So Red Letter Media did a little mini Plinkett short for Into Darkness. But they're also putting up the next Plinkett review to a vote. That should be pretty drat interesting.

I'm so happy to see Freeman's Mind on That Guy With the Glasses. I've never played Half Life before, but I absolutely love the personality he's given Freeman. It's definitely worth checking out the rest of the series.

Rebochan posted:I skipped the video because I'm pretty sure it's just a rehash of things he's already said to death. Waiting for him to get back to stuff I care about. I'm impressed he's not going for the immediate choices like Zookeeper and Jack and Jill. I don't remember hearing about this movie in the first place. I'm sure he'll be doing some of the more well known Sandler disasters, but it was neat to see him choose something a little more obscure.

I think Mike J's Infomercialism is underrated. It's fascinating to watch these products put to use. Sometimes when I see them, I can't help but wonder how effective they might be, it's reassuring to know I've never wasted my money on stuff like this.

Zeether posted:Film Brain is subjecting himself to a bunch of lovely Adam Sandler/Happy Madison flicks and he just got to Jack & Jill. Poor guy even had to suffer through Going Overboard which is so bad even Sandler doesn't credit it on his official website. I actually liked his video. Red Letter Media took a step back from the film itself and looked at it more as a business expense or product; Film Brain dug into the nitty gritty of the movie itself. That shot he posted of the production crew having the football game on TV was really telling.

Maremidon posted:So has anyone actually watched either of Spoony's lengthy new Counter Monkey videos? I'm vaguely interested, but don't want to waste time on a video of him rambling about nothing while flipping through books again. The second one is a bit better than the first. There's a couple minutes of explanation, but most of it's pretty interesting. I skipped the first ten minutes of the first video and it was fine.

Thanks a lot, Spoony. I know half a dozen people who would love a dice tower. He talks about them in his newest Counter Monkey and damned if those things don't look cool as hell.

It's a shame so few of them still work, I wonder if there's an online recreation of it? Actually, most of my gamer friends were blown away by the dice towers when I showed them. And I agree with you on the Dark Tower game; that looks like a hell of a lot of fun.

Ghostpilot posted:I became a fan of Lupa's stuff from her Subspecies reviews and has been eagerly awaiting new content from her since she's gone to an irregular release schedule over the summer, but goodness, I could only make it through about five minutes of this. I see what you're saying. The movie looks absolutely awful, though. I think there were just too many cut aways; it seemed as if there was one every ten seconds; it made the review seem kind of choppy. And maybe I'm easy to amuse, but the cat scenes were freaking hilarious.

Haven't seen it mentioned on here, but Spoony has started to put up his stuff from his interview with Richard Garriott. There's a section where you get a brief tour of all the different iterations of the Ultima games and it's freaking amazing to see the technology he has to work with at the start. Garriott seems like a good sport, who knows what he's getting into. Angry Joe is there and there's a small Corporate Commander sketch, but it's actually pretty funny because Garriott is clearly trying not to crack up. The videos aren't too long and it's actually quite interesting, so I would recommend checking it out if you're at all interested.

nine-gear crow posted:The main thing that pisses a lot of people off about Sandler is that he's a very talented actor and comedian and the stuff he does like Eight Crazy Nights, ect. comes off as a conscious choice brimming with nothing but disdain for the audience in how utterly mean spirited the final product is. One of my big issues with his recent movies is that he constantly writes himself as a Mary Sue character. He's super rich, super successful, if he's married his wife is always gorgeous and if he's single, women are throwing themselves at him. The end result always feels lazy and pandering, like he's hitting only the most necessary beats to release the movie.

The interviews have been pretty good actually. Garriott does a lot of the talking and he actually gives a brief tour showing off the first forms of some of his games and it's amazing to see how the game-writing medium evolved.

I think it's the sheer love he has for the movie that makes the mocking even funnier. How many times can you watch someone get angry over bad special effects?

I'm sure the vast majority of his fans like it when he's pissed off and ranting; those videos get a higher hit count so he gets pissed off and rants more. Those people probably find positive reviews boring.

Solaris Knight posted:I wouldn't mind at all if Todd did more regular movie reviews. No shortage of bad musical adaptations and pop star vehicles, as demonstrated here. Plus it gives him more to talk about compared to a 3-4 minute song would. Yeah, agreed. If he did a movie month every year, that'd be cool and probably give him a break, allow some new pop to come on the scene.

Is anyone else following Mike J's Infomercialism? I think it's the funnest thing. I was legitimately curious about stuff like the EZ hair tie, but it's clearly not great. I like that he gives the stuff a fair review and doesn't hesitate to praise something if it works as advertised.

So Doug reviewed Big Hero 6 for Disneycember and he thought it was all right, if fairly simplistic. I think the simplicity worked for the movie in this case. It was definitely geared for a younger audience, so being able to predict the plot twists wasn't exactly rocket science. I grew to really like the characters and some of the little twists they had. He watched it and drew some comparisons to stuff like the Avengers, which I don't think is entirely fair. I do think this was made for a younger crowd the Avengers.
