I think your slogan or, "Catch Phrase," should be, "Snobbing bad movies just for you."

Great review as always Brad, and this crossover was EXCELLENT! The way you played off of each other was great. Also, I'm glad to see a review where both reviewers have equal time, because that seems to be a hard thing for some people to do without forcing it.
Also, before someone starts whining about Film Brain, I think he did do a good job.
First of all, he was never that bad to begin with. He certainly is no Cinema Snob, but I can name several reviewers who are worse, such as a certain annoying asshole who ALSO works with TGWTG. Second of all, he's gotten better with time. Yes, the "SYMBOLISM!" shit is annoying, and I can't stand whoever the fucking pink haired german guy, but he's not nearly as bad as he was when he started.

Hey, does Film Brain smell funny? I don't know, he just always looks like he would smell. Not a bad smell, but a funny smell... Like a hamster cage or something like that.
Reply to this
Great episode and got to admit the movie seems to have some really stupid moments but at least it has Michael Ironside and Christopher Walken starring together and that's pretty awesome.
Reply to this
I love you, Brad, but not even your awesomeness is worth sitting through a Film Brain video. God help me if he says "THYMBOWISM!" in this or has that fucking Insano wannabe hopping around.
Reply to this
He called him a fetus, hehe.
Reply to this
aw fuck... the fucking Snob hits the film i've been dying to see hit for the longest fucking time, and he does it with that TWAT Film Brain... i voided that fucker's opinion the day he gave Inglourious Basterds a worse review than Transformers 2. i'm so torn...
Reply to this
Tell me you are fucking joking about that last part. As if I needed more proof of the fact that he should NEVER have been allowed on TGWTG.
Reply to this
wish i was joking. here's Spoony's response for proof: http://spoonyexperiment.com/2009/09/21/my-response-to-film-brains-review-of-inglourious-basterds/
Reply to this
Oh for crying out loud...
Not everyone is going to freaking agree as far as movies go! Get over it!!
And hell, even in the damn review for Transformers 2, Film Brain points out it is the equivilent of eating tons of candy and then getting a bad stomach-ache afterward, meaning he was entertained during the time but it didn't sit so well later. Also, it seems he rates moreso on if the film did entertain him or not which it seems Inglorious Basterds didn't so much. Not to mention Spoony's response was meant as a joke. People need to stop taking this stuff so seriously. I get sick of reading this crap continuously.
Reply to this
I don't care about the details and I don't care about Spoony's response. If you give a piece of shit Baysplosion clusterfuck with plot holes big enough to send Unicron through a better rating than anything Tarrantino has even looked at, then you don't ever get to be taken seriously again. It's like tattooing "I have shitty taste" across your forehead in rainbow font.
Reply to this
Sorry to play devil's advocate here but let's face it. We ALL have a movie that many find really stupid that we personally enjoy and one that is as acclaimed as Inglorious Basterds that we hate. We should all be required to get this tattoo at this rate.
Reply to this
Nah, not the case. I didn't like Saving Private Ryan, personally. But that doesn't mean I don't recognize it as a fantastic movie. Just not my cup of tea. I'm not going to say that some random piece of shit popcorn flick is better just because I hate it less. But I shouldn't argue, I always ruin Brad's comments with this crap, kind of rude. My bad.
Reply to this
"I'm not going to say that some random piece of shit popcorn flick is better"
He never said it was better, he just rated it higher. The only way that argument works is if he's rating both the movies in the same way, which really only works if he's rating it based on how much he enjoyed the movie, which makes him giving Inglorious Basterds a bad rating the same as you not liking Saving Private Ryan.
On the other hand, he could be rating movies based on how well they do in their respect fields. This means that Transformers 2 is a good movie in its field, while Inglorious Basterds is not as good a movie in its field, which makes the whole comparison apples and oranges.
But honestly, the real reason for those ratings is that he's a contrary asshole in all of his written reviews, and he rates good movies a little lower than usual and bad movies a little higher than usual. This way he can feel like he isn't a sheep following the herd, the "controversial" ratings create discussions, and he gets publicity from all these people getting so stirred up about him.
Of course, all of this is why you just read the actual review, and completely ignore the ratings. I mean, Sage and Lee dropped ratings for a reason.
Reply to this
Also, before we get into contradictory territory with my comment before, let me point out you are entitled to disagree with Film Brain or anyone. It's just I find it so asinine to harp on someone for so long over a mere opinion difference involving a film. Is it really worth the time?
Reply to this
Wow, I did kick a hornet's nest didn't I? I will re-iterate the long reponses I've made on Spoony's forum:
"As for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, I admit I was wrong; so unbelievably wrong that I deserved a good reprimand. And I got it, alright. Twice. When I saw it (and I saw it once), it was the day Equilibrium was posted and I had my final exam. When Equilibrium turned into a flame war, I went into my exam pretty dejected. Having felt that I royally messed up my exam, the film was my treat for just getting through it all. (plus it meant that I could review it first, since it opened early in the UK - so there were very few reviews at the time, and most of them were positive) I guess because I was having a bad day I deluded myself into thinking it was halfway decent. A fortnight later, message was recieved. And I acknowledge it was wrong. Its definetly a 2/5 if I was to use the system. My review, in retrospect, seems somewhat delusional. I defend it purely on the basis of enjoyment, and, although I did note how vacuous it is at its core by comparing it to sweets and candy, I think I didn't consider the negatives enough. I was actually going to do it for the next series of BMB, opening with me giving a positive spiel and then the 'real' me bludegoning the other (somewhat ironically, in the light of this mess) with a basebat bat, until the 'real' version is drenched in blood. That pretty much sums up my feelings on the subject.
As for Inglorious Basterds, I caught the showing on the last day at my local cinema, catching up because I heard positive buzz and I had been working on the show for a solid month. And I did enjoy myself initially. But as I watched the film further, I began to enjoy it less and less. I personally wanted it to be about Shosanna, because, to me, she was a far more interesting character than any of the poorly characterised Basterds. Whilst there was no hooting in my cinema (but I'd really be surprised given the auditorium had 7 people in it when it started, including myself - there was 4 when the film concluded), I'd heard plenty of reports about it. And I wasn't lying, either - I really did consider joining the people who left. But I liked the scenes with Shosanna too much to go (the scene where she dines with Landa is brilliant). By the end of it, I was actually feeling pretty miserable. When I walked back from the cinema, someone noted I had a face like a smacked arse. I was so bitterly disappointed. It was half a good movie, from a filmmaker who is capable of so much more than what he gave. Watching Pulp Fiction again yesterday (whilst researching for Surrogates), the flaws became more noticable in Inglourious."

