Haha! Nella's smartcar XD

I had the same thoughts as him about Timothy Green. If you want a kid so bad when you're sterile (or whatever their problem was) GO TO A BLEEDIN' ORPHANAGE!. And their expectations were disgusting! Those two things were picked up from the commercials alone, and those things alone killed my interest in seeing the movie.

I loved it, too! Granted, I will miss Demo Reel, but hey, it wasn't doing well, so there's nothing to be done about it.

So am I the only one who was teary eyed by the end?

Geez, I still am. Welcome back NC!

It's nice to know there's at least one message board that's taking this maturely: you guy. Right now, everywhere else, there's a huge flame war going between people happy about this and people who are claiming that Doug's "sold out" without realizing that his livelihood is on the line.

Did I mention that Phelous, Lupa, JesuOtaku, SadPanda, and some of the other contributors have turned against Doug Walker now? Yeah, they have. They're angry that he brought the Critic back after they played a role in sending him off. Well, at least Doug knows who his friends are now.

Yeah... That was just a nightmare.

Personally I am quite glad to see the Nostalgia Critic back. I got to admit that I didn't watch most of the movies he reviewed but even if one hadn't seen them the reviews were still funny to watch while with Demo Reel, in spite of the amount of spirit undoubtedly put into it, I always had the impression that I didn't get most of the jokes.
I do hope that Doug Walker himself is happy with the decision and that there won't be any long term feud between Phelous, Lupa, JesuOtaku, SadPanda and the others with him; that would be a real shame :(

I doubt there'll be a long term feud. However, I can kind of understand where they're coming from. They've been told since 2011 that "To Boldly Flee" would be the swan song of The Critic, and then not long after they spent two weeks busting their chops with no pay filming the damn thing, does "Demo Reel" fall under and The Critic gets revived.

They'll get over it, Lindsey/Nostalgia Chick assured everyone that they all love Doug. She's actually relieved he's back, because according to her, business has been down by a whole 2/3 ever since Doug retired The Critic.

Likely the best compromise.  He does the critic, does some ideas he's had since he put the character away, just not as often as before.  Traffic on the site goes up and he still has time to do other stuff.  

Similar to I guess Edgar Rice Burroughs, who instead of trying to kill off Tarzan like Sir Conan Doyle did with Sherlock Holmes, did continue to write Tarzan books, but he did other books also.

It's been announced that Malcon and Rebecca (the actor and actress introduced in Demo Reel) will be a part of the revamped Nostalgia Critic series.

Well, it's good they still have jobs. I did enjoy their acting, even though I just didn't like the show itself that much.

Yay for new Nostalgia Critic reviews! This brings hope that maybe he'll at least touch on LBT at some point. Of course, I mean anything LBT, other than the original LBT. He did sequels to other Don Blush films, and other Don Bluth films he didn't really like that much, so why not at least one of the LBT sequels?

Since you mentioned him reviewing an LBT movie, I want to see him review LBT 13. Oh man, that would be funny!
Title: The Nostalgia Critic is returning
Post by: Malte279 on January 25, 2013, 06:33:09 AM
It might be possible but I'm afraid it is not likely since MarzGurl already did the LBT movies in 2011.

Doug's already reviewed stuff that other people have, so it's not like there's any such thing as "reviewer's dibs".
Title: The Nostalgia Critic is returning
Post by: vonboy on January 25, 2013, 08:11:52 PM
I remember him saying his stance on reviewing things other people have already reviewed is he'll only do it if he can bring something new to the table. If he can look at it in a different way, or if he can think of things to bring up that other reviewers never did. If he can't, he won't bother.

Yes I'm glad he is coming back. I hated Demo Reel it wasn't good at all. I thought it was his worst show ever. Now he is going to do it bi-weekly witch is good I guess. But thrilled he is making a come back with this character. This was the character that made him very popular and what made him the most money. Looking forward to his new NC reviews.

I'm only haflway through this episode so far. Seems really long for an episode.

I really like the "Chia-Child" ad sketch. :D

Timothy Green really did seem like a bad movie. I get that it was trying to be a cute family film and everything but geez! And like the Critic said, none of the characters were very likable. Timmy himself was the only character who came close to being that but his being so perfect made it impossible to really care about him as a character.

Great to see the Critic back. I loved the skit where he and...I think his girlfriend/wife screw up each others' sentences.

Well, it's nice to see at least one crowd be satisfied by this. The way some acting are acting, you'd think Doug had personally wronged them with this review.

That, and the way he pretty much ALLOWED his parents to push him around and fulfill their wishes willy-nilly. Right down to the issues the dad had with his father.
You can pretty much say that Tim was a "wish fulfillment" child in every single retrospect.

But at least the pencil worshiping was entertaining.

So I just looked on IMDb. THIS came out in 2012?! Oh my God, it looked like a movie from the late 90's/ early 2000's.
Title: The Nostalgia Critic is returning
Post by: WeirdRaptor on February 06, 2013, 05:22:04 PM
Hard to believe, isn't it? This movie had every 90s cliche in a 2010s movie.
Title: The Nostalgia Critic is returning
Post by: Animeboye on February 06, 2013, 05:26:03 PM
No kidding. I really thought it was a 90's movie.

Had it been a 90s film, Robin Williams probably would have played Timothy's "dad".
