The Official Unofficial That Guy with the Glasses Thread.

I wasn't referring to him in particular. Admittedly, that does make my post kind of off topic. Oh well.

I watched it already.

Ok, I was watching the Critic's old review of A Troll In Central Park, where the Freeze Frame Gag says among other things that the Oompa Loompas could beat him up. Well, after watching this week's live WTFIWWY...

At first I thought the Bayonetta 2 announcement was mostly there because Joe himself disliked it, but looking back on it the backlash was really intense when it was announced, so I understand it being on there. I'm more worried about getting Bayonetta 2 to run at a smooth 60 FPS in the Wii-U when the menus don't even flow right.

How is Magfest going for the crew? Or do they not update much at that place?

Andre got a partnership with Youtube and Screwattack so I don't see him jumping over, at least not anytime soon.

Awwww...

So, I've been watching The Bunny Perspective and Folding Ideas, having found both on Chez Apocalypse. I like Folding Ideas approach, but Phil Buni is a bit...scatterbrained? Not a lot of structure to his stuff, which can be kinda irritating.

I really only watch Buni when he's reviewing something I'm interested in or know something about. I don't mind his style too much, but it can be jarring if you're used to ordered, structured reviews.

Lindsay, Darren, Todd, and Bob Chipman are hanging together.

There was an idea: to bring together a group of remarkable critics, so when we needed them, they could watch the movies that we never could.

Noah is drunkenly muttering to himself on twitter. Total coincidence, I'm sure.

Lindsay, Darren, Todd, Bob Chipman, Nash, Welshy, Kyle, Matthew...

I always thought Moviebob is kinda like one of those guys who just does his own thing on the internet, so this comes slightly as a surprise, but at the same time not really.

He's friends with Lindsay on Twitter.

That's pretty cool.

What's the name of the classical piece that plays at the opening of Bum Reviews?

Luigi Boccherini: Minuetto

Gracias.

Blue Patches! That was dark and sweet and epic, and I'm so glad I researched A Patch of Blue and the lead actress beforehand.

And Rachel tells me the Walkers wanted it like a TV show, so break I'm guessing and then a new season.

WOW that was online early!

... is that latest episode supposed to be commentary on something? On Doug's relation to Nostalgia Critic? On child actors?

It seems like nowadays, everything Doug produces with a narrative has to be a commentary on something. I notice this became a pattern right after the last Nostalgia Critic episode. Maybe it's Rob's writing? I dunno.

This seemed to wrap up the first "story arc" of the show and time will tell if the Walkers plan to continue grouping these episodes into long-running narratives too. It answered many questions from the past episodes but left a few unanswered, such as, did Donnie see the sequel to "Blue Patches", and what did he think of it? What does this mean for Rebecca's own stance on Hollywood? Tacoma's back-story is still just lying there and maybe it will resurface in the future.

Think Mara Wilson. Her mother died while she was filming Matilda, and Doug felt really guilty for some of the stuff he said to her as the Critic for her performances.

is...is this a Misery send up? Holy crap on a stick

Well, that inspiration is certainly covered up in Demo Reel!

Not sure about Misery, as the family doesn't try anything malicious on Donnie, and no lines are ever taken or even paraphrased from the movie. The Christmas movie they watch, however, is a clear parody of Jingle All The Way.

Obsessive fans keeping him there via medication?
