Why did this review end up insulting Film Brain for no reason?

If Andy Kaufman reviewed movies...
Phelous is the kind of guy you root for because he's untalented, but he's untalented in a wry, non-threatening way. He reminds you of yourself.
If I had to rank the three worst reviewers to come out of TGWTG in its decline, it would have to be (in order): Blockbuster Buster, Film Brain, and Phelous. BB is the crowner — he has no business taking up your time. Film Brain and Phelous are similar in that their real strengths lie in video production; Brain is the scholar while Phelous is the visual effects man. Of the two, Phelous is open — even proud — of his lack of screen presence and negative charisma; he's a scale which goes so far past -0 that it becomes a 10. His schtick is anti comedy.
Which makes him the better man in my estimation. Film Brain is not a comedian, he is a hanger-on and without TGWTG he would be a nobody.