"I also think this is a case of people mistaking me for being more negative than I am. When I mentioned the marketing, I was not chastising Tarantino for it, since he has no control over it (I doubt he had any influence over the UK TV ads which simply called the film 'Inglourious', for instance). I was trying to make sure that people know what they're dealing with. I consider it correct to alert people to something so misleading, since it would damage their enjoyment of the film if they came in with the wrong mindset. I think this applies to BMB episodes too, since I usually try to include a positive comment or two rather than be outright negative because even bad films can get somethings right. I prefer to play 'fair' that way.
And I don't tend to review based on enjoyment either. I thought Changeling last year was a brilliant movie (it scored a perfect 5/5 score), but it really upset me for days and weeks afterwards. It was probably a bad idea to see it on my birthday...
At the end of the day, Bay is not better than Tarantino. Although that's a bit of an odd comaprison anyway since neither of them work in the same genre. But, at the end of the day, I don't really want to watch either of the two films again.
I apologise for any upset caused. I was in the wrong."
And, more recently...
"I think I did alienate people with that [of Equilibrium]. I'm both glad and regretful of that review. I was hired onto the site for articles initially, the videos side started as an experiment on my part. So when you see the mistakes I made reviewing Pluto Nash, those were mistakes I was making for the first time. I'd never done anything like it before. Which brings me to Equilibrium, which was the second shot and written and third released. I was super-green when I did it. I look back at it and cringe at some parts, because some of it is good. But some of it I would never do these days and with good reason. Again, its part of the learning process and I learnt it the very hard way: by inadvertedly pissing a lot of people off.
I can understand if people never watched an episode of mine after that, lord knows I can't blame them. But past is past, what's done is done, and all you can do is move forward. I've been trying to improve since day one and, as every internet reviewer will tell you, you never stop. You always try something new, always explore new avenues. I listen to both sides and see what I can do. I think the approach of my show has changed dramatically, but so has the quality. Its tighter, its more focussed, its better-edited and better acted as I get more comfortable with the camera."
Reply to this
(cont'd)
"And the other reason I keep trying to improve is because I want to win back those whom I alienated to an extent. I know you can't please everybody, but I don't want to be that guy everybody hates, I just want to be the lovable, kinda goofy, film guy who has far too many DVDs. I'm not better than thou: I'm probably clumsier and more absent-minded than thou. I've worked hard to clean up my image and I think it really shows. I want to keep getting better, because I love what I do and I love the people that love what I make."
"I've stopped writing articles just because it just wasn't worth it any more. All I was doing was writing articles that would get flamed or voted down regardless of whether or not the opinion was with the popular consensus. There was no fun in it. I'd much rather concentrate on my videos, which have more fans than churn out what only amounted to flame bait."
I think I've written a bajillion words on the subject, but the fact of the matter is, Brad is a wonderful person to work with and I'm extremely grateful that he was kind enough to offer his services for this review. If you don't like me, that's fine, but don't dismiss Brad's work here, since he turns in a terrfic performance in this video and I'd hate to see people shun it just because of my association.
Reply to this
Just one observation I want to make Mr. Buckley, the formality is for the lack of respect, if you really felt the Equilibrium review was bad and deserved, at some level, the thrashing than you should have took it like a man and tell Michaud or Ellis to enable the rating system so you could see the result of your review.
But still from that review I didn't give you another chance and you should learn an important lesson: you can't please everyone. God knows TGWTG learned that countless times. Still hats off to your review with Brad. You really did a great job as a duo, but you still didn't make a new reader/watcher, I loathe the term fan.

