Suburban Knights, Part 1
When two insurance company employees are invited to their boss's beach house for the weekend, the two are in for quite a surprise when they find their boss dead, and must keep his body a secret from the rest of the party goers.
Isn't that the plot to Weekend at Bernie's
?

They need a dead guy, cocaine, and a beach house.

I'll repeat what I predicted in another forum. Brad was the best actor in Kickassia, which means he'll have he least amount of lines in Suburban Knights.

You mean like how Spoony's acting was over the top & he played a big role?
Reply to this
ugh why did the TGWTG crew make another movie Kickassia was a piece of shit Brad was the ONLY good actor and was barely in it this seems like its gonna suck stick to reviews and such cuz the TGWTG crew can't aside from Brad & Lupa

*Clears throat and takes out a piece of paper.*
The anniversary movie is made in celebration of the founding of ThatGuyWithTheGlasses - it's meant to be a fun additional series of videos to commemorate the website's founding, and whether you like it or not, TGWTG has a large fanbase, ranging at some points to receiving hundreds of thousands of visits in a single day.
However, the large amount of viewers don't necessarily watch ALL the producers for the website (which already boasts over 30 different producers), but we all fly the same banner of TGWTG, which means we take part in that celebration.
We make these movies, as I said, in celebration. However, we feel that such an event should be something fun for the fans, as well, so we produce additional content to what we already regularly produce as something fun, seeing the reviewers and their own distinct personalities in new situations that they may not experience on their own shows. The downside of this is that when 20 of those producers are gathered together, it means that equal screen time must be devoted as much as possible, so they may not have as many lines, though an effort to give them good bits or funny bits is still made.
As for the argument of Brad being "the only good actor," I would ask by what basis you are making this judgment on the acting talents of the other producers. Was it an issue of delivery? Diction? Tone of voice? Please specify if you're attempting to offer some kind of response or critique that actually has value.
As for saying we should stick to reviews, we do - after all, most of us produce WEEKLY content of new reviews, and even people like who have storylines still have a review in every video. The movie is meant as something in addition to our regular content, which is still being made, with the exception of the Nostalgia Critic because editing a 2-hour movie takes up a lot of time, but I would hope that people would be understanding of such a plight, since it means only a week or two without the show and then it will resume as normal.
One final thing - if all of that was "too long; didn't read" for you, because you lack the mental prowess to read beyond l33t-speak (which is not an unfair thought considering your lack of grammar, punctuation, and spelling), I shall sum up:
Sit down, shut up, and enjoy, you idiot.

Gotta say, The best part about these big cross over event isn't the videos all the time, it is seeing Linkara step in and putting trolls in their place... The Video was funny as hell, but linkara owning trolls is always good too.
Reply to this
So what if he thinks Brad is the best actor, it's his opinion, and he's allowed to share it. He doesn't have to write an essay about why Brad is the best actor; that's just how he feels. It was a short and simple comment, not a review.
Reply to this
If he thinks Brad is the best actor, that's perfectly fine. However, he then felt the need to denigrate the entire site by coming across as disgusted that we made an anniversary movie, acting very much the pretentious person that Brad PRETENDS to be as the Cinema Snob, further implying that he feels that we are beneath Brad, that he shouldn't waste his time with people like us.
It's not a problem if he has an opinion. If people don't like it, they don't like it - they don't have to be a jerk about it, though. I've seen comments so far from people giving some thoughtful analysis and others have simply shrugged and said, "I tried to watch, but I just didn't like it." THAT is a short and simple comment. His was insulting.
Reply to this
Don't be so upset, I'm sure most people enjoyed the video as it was. I know I did.
Reply to this
I know it's hard to convey in text, but I'm not actually all that upset. XD
I've seen what GOOD constructive feedback looks like as well as civil people who say they didn't like it, and I've of course seen and smile at the people who say they loved it and want more. Honestly, it's just been a while since I got into a good argument with a troll.
The thing is, criticism, deconstruction, and analysis are skills like any other and they need to be practiced or else you lose them. Sure, I get a lot of that practice through my reviews, but sometimes the comic doesn't offer much to work with or it's too easy.
Breaking down someone's rather moronic argument (like FHHO's was) and doing so in a way that's mostly calm and controlled and explaining things in a very simple manner about why things are the way they are is a bit more of a challenge and a lot more satisfying if I can accomplish it.
But honestly? Troll comments are a dime a dozen and I'm not upset at all. They don't hurt me emotionally, they can't physically hurt me, and when the person giving them claims to have graduated from college yet can't do basic punctuation, I just have to laugh. ^_^

Don;t forget thet their TGWTG reviewer characters are not their real selves, so they're pretending to be two characters at the same time here.
Reply to this
Why does Brad have so little screen time, while Film Brain (who was annoying as shit in the first film) gets bumped up to one of the main characters?
Reply to this
Maybe because it's THE FIRST GOD DAMN EPISODE OF A 7 PARTER!!

I think we need some positive feed back. I have enjoyed it so far. The usual suspects are raising to the top, and it's a lot of laughs. Don't expect Kurosawa or Kubrick, guys. This is just a spoof, sit back and enjoy.

BITCH BITCH WHINE WHINE BITCH PISS MOAN WHINE!!!!
Geez people, just go to the doctor already if your pussies hurt so bad. You are complaining about free entertainment. You don't like it, make your own or try to get a project together with Brad if you so desire.
Personally, I enjoyed what I saw so far. It knows what it is, playing it straight faced while having the acting over the top. Personally I like that style though some people do not. I feel it works here. Also, I can see a huge improvement in the filmmaking from the last two years. Now it actually looks like a real film this time around. I look forward to more. I thank Brad and all the others at Channel Awesome for taking time to actually do this. Shit, to put on half those costumes and parade around in the open like that takes some damn huge stones.
Reply to this
actually Flowtac your the one bitching and moaning over people's OPINION'S not all of us are gonna like the same shit and in my opinion the only entertaining people on the TGWTG tem are Brad & Lupa, I like the Nostalgia Critic episodes but Doug is a god awfulannoying actor as is film brain its fucking unberable plus I said this looks like shit im not watching this cuz I saw kickassia once and it was a piece of shit sorry excuse for a movie
Reply to this
If you like Brad & Lupa, you should really give Oancitizen a try. It's inevitable that he & brad will do a crossover.
Reply to this
Why is it inevitable? Because oancitizen is a Brad ripoff?
Reply to this
Buh? How exactly? Other then that they both review movies? They have completely different mannerisms, personalities, and movies that they review.
I guess in a way they are both cinema snobs in two different ways.
Reply to this
Are you kidding me? His mannerisms are exactly the same. And his tone of voice is just like the older Snob videos. Oancitizen is playing The Cinema Snob from years back, whether Oancitizen's fans want to believe that or not.
Reply to this
I like to consider myself an unofficial sequel to The Cinema Snob. Yes, I am doing a Brad impression, and I based my character off of the earlier Snob videos, but who cares if I'm a ripoff? Some people seem to like it. I don't know if Brad's ever seen it though.
Reply to this
Aww, Mr. Kallgren's not a Snob rip-off. I feel the closest he came to ripping off someone was Linkara with the Lecture Alarm. But he corrected that in Gerry. Snob always kept the personality up, with few exceptions. Mr. Kallgren seems far more genuine, as if he's offering his sincere opinion, not just playing a character who dislikes something that is not true art or Kubrick. Kallgren at least tries to respect a film's intention, he always points out what they did right. Hell, I like Gerry, it reminds me of a novel I read. His genre is different too, arthouse cinema (the avant-garde I suppose) is at times even more bizarre than exploitation, if only because it often has a high budget and yet it has the potential to be hilarious or very disturbing. Though I do enjoy Brad's style, Mr. Kallgren is different. I think he should keep it up.
Reply to this
He just admitted he's a ripoff.
Reply to this
A poster calling himself Kyle Kallgren called himself a rip-off. Though it could be the genuine article, I admit. My opinion remains, I feel he's as original as he can possibly be as an internet reviewer.
Reply to this
And them along with everyone who makes funny review videos about movies is a ripoff of the Critic. Who is, himself, a ripoff of the AVGN. Who is, in turn, a ripoff of... yea you get the idea.
Reply to this
Kyle Kallgren reviews different movies than Brad does, but his persona is clearly a Cinema Snob impression. Mainly from the earlier days of The Cinema Snob. Kallgren's show is basically an entire series based around The Snob's "Salo" video. Not that he has a bad show (it certainly has a purpose for those who like the old Snob persona better than the current one), but he is still an unoriginal character.
Reply to this
Well, they both like pretentiousness & have seen some damn bizarre things that should be called porn.
There is no such thing as a ripoff because there is no such thing as originality.
Reply to this
I'd like to state for the record that the poster who took the name "Kyle Kallgren" is not the genuine article. If I were to post a comment, I would have posted under "Oancitizen" as I have here.
And I do not in any way consider my show to be an "unofficial sequel" to The Cinema Snob. I won't deny that Brad Jones' work is an influence, but he's as much an influence on the show as the Critic, the Chick, Linkara, Lupa, and Diamanda Hagan. Hell, I might as well throw Stephen Fry, John Hodgman and the Rifftrax crew onto that pile.
I don't mind if some people don't care for my work, but I am bothered that people out there are putting words in my mouth. Stop this, please.

