The ones that have a "plot" to them bug me. Frankly, I really only watch the ones where the movie itself seems interesting/I've actually seen (Foodfight, Blues Brothers 2000).I can't get into the new episodes, I just can't. NOSTALGIA CRITIC has suffered from both Retool and Halfway Plot Switch.
Reviewing movies that have just recently been released (though apparently Doug's policy is he won't review a movie still in theaters)? Strike 1.
The sudden addition of Drop-In Characters, and a whole cast of them at that? Strike 2.
Changing the format from simply reviewing movies and such to trying to make the reviews more like sketch comedy...
You know what? I still have more on my list of grievences and already that's three strikes against the new NC episodes.
Oh, and please don't get me started on those episodes where the Critic does his reviews from the midsts of fan cons, those are the worst.
I'm actually in the same boat as you on that one.Frankly, I really only watch the ones where the movie itself seems interesting/I've actually seen (Foodfight, Blues Brothers 2000).
He's been working with Channel Awesome since his site launched, so he's not selling out or being absorbed by anyone.Looks like Doug Walker's site is no more; if you try going to That Guy With the Glasses, you're redirected to Channel Awesome's site... guess Doug either decided to sell out, or perhaps he got absorbed by Channel Awesome, or, whatever.
That said, there's something about Nostalgia Critic that looks different, but I can't quite put my finger on it... maybe it's just age or something, I don't know... Doug's gotta be well into his 30s by now.
While I do like that movie, I respect your opinion and agree that just having a n actor who died doesn't make a great movie. I'm not a Michael Jackson fan but that doesn't mean I wanted him deadI enjoy the Nostalgia Critic. Think it's lame how many people attacked him after Robin Williams unfortunate passing because of how many of his movies he reviewed. I'm sorry, but bad movies, like Patch Adams, are still bad movies.
And the thing is, he didn't even dislike Robin Williams. He praised him as being a talented comedian and actor, just that a good number of his movies aren't that great.While I do like that movie, I respect your opinion and agree that just having a n actor who died doesn't make a great movie.

Diamanda Hagan is a woman. Just thought I'd say that, since I don't think anyone else has.I know I said before I didn't really like him, but I enjoyed his last few reviews. I actually really liked his Heavy Metal review. That face he made when the "melt counter" went back down to 4 was priceless.
I also seriously can't tell if Diamanda Hagan is a dude or a chick. I'm leaning towards dude.
I guess, because I honestly find them distracting and unnecessary... kind of like how in its last few seasons on truTV, WORLD'S DUMBEST... kept adding more and more skits to the point that it went from being a celebrity commentary show to a half-commentary/half-sketch show.Maybe the added skits (which, come on, aren't usually very long) are an acquired taste