Take it to TGWTG.com with the other screaming 12 year olds. This is Snob's site.
Reply to this
I must admit when I first read the words "Bad Movie Cinema Snobs" over on TGWTG looking/hoping for part 3 of Kickassia since I'm still awake at almost 7am, I was a little worried. There is only one Englishman on TGWTG that I do enjoy watching, and "Film Brain" is not that Englishman. So boy was I glad when the pair of you began ripping on each other.
Loving the 2 year anniversary so far, you better have done a crossover with Spoony!
Reply to this
Oh come on, now Cinema Snob is officially ruined by those untalented, annoying pricks from channel "awesome." More like "Channel That Is Way Too Embarrassing To Watch."
Reply to this
Mind explaining how Cinema Snob is ruined by the Channel Awesome team? I mean, it's not like he has changed his character/persona at all. Not to mention it's not like he is always pairing with them.
Please explain your claim.
Reply to this
*clears throat*
A crossover is a chance for a new audience to see him. He works with other people if you want someone who lives in their mothers basement and reviews movies in pure spite. I'd suggest culling the fucktardness that is youtube now.
Cinema Snob and Film Brain worked well together, if you didn't bother to watch the video your opinion is null in void. The crossovers only happen once a year if not once or twice ever six months throughout the site.
As for Cinema Snob being tainted? Guess how I found out about him? TGWTG. He has become one of my favorite reviewers a little above Doug in the ranking.
And as for annoying to you I would like to point out a phrase "one mans trash is another mans treasure" works the same as "Opinions are like Assholes everone has one" he looses you he might gain three more

I enjoyed this well enough. I'm not familiar with Film Brains work(he is cracking me up in Kickassia though), but he did well here.

It's interesting to see you tear his youth and ignorance apart with your typical Cinema Snob cynicism

One of the better cross-overs I've seen..Great job.

Great review. Er just one thing Brad, I am pretty sure that wasn't Annie Potts.

The joke was she just looked and sounded like Annie Potts, not that she was. Although that's the only way a Walken/Ironside movie could get any cooler.

I would like to apologize for every review I have ever written and performed. My videos are often made poorly and I do realize that not even a nutless monkey would laugh about my jokes.

Awesome review, i enjoyed it. I had never seen the Film Brain, I did know about his written reviews (I read his Inglorious Basterds review,and well,let's just say I stick with Castellari's Bastards). The idea to combine both was really funny,and i can identify with the snob's criticism, being a child of the 80's myself,as I too experience the generation gaps. Great Work!
Reply to this
The internet never siezes to amaze me with its needless bad critizism. Film Brain gives reviews for free and gets bashed for it.
If you don't like his style, fine, don't watch his reviews, but there is no need to go crazy and start flaming him for something he provides for free. Seriously.
As for this particular cross-over, I must say that I think it worked very well and I enjoyed it.
So thanks Snob and Brain!