Look out people!
HYPOCRITE ON THE LOOSE!
Dude, your first comment was pissing and moaning about something you haven't even seen yet. If you don't want to watch it, fine, but why must you go out of your way to bitch and moan about it? It's not going to stop it from being made or being added to the site. Brad had a hand in making this film and he has a right to post it if he so chooses.
I mean, hell, I thought a lot of Brad's earlier feature length films were horrible in many aspects but were saved by his acting and writing, and I saw his work mature over time into something far better. He has elevated big time as most people do. And I didn't go out of my way to basically rip it all to pieces, particularly if I didn't watch it.
So yeah, not only did you make yourself a hypocrite by this comment (since you're complaining about something you did not watch), but also seem to have misinterpreted what I said on top of it (which is to hate on it for the sake of hating is stupid, and I also went out of my way to point out this style of film doesn't always gel very well with everyone). I have no problem if people don't like it but there is a simply stating I don't like it and shitting monkey style in your hand & smearing it all over everything figuratively speaking. Guess what category you fall into.
I personally have no problem with your taste but seriously man, your comment from before was just really unneccessary waste (particularly since you didn't watch it), kind of like us going back and forth like this.
I will agree to disagree with you, but I do find it a little tiring when people just have to hate for the sake of hating. What's the point?

So if you knew that you weren't going to watch this, then why did you come to the comment section at all? You aren't expressing your opinion, because you can't form a real one about something you haven't seen. All you're doing is talking trash and being an a-hole in the comments because it makes you feel big on the internet.

My beard never grows properly - it's pretty much perma-stubble. Even then, I wouldn't be able to grow it out in time for the filming, since I shave before filming my regular reviews because I want to look my best and I don't think I look good with the perma-stubble.

Flowtac how the fuck am I a hypocrite? I saw the trailer for this "movie" I didn't say the "movie" is shit I said IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT after seeing Kickassia once it completely turned me off from seeing any future "movie" the TGWTG team doescuz Kickassia was indeed a piece of shut IN MY OPINION the acting was unbearable aside from Brad all the actors were so fucking terrible it's not even funny and if they wanna make more "movies" let them I don't give a fuck but after that abomination Kickassia I won't be seeing this "movie" or any future "movie" they may do if you wanna see an awesome movie watch Brad's movie CHEAP

I don't know about you guys, but this first part was a blast. Looking forward to the next part (presumably) tomorrow.
Reply to this
I always find it amusing how if you go to the sites of the TGWTG video producers who have their own, you always get the douchebags who are like "so-and-so was the only good actor in the video, why do we need to have crossovers?".
Newsflash, some of us LIKE crossovers. Some of us also LIKE more than one or two reviewers on the site. If you don't, your perfectly entitled not to. But if that's the case, then don't bitch about a video when you know well ahead of time it will have people in it you don't like. That's like drinking a glass of orange juice and then complaining that it has oranges in it.
If you don't like the crossovers, then fine. But don't go trying to spoil it for the rest of us. I know its the internet and you're entitled to your opinion, but that doesn't mean the rest of us have to give a shit.
Reply to this
Seriously. Each critic seems to end up with their own little personality cult that considers everyone else to be shit / a ripoff. I mean, there are some people on TGWTG I don't really enjoy so... I don't watch them! Imagine that. But I'm not going to shit on them, either. I'm sure they're nice people in real life, and holy crap, we're talking about people making funny videos for the internet, here. If you wanna get all self righteous about something, go debate politics... or video game consoles, or something.
Reply to this
Ok, I'll explain this to you thouroughly Fuck Her Head Off.
You are a hypocrite because you're calling me out for "pissing and moaning" when you did it first, and over something you didn't watch. Yes, you said it seemed like it was going to suck, I will give you that, but what was the point of posting about it? You don't want to watch it, then don't acknowledge it. But you went out of your way to poorly complain about something you didn't have to, which is "a can of worms" for leaving yourself open to attack from others.
What I am saying is not that complicated to get. I understand what you're saying, that you don't like the TGWTG stuff in general but you could have simply said that or, "I think I will skip this" but instead opted for a grotesquely unintelligent comment that adds no merit or serves any purpose. On top of that, it's not something you had to pay to see at all. You're acting like someone dragged you to the theatre to watch this by the way you first commented when that's not the case.
By the way, I have watched Cheap. It has its problems and suffers from quite a bit of bad acting and poor framing of "action" as it were, but overall, I liked it. But I like this too.

FHHO, as to the 'bad' acting of those involved, NEWSFLASH. It isn't fucking Shakespeare. 'Kickassia' was phenomenally goofy, and it knew that. The acting was SUPPOSED to be over the top and 'bad', because it wasn't taking itself seriously. Same for 'Suburban Knights'. It's ridiculous, and it knows it. If there were serious acting, you would probably accuse it of being pretentious.
Reply to this
As much as I hate to get into it, this really isn't an excuse, especially when you consider the fact that some of the cast members are genuinely decent actors and seem to put forth real effort. Some people just can't act, and productions like this make it painfully obvious. Rather than saying "it's okay, you aren't SUPPOSED to be a good actor!" you should at least offer some constructive criticism. I know it's hard to when some contributors are breathing down your neck looking for any negativity, but criticism is a good thing, trust me on that.
Secondly, as much as I enjoy purposely silly and over the top performances, this really isn't a great excuse for this particular production. I mean, do you think movies like, I dunno, Thankskilling or Zombie '90 and the like were supposed to be Shakespearean? Didn't stop Phelous from Brad from tearing into them and pointing out the bad acting, and rightfully so, they're terribly acted. It's really hard to take excuses like this seriously when the entire cast of this thing makes a living off ripping apart poorly acted, poorly written, generally bad media. (Don't take that the wrong way, I do like a lot of the people involved here.)

and I don't give a fuck if this or Bitchassia was meant to not be taking seriously it still fuckin sucked

But you give enough of a fuck about it to complain about your free internet entertainment. Really, do you think whining like a little bitch will make the big bad cross-overs go away? Probably not. If you hate it, don't fucking watch it. Hell, you probably didn't watch it. Fuck off, troll.

B.) He's a talented internet actor who poses this way for a rise out of others.
...or perhaps a little bit of both.
You be the judge.

It's B of course. He's obviously not serious. He says he doesn't care if others hate him and yet he replies to each and every person who hates him. Though he is acting, he certainly isn't talented. Little boys in video game chat rooms can do far better.

Well that was bad.
Better than kickassia but that's like saying getting kicked in the balls is better than getting stabbed in the balls.

I love the first part. I was wondering how you guys would top Kickassia (which topped the first year movie), but you seem to have done it.
Also @ Fuck her head off: If you didn't care about what people thought, you wouldn't be responding. I also don't believe you went to college. I frankly don't believe you are more than 15 (no offense to the other 15 year olds out there). Not trying to feed the troll, but I just wanted to add my 2 cents to this.

Wow, I have to say that I'm really disappointed to come on this comments page see how overwhelmingly negative many people's reaction is to this. It's not like you're having to pay for a ticket to see a terrible movie, these guys aren't asking for any money, if you don't think you're going to like it then just don't watch it.
I feel bad that Linkara has to come on here and defend it against people who are unfairly giving it shit for no reason other than apparent fanboyism.

Nah, don't worry about it. Most of it is the same guy who doesn't know when to let up, or is just trying to stir up trouble because he gets off on disrupting the comments of a video site devoted to making fun of porn spoofs and exploitation films.
You know - a loser.

Hey, it's back. It does care! How very touching. With an abortion insult no less. Come on, troll. That barely counts as offensive, not when it comes from a little bitch like you. It even tried to call out somebody else for being immature. That's not ironic, since it's to be expected. Your feelings are hurt, troll. I like that.
Reply to this
Most of your replies have been the same arguments over and over again with a few things re-worded. I think we understand all of your points by now.
You seem to be angering everyone which, in turn, is angering you. Why don't you just take a break from all of this flame war nonsense and go watch some Cinema Snob or a movie you actually enjoy? It'll be a much better use of the time you've spent being angry and redundant.

