I haven't seen enough of his videos to tell if the segment at the start of this video about how Hollywood is 'taking down' his reviews because they see him as a 'threat' and how he actually increases sales by giving films greater exposure is all a satirical bit or a weird injoke or something he genuinely believes. If he really does believe that then :psyduck:

AVGN is actually the least autistic of the internet entertainment reviewers. i guess thats like ironic or something?

(im not counting Red Letter Media or Every Frame a Painting as "internet entertainment reviewers", because they both know how to produce and edit stuff professionally)

If I remember right, avgn went to film school and produced some commercials professionally before making it big with youtube videos.

Nostalgia Critic has no clue how to make movies and there's a hilarious account from a professional they hired for their first film about that, although it is really just evident by watching anything he produces.

It is from 4chan so it is probably bullshit yet if you see the movie, it all makes sense.

i dont know if I believe the 4chan thing but this is actually kind of interesting. if you have experience trying to make good things, that gives you a big leg up for reviewing professionally. if you lack that experience and think you can just buy a camera and start talking about poo poo, you're probably a pretentious sperg

Yeah I can't take it too seriously yet the results speak for themselves. The avgn film wasn't great but it was still leagues above kickassia and the other awful films that followed it. And it's because James Rolfe is a fan of films, made them as a kid, and studied them as an adult while Doug Walker is just some rear end that screeches at movies.

Over one hour and it doesn't seem to include the video where Nostalgia and channelawesome fight Avgn and screwattack.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCm6TRTkD2s

Do not watch those videos. I don't think James kept those videos on his main youtube account. From the looks of it, he shelved all that poo poo onto some secondary screwattack account (not even the main screwattack one).

I get that you're being insincere and yet 4chan has multiple long as hell jpegs devoted to Nostalgiacritic and tgwtg. I think Spoony and Linkara have their own "infodumps" (Linkara might even have a second one from where they found his fetish site account where he is a cockslut who worships big black dicks, an account he confirmed on twitter).

So like, be careful what you wish for.

Internet movie critics are for people who don't have friends to talk about movies with, just like how Rifftrax is for people who don't have friends to laugh at bad movies with and Let's Play is for people who don't have friends to play video games with.

I liked the one he did on the Tom & Jerry movie. The shtick can work well when it's making fun of something that's actually very bad, and not trying to stretch that into something else. I can see why all the other poo poo might suck eggs and also dicks though, especially a movie. I think I bailed on trying to enjoy the site after he played up Baby Geniuses 2 as being the apocalypse of all media and even recorded himself yelling at strangers at a convention because he knew the end times were here, because of Baby Geniuses 2.

The only bad movie thing I've ever been able to tolerate much less enjoy is We Hate Movies, because it's three guys who are actually funny just talking about a movie and having a good time and since it's a podcast you don't have to watch their ugly mugs or sit through terrible sketches and can listen to it while you do other things.

That and they're like the only bad movie people who don't just do kids movies and horror movies and tired poo poo like Troll 2 ot The Room, some of their best shows are about batshit Lifetime movies or lovely 90s indie movies or gonzo 60s political satires.