He gets paid through advertising, he is not providing free entertainment. He is just as open to criticism as any of the movies he critiques.
I don't even hate him, your argument is just shitty.
Reply to this
There's a difference between providing something for which people don't have to pay anything in order to watch it and getting paid for something.
Brad, Spoony, the AVGN, the NC and yes, even Film Brain are all giving you people free entertainment.
Reply to this
Isn't it fucking obvious? As soon as "they" start doing crossovers the game's already lost. "They" sell out and are forced to do these fucking embarrassing crossover episodes with some untalented losers, why are just so painful to watch that they're pretty much dragging the whole thing down. What we get now, in the long term, is less snob and more pricks from channel Awesome being pricks. Seriously, out of the whole bunch, I can count the good ones on my left arm.
Reply to this
Would it be too direct to call you a whining over-emotional psychopath who Snob, Channel Awesome, and your parents would be better off without?
Reply to this
Yea sure, I've got no right to complain, it's free entertainment after all, but fuck, I'm gonna do it anyway. Cinema Snob and his buddies are awesome, I wanna see more videos about them, I don't wanna see some fucking mongoloids like Linkara, or that Phallus dude, or whatever the fuck his name is eating up screen time on this site. Everyone except Brad, Spoony and Nostalgia Critic are just so painful to watch that at least I often end up skipping crossovers or just watching the parts that they are in, those other guys are just horrendous.
Reply to this
It's good to know that we get insight from you, oh bastion of the one and only truth, who knows everyone's motive and incentive for doing what they want.
You seem to ignore the possibilities that these crossovers Brad has done aren't being done out of an obligation of his relation with Channel Awesome, but moreso because (gasp) he wants to do them, and ENJOYS working on them? Furthermore, some of this whining I note is the same sort of behavior that was being slung about at Brad when Spoony was featuring some of his videos on TheSpoonyExperiment.
It's hard to take your criticism seriously, also, when you're spending more time throwing insults at people than anything else.
Brad has been, and will continue to, make Snob videos that'll appease folks like you while being part of Channel Awesome. He enjoys making those videos, naturally...but at the same time, he also has a lot of fun working on these collab projects in varying forms, too!
But whatever, nothing I'm going to say is going to convince you of anything once your mentality gets to this point, especially when you're dead set on complaining and slinging insults over free entertainment over the internet.

So you tow were in a motel room?
Reply to this
Well this was a nice cross over. The age jokes were funny, I usually make the same jokes to a friend of mine
As for the people who don't like filmbrain.. ah well no one is forcing you to watch it. Not that I agree on all his reviews (The deaths of Ian Stone)but then again no one has the same taste in movies.
For instance Brad hates the Boondock Saints... I love that movie (not part 2, that was a horrible piece of shit)
I have a crap taste in movies so when someone says a movie I like is crap... well fuck them. I am a Uwe Boll fan and proud of it!
I sure hope there's a crossover with Spoony comming up

Actually, I didn't review The Deaths of Ian Stone, that was Phelous.

Ah thanks for mentioning, my bad. But my point is peoples tastes differ. If you don't like something, don't watch it

I really dislike film brains reviews but this one was very good. I think he just need to kill of that Dr. Insano Clone, stop with the symbolism shit and get co host to bounce jokes off or stop trying to be funny and just review movies seriously.

Wow. Whats it like to completely sell out Brad? You sold your soul to TGWTG.COM and they stick you with the limey fucktard Film Brain. God if I were you Id just fucking hang myself in my closet by my belt and fucking end it all.

I think somebody needs a hug.
Reply to this
"...and they stick you with the limey fucktard Film Brain. "
Just to clarify, NO ONE from Channel Awesome's administrative side forced/ordered Brad to do this. Mat approached Brad with the idea, Brad liked it, and went ahead with it.
The sooner people like you understand that this is how most of these collabs are done, the sooner you can stop throwing pointless accusations at folks.
Reply to this
Thank you skitch just honestly thank you. People miss the fact that these people are doing it for entertainment of their own variety the fact that they got fans surprises them, they don't do 'fanservice' they do what they want. It's obvious from the chemistry on the video that *gasp* brad and mat like eachother
I'm enjoying these crossovers and hope to see more while seeing more cinema snob at the same time

I only found the Snob because of TGWTG and have been hooked ever since. I've never followed Film Brain but I loved this review. The only thing that would have made it better would be if Snob asked Brain if he'd like to be an actor and offer him a role in Cheap 2.

I love The Exterminator but this looks so bad, good team-up though. Question, is Film Brain British or American? His accent is a little vague.