1: "Fuck Her Head Off"? How about "Shoot Your Head Off", you annoying prick! Go kiss Mariotehplumber's ass, you insolent Troll.
2: There's a saying:
"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth". Don't be overly judgemental of something that is free. Either enjoy it for what it is, or move on to something "professional", you elitist pig!
3: You realize that, being the Internet, anything you leave in your comments stays there forever, right? Now everyone can see how much of a moronic douche you are, and you can't hide it. With that said:
Congratulations, moron! You have failed the Internet. What are you going to do next?
4: And for the love of Eru, learn how to use proper punctuation beyond the occasional question and exclamation marks! There are period and comma keys on your keyboard. USE THEM!
Thank you.

You know, the anniversary films are fun; but it's even more fun in the comment section of reviewers sites because of so much rage, I'm not going to say trolling I'm going to say rage, because that's what FHHO is giving off. We understood what you were saying but it doesn't mean we have to agree and it doesn't mean we have to be silent either, you could've simply stated "You know I'm going to be in the minority but I don't like this sorry not going to watch" instead you drop expletives and change your mind every two seconds.
But hey if you're having fun I'm not going to stop ya. I for one enjoyed this and thought it showed a marked improvement over last years, though I'm in the minority on alot of these things

If I was coming off as one, I'm sorry, I tried to be civil for the most part, but it's difficult to even take him seriously (and yet in return he wants us to take him seriously) when he can't form proper sentences and then feels he's justified in making a comment in all-caps.

Aww, the troll thinks that lying about its age will give its statements validity. And it still misses the point completely. We heard you, troll. You think it looks bad, so you won't see it. You've said it, now you can fuck off, because I'm tired of hearing your tasteless comments, and I'm tired of hearing your honest opinion over and over again. You're boring me, troll. You really are.

*Sigh* If you're going to insult me at least use proper grammar. *Wow (this should be capitalized, as it is in the beginning of a sentence), *coming, *don't(an apostrophe is needed. This is a contraction. this was used 3 times), *I am (I should be capitalized always), *a lot (two words), *'cause (or you could spell out the word because, either way), *won't (again a contraction), *I (needs to be capitalized), *it's (as in it is). I could go back and completely revamp your whole statement, but I feel that would take more time than just fixing these minor things.

Watched it, but not sure i will watch the rest. There were some good jokes, and i really like some of the characters/people involved. But for every character i like, there´s also some i don´t like that much. I´m not really sure i could handle 2 hours of filmbrains character. Would probably have preferred it they had involved fewer people in this project, and focused on the best ones. But then again, everyone has their favourite reviewers.
Reply to this
I think you're onto something. I felt like the pacing was slow and I think this might be why. It would have probably been good with a cast of 5 or 6, with the introductions streamlined. Or if everyone must be there, don't give them all equal screen time. Kickassia did a good job of that. It may not be fair to the actors, but it moves the story along. I understand this is going to be 7(?) parts, but I still think the speed could have been picked up a bit; more stuff could have happened. But overall I was entertained and I smiled at the Goblin King scene.
Reply to this
I think with that Tarantino-esque scene at the beginning and the credits it was bound to be slower in the first part. Perhaps the next videos will be a bit quicker.

Wilson quite frankly I'm sick of hearing your bullshit all I have to say to you is your a piece of shit who needs to fuck off and die and finally someone who makes sense DarthThought I'm just very opinionative and brutally honest and I did not bash this movie I just think it looks awful so therefore I'am not watching it and like I said gave Kickassia a chance thought it was terrible I have much respect for Brad & Lupa(also Angry Joe I like forgot about him before)though I just don't find anyone else on that site besides them funny their the only 3 I watch and enjoy it's all about out personal preferences

Brutally honest. That's a way of putting it. Come on, you've been saying the same thing again and again. We heard your opinion. You said you didn't care about haters on the internet, but that's horseshit. You come back whenever someone calls you out for being such an insufferable prick. Linkara actually replied to you as if you were a human being. You don't deserve that, troll. You really don't.

Dude, honestly calm down go outside and hit a bong relax and listen to the music that your name comes from, you don't have to constantly reply to everything that's being said.
Trust me I understand it's your opinion you've gotten that well and enough out respect for sayin it and all but enoughs enough man you're dropping the F bomb every few minutes I mean I'm enjoying watching this cause well this happens every big crossover people get into fights things get uncivilized feelings are hurt we all step back sleep and forget about it.
The fact is you keep coming back and that's why you're being called a troll because it seems like you're hitting F5 ever two minutes.
And actually Linkara did handle himself very well, he understood your differing opinions he just doesn't like curse words or prolific use of them so he lost his head
You're hurting your case more than helping it by being here still

Count the posts, troll. You've been going on long before I've replied to your comments. In fact, I find your comments to be hilarious, if only because you try so hard. I'll say it again, I don't hate you because you criticized it, I hate you because you say the darndest things.
"your the obnoxious prick"
I love how you recycle my insults, or try to.

First you only liked Brad and Lupa. Then, you liked Brad, Lupa, and Joe. Now, you like Brad, Lupa, Joe, and Spoony? Each time you reply, you say that now those are the only ones you like. At least, you seem to keep your thoughts on Doug the same. Also, the grammar and sentence structure is physically hurting me. I understand not all of us are great with grammar (my weakness just happens to be math), but for someone who claims to have graduated, you sure act like you are still in high school. As Linkara has already stated, it's one thing to not like it or to leave civil criticizing comments, but it is a whole other thing to be a douche. That's my last thing to say to you and, unlike you, I will actually stick to that.

I love how every TGWTG crossover vid is full of pointless bile.
No one can tell you to like other reviewers, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
That being said, this is Brad's site and they are his FRIENDS. If you don't like something, feel free to not watch them. The videos shown aren't based on your own desires, and never will be.

So... yeah... crazy stuff going on this discussion.
Rule of theater folks: "Yelling is neither intensity nor is it emotion; it's yelling."
Same thing goes for the internet gang. If you have to "yell" comments (i.e. use all caps to convey your opinion), throw around swearwords after every other word, insult other people viciously and wish death on them or just generally cannot conduct yourself with a level of maturity, self-control or intellegent thought, then congratulations; your opinions mean nothing and should be ignored by the rest of humanity. Thank you for wasting our time.
That being said: Brad, you and the rest of the Channel Awesome should be very proud of what you're doing. It looks like you all have had a lot of fun filming, and I for one am taking great amusement by what you've all put together and can't wait to see what you guys do next.
Also, out of curiosity: Do you and the other Channel Awesome reviewers ever get together and compare angry discussion board comments? Maybe give prizes to the reviewer who has the most obnoxious or idiotic comments or longest lasting troll fights? Cause if so, I think you may have won with this discussion thread. Congrats!
And to everyone else remember: Don't feed the Trolls. They'll just follow you home and keep you up all night with your bitching.

FHHO, I like how you stand your ground even when insults and name-calling start to begin flying your way. Rather than caving in to the bullies, you show that mob mentality brings more harm than good. Everyone can have a different opinion but that disappears once you log onto the Internet.

I love all the f-n' drama about these Channel Awesome movies - they did it for a lark, people! So far, this is looking a little better than Kickassia: was it acting lessions* or better writing, or maybe because they weren't out in the desert?
* I'm not counting Brad - he knows how to get into character, and how to act to a camera.
Reply to this
allow me to offer some non-troll criticism on part 1:
I didn't like the plot, because it made no sense. It doesn't really matter if that was the point because then the point was to make something that didn't appeal to me. The idea of getting rich off a gauntlet nobody's ever heard of would never work. expendable 90's guy and the trenchcoat retro's scene went on for too long. I know you're trying to set something up, but part of doing so is making your audience care about the characters, which didn't happen - one was expendable and the other was a walking 80's scifi cliche. And why did the car explode? The plot didn't even get underway, the entire part was just introduction, and because of that it seemed to drag on for way too long. I kept waiting for this EPIC QUEST to begin and it was basically a 30 minute opening credits sequence.
In Kickassia, I thought the cinema snob had the best performance. Some of this is stuff you can't help (he's got a really good natural voice for film, unlike a lot of TGWTG people) and some of it you can (he's actually got half decent acting chops, while people like say the nostalgia critic are so hammy and overact so hard it loses all humor.) He's still tops in this, as well. The cinema snob's got a cool subtlety that you don't see much on TGWTG (Though lupa also surprised me a bit in that regard.) Speaking of subtlety, Phelous's performance in kickassia was hilarious specifically because it was downplayed - him not being a raving lunatic does not suit him and is not entertaining to watch. Also, I especially hate seeing Spoony nowadays because once in a while, a glimmer of old spoony will shine through in his performance, and old spoony is somebody i miss dearly. Ma-ti was another kickassia bright spot for me, as his "I'm Ma-ti. From Captain Planet" delivery was glorious. But in this, it's just a cheap failed gag as bargo winks at the camera, basically saying "Hey guys, remember that only good joke we did last year? that was great, wasn't it????" As for everybody else, they were just sort of bland and mediocre, just as they were in kickassia.
I know it's free entertainment. And I understand the concept of "if you don't like it, don't watch it." But those two things shouldn't stop me from offering constructive criticism (which I believe I have.) I wanted this to be good, in my opinion it wasn't, and if I can do anything to make your upcoming efforts better, I feel that doing so is worthwile.
Anyway, that's all.
Reply to this
As civil and mature this response was, expect some form of backlash because "you can't critique about free entertainment" and mob mentality is prominant in the TGWTG world.
I, myself, am not against you. I am just saying be on your guard.

