I get some visual stutters at times, mostly when I've let my computer go to sleep mode earlier the same day. No problems otherwise, though.

There's also a new reviewer; Jesu Otaku, who does Anime reviews (DAMN, I wanted that spot!)

So THIS was that surprise she mentioned in her anniversary video! She's awesome.^_^

Was Flubber really such a bad movie?

I look forward to the Christoper Walken episode with a strange mixture of hope, fear, and elation. Doug might be the only person on Earth who doesn't love Walken.

Did anyone notice the natter that Unknown Troper 146.57.84.39 keeps putting into the article? Does it really have a point?

I liked Flubber back in the day... although some aspects of the romance (involving robots and whatnot) are a little creepy in retrospect.

About time Flubber was reviewed, I thought that movie was stupid when I was 6 years old.

Made for great slapstick.

Reviewing it doesn't necessarily mean he hates it, though he'll doubtlessly not hold back on the snark.

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Am I the only one who doesn't really like it so much when Doug starts gushing about shows he likes? To me it always tends to sound like he's kissing up to the creators, compared to his usual performance in full-on Caustic Critic mode.

Personally, I can't stand the concept of "kissing up". As in, the fact that it even crosses your mind. What would he gain from kissing up? He's hardly in a position to be promoted by them or some crap. I like his positive videos precisely because they show that he can really love stuff and isn't just some guy who rants about stuff that sucks.

I liked Flubber, too, by the way. And I had no idea that Murphy's Nutty Professor was considered a good or even decent movie... I kinda wanna see it now. The original, too.

He's doing the most awkward Christopher Walken moments? Un-fucking-believable.

You think he'll point out that weird hand motion Walken did in that one scene from Ripper?

Question: What AT 4 W episode has the Continuity Alarm going on the fritz?

I actually liked it too, but the review was absolutely hilarious enough to moot that. It probably helps that I have similar thoughts to him on the game, albeit far less extreme (Gameplay, graphics, and music were great, story was solid, if cliched now, Characters were...a mixed bag.)

^I am a filthy liar and actually watched the review. The review was okay, although I do vaguely remember them explaining the "holding your breath underwater" aspect of Blitzball.

It was in some outside information, I think. Didn't it have something to do with pyreflies or whatever those things were called?

He went on too long about the whole Blitzball thing. It's patently ridiculous, we get it.
