Channel Awesome hey Doug I love your videos I've been watching them since the review must go on hope u get to one million subscribers and keep up the good work man tell your I said I'm a dinosaur and I'm still a dinosaur I though this movie was wierd it's almost like cool world
you know who should have starred in this movie? Nicholas Cage. That would actually work really well. He can never play a character who seems quite…stable...
You want to know the sad truth behind this, a couple of animations professors I spoke with at the Art Institute in Washington DC said they were collaborating with the Nightmare Before Christmas team on their sequel of The Nightmare Before Christmas. I saw the actual stop motion models for Jack and Sally, myself, and other various props planned to be used, including the mayor's hearse. But the project was scrapped to make way for *this* film.
Red Vanquish Just be glad they did a Game Boy Prequel (TNBC Video Game) and an Xbox Sequel (Oogie's Revenge). It would be interesting to see Jack and Oogie's origins and Oogie's revenge on the big screen though.
My lord, I've finally found it. When I was six, I got up and went to my parents room because I had a nightmare (which was pretty common for me at the time). They let me sleep at the foot of their bed, but instead, I started watching the movie playing on TV. All I could remember was it was about a guy in a coma who went to this scary underworld. It was the source of my nightmares for months, and I still remember it to this day, but I didn't know the title. "Monkeybone". Who'd have thought?
I want to remake this movie, just to actually cast Stephen King as himself, and say that Pennywise stole his body. And then cut to King in the real world, laughing like the clown
Did I say that being a nice guy equals talent? Did I say that he's good at comedy? No. Go stand in the corner and don't come back until you've stopped putting words in people's mouths.
Hostile Popcorn so what exactly are you saying, "Listener Canon?" That he is a nice guy? Nobody cares. We judge actors based on their acting, not how nice they are. Oh wait, that's what we SHOULD be doing, but we have dumb fucks like you.
CrAzY - Again, did I tell you not to judge his acting? No. I told you to be kind. Something you apparantly have never heard of. You can go stand in the corner with Listener Canon.
Lakitu1134 Funny because visually, Marvel is boring while DC tries hard at looking grimdark. Most of the Marvel movies look so dull, but I guess dull= realistic.
Wendigo Dragon They have a drab, dull color palette because of the type of camera they're using, and for consistency's sake, they don't change it, making it look very boring at times. Fighting at a lonely airport wasn't the most exciting of scenarios.
Stomp Chunkman the camera of modern era that says "hey, if we turn off the lights or make everything colorless and hard to see or have any real color, it means the story is dark, complex and gritty", and never have to focus too much by making long pretentious dialogue to sound important.
I have to strongly disagree with you at around 9:53 because he is a good actor. If you seen Gods and Monsters, The Quiet American, With Honors, and Crash, he can do drama very well. He was also convincing as an action hero in the first two Mummy movies, but sometimes an actor is limited to the quality of the script (in this movie's case, it was piss poor).
I don't know why he thinks Looney Tunes Back in Action was so bad either. At least it can be enjoyed genuinely, unlike Space Jam where everyone just likes it ironically.
Hold on a moment is this film an origins story to the Scarecrow the batman villain? socially awkward kid turns psychopath after waking from a Coma and then tries to steal Fear gas to make sure people are constantly in living nightmares and it's written by the same guy... Was this originally a Batman movie that they decided to change into... this
Brendan Fraser: thank you. By talking you did more than expose one predator. You validated all those male victims who’ve been told, “You didn’t fight back, so you must have liked it” because they’re men.
I only remember this movie because they advertised the SHIT out of it when it came out in theaters. Like, one of those movies you get so tired of seeing the ads for that you swear to not see it just to spite the advertisers.
In answer to your question about the cel frame from "The Simpsons"... it's not Krusty the Klown, it's Homer as a Krusty impersonator being pulled over by Chief Wigum. (It's from the episode "homie the clown")
Confirmed. I love that episode. Marge... Yes, Homie? Do do dodo do do do do do do do. That's it! You people have stood in my way long enough. I'm going to clown college.