LOL! Linkara can't grow a beard?
WOW! LOL! I would be ashamed if it were me. Don't know how he can publicly admit that.
I like how a guy named Fuck Her Head Off - who isn't writing particularly well (no offense FHHO)- is being the most reasonable one here.
Whats that guys? You're suggesting your bunch of loud, obnoxious 'critics' should be held without criticism because the entertainment is 'free'. A movie's worth is not dictated by its cost to the viewer, in fact usually somethings worth impacts its monetary value. The fact that this is free goes a long way to underline why it isn't a movie.
Flowtac and Linkara can engage in whatever intellectual dishonesty they please; at the end of the day a movie must stand by its own merits. You can't pretend that "it's just for the fans" is any sort of valid justification for poor quality. Accept that not everyone will like what you do and work to improve.
Linkara, you're supposed to be a professional, perhaps if you stop behaving like a child your beard will grow.
Reply to this
That's a bit, mean spirited, FHHO was being a bit of a dick with his opinion and horribly Inconsistent with it. Linkara responded in a reasonable manner that was basically to point out that it isn't perfect, we're all just a bunch of people trying to have fun, so no need to be an ass.
And no one here suggests they shouldn't get criticism, your problem with that is camera lady right above your post is an INTELLIGENT criticism. Or constructive criticism in critic speak.
And I'd like to point out the confusing statement of how it's price is equated to it being a movie. Because if I download a movie for free, is it no longer one? If I borrow it from a friend, is it no longer one? Or how about getting a free movie token from a rental store? Or could it mean you think this project lacks a budget? It's kind of confusing, because looking up the word movie, it's definition says nothing of a monetary value.
Sorry if this is getting a bit rambly, but so much I could go on about. So I'll finish up quickly:
1.) I enjoyed Kickassia, for all it's faults I had fun watching it.
2.) I enjoyed the first part of Suburban Knights, I can't wait to see where it goes.
3.) I can't grow a proper beard either, you dick.
Okay, that was a bit uncalled for, but at least i saved the personal insult to the end of it instead of being an ass up fround about it.
Reply to this
Why must criticism be 'constructive'?
The people who simply say:
"this sucked", "stop"; they keep you grounded. Trust me, they're as important as people who tell you how to improve. Besides, these guys are movie reviewers. They shouldn't need constructive criticism from casual internet passers by for christ sake. Think before you speak.
As for the worth thing, if you don't understand market economics thats not my fault. There's plenty of stuff on the internet I can link to. I never said getting stuff for free means its not worth money, I merely said that it implies that. A subtle but important difference.
You enjoyed Kickassia, that explains why you can't grow a beard then. I have nothing against 12 year olds. Linkara however is a 12 year old in the body of a 'man'.
How does 'saving the insult for the end' not make you a dick, you dick.
Reply to this
No, I mean saying this sucked it different then going "All of you suck, how dare the one person I like hang around with these people." It's really the amount of hatred towards a bunch of people just having fun that I dislike. because actually "This sucks" is constructive, in it's own right. Being overly hateful isn't, which FHHO comes off as being. Since FHHO openly admits to not having seen the video, refuses to see the video and is here purely to bash the video, it's neither a "You suck" or something intelligent, it's a "I hated Kickassia and most of TGWTG, so how dare (enter person here) be apart of either" kind of post.
Actually, my entire point of the money bit is that monetary value has nothing to do with something being a movie. Since a movie is independent of money. A movie is nothing more than moving pictures. hence the term MOVIE, which is in the same vein as a TALKIE. If I need to explain talkie, then never mind, not worth my time an effort. See, you didn't imply it wasn't worth money, you implied that it wasn't really a movie, subtle difference.
And it's still nice that I can take pleasure from something means I'm of a set age group. I can enjoy things that aren't good. Surprisingly enough that happens. I love Bruce Campbell movies, but lord I will never protect them as quality films.
And I am a dick. I am well aware of that, but at least I'm not insulting someone because of genetics. Which if I have to explain that as well...well it's not worth my time and effort.
Reply to this
Heh, I really should try and not write these things out of order, cause I hate reusing phrases like "it's not worth my time and effort" it sounds kind of, cheap. Oh and I forgot the d in the first time I use it so it should be time AND effort. Forgot to capitalize the H in hence in the previous sentence.

I was only joking, you're clearly not a dick.
Not being able to grow a beard isn;t necessarily due to genetics. Testosterone levels have been proven to be possible to effect via engaging in certain activities. Sitting on your ass reading comics isn't among them.
Actually people jumped on him before he started being openly rude. I think you're being more than a little biased. He suggested TGWTG crew stick to what they;re good at instead of making these movies. That's constructive. Linkara childishly going off at him and attacking his writing abilities is when things became personal.
you're trying to argue semantics over the 'movies worth' issue. Money is obviously a key component of film making. If you can't intuitively understand that, then there's really not much I can say to you.
The fact you're implying I don't know things, before that has been established, demonstrates how eager you are to catapult yourself into a position of superiority. I don't have to be ignorant or an idiot to disagree with you.
Reply to this
I hate myself for doing this, and by that I mean disregard my previous post about walking away, but just about everything I do is argue semantics. It's one of my traits. If only because I find the English language to be funny in how subtle and easily lead astray by simple misunderstandings of sentences.
Other than that, I'm sorry for coming off as arrogant or superior, it was not my intention, and I can agree that one post of FHHO was fine, but the continual bickering was pointless, and it made FHHO come off as more dis-likable than the others. In my opinion, of course.
And I fully admit I'm biased. I happen to like a lot of the people on TGWTG, Linkara among them, and to me he seemed intelligent. I've seen him defend people who give negative comments on his own website as well as others, so I know it really isn't because of the negativity.
So I'm going to end this as best I can. I am a dick, an asshole, and a lot of other things, I accept that. I am a devil's advocate, I argue semantics for my own entertainment, and I will bitch to just bitch. I have an opinion, and I'm stubborn as a mule. Hopefully I've made myself clear, and I can stick to my own promise of just walking away.
To be incredibly honest, I probably won't. I'm also an argumentative bastard as well.

The problem with FFHO was he hadn't watched SK, and had no actual comments on it. If he wants to still take shots at Kickassia a year later, there's better places then the comment section of something unrelated.
Reply to this
Well, I'll be honest, I thought it was pretty bad (I still plan to watch part 2 so I can see if some problems get fixed). I won't toss the acting down because I get the feeling that's how everyone was directed and I have seen most everyone act well in other vids so I won't hold it against them. However, the effects were pretty bad (the blood effect and explosion specifically). They looked really poor and the only reason I bring it up is because I've seen other producers have similar effects that looked a LOT better (plus, there are plenty of guides on making squibs and a little creativity could keep the car clean from it).
Still, what bothered me more was the jokes. "Mazes and Monsters" for instance. When Spoony made his review, it was partially retrospective on what it was like to be a DnD player back in the day but here, it feels really out of date (which might have been the joke but it still wasn't funny), I mean, nowadays DnD is more accepted than ever and I don't think a Chicago news station would even know what the hell MaM is, it's just a reference joke that falls flat. Also, "President had been shot" jokes have been done a lot better...but I digress. The Dildo down Jew Wario's pants was another joke that I groaned at. I mean, why couldn't it have been played subtler? You know, a sock in his pants or a shot of the cast collectively looking down at his crotch without showing a crotch shot? I mean, i like the David Bowie costume but the fake dick ruins the joke. Instead of looking like people are falling for a Jareth cosplay, it looks like they want him cause he's hung like a horse...almost a tad misogynistic (okay, maybe not but it's still a bad joke). Also, was anyone really begging for Mah-ti to show up? Bhargav had made appearances as himself on videos and been a lot funnier as the guy who thinks of crazy ideas, so couldn't he have just shown up as himself?
Also, a vilain who hates technology? really? isn't that villain type played out by now? Also, how come Phelous, who is known for his deadpan, crazy in this? And wasn't the line "or your fired" a bit uncomfortable considering that several producers left TGWTG (yeah, Apollo left for his own reasons and the others hadn't updated in a long time but couldn't that line have been changed since a lot of redubbing had to be done anyway?). Finally, it felt like scenes could have been shortened or cut down.
I'm still glad the special happened cause there were several crossover vids that I enjoyed but "Suburban Knights" part 1 just wasn't very good.
Oh, and to everyone saying "it's free entertainment" I can point to a lot of vids on tgwtg that were done on free things (Sage's Fanfic theater, for example) plus, by that logic, things like Sonic-chu should never be criticized or hated. Look, if it's made public, we have every right to criticize it.
Still, like I said, I am going to watch part 2 to see if it gets better (cause I do like most of the producers).