Reply to this
I never would have put you and Film Brain together but you guys actually did a nice job of meshing you two review styles.
To all those we are complaining about Brad joining Channel Awesome or working with TGWTG.com I have simple solution...don't visit either one of those sites or watch any of Brad videos from them. Just visit Brads site only to watch his work and you'll be supporting him alone. It's as simple as that.
Reply to this
I agree. It's one thing to not like other reviewers but yeesh, so much pointless hate and bashing.
Just don't watch the people you don't like. Don't talk like they should be savagely beaten and left for dead in a ditch. Brad it's the type to just bend over and be forced to do these cross-overs. He WILLINGLY does them and from what I gather he does enjoy it. So what does it say about those who spew hatred over another reviewer when the guy they idolize likes them?
Reply to this
Just closing my eyes from crossovers doesn't change the fact that Brad is now being sodomized by those talentless morons at Channel Awesome while simultaneously sucking TGWTG's fat cock for cash. Guy sold out and that's what grinds our gears.
Reply to this
Keep crying, Che. Everyone else is laughing.
You sure like sodomy and cock-sucking, don't you. I'd call you a closetcase, but I doubt your balls have dropped.

Thank god I'm my own boss. No crossovers with British people for me. USA USA USA!
Reply to this
I liked this team up. There was hints of JD and Cox about their characters which made the partnership work.
I can also see that the whole cross-over event can give us some welcome surprises and both the Snob and Film Brain would learn things from each other.
Just remember, if there was no TGWTG cross-overs then we would never have got 'Spooning With Spoony'.
Reply to this
Didn't I asked you last year for a crossover Brad? Tsk tsk tsk what a difference a paycheck makes.....
Reply to this
Erm... having seen your site once or twice before... the lack of paycheck was probably not the driving force.
Reply to this
Let's clarify this.
I did not force Brad to do this review. Channel Awesome encourages crossovers for the Kickassia videos because they pay for the trip's expenses, but they don't pair people together and declare, "You two, review this!"
I asked Brad, and he said yes, simple as that. There is no selling out here. Brad did the crossover on his own free will. If he had said 'no', I wouldn't have pursued it any further.
Let's face it, for all this "Brad, you've sold out, you cocksucker!", the real issue here is me. I know a lot of you hate and despise me, but its not like I set out to ruin Brad's reputation. Me and Brad wanted to make a funny video, reviewing a movie. There's no ulterior motive here.
At the end, it benefits both parties. Both get exposure from the other's fans (although judging by this case, maybe not so true for me), we both have fun making it and everybody wins. Its not like you're going to be seeing me on a regular basis on this site.
Brad is a terrific guy and we spent two hours after filming this just talking about movies. I told him about how the BFI released a Blu-ray of Salo, much to his horror. He told me about The Italian Stallion. He did this crossover out of the kindness of his heart and for that I grateful. He is truly a great guy to be around.
Reply to this
Don't worry, you will surely get more fans because of this.
The thing is, that this is Brad's site and some people here don't enjoy particular reviewers or even crossovers, that doesn't mean that there aren't people here that do enjoy those things.
No matter what site you are on there will always be people that "hate" some humans and/or aliens, the bad reception that you perceive isn't really the case if you look at the rating of the video, dissenting opinion will always show off more than people who thought it was meh or even horrendous.
If you had your own site and did crossovers you would probably see the same thing being said about other reviewers.
Don't take it to harshly.

And as far as selling out? Well imo CS became a better reviewer after he joined TGWTG.

"Didn't I asked you last year for a crossover Brad? Tsk tsk tsk what a difference a paycheck makes....."
Yes, that's right Stray, it's all about the cheque. I mean, it's nothing to do with you having no noteriety, no camera presence and no fucking diet plan obviously.
I love the sense of entitlement rife in here. Surely no hater in here has sacrificed their time to earn a paycheck. That's absolutely not what happened here, this was a mutually-agreed upon project. But let's indulge in insane fat fuck logic here. How many folks here are unemployed and happier for it? I'm curious.

What's wrong with your volume? I have my speakers turned up full and I still can't make out what you're saying.

Yeesh! What is up with all the hatred?
To get back on topic(that is, the review and the movie being reviewed) what was up with that talk about new red, white, and blue money? Was that a take that about the new ten and twenty dollar bills that have come out?(Were they doing that in the nineties? If not, I guess that makes it Hillarious in Hindsight)
That nurse really was cold blooded. I hope she wasn't the one who broke the news to dead guy's loved ones. Also, the way she said, "We could use the parts" kinda implies that she was willing to just yank the organs out, reguardless of whether dead guy was an organ donor or not.
Interesting speech by that drug dealer. So... drug dealing is okay, but only in America? Drug dealers are victims too? I really don't get it.
Easy listening music for the soundtrack, talking about peace and freedom and sh-stuff? It's supposed to be an action movie! You need cheesy eighties guitar riffs!
I personally loved the crossover. Count me as another viewer who found out about Brad via Channel Awesome. I also happen to like Film Brain. I may not always agree with him, but his reviews are entertaining.
You guys did a great job together! I loved that Snob decided to stick around because he enjoyed being a jerk. The age jokes were funny too. Did Snob do any other crossover reviews? Perhaps one with Nostalgia Chick?