Fun fact: Selick wanted to make an animated expansion/adaptation of a 1 issue comic entitled "Dark Town," but we got Monkeybone instead likely due to creative problems with Chris Columbus (Gremlins, Home Alone.) and 20th Century Fox. -S.
Isacc Gleeth. and yet somehow this movie seems less cartoony than the show where everyone has a piece of clothing that gives them the powers of an actual cartoon. Why does that sound so familiar?
Same here. I liked him the Mummy movies, George of the Jungle, Bedazzled and the Loony Toons back in Action movie. I don't think he's done much acting recently.
This movie, for me anyway, is like "Coolworld" where it could have been really amazing and thought-provoking, but ended up falling flat after too many rewrites. I used to own this movie and remember hearing on the audio commentary that the film was originally going to focus a LOT more on S. Miley's (I see what you did there, movie) time in Downtown. It was his own personal limbo rather than a mass coma waiting room, and every resident there was somebody he'd thought up/drawn (which they briefly touch on in the movie but only for like, a minute). The rest of the movie is him dealing with the world around him and coming to terms with himself. I don't know if the story would have been any better in practise, but we'd at least get more Downtown visuals, which is the best part of the movie.
Having Brendan Fraser play a weird and geeky animator, and expecting us to buy that casting choice is like having Tom Cruise play the creator of Ren and Stimpy, and expect us to take it seriously.
I think it stood out and personally stands out today as an excellent framework to showcase the imagination of children and how seemingly vast and infinite it felt. Calvin and Hobbes did that amazingly as well but was never syndicated as an animated series.
I was thinking the same thing. If you think Rugrats was "Duckman giving up" then you never actually watched Rugrats. The only thing the two have in common is that they were made by the same people. Rugrats was a creative children's show that actually respected children more than most other children's shows before and after it. Just look at the Mother's Day episode about Chuckie's mom.
When nostalgia critic was doing the shaking angry face I'd honestly thought it would be funnier if he went from that and said. No I didn't much care for it.
So, I saw this movie when I was like 6-7...and when I got home that night, I had fever hallucinations. Oddly enough, I loved it. I feel like Tim Burton created the system by which I create my ideas. The Coma-verse is basically what the inside of my mind looks like now. Thanks Burton.
Nostalgia Critic should do a review on Popee the Performer, it was an cartoon that aired on a kid's network in the early 2000's. Why should he review it? Look it up.... you'll see what I mean...
To address the "alter-ego" thing, I believe they just didn't feel like it after a while, and scrapped it. Not unlike the "Marge's ears" thing. They did say that Bart's hero is Krusty, and he has no respect for his father, so they thought it would be an interesting dynamic. I'm glad they didn't do it; I think it would've gone down as a ""Principal and the Pauper".
Have I said that I love Tamara and Malcolm? Whenever they get more skit time in reviews, they make the video that much better (of course combined with Doug and Rob's good writing).
people are always complaining - Too many comedy sketches with Malcolm and Tamara; Not enough sketches with Malcolm and Tamara, etc. Focusing too much on nostalgia is the leading cause of no new ideas... I have no idea where that last part came from. Oh damn it happened to me.
INGREDIENTS: 1 Cup of Nightmare Before Christmas 1/2 Cup Cool World A pinch of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? 3 Tsp. Pee-Wee's Playhouse 4 slices of every David Lynch movie ever Blend until a gross, chunky mess that looks like clay
6:13 Homie The Clown The scene is where Homer, as a Krusty lookalike part of Krusty’s plan to make more money, is bummed out that being a celebrity isn’t that great until he gets pulled over by Chief Wiggum and Wiggum tears up the ticket. This prompts Homer to start taking advantage of being Krusty until it gets him entangled with the Mafia
God, this review made me remember a pretty old cartoon show from Nickelodeon or Fox Kids or whatever, where was a cow and her brother, and their parents were humans.. and there was also a devil with a big red butt. What a true nightmare this show was. Wish I could remember a name of it.