I would actually love to see a more serious movie from TGWTG rather than a comedy. Something dramatic or something similar. We know that you all can do comedy based on the following that you have on your site and we all know that a lot of the best actors are the ones that can do good comedy. So I would love to see what you can do with the other genres of film. Just a thought.

Well that was...okay. Definitely easy to hear the differences in audio and I kind of wish they'd put something on the windows to cut down on the excessive light, but it's a decent (if perhaps little long) start to their story.

I am enjoying it so far. It has it's high and low point, mainly being my like and dislike for certain TGWTG characters. I will say that from the first 30 minutes, it is a far better than Kickassia, but I can't really fault them for getting a motley crew of actors together and going out on a limb to produce a video where they all get to have fun and being a little ridiculous. I think Mel Brooks said it best, "With the birth of the artist came the inevitable after-birth..... The Critic." No matter how good or bad you/your movie is, there will always be someone there to support and someone to condemn it. I personally enjoy the Snob, Linkara, NC, and Spoony as my favorites from TGWTG, and a few other characters who I only really enjoy during crossovers and what-not. I hope you guys keep going and that we can see many more years of Anniversary movies.

Tepid thank you! in no way was I trying to be a dick I never bashed Suburban Knights I saw the trailer on YouTube days ago and just thought "ugh this is probably gonna be as retarded as Kickassia" so therefore me thinking Kickassia sucked I chose not to watch this video and I will not be watching Suburban Knights as Kickassia turned me off from their movie projects, Brad's movies however I enjoyed Cheap is actually 1 of my all time favorite movies and I've seen it numerous times even Brad said himself of all the movies he's done he's most proud of Cheap anyway I don't wanna go off topic but my point is some people hate Cheap and I don't fucking assault them for it cuz I don't care it's all about personal preference/taste anyway we all mistakes excuse me for any typos or inconsistency I was just annoyed and typing overly fast hours ago cuz it seemed alot of people couldn't handle criticism/me not liking what they like and to be consistant I've actually found The Cinema Snob in '08 not '09 that was a typo and have been very inspired by Brad as far as the rest of the TGWTG crew Lupa is funny and entertaining so I watch Brad and her vids on a regular basis and I watch Joe & Spoony time to time and as I said I love Doug as The Nostalgia Critic I'm just not a fan of his acting in these movies everyone else on that site is just not entertaining or funny TO ME but I highly respect and support the one's I mentioned so thats all from me and I mean it this time lol just wanted to say something after seeing Trepid's comment again thank you

I love it so far. The troll obviously has no taste in movies. His favorite one is most likely Dinoshark. As far as the TGWTG crew goes, I enjoy Doug, Linkara, Brad, Lupa, NChick. I barely watch the others but movies/events like this give them a chance to appeal to new audiences, new viewers. Hell I had no clue who these people were until last year when I came across Kickassia. Its fun, and its for the fans, and it's sad mr.troll with a stupid name you don't even watch it, these guys work tooth and nail to provide some joy and entertainment and you berate them without anything to go on. Brad, Linkara you guys are great, keep on doing what you do, you bring joy and laughter always to me on a bad day. Thank you.

Well, aside from Phelous' and couple of other dudes horrendous acting, it was a perfectly decent start to the show. Needs more Brad though
Reply to this
Someone earlier mentioned how if someone doesn't like something they shouldn't watch it. Well I think that's unfair, how are we supposed to know if we don't like it unless we watch it. I don't think it's unfair to say why we didn't like it afterwards...maybe it will make for a stronger product next time?
So far I'm not really enjoying because I don't like how hammy everyone is doing their performances and I think so many of these jokes need to be played subtly. I don't feel too strongly about the need to cut to people acting confused when somebody acts dumb. That's where you let the audience put their thoughts in and I think it shows a lack of trust on the director and writers part towards their audience to assume they need to be shown what the reaction should be.
I don't mean to be overtly negative. I just wanted to put my two cents in. Maybe it will help one person somewhere. I dunno.

Guys, please. This 'Tepid' guy is obviously FHHO under a different name. The writing style is the same.
The issue with the aforementioned fuckwad is not that he doesn't like the movie. Fine. No problem. There is plenty of crap I don't like. So, I don't watch it, and I don't feel the need to bitch about and bash it every moment, which FHHO has been doing from the beginning. Instead of offering constructive criticism, breaking down exactly why he doesn't like it, he bashes the entire project, and basically complains that how DARE his favorite reviewer work with the people who he, the reviewer, doesn't like. Maybe Brad considers them his friends, and maybe he had fun making this movie, and that's all that matters.
FHHO bitches about the acting and how bad it is, and then when it is pointed out to him that the acting is probably supposed to be intentionally bad, as that's part of the fun, and a way the movie shows that it does not take itself seriously but is all in goofy fun, he then says that doesn't matter. So, if the acting doesn't matter, then why bring it up at all? Just to have some bullshit to bitch about? This is way said internet fuckwad (FHHO, to be exact) has no credibility and is regarded as a troll.
Reply to this
Nah, we're not the same person.
We actually have quite different writing styles, I take it you only read one of my comments.
The acting is bad, saying "we intended it to be", doesn't make it any more enjoyable. This is basic stuff.
"There is plenty of crap I don't like. So, I don't watch it" Then how do you know you don't like it?
Saying "Stop doing this, you're bad at movies, stick to what you know" is constructive. Things don't magically become malicious and trolling when you disagree with it.
There will always be people who say "I'm not going to watch it because its going to be shit". They're perfectly justified. I haven't seen any Twilight movies, because I know I won't like them, and I don't automatically exclude myself from discussion about the movies based on that. You can't possibly expect to fight back all "trolls", so just chill out and either ignore them or talk to them. Don't just call them names like a child.

Don't tell me I need to post the YouTube clip of Jules Winnfield telling the bitch to calm down in "Pulp Fiction". Just because Brad doesn't have a lot of lines now doesn't mean he won't later on.

As far as this years special goes, I'm not too impressed.
Some Jokes worked knda well, but most of them felt flat and the overall theme of this years special is not that appealing.
maybe I watch it till the end, but that will depend on how part two will play out.
As for what has been going on here in the comments:
Jesus guys, what is wrong with you?
Even if FHHO is a Troll, most of you failed on the first rule of handling them: Don't feed them.
Nearly everyone posting here talks on and on on how bad Trolls are and all that jazz, but on the other hand none of you misses the chance on throwing insults and whiteknightening this video.
If Trolls are meant to be ignored then do just that, instead of pushing your own ego on the fact that you "uncovered" a Troll.
Also, commenting on such a video shouldn't end up in an essay, if someone just wants to write "don't like it" he should have the right to do so.
As for the free entertainment thing:
As someone stated, if that would count no one would have the right to criticize Sonichu or anything else equally bad, as long as it's free.
As for the "don't like it don't watch it:
As long as you haven't watched a video, at least to a certain degree, you can't say if you're liking it or not.
I can't say that I don't like tuna if I never had some.
What brings me to one certain point of hypocrisy.
FHHO got flag for saying she doesn't like it although she never saw it, but on the other hand people pray down that you shouldn't watch it if you don't like it. Doesn't make much sense does it?
As for Linkara:
Jesus man, I rarely ever saw you comment on any of Brads vids, but the moment something gets critized in wich you took part and there you are, defending yourself.
That's just sad.
But enough of that comment mumbo jumbo.
All I have left to say is, that you guys should consider making brakes between specials, longer than just a year.
The first anniversary was understandable, one year existence of that page was a little milestone, but doing it every year is overdoing it a little bit.
Marriages also have a cycle in wich they are celebrated, I'm no expert but I think it goes something like 1,5,10,25,50 or so.
Consider doing something in that direction, just to keep the whole thing fresh and less selfworshipping.
But after all, it's just an oppinion and idea and should be nothing to make a fuss about.
Greetz, Ixodid

Trolls can be fed, as long as we're cool with the consequences. Linkara admittedly fed the troll for a chance to treat the little bitch like a child and carefully explain to him what a bad boy he's been. Linkara cared far less than the troll, in fact, Linkara didn't care at all.
"Also, commenting on such a video shouldn't end up in an essay, if someone just wants to write "don't like it" he should have the right to do so. "
You just wrote one. And he has every right to say he didn't like it, we have every right to call him out for being such a prick while saying it. It's fine that he didn't like it, but if he makes comments suggesting others should commit suicide and comments that include abortion for attempted shock value, you can expect the rest of the internet to tear him a new asshole. For fun.
"That's just sad."
He's defending his pals, I would too. And he's doing it in a way that amuses or benefits him in some way. As for your opinion on the anniversaries being too much for a yearly thing, if they want a big end of the year party, they'll make one, they have fun doing it and they've had fun for the previous years they've done it. Why stop now?

