SuaveStar Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 On 05 February, The Nostalgia Critic will return. Just watched the video of the reveal. So, he's admitting demo-reel was a flop, and that he's placating his fan-base now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 The character mostly was (outside of like 100 cameos) but at least they're trying to prevent burn-out now with going bi-weekly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the method, if it keeps him around, I'm happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Robinson Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Oh man, I think I grew tired of Nostalgia Critic's schtick after about a year or so. Did it get less wacky after a while? I just couldn't stand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Oh man, I think I grew tired of Nostalgia Critic's schtick after about a year or so. Did it get less wacky after a while? I just couldn't stand it. This. I don't think the guy is nearly as funny as he thinks he is. And coming from a shameless clown such as myself, that means something.

Venneh Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I watched the return segment last night. It was incredibly up its own ass, and made it seem like he was trying to cover his ass by tying the show that no one was watching into the last special/NC. Ehhhh. Though, Nella was in it, always a highlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, Nella was in it, always a highlight. To be fair, whenever they have "Crossovers" on that site they are always up their own asses, no matter the creator. And yeah, he's probably just made the link to get people to watch "Demo-Reel" to see if he left any clues for a return. Nella slowly getting out of that parking space, and his brother Rob where the only funny people in the entire half hour thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Demo Reel was always just a half hour of unfunny awkwardness. I'm only slightly happy that NC is returning. But NC at his worst is still better than Demo Reel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 What was Demo Reel? I never got around to watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Literally got to Aberdeen with a minute to spare today, if they'd turned me away from the delivery I'd have had to go 70 miles south to the nearest hotel and returned in the morning, all through snow falling. hence the snow angel on facebook, that was my celebration after sorting it all.

Gareth Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 What was Demo Reel? I never got around to watching it. It was about this four-person film company that tries to remake movies with no money and fails miserably. I wouldn't recommend it. Anyway, I just got around to watching his NC return video and I actually really liked it. It wasn't hilarious but it had a few laughs. It was easily the best thing he's put out since season 4 (2011) of the Nostalgia Critic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Hey there, peoples. I need help with something. I'm looking to make a James Bond video tribute, but since I've only watched through the series once or so, my recall of it all isn't exactly encyclopedic. I need recommendations on what scenes to pull footage from. Specifically, I'm looking for two things: -Iconic shots of each Bond (non-action, possibly close-ups, preferably slower shots) -Action scenes with clear, iconic shots. Hand-to-hand brawls, gunfights, car chases and awesome explosions are all welcome. They can be from any Eon film, since I'll be purposely using every Bond in the video. Thanks!