Oh yess, it is! This thing broke my entire psyche in childhood, especially this episode with a 'journey' in someone's entrails. God. Now when I know the name I can finally rest in peace, thank you.
I don't know why but I am baffled that the title of a movie, that seems to want to be taken seriously, is "Single White Female". I would expect that type of name to come from a comedy. Then again there are worse titles of movies. In fact, I'm making a movie and the title will be "Engaged Asian or maybe Indian Hermaphrodite".
The fact that someone put a "The" before Brendan Fraser shows where we've gone as a society (down the toilet). (I'm being melodramatic, but I would never put a "the" before his name. He's IN the Mummy movies. That's something, I guess.)
Todays memes are satirical & sarcastic in nature. While I'm sure there are some people who think of Brendan Fraser as some sort of god, you shouldn't blame the memers for that. In my honest opinion, he's alright. I like him in The Mummy, nothing else really. The fact that I have to say this kind of kills the illusion set by the meme. So I'll just forget this transgression & remember Brendan. I have The Mummy in my tummy.
This was made by Henry Selick, who was the true director of Nightmare Before Christmas. And despite his acclaim, this movie was a box office bomb. I can kinda see why. At least Selick went on to make Coraline which is a much better bizarre film. Also I kinda like the closed captions of this episode since it gives a bit of its own snark.
Brendan Frasier was so criminally misused. The Mummy let him shine and show what he was capable of but he had way too many roles where he was cast as a shy nerd.
From what I heard, Brendan Fraser is a lovely and funny guy in real life. That's why he keeps getting work. Hell, Ben from Scrubs was created for him. He's also not a bad actor. Guy is charming and inoffensive.
12:03 That purple alien thing is in bed with a wasp woman. It’s literally the scariest thing ever because I’m not a huge fan of regular wasps so I will not sleep tonight.
10:50 And then Animaniacs came along... And they pushed that envelope so much that it could no longer be seen from its original starting point. Or from its halfway point.... Or the three-quarters point.... Or the nine-tenths point.... Or the 19/20 point.... Or the 99/100 point.... Or the- You know, they really pushed that envelope hard, (if ya know what I'm getting at), let's leave it at that, otherwise we (or at least I) will be here all day.
they pushed the envelope so much it flew out of the window and was carried by the wind to every Corner of the round world, i don't know how but they sure as hell managed that
I hope people understand that the "Old" fans of the Nostalgia Critic are beating a dead horse here with the skits. They complained when the Nostalgia Critic did the same thing over and over, and now they're complaining when he's making adjustments and not doing the thing they were complaining about. In the end, it's simple: People will never be satisfied.
Or maybe it’s just that he was never good or funny to begin with, but since he’s the only UA-camr who regularly reviews 90s movies, people come to watch him even though they know they’ll be disappointed
GOODFILMS Not really. I like that he basically shows the stories of movies that I watched when I was younger. So it’s really the movies I come to watch for. I can never make it through his commentary though. His critical insights are superficial and poorly communicated. He says that things “just don’t feel right” a lot. Like he doesn’t even understand his own opinions. And his humor and comic timing are terrible and mostly involve exaggerated faces, poses and tones followed by a mistimed pregnant pause and then a jump cut. And he always includes some poorly thought out backstory that adds nothing to the video nor the movie he’s reviewing. I wind up watching one of his videos after looking up the trailer for an old movie thanks to UA-cam’s algorithm. I watch him so infrequently that when I see him in my recommended I think this time it might be better, but I always wind up disappointed. Kind of like most of the nostalgic movies he “reviews”
Oh god, Monkeybone... It's a movie I forget exists quite often, but still can never truly forget it. It was such a strange movie that made no sense. I agree Brendan was a big miscast. He doesn't fit the role. He's one of my favorite actors. Not because of his looks, per say. He does make weird faces when firing a gun, which I've affectionately called "Brendan face". While I do like his acting, there's just something about him that seems... kind. His eyes seem honest and compassionate. Of course I'm not sure if he's actually a nice guy, but I've always had that feeling about him. I've heard good things about him, though. But yeah, to me, he's a lovable goofball who was amazing in The Mummy trilogy and Inkheart. He's always been one of those actors that goes under the radar. No real scandals or headlines. He just does a role, then moves on. It's only when the new Mummy movie came out that people started to have Brendan-mania. And for good reason.