I don't prepare walls of text for the occasion that I "don't care".
Yeah, I wrote one, because I wanted to.
Not having to doesn't mean that I can't, right?
The sad thing is that he does it over such a small comment.
The initial commoent by FHHO and I'm am not definden his/hers behavior in any way, was a rather harmless "bleh this sucks" and only went on a tangent ofter Linkara rang to the trollhunt.
It's silly to make a fuss about one provocative opinion by one person.
And even more sad is, that such defending oby other TGWTG members only occurs, when the video in question involves themselves.
Or questionable staff picks, but that#s a whole other story.
As for the yearly "big end of the year party":
As far as I care they can meet up every year for a weekend and get shitfaced, that's their private pleasure.
But doing a Video for it is something else.
Things tend to get stale if you do them too often and this will be no exception, it already declines in quality, at least in my opinion.
Taking some brakes would give everybody the chance to gather some ideas and resources and then create something that truly surpasses that what was in the past.
At the moment it feels more like they have to, insead of they want to and that's an uncomfartable situation all around.
Reply to this
It doesn't seem like they do it because they have to, if they stopped now, there would be far less complaining to deal with. The fact that they continue to make these videos regardless of complaints shows that this is something they probably want to do.
You may think this is getting stale, but they mix it up and do new things each year.
I'm personally enjoying it, though I do dislike the fourth wall breaking.
"And even more sad is, that such defending oby other TGWTG members only occurs, when the video in question involves themselves."
I've seen Linkara jump in when he himself isn't in the video. Take for example the Lupa and Snob review of the Asylum's Sherlock Holmes.
If you're wondering why the defense appears in cross-over videos, that's where the most complaints appear.

First off, I like most of the roles and costumes a lot. Brad is a great Indiana Jones, Jew Wario is spot on and the part with Handsome Tom was just ridiculously awesome. The humor is good, although it was hit and miss for some parts.
But what is wrong with the audio? The changes in volume and ambience are very distracting. Also the editing seems a little rushed. Doug really should have put an extra week into this to polish it up. I want to like it but the technical flaws somehow destroy a lot of the experience. I hope this are just initial problems and the next parts will improve in quality.
Reply to this
Please tell me MarzGurl will not be speaking Japanese throughout the whole thing... her pronounciation is gonna drive me nuts if she does...
Overall though, this seems like good, harmless fun thus far, really not sure what all the complaints are about. Sure, the whole movie is made for fans, but I don't really see anything wrong with that; just because a movie or some other form of media has a select audience doesn't make it bad, just less profitable... which doesn't really apply here.
The plot does seem a lot more contrived than Kickassia though (and that was already pretty contrived), so personally I think it might have been a better idea to just start off with the characters in costume, rather than going ahead with yet another Nostalgia Critic ruse to get people involved.

Linkara, you are using your notoriety and status to bully people. Back off and stop being such a dick. Hard to believe you command any respect with such a snotty attitude.
FHHO made completely valid points in my opinion and I agree with him. I see it time and time again with all producers on the site and it's high time people started calling you all out on it. The lack of enthusiasm, the laziness, and the poor production values. That fits this 'movie' to a "T". It's the same exact crap you all do in your nit-picking sessions(reviews) and you think it's a work of art because your fanboys eat it up.
You keep on spouting crap like "If you don't like it, don't watch it!" How about "If you want people to like your work, make sure it isn't a piece of shit!"?

Ok, I notice a trend here.
Despite people pointing out how it is ok to simply say something sucks or it is ok to watch something you know you may not like but not okay to just verbally attack/abuse for the sake of it, people in defense of FHHO (who I personally believe are pretty much FHHO in disguise and/or his friends) keep ignoring these facts and just hone in on "Oh look how they are ganging up on FHHO" despite this is a guy who decided to start crap with me even though I didn't specifically name him or single him out in the first comment, and he had the audacity to be surprised/angry when I called him out on it. He should not start a fight as it were if he didn't want to deal with this.
But I digress.
Like I said, before, you can dislike this film if you want. But it is extremely pointless & childish to pretty much attack those involved with a project as a whole (while taking potshots at previous projects they were involved in) especially when the video he is commenting on has not been viewed by him. That's why he got attacked. Not because he doesn't like the idea of it.

ClemensTheMenace, I can see how Film Brain would grate on you with the way he is directed.
I say directed because he does not normally act/behave that way in his own videos/crossovers. But it seems since Kickassia, they developed this character idea for him in the Anniversary films where he is this over-enthusiastic and very excitable worshipper of the Nostalgia Critic. While I do find it kind of amusing, it is also awkward and I can see how it would bother other people.
But I must say, I love the bit where he squashes the coffee cup. The expression on his face was priceless, like he just progressed into the next level of becoming a sociopathic serial killer.

I like to consider myself an unofficial sequel to The Cinema Snob. Yes, I am doing a Brad impression, and I based my character off of the earlier Snob videos, but who cares if I'm a ripoff? Some people seem to like it. I don't know if Brad's ever seen it though.

Reply to this
Yeah, it's bad. Not to commit the apparent sin of referencing other films in this group's body of work, but it's just as bad as Kickassia before it. The production quality is terrible at a level that reduces my ability to enjoy other aspects of the film, which is not excusable. The acting is, as usual, hugely uneven and the cast is clogged with deadwood. The jokes are tired "Nerdery 101" bullshit and the memes were stale years ago. Try something else next year guys, seriously. This formula has become just that, a formula, and it's really played out. And don't give me that crap about free entertainment and immunity to criticism; I know you're taking in Blip revenue for this and I know you're going to sell it on DVD. It's a professional product made by people who do this for a living. If you can't man up and take unfiltered criticism, exactly what the hell are you doing on the internet?
Also, what a treat it was to see company spokesman Lewie Lovhaug rear his head from behind the customer service desk to smack down the haters. Tell me Lewis, do you do these PR tours on your own initiative or has Channel Awesome tasked you with policing comments sections for opinions you don't like? Either way, do us all a favor and shut the fuck up you arrogant asshole. You and all the other big-headed producers at CA have officially descended to the level of Uwe Boll with your hyperdefensive resistance to criticism. How fucking ironic is that?

Don't lump Brad in with the other performers who can't take criticism. If Brad had a problem with criticism, half of these comments, including yours, would have been deleted. His site is the only tgwtg site that doesn't hide criticism.

I find it fascinating that you and a few other people have stated that I cannot abide any criticism whatsoever when I've already said here and on Spoony's comments that I applaud CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and that people are free to dislike it if they so choose.
I just don't think FHHO has said anything of value whatsoever other than "I don't like it even though I haven't watched it in order to determine if I actually like it or not."
Reply to this
Wait, you want him to watch it now? What happened to "don't like it, don't watch it?"
Reply to this
I have never endorsed "don't like it, don't watch it." It's not a good defense, especially for people like me who review awful media.
In the end, reviewing comes down to a customer giving their feedback for a product, explaining why they liked or didn't like it. However, you can't give a review for something you didn't watch. If someone watches one of my videos and says they dont like it - that's fine, it's an informed opinion based on their own experience. It's not as useful to hate something without seeing it. Sure, from a trailer or whatnot you can probably determine if you're going to like it or not, but then just say what you think and move on - don't stick around to repeat the same point over and over and over and over and over and over and over without going into any depth of WHY that point.

Wow, it is both truly funny and sad how many people are missing the point.
Linkara said MANY times in the comments he is not against criticism. What he is against is people who feel the need to attack a work and/or those involved, especially when they hadn't seen it.
In this case, I would happen to agree with him. And the point about them actually selling this on DVD so it's not exactly free entertainment I find a bit moot. You do get to watch it for free first to determine if you like it or not and if you really want to own it as well as get some special features, you can buy it if you want. That's more than I can say for a lot of DTV film distributors such as Full Moon and the like. So yes, you're still getting free entertainment. Does that make it immune to criticism? Of course not. But there is a fine line between criticism and outright disrespect/abuse. FHHO fell into the latter category and decided to pick fights with everyone he could, even if they were replying respectfully to him. He only responded positively to those who sided with him. Doesn't that make him no better than the ones who apparently cannot take any criticism?
Holy hypocrisy in action Batman!

You're probably right and it was wrong of me to add the bit at the end. What occurred to me was that I had written up 2500 characters worth of material and I fully expected the troll to respond with, "tl;dr," so I added a punch at the end. Was it wrong to do so? Probably, yeah, but given their actions in the last 200 comments, I don't think if I had left it off it would have made any difference, anyway.

