I was saying on twitter, it provides excellent dark!The Other Guy fodder does it not? :P

Yes indeedy! :D

That and it made my inner STAR WARS nerd crow in glee. :3

I will admit, about the movie...*sighs* If it weren't for the whole Dude Not Funny factor, it could have actually been an interesting story. But FFS, *leave the Titanic out of this*! /end soapboxing. Sorry.

I love how he ranted about it. It was a great mix of intelligent genuine disgust and the usual "aww, look at the cutie suffer". :p

*This*! Seriously.

Especially when he was looking in the mirror and crying. *Torn between laughing and wanting to hug him forever -- decides to hug him instead*

I don't understand why the Titanic was even involved. Couldn't they have just set the story on any nameless ship in the early 20th century? Why pick the Titanic, which was a real-life ship and a real-life disaster? Just because it's famous?

But yeah, the dumb explanations for the talking animals, the shark gangs, the giant octopus, the lack of synchronicity when it came to certain characters' voices (was this movie dubbed?), not to mention the blank, vacuous face of Elizabeth (Snow White had more lifelike facial expressions than she did!) all combined to ensure that this movie was not good.

I honestly don't know. Maybe they just wanted an early start on the Dude Not Funny/Douchebag(s) of the Year Awards? :/

And yeah...*this*. :( I will admit, though, the octopus -- he should have been in a better movie, IMHO. :/

The whole review was funny and awesome, but yeah, the Star Wars skit in the beginning was definitely great. :D

I wonder...would the "Phantom Menace" technically count as a nostalgic film, considering that it was made in 1999 (I think)? Since it's part of a trilogy, the Critic would be expected to do the rest, which wouldn't really count as nostalgic, but it would still be cool if he reviewed the prequels. :)

I just love how Rob's bitching and moaning about the costume party being ruined before coming across the Critic. Poor Critic. *Hugs him*

And yeah...it would be cool if the Critic reviewed the prequels. Definite bonus if they got the entire site to participate. :3