Ok. So here is a short story. I was 8 years old when this movie came out, my Dad was flipping through channels and he came across this movie and I watched the scene where Brenden Fraser's character gets possessed by Monkeybone. I remember being completely weirded out by just watching parts of this movie and years later that creepy orange creature (I forgot it was even a monkey until today) had weirdly slipped into my subconscious. Sometimes it would haunt my childhood dreams (similar to the IT creature, except I have never been to Derry so I was safe) and I had legit NEVER seen a rerun of the film, despite my best attempts of looking and scanning the channels over the years. Now today, after 16 years, I have finally found out that this movie is just purely weird for the sake of being weird BULLSHIT. Childhood version of me has finally solved the mystery of the creepy orange monster movie. Thank you Nostalgia Critic. And I swear to god this is a true story!
who ever did the suptitles on this one THANK YOU!! the 'in between lines' make this even better! I am going to have to rewatch every video with the ENG sups on now!
Malcom and Tamara's fake kid smiles are infectious. They just seem so *pleased* with themselves and can clearly spare no fucks until such time as their breathing privileges were revoked.
Liowen well technically if someone holds their breath until they lose consciousness, they pass out and the body involuntarily gasps and begins breathing again.
tylor govero I can actually see an appeal - especially visually - but it seems like a movie I'd give a miss for me. it seems like it doesn't live up to its full potential.
I like this movie too, the only problem I really have is by the end of the film when Monkeybone is out of Fraser's body, you realize Monkeybone had about 3 or 4 scenes before he took over his body
it took me half a minute to remember what you were talking about. i forgot the plot because of what that anime was. the anime was just so amazing that all you remember is the awesome.

Nostalgia Critic should do a review on Popee the Performer, it was an cartoon that aired on a kid's network in the early 2000's. Why should he review it? Look it up.... you'll see what I mean...
Wyatt Gauthier OHHHHHH GOSH XD YES I KNOW NOW WHY
Wyatt Gauthier I just Googled popee the performer.
I hate you.
Wyatt Gauthier the most disturbing children's show ever?
Wyatt Gauthier doesn't really fit his gig imo. I like that show more than I should admit though. It's pretty trippy.
+Wyatt Gauthier
Oh...
6:15 That's Homer as Krusty!
Small trivia, Krusty was initially going to be nothing more than Homer's alter-ego. That's why they look so similar.
Realshow Interesting, wonder why they scrap that aspect of the series. Would've been fun.
To address the "alter-ego" thing, I believe they just didn't feel like it after a while, and scrapped it. Not unlike the "Marge's ears" thing. They did say that Bart's hero is Krusty, and he has no respect for his father, so they thought it would be an interesting dynamic. I'm glad they didn't do it; I think it would've gone down as a ""Principal and the Pauper".
Oh, and we all probably know that he acknowledges that later (well, he says what episode it is, but that basically the same thing).
I just watched that episode on TV lol. Great one.
19:36 It's actually funny that you point out Bob Odenkirk playing one of the surgeons there, because Giancarlo Esposito (Gus Fring) plays Hypnos.
Breaking Bad rebooted many careers...
Have I said that I love Tamara and Malcolm? Whenever they get more skit time in reviews, they make the video that much better (of course combined with Doug and Rob's good writing).