He can say whatever the fuck he wants, Nancy. If he wants to tell a troll to shut up and he's fine with the fallout, he can do so. He could've been as much as a prick as the troll, but he wasn't. If he had said absolutely nothing, it wouldn't have sent anything at all.
He defended his friends, that's admirable. He made a few comments on the troll's lack of grade school grammar and punctuation, that's fucking tame, Nancy.
Reply to this
Criticism is all well and good, but what people tend to forget on the internet is that people tend to respond better to civility. If you made a second low-budget film and someone called you on the phone or walked up to you in person and said "I disliked your last film and based on the trailer I don't think I'll like your new film," how would you feel and respond? Compare that to how you would respond if the same person said what FHHO and others have said, loudly enough so that everyone around you could hear. It doesn't inspire an attitude of careful consideration, does it? You tend to get what you give in terms of internet comment mood.
For now my impression of SK is "this is incredibly goofy and not always in a good way. I hope the actors had fun making it, because so far I'm not having as much fun watching it as I had hoped." If you would like to hear a more detailed opinion, respond in the comments and I can e-mail you for further discussion.

SteveFromARoughNeighborhood I love you man. Linkara you act like a massive douche you got the right to defend your friends and your work but you immediatly jump on the first negative comment, it's embarasing.
Look at Brad while he does respond to critism or just in general discusion he shows restraint and keeps his dignity. You on the other hand need to learn that not everyone likes your work and even if people are jerks live and let live if they are being jerks for fun they'll get bored.
And surely you can see the hypocracy of professional insulters of films and getting annoyed by people doing the same to you.

Why can't a professional insulter insult his critics? That seems perfectly rational. If you think he'll lose a fan or two, I don't think anyone cares if stop viewing.

dude he's got TGWTG syndrome, none of them can take negative criticism, look at tgwtg website, you ever see a negative comment that wasn't hidden in some way? i like linkara, i like spoony, i like lots of those guys but most of them after joining the site can't take a negative response to anything look at how easily Spoony brought down the ban hammer on his site. or how quickly everyone on tgwtg hushed up that rumor three weeks ago.
.... geeze man you'd think critics could take some negative criticism, in even its most vulgar forms.
Reply to this
That's total crap. I've seen Linkara defend someone who criticised him from people jumping on his case and calling him an asshole and whatnot. Linkara responds to criticism just fine when it's delivered with civility and a modicum of thought.
What FHHO did was the equivelant of someone seeing George Cloony in Attack of the Killer Tomatos then commenting on Syriana by saying they hated AotKT so they're sure Syriana will suck. It's a bullshit non-argument.
Reply to this
Not entirely, Clooney didn´t make or write Attack of the killer tomatoes and it happened a long time away from Syriana. Suburban Knights is one year after Kickassia, written and performed by the same people. If you thought the first one sucked big time, why would you watch the next one? FHHO didn´t really do anything outragous in the first comment imo. But it got way out of hand later on, and that´s not just FHHO´s behaviour, but most of those who responded too.
Reply to this
Because FHHO was so mature in his comments, right Nancy?
All he told the guy to do was shut up which may be seen as childish, depending on your perception. But it sure beats a guy who picked fights with others when they didn't even address him to begin with and goes about assaulting all he can with poor grammar, punctuation caps lock and obscenities while also saying that perhaps they should commit suicide and/or their parents should die & even changing his opinion on other TGWTG contributors, weakening the poor argument he had to begin with.
When compared to that, I don't really see Linkara being out of line. Was it wise to say shut up. Maybe, maybe not. But I personally feel that Linkara's argument/comments have held higher value than someone like FHHO's ramblings.

what i love about the argument above, is no one will get banned or have there comment deleted/hidden just because its negative in some way... like they would on TGWTG
Reply to this
I tried to make it all the way through this, I really did. Especially since it involves people whose content I enjoy on a regular basis (Spoony, Snob, and ToddInTheShadows).
There's been a lot said about the sound issues, special effects, and other technical difficulties, so I won't dwell on them, but suffice to say they were there and noticeable.
Secondly, whenever Phelous or Film Brain is on screen I pretty much was forced to fast forward. It's not that I can't tolerate them as people (I've seen some of their work, and it wasn't bad, just not my thing), so I assume the issue lies with the direction, which, judging by this part, consisted of "Can you act? OK do your thing. Can't? CHEW MAD SCENERY AND EXAGGERATE YOUR 'CHARACTER."
Simply put, reviewing is not acting, the two are only tangentially related due to the ego-driven "requirement" of dramatic, J. Michael Straczynskiesque plot arcs in between people telling me that, yes, whatever they're reviewing does, in fact, suck.
Thirdly, could this get any more meme-driven and insular? That's not a rhetorical question...
Fourthly, does TGWTG pay Linkara to come to every center of discussion that isn't awash in diehard fanboy saliva and spout that nonsense about "free entertainment" (bullshit, anyone's time has worth, and you're getting ad revenue) being immune to any criticism?
Oh, and 10 bucks says that anonymous poster up there calls me a sockpuppet for that inarticulate ragehead so he can put his fanboy blinders back on.

Okay, first of all - I NEVER brought up the free entertainment angle at all. I don't find that to be a legitimate response to criticism and it's equally as invalid an argument as "don't like it, don't watch it."
Secondly, no, I decided to do so of my own volition. See, your comments? They're actual criticism. I don't agree with them, but you came across as civil and you put thought into it. I like reading comments and criticisms, both positive and negative, since it's always the best manner of figuring out how to improve. While it's true my comments here haven't exactly shown as much restraint as one might hope for, my initial reply was meant to merely deconstruct some common arguments I had seen that FHHO was repeating. As I've stated above, I probably should have stopped while I was ahead before the ending bit telling them to shut up.
Anyway, thank you for your thoughts - I appreciate your civility.

I love how if you don't like Suburban Knights you're a troll. Well I say that Linkara is a troll for not liking The Maxx then.
"Oh but he was a characterbloobloobloo!" Really? So he's not serious about what he's saying? Neither are trolls, they just do it for a reaction.
But I am serious. Linkara wrote a huge ass speech over someone not liking the movie, that screams of butthurt and of course people going 'YEAH YOU TELL THAT TROLL!!'
It seems to me a lot of TGWTG fans think that if you dare not like something they do, that you're a troll because you express your opinion, and that it what's wrong with this community.
I am a fan of Cinema Snob because even though he makes 'angry' style reviews, he's admitted to being a fan of trashy movies. The idea that "Well if the movie sucks at least I can be entertained by how bad it is" is a view I share with Brad.
People also say 'can't complain about free entertainment', however people are making money off of this and probably planning to sell a DVD, therefore I believe it's everyone's right to say whether this is good or it sucks, opinions aren't a democracy, just because the majority of the people on TGWTG think this is 'EPUK' doesn't mean it's good, the IMDB reviews of Kickassia are proof of that.
And when some silly fan makes an IMDB for this film, I'm betting people will immediately make comparisons to the comedy in this and the 'comedy' in Seltzer and Friedberg films. All that's been done is overacting and making references to better films, just like the infamous duo themselves.
This is twice you've gotten Butthurt over people criticizing you Linkara, if you can't take critiques like the man you claim you are, then stop making videos criticizing Liefeld of the same thing you're just as guilty of. (By which I mean horrible writing and horrible drawing ability)
For those of you who are going to respond 'TL;DR' even though Linkara also made a lengthy post: Harden the fuck up Linkara.
PS. Brad's expression when he showed up as Indy was the best part of the film.
Reply to this
I think the perspective is that something must reach a certain level of noteriety before it can be rediculed. In this instace, the fact that this is a fan-based satire of said things, means the film makers weren't out to be competitive. Due to this, the audience should digest it with plenty of forgiveness.
But on the other hand, someone pointed out that this is, at the same time, a professional (for profit) endevor. The patron's critique of the artist is not always welcome, but it is natural and often helpful. Some comments here were legitimate production assessments, others obvious trolling. The latter should be ignored and not fed.
I think there is a big overestimation of how important characters are in these productions. The audience should care and grow attached to the reviewer's "character", but they have always been vehicles for the content. I love the Cinema Snob because of the whole package, not just the guy in the chair with no shoes. I like Phelous for similar reasons: the relationship between him and the content being scrutinized. When the characters take a front seat to everything else, a bit of the magic is gone.
Reply to this
Eh, Linkara can say whatever the fuck he wants.
You should probably re-read what has been said. You're not a troll if you express your opinion, you're a troll when you express that opinion with tasteless comments about suicide and abortion. You're a fool if you think no one's going to get pissed at a prick like that.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. Brad should not have friends or do anything with other people. In fact he should live in a cupboard in a state of suspended animation between shows. And yes I still want a dance fool Dance option that makes him do a funny dance on demand.

