Ive had no luck viewing his videos recently. His videos must be large files on blip.tv because the video playback is so choppy and out of sync. Camino and firefox both struggle with them..I updated the adobe flash but no luck.

The guy is more annoying in his Jingle all the way and especially Batman and Robin reviews, lol |

Well I finally downloaded to RealPlayer to watch it on that. It was still a bit choppy at times, but I was able to get through it.

Strangely, was able to watch it. Some valid points, but a pretty depressing ending note that he ends it on. ;(

hey, I haven't seen the video and don't even feel like it (which it's just some dude's opinion, btw...) but by reading the very cynical comments..... this guy got it right, "The glasses...oh how many people have argued it.
It's not JUST the glasses
from some of the better arguments.
1)It's the mannerisms
2)It's the fact
that no one in that universe can even PICTURE Superman having a secret identity,
so they don't try to put 2 & 2 together. They might note they look
similar...but never stop to think they'd be the same." And flaws and all, STM, SR, and SII still rock, imo. |

HAHA I like this guy. I get a Weird Al vibe from him. Pretty funny.
Very well edited! Good timing. And I pretty much agree with all his choices. Other than #11.

I'm a big fan of this guy. I'm glad he didn't care too much for Superman Returns. His points are basically why I hated it so much.

Only one of the entries was about SR, & it was #11 The rest were Donner & Lester films  |

I find it interesting that only two entries are from Superman III, even if the latter's a pretty huge one.

What no:
Moving the moon; "great wall of china" vision; Lacey breathing in space?
Woman and baby carriage far less dumb than those, but I guess you have to spread them out among the films.
Surprised Brandon got in there, but Bosworth deserves it.

Richard Pryor (Superman III) 1. Spinning the Earth Backwards (Superman: The Movie) What's stupid about those?  I mean, little kids ARE like that. Those type of situations DO happen to families. Apparently he doesn't have kids...... And what exactly did he say about the casting of SR? Just curious.  ye5man said, "Moving the moon; "great wall of china" vision; Lacey breathing in space?
Woman and baby carriage far less dumb than those, but I guess you have to spread them out among the films." Agreed. |

Thanks to TPM and Russ for alerting us to this. I'm a fan of this guy (and AVGN, of course) but haven't been keeping up to date with the latest. I'll check it out when I get chance. Ta.

I love Nostalgia Critic. I've been a fan of his before he even had his site.

Oh yeah, shit's great. Been waiting for this vid for like 3 weeks. And even though every once in a while he'll have a bad video like the Twister one, when you see the Titanic animated movie one, it just brings it all back.

The last 5 minutes of his Garbage Pail Kids video is absolute gold.

Richard Pryor (Superman III) 1. Spinning the Earth Backwards (Superman: The Movie) What do the glasses disguise really have to do with the movies themselves? That's a part of the character, not an idea the movies came up with. It's also an old, predictable complaint. Everyone acts like it's a new discovery that glasses aren't the best disguise. |

Beauty of it all is, that kind of thing IS doable.
I've known a specific group of people for YEARS, and hadn't seen them in a few months, but I had grown out my hair and started wearing my glasses more (my contacts were all out) and I went UP to a dude I've been friends with for a long time, and he had NO idea it was me. At all. Sure, drinks had been had, but not many. And it happened three other times, all with people who know me pretty well.
So...I dunno. It CAN happen. When you drastically change your hairstyle and add an accessory to your face, it does make a difference, add in a different voice and body posture, yeah, why the heck not could people see Clark Kent and not see Superman?
