The Nostalgia Critic Thread Lives Again!

Once again, I have to plug myself. Only because I did a review of a Henson movie. Everybody's favorite movie Buddy. Just be warned there's some audio issues and some sloppy editing but enjoy!

So THAT'S why a friend of mine suddenly axed his "Nostalgia Teen" YT channel, you were already the Nostalgia Teen, lol.

There has been a preview online for the upcoming third anniversary special, which will be titled "Suburban Knights". I can't wait!

, I can't resist sharing this, it made me laugh...

So a friend of mine recently got to meet Doug Walker at, of all things, an anime convention, where he attended, I guess since it was in Milwaukie, which is pretty close to Chicago anyway... she said he's pretty much as big a donkey in person as he is as TGWTG/NC/Bum/etc.

Really? He seems like such a nice and funny guy in convention videos and interviews and out-of-character videos. Oh well, at least I know if I ever meet him I know what to expect.

He might very well be a nice guy. You would have to judge for yourself. Same with anyone you want to meet.

I'm willing to bet that he may actually be a rather nice guy when he's being himself (and I mean his REAL self), but that he puts on a "front" in public, because let's face it, he's a lot like those character comics like Pee-wee Herman, Larry the Cable Guy, etc, who assume these personas and pretty much use them, even in public appearances (there's a couple of funny clips on YouTube where Paul Reubens appeared on Letterman as Pee-wee), and we know what a donkey TGWTG can be, but that's the kind of character he chose to be.

I mean again, that's jsut my assumption, that he probably puts on an act for the public, but is probably a nice guy when he's himself.

Of course then again, I have no idea what my friend's idea of nice is... I mean, she's from the north, and she thinks just about everybody up there are a bunch of jerks... she's visited down south here before, and thinks that southerners are much friendlier and mannerly than northerns... but I have no idea who she's talking about, I don't see very many friendly people down here, unless they're old folks who are stuck in 50s values (like my parents, lol). So... I don't know, if she thinks southerners are "friendly", I'd hate to see what northerners are like... but Canadians are pretty darn friendly, that's for sure, lol.

But okay, aside from that... I STILL wanna see Nostalgia Critic review Pee-wee's Big Adventure, I would just love to see him rip that movie to shreds! That and The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking top my list of movies I'd like him toreview.

I want him to review "Project Geeker." I saw it on Hulu and it was just painful.

I still stand by what i said before, I love TGWTG, and i've been getting into some other reviewers at the site as well (one of them actually reviewed the muppet movie, for it's music, but still, and it was a POSTIVE review )
If he does another "Raiders of the Story Arch" though I think he should do it on another TDA series like Rescue Rangers or Darkwing Duck.

You're so thoughtful.

I know.

Hmm, I'm hearing more people saying that Doug's a donkey IRL like he is in his vids, but I still can't help but wonde if he's intentionally trying to stay in character whenever he does public appearances?

You can't go by other people. You weren't there and you're not in their heads.

Nostalgia Critic reviewed Doug's 1st Movie today. Now I agree that the movie was bad. But it wasn't fun seeing the entire series get bashed so much on the review. The original version of Doug on Nickelodeon was brilliant. That movie version came from when the series went to Disney and got ruined. But the review today made it seem like the entire series had always been bad.

Don't get me wrong, I love Nostalgia Critic and everyone has the right to their opinion. It was just hard to watch this time because Doug was such a big part of my childhood (again, the Nickelodeon version, hehe).

Admittedly, I did trick myself into liking Disney's Doug as a kid and went to go see this nonsense in theaters even if I don't remember the actual movie, I just remember there was a Donald Duck cartoon before the movie... but yeah, bear in mind Doug has a long history with being tortured thanks to that cartoon, so I'm used to his hatred of the thing.

Actually, I remember one summer at a local park around here, they showed Doug's 1st Movie outdoors and about halfway through the movie, it got really windy and the screen kept falling over as if to say that the gods didn't want us watching that stupid movie so he kept trying to make us put a stop to it.

I;ll have to check that out for myself... personally, I kind of liked Doug's 1st Movie, and I too prefer the original Nick version over the Disney version of the show, so yeah, I'll have to take a look.

But actually heralde, it seems like a few people have been saying his reviews are really declining in quality recently... I've noticed that his real life brother has been getting more involved in the reviews as well, and I got to say, I know neither of them are professional actors or anything, but it seems like Rob emphasizes that moreso than Doug (Walker, not Funnie)... like have you guys seen the review of Stephen King's It? When Rob finds Doug had commited suicide, and left behind a note in his own blood reading "BALLOONS"? It's lke he went back and forth between TRYING to cry on cue and TRYING to actually laugh or something.

Speaking of which, Doug has seriously got an alcohol problem, but it's too funny! How many reviews has he snuck a bottle of Jack Daniels in for one reason or another? Like when he's drunk John Hughes, or when he does his Stephen King drinking game, or when he has to do a spit-take with his traditional three-pound watermelon and pitcher of sangria? XD

Oh yeah I mean I knew that and I totally understand how that can be, lol. But as soon as I realized he was actually going to review something Doug related I knew I was going to have difficulty watching it, lol.

Oh I'm not saying that. There's always people who say that with every review, heh, but I personally don't think he's declining at all. It's just that people like some reviews and not others.

Well they were trying to make fun of the way the wife had cried in the movie, lol.

OK I just wanted to be fair and say this week I did enjoy Nostalgia Critic's review. I think "Ask me what it means! Ask me what it means!" has become my new favorite quote, lol.