My two cents:
Brad is the only good actor here and in the other 'movie' Kickassia. Which is entirely my honest opinion, and saying I and others should not do so is like telling Brad and others not to express their honest opinions about various subjects and tell them to constantly provide positive reviews.
Not the way -that- works. People have opinions and stuff y'know.
Reply to this
Melvana, no one has said you should not express your opinion. Again, as has been said REPEATEDLY, you are free to do so civilly all you want. That's fine if you feel that way. Personally, I agree with you, that Brad is the best actor of the bunch.
However, where it crossed the line was where people like FHHO went beyond just stating that they didn't like Suburban Knights, but started insulting the people involved who they were not fans of, as the others have done so. That is where we find issue.
Voice your opinion that something is not to your taste all you want, but do so respectfully and constructively, not by bashing all the reviewers you do not like.

Basically, some jackass decided to be a troll, then Linkara fed him, then a bunch of other people fed him, too. Eventually the troll was fed so much he became huge and bloated and shat out more trolls who in turn demanded to be fed. Some people tried to raise a voice of reason, but it was mostly drowned out by the sound of trolls shitting out more trolls. Eventually, they all ran out of food and died, but there are still some pockets left to be snuffed out.

For anyone who feels that they are allowed to insult or place their POV on something, remember this. These guys went through hell to produce something that many would find a good way to have a chuckle and just enjoy the cheesiness, NOT produce a film that is going to be held upon real film standards. What these guys do is to be entertaining and they work their asses off to do it. I think you can at least show some basic respect by not posting insults or just troll for hte hell of it

they spent 50K on this movie, shut up, that's more money then Brad spent on well... i think any of his movies and id rather watch gameboys then kickassia, its not that i didn't enjoy either just gameboys had rewatchability even though i think its his weakest of his movies
Reply to this
Where do you get that number from? This is an honest question. I've never seen anything of a cost from someone working for CA so I would like to know. Also, you do realise the majority of the budget probably involves actually flying everyone to Chicago. You've got guys in America who can drive yes, but then you've got Mat Buck who has to have his flight both there and back, same for Benzaie, same for Luke and Phelous (Canada) Thats not cheap. Add to that the cost of putting everyone in a hotel and feeding them.
Reply to this
still the cost for all of them reachs about 12k in flight and about 2k in hotels.
I was researching the whole rumor/Apollo debacle and that's where the movie cost came up.
Reply to this
Did you use this same excuse for Birdemic or what have you? I'm sure the crews of many movies that the TGWTG crew has trashed put tons of work into the production and had lots of fun, but I didn't see anyone defending them when people were tearing their movies apart. Why should Doug and crew automatically get respect and a free pass for cheese when you'd be sitting here trashing the movie if it were from someone else and a Channel Awesome member was reviewing it?
I love Brad's work, I love Lupa's work, I think a lot of the people involved with this and Kickassia are generally nice guys and it's a shame to see Linkara's white knighting giving the whole crew a bad name for some people, but they aren't exempt from criticism. Especially when they're guilty of the same things the many movies they trash are. You're making excuses, and really bad excuses at that. I'm sure the more level headed contributors can handle criticism, they don't need you showing off the hypocritical side of their fanbase to defend them.
Reply to this
lol, I plan on doing a video review of the film, but right now I'll reserve judgment.
It has some funny parts and some slow parts. Doug really needs to improve his '1st act' abilities.
But it is what it is, and liking it depends on how much you like the reviewers.

A fun fact about comedy. You like it or not. People have a different sense of humor and there is no reason to criticize for making a bad comedy.

I'm going to bring up Seltzer and Friedberg a lot only because it's funny how people on TGWTG will bash on their films for not knowing comedic timing and then go out and make a movie that's just as bad if not worse than anything Seltzer and Friedberg has made.
Reply to this
Honestly, Brad Jones is the best actor in this. The thing that makes him the best actor is the fact he can act. Everyone else is good to passable.
Linkara's voice makes me want to drive a corkscrew into my ears though. I muted the sound every time he came on screen.
Reply to this
Honestly, it was slightly better than kickassia.
On the downside, it was SLIGHTLY better than Kickassia, which is not saying much.
But don't worry guys, this is only the first part, so i hope it gets better.
Also, why didn't they invited the Rap Critic? him and Brad are probably my favorite reviewers in that TGWTG.

I think this scenerio has alot of potential. I am not sure but it does look like the cast has dropped a bit, I know some people have come and gone, but it does seem smaller to me. I always love these things.
I think my only problem with them in general is usually some characters do not fit as well as others. That said, overall I have liked all the anniversery videos and this does not look like an exception. I really do like the introduction scenes for everyone and their costumes. Just great.

This was a boring segment. Too many in jokes for my taste. Next time you do this crossover thing try and just write a self contained skit, with input from everyone.
Keeping up with "continuity" of everyone is both tedious and unfunny. You all can do better. You've all done better skits to be sure. This isn't good though.
Better luck next time.

Personally the only problem I saw was the audio when it came to the technical side of things. Other than that, the cinematography was top notch, the picture pretty crisp and overall, pretty good on the effects with only real weak ones thus far being the CGI blood squib and the gunshot that hit the wall in the house. Other than that, I thought everything was pretty solid in that regard. Looks better than a lot of the crap The Asylum pumps out for sure.
But yeah, audio is a big problem in this.
Also, I have to say the only jokes making me really cringe were the fourth wall breakers & Ma-Ti. Usually I find Ma-Ti funny but he feels so forced in here.
Reply to this
While it is WAY too early IMO to write this off, it has some problems.
For me, the technical issues were the biggest problem. I think the Cinema Snob should srsly consider snobbing Suburban Knights for those reasons alone. In-character commentary perhaps?! (*crosses fingers and toes*)
While I did expect hammy acting, this was pushing it, and the idea of there being six more 30-minute parts like this? REALLY?! While I really like some people on TGWTG, this contains the kind of stuff the trolls of ED have a field day with (i.e. it not being funny, overrated, etc.).
Of course, Brad was gold (you could almost say *insert joke about Hooker with a Heart of Gold here*), he came across the most natural while everyone else felt out of their element to varying degrees. One of my favorites Phelous suffered the worst, pretty sad because he can be pretty funny. Film Brain tried WAY too hard, it was like he was a serial killer or something!
I was also wishing someone would make a furry joke at The Sage's expense for his get-up.
I kind of liked the opening with the Laurence Fishburne stand-in, it reminded me of that scene in the convenience store ("call it") in No Country for Old Men.
JewWario's Labryinth get-up was pretty hilarious, I must say.

Anyway, I actually liked part 1. And no, I'm not kissing ass; just stating an opinion.
Reply to this
I find it kind of amusing how ridiculous some of the argumentative vitriol can get sometimes for things like this. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not always the biggest fan of some of the story arcs some of the TGWTG reviewers have through their regular videos cause it can kind of feel intrusive to the critical content, however side projects like this are done for pure fun. This isn't a movie you pay money to go to the theater to see, paying extra for shitty 3D on top of that, why bother ranting with such a venomous demeanor about it? It's fine to express you don't like it but if you have nothing intelligent to put on the table in a non-confrontational way, then refrain from speaking with other adults.
That being said I did enjoy Kickassia and I saw that before I was familiar with the work of some of the other reviewers on the site (including Brad actually). This one is shaping up to be even better, I really like the villain so far and generally its fun just to see the personalities I enjoy watching having a good time messing around together on film, scripted or not. It's the kind of thing I enjoyed doing in high school film projects with my friends. Our movies weren't oscar worthy or even as technically impressive as Birdemic but we got a good laugh out of them and so did those that watched it.
I am looking forward to the rest of the series on top of the usual content these guys post.
Reply to this
I did not like this part simply because this was more of a set up part. It was introducing characters, main plot, and some subplots. I hope it will continue in a good manner (not suck balls). I like this because it continues on the insanity that happens every time they come together as a group of critics; from epic fights, to conquering a small country, to LARPing. It is a break from their normal routines to act a fool before going back to reviewing in my eyes.

My my, what a lot of childish bickering over what is basically a glorified home movie!
Once you take it for what it is, though, you can see what a lot of hard work went into it. (Especially if you've ever had anything to do with amateur theatricals yourself - and if you haven't, you just Don't Have A Clue.)
I gather from various commentaries that it was a difficult shoot, with the weather washing out two planned days and making the days on which they could shoot varying degrees of miserable. With those limitations it's surprising that they managed to pull it together as well as they did.
So the acting is very uneven - so what? That's the nature of amateur work. Some people will overact, some will underact, some will hit it "just right", and some will just "be there". That's just how it is. (I was particularly impressed by Mickey's reaction shots when Doug was describing his "problem" to Ma-Ti. Not a word said, but he was clearly coming to a slow boil. Nice work, fella!)
So it's never going to show up on anybody's list of Best Films. Again, so what? Relax, break out some popcorn, and enjoy - or go do something else if you'd rather.