Son you really don't know jack shit about what your doing if your arguing with a bunch of knuckleheads on the internet whether or not your videos are good.

First FilmBrain review I really enjoyed, I never hated the guy, I just never really enjoyed him.
It might be because he's got the cinemasnob beside him but I think it's something else, he seems more well paced which I think he could learn from this experience, he might even get a new fan if this where the case... *cough* me *cough*
Thanks guys for bringing us this review.

Two things. 1. They should make a rule 34 about Brad sucking Doug's fat cock while being pummeled in the ass by Brian, while wearing latex corset (doh). 2. Movie Brain, or whatever the fuck he's called, pick an accent and stick with it. You sound like a Dolph Lundgren imitator who ate too much ice cream. Gay ice cream. STOP STEALING SCREEN TIME FROM BRAD YOU HOMO! NEXT TIME ASK SOME OTHER REVIEWER TO DO A CROSSOVER EPISODE, preferably someone that I've never heard about. Just stay the fuck away from this site. Go ruin Spoony's videos or something. Fucking fuckidy fuck.

You sir have got some serious growing up to do.

Do Brad and Spoony share trolls or something? It's unfortunate to see the same behavior repeated here.
Anyways, you two worked surprisingly well together. I never expected to see a collab from you two, but it was really fun to watch.
Reply to this
All you guys crying sell out and insulting other people in these crossovers aren't doing anyone any favors and just making the community on this site look like a big joke.
Brad and the others at channel awesome entertain you for free so get off your high horses already. So what if he wants to collab with channel awesome? Maybe he enjoys doing these videos with new people and expanding to bigger audiences? But oh no! He makes money from them too!? Too bad it's going to be put towards making more free videos for all of you ingrates to watch.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Glickenhauses masterpiece, The Protector. The movie was so bad that Jackie Chan, who was the star of movie, took the movie to Hong Kong and re-shot the movie. The part where the guy is being shot out of a window is exactly like a scene in the protector. Funny you mention Exterminator 1, which had Steve James in it because he's in McBain also.

Christ almighty, the comments on this page are as bad as the ones over at Cracked! Actually a dozen or so tallmingle/cougar dating site spambots would be an improvement right now.
Good video btw. Wouldn't mind seeing crossovers with other movie-oriented TGWTG people.

I like Film Brain, I think he was good here, and I also think he's been nothing short of superb in Kickassia.
So there.
Reply to this
The Cinema Snob has snobby fans. Is that ironic or what?
Reply to this
It is true what they say, once you start doing crossovers you end up like Spoony. Sure he's watchable, but the spark is gone. At least we have around 80 "pre sold out snob"- videos to watch.
Reply to this
I'm liking these crossovers (Disgruntled Mimes, Bad Movie Cinema Snobs) more than Kickassia! There, I said it!!! Hahaha! But seriously, Film Brain is doing an excellent job with these crossovers and looks like he's working his ass off! Enhorabuena, Film Brain!
Reply to this
holy crap, please never do that to me again. that brain guy was horrible... please brad, never do a review with him again. id rather have a dog taking a lava dump all over my screen than listen to that fetus....
thanks alot
ps. brad you are great....

Oh, we internet people are bunch of sad fuckers. I just can't fit this into my head.
I have always liked Mathew's videos, even the first ones. Yes he was trying to be like Nostalgia Critic a bit too much and some the joking was bit painful to watch but it was still entertaining. Now that he has found he's own style which is more informative and not trying to be funny all the time, he has become a great reviewer (at least in my humble opinion). He provides interesting facts and trivia about the movie he is reviewing, he has some really good points and he seems to be a nice and smart young gentleman.
I admit even I was really skeptical about this video but oh boy was I happy to wrong. Brad and Mathew had this nice buddy cop comedy hate-hate chemistry which I found to be a lot of fun to watch. I would have never believed that it worked but it did. I enjoyed it a lot.
In the end I think that internet is a great "opportunity" where people can share their interest and ideas of any artform or whatever. Watching these comments made me very sad how some people just want bully others who don't think the same. Yes it might be sad for you that your little exclusive The Cinema Snob club isn't so exclusive anymore because Brad has gotten a lot of new fans from TGWTG.com, but there is nothing you can do to that so why can't you just let it be and enjoy his work in this site.
I want to thank both Mathew and Brad for providing us hilarious entertainment, together and apart. I do believe that there are a lot more of us who would like to see more great stuff from you both than those who are trying bring you down for their own immature reasons. And I apologise for the grammar we finns are horrible at foreign languages.

