them, good for you, I just don't see what the appeal is.

I watch the Cinema Snob, being a sophisticated man who requires sophisticated film reviewers, but I used to watch a lot of NC. My favourite one was probably the Tom and Jerry the Movie review, or maybe Howard the Duck. I got fed up of him and only watched him out of habit until he quit, and I haven't started watching him again.
AVGN is another guy who's way past his prime, but I still watch his videos, again mostly out of habit. James can't act, and the way he thinks BULGING EYES and AWKWARD EYEBROWS = hilarity. Although it's a bit better than gormlessly staring at the screen than in some of his older stuff. The older stuff was still much better, even though I don't think AVGN was ever funny, and was mostly entertaining in an informative way. Dude knows a lot about films and videogames.

My thoughts exactly. I guess I have a strange Chris-like sense of loyalty to him. His movie review stuff is usually pretty cool.

I actually like his movie reviews/generally serious reviews, his top 10s and other stuff like that (including his auto-biographical videos) a lot more than the actual AVGN reviews. The guy seems really genuine and knows a lot about his subject matter. It's genuinely interesting to me to see his real opinions on stuff.

I like Cinema Snob's voice. Very sexy.

I'm afraid that this is going to be the extent of his acting in the film.

After watching a bunch of AVGN videos I legitimately prefer the ones without any special effects or "comedic relief".

 

[DrChristianTroy]

And I also don't like it when people credit him with making The Room popular.

WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA. People seriously say this?