Oh my goodness this review is truly precious. To see someone of the high caliber of Christopher Walken in a movie like this beyond imagination. Wow i was laughing so much it made my headache hurt more. I'll have to watch this over after..THE TYLENOL. Thank goodness i have yet to check out the godliness of ASSKICKIA otherwise my head would spasm into a full blown stroke of pure excitement.
Truly the Film Brain and Cinema Snob are EUPHORIA INCARNATE! Thank you for the satisfied mind.
Boy that music is something else ha ha.
Reply to this
Thing is, Christopher Walken has been in -a lot- of bad movies. He's said in interviews that he'll take pretty much any role because it's a learning experience for him, which is why we see him in all sorts of different genres.
It's just what he does. He knows he's in bad movies and he enjoys it.

Someone is impersonating Film Brain. Best to ignore any comments like that one.
Reply to this
Why don't all you whining motherfuckers shut up. If you don't like Film Brain, go ahead. The rest of us don't give a flying fuck what you do or don't like, and never will. So shut up already. Bunch of unappreciative, whining fucking kids. Heaven forbid there's something on the internet you don't personally like.
Why bother appreciating the work people put into attempts to entertain you douchebags? I had no intention of sounding so angry, but you people need to learn some goddamn manners. Fucking ingrates.
Reply to this
That wasn't sarcasm, some butthurt loser is using FB's name to troll.
Reply to this
Wow. Quite the response you guys received here.
And I must say it was a great review and I enjoyed the team-up.
I've been a longtime Cinema Snob fan and never heard of Film Brain until Kickassia (needless to say, I never heard of any of the other guys on Kickassia until that project came to light).
And, you all need to chill the fuck out. Film Brain doesn't deserve the flack you all are giving him. I think he is intentionally wacky and it works well, especially with the Snob's dryness and insults. It worked very well. And all you whiny little cunts should be ashamed of yourselves for being fuckin' pricks.

This review was great
but unfortunately you guys have caused a shit storm.
The collab sounds odd on paper but it works well especially with the age jokes and the catchphase agrument.
Seriously, I hate trolls and some of the comments above show me that the future won't be any brighter
Reply to this
Sorry for spamming this board but as I said, no need to worry filmbrain, just look at the ratings on the video.
96.3% Liked, that means a loud minority truly disliked it.
Let them be.
Reply to this
Somebody's using FilmBrain's name to post some shit? I fucking hope they're only trolls using this controversy as an excuse, because this is pathetic. I'm really starting to wonder if Internet makes the worst of some people come out or if all of those trolls just don't have anything better to do. Get a life boyos.
You both deserve better guys. And sorry for feeding the trolls.

leave that brain guy alone....
in kickassia and partly in this review he seems kinda mentally challenged.

One of the great things about watching short videos on the internet is that my standards can be much lower. Just seeing someone talk about something I'd like to hear about is enough.
So I don't get why people get so twisted out of shape over light, free entertainment or the existence of such that they don't want to see. On the other hand, I guess I can't be surprised that people treat differences of opinion as such a big deal, considering that's how the internet works.

Wow, the fuck's with most of the hate? Stop getting stressed about online reviewers.

Guys, seriously, Matt is my friend; it's okay to criticize, but be respectful and leave hateful comments out of it. Also, some of the comments by "Film Brain" are fake (ie the racist ones).

Sorry, Brad. Don't know if I'm someone you're addressing, but I should apologize anyway. I just don't like the guy, honestly, huge bias against him. My bad, won't happen again.
Reply to this
Look i'm going to applaud Brad for stepping up here. And truthfully I admit there were some harsh words said from trolls and people who frequent the site. I enjoyed the review based on that it was a review and from two good reviewers in my opinon. You can call me stupid, or any baseless names but it's my opinion and the fact that the snob has very 'Snobby' fans is an freaking hilarious things. People he didn't sell out, he's expanding his videos to gain more of an audience. If you don't like it it doesn't mean he didn't do it because he didn't want to, obviously he's having fun and i applaud him for that
As far as the movie, the only saving grace is Walken really truly it is....
Reply to this
Really enjoyed the review; the age difference between you two made for some great moments. Now I don't know whether to feel old (when compared to Film Brain) or young (when next to Cinema Snob), given such context. Jeez. XD
Good stuff. Hope to see more crossovers in the future. Both FB and the CS are two of my more favorite reviewers, so this was a real treat. (:
Reply to this
UMMM Selling out? Everyone sells out get over it. These are fucking websites and at the end of the day they do what they love and make money at it. It was good review.
Selling out so many people are being unreasonable and this review of Inglorious Bastards where is it at? I can't find it. Again Selling Out? What the fuck people god forbid someone makes money at something they love.
Reply to this
Man. I'm gonna be honest here, I don't like Film Brain. At all. I reaaaaaaaaally gave him a shot but I just don't like his reviews. It must be all that head moving. I'm sure he's a fine person, I just hate his character, you know?
But I will admit, you two do make an interesting pair. So even though I was expecting a bad video... this turned out to be pretty good.
Also. JESUS CHRIST FILM BRAIN MADE ME FEEL OLD.

Also, Brad, was the guy from the 'Nam cage fight supposed to be Bolo Yeung, or was it just some roided up guy who was intended to look like him?
Reply to this
People, it can't be that hard to understand that the way Film Brain is portrayed during the anniversary week is supposed to parody his behaviour in earlier videos. The catchphrase "SYMBOLISM" getting ridiculed is a more obvious example of that.
Reply to this
Dis movie ... is un-fucking-believable.
Reply to this
Please, keep the acerbic "criticism" to yourselves and at least try to maintain some damn civility. I never found Film Brian to be hilarious but he has good analytical skills that do manifest in his reviews(like in his infamous review of equilibrium). A good cross-over btw, well-done. I liked how the review subtly acknowledges the disparity in knowledge and age.
Reply to this
One of the funniest yet!
Reply to this
I have to say your style is a little weird, film-brain, but your opinoin seems pretty intelligent. I've never watched any of your reviews, just heard all the trolling about some, so I never really watched any of your vids. You seem like a decent dude so I may check 'em out though.
As usual, Brad, you are top notch. You dont need me to say that though. =)
Reply to this
Not to fan the hate flames, but to start with I did not like Film Brain's review when he started and the whole thing with Inglorious Basterds did piss me off, but after he clarified things and I watched more of his reviews I've warmed to him and I think, he can correct me if I'm wrong and he reads this, he's going for a sort of cringe enducing english humour.Though thats my interpretation. Also I will say his reviews are'nt of the same quality of NC, Spoony or Brad, i.e. the camera, lighting and sound always seems abit off, though that might just be my old heap of a PC being shit, but you know what? It gives everyone who wants to do movie reviews in the style of all the tallent at TGWTG's and all the other great reviewers out there hope we can make it, I myself have been toying with the idea to at somepoint release review videos.
So I say to Film Brain shine on you magnificent bastard.
Now off that topic, I don't see the hate on crossovers, I love them, ok if you don't like them to each their own but no need to be spewing bile.
And finally, great review guys! You two did have an off-beat chemistry and I dug and I hope to see more of you two doing more crossovers, if only to annoy those who dislike them for fun. Poke that grizzly!

I've only watched some of the Cinema Snob since the Kickassia videos, and I've never watched Film Brain, but I have to say you both had suburb chemistry together. I really liked the relationship throughout the review, so much so that I was distracted from the actual review! Really, whichever or both of you who made the writing for the put downs should give yourself a pat on the back. Really, superb. I do think Cinema Snob has a better delivery, but that's probably due to his voice being the equivalent of chocolate to the ears.
You've definitely both earned yourselves a new watcher. I do think people are far too harsh on Film Brain, this may be out of ignorance to his reviews, as I found him enjoyable in this and Kickassia. He plays a bit of an awkward guy but it's played for laughs. The accent doesn't give me any trouble either and I do hope he continues with his reviews. He seems an honestly earnest and enthusiastic reviewer who enjoys his work.

I actually saw this movie once by mistake... and what a mistake. I'm a huge Christopher Walken fan, but this movie was just unbearable to me.
By the way, lay off Film Brain, will you? Yes, his quirky way of reviewing takes some getting used to, but so does Brad's blunt, sarcastic criticism as the Snob. The whole point of a review is to hear someone's take on a movie, and that's what Mathew does. If you don't like it, DON'T freakin' watch it! Honestly, trolls spawn faster than bacteria in some posts.

I don't see what the big deal with Film Brain is... he obviously has a different style than The Snob, and is younger and has a younger audience... that being said, I thought the two played off each other very well, and the review was very entertaining...

I finally saw McBain and I thought it was lame. The body count was impressive (over 200!!!) and the practical effects were good, but they didn't save what was ultimately a bore fest.