Jean Agreed. Sadly, many of Doug's fans don't agree.
While a lot of others do agree. Like me. NC has evolved, but some people are stuck in the past.
people are always complaining - Too many comedy sketches with Malcolm and Tamara; Not enough sketches with Malcolm and Tamara, etc. Focusing too much on nostalgia is the leading cause of no new ideas... I have no idea where that last part came from. Oh damn it happened to me.
Blaze Nitro different people have different thoughts huh that's weird
Finally! Someone who accepts change.
Yes the Greek god of sleep and dreams is main villain material. At least the roman version killed people who fell asleep during their job.
INGREDIENTS:
1 Cup of Nightmare Before Christmas
1/2 Cup Cool World
A pinch of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
3 Tsp. Pee-Wee's Playhouse
4 slices of every David Lynch movie ever
Blend until a gross, chunky mess that looks like clay
20:04 Critic, Critic, Critic. I'm an expert in Brendan Fraser dialogue, he's actually saying: "Ow! Ow! My hurting ding-dong!"
I happened to see this movie once as a child... Happy never to go back.
Brianna I wish i could join you I've seen this movie too many times to remember and I feel like shit
I think we need to address that the creepy dad is That Guy With the Glasses returned from hell. When is the Critic going to realize it?!
Matt Norton Wait, that was a separate character? Not just referring to Doug?
*_PLEASE FORGIVE OUR GREAT VENGEANCE AND FURIOUS ANGER_*
*COMIN TO GETCHUH* 15:35

6:13 Homie The Clown
The scene is where Homer, as a Krusty lookalike part of Krusty’s plan to make more money, is bummed out that being a celebrity isn’t that great until he gets pulled over by Chief Wiggum and Wiggum tears up the ticket. This prompts Homer to start taking advantage of being Krusty until it gets him entangled with the Mafia
God, this review made me remember a pretty old cartoon show from Nickelodeon or Fox Kids or whatever, where was a cow and her brother, and their parents were humans.. and there was also a devil with a big red butt. What a true nightmare this show was. Wish I could remember a name of it.
Cow and Chicken?
Oh yess, it is! This thing broke my entire psyche in childhood, especially this episode with a 'journey' in someone's entrails. God. Now when I know the name I can finally rest in peace, thank you.
It was aired on Cartoon Network? Did you even remember that and checked out the former programs of the channel?
Not sure how typing 10th of that description couldn't have been used to find the name.
Cow and Chicken
FLMABLE AUTOMATON was your entire sentence without "the"
I don't know why but I am baffled that the title of a movie, that seems to want to be taken seriously, is "Single White Female". I would expect that type of name to come from a comedy. Then again there are worse titles of movies. In fact, I'm making a movie and the title will be "Engaged Asian or maybe Indian Hermaphrodite".
I love this channel. I can't wait until they get one million subscribers
Zoel Edwards 10 years on, I'm surprised NC isn't more famous.
ajmrowland I thought that too
Not always a fan of the opening skits but I love this one
Why... would Malcolm think his knuckles could be pink?
Marconius haha haha
I know black people with pink knuckles
6:15 in fact that is actually a picture of Homer Simpson dressed as Krusty the Clown from The episode Homie The Clown season 6 episode 15 18:31
Untainted SKS yeah, I watched the review too
moon_ giggler this reply makes no sense
mikeynike81 no, is not cheese.
mikeynike81 it does, because NC literally states in the review that the scene is from homie the clown
Oh good you have ears!
6:04 That's not Krusty, that's Homer. That's his car.
It's from season 6 episode 15: "Homie the clown".
Little known fact: Every time the song "Foxy Lady" is played in a sex scene, Jimi Hendrix sobs in his grave.
Don't blame THE Brendan Fraser for this abomination. What would Critical think?
Not a misspelling, a pun.
#StayMoistForBrendan
The fact that someone put a "The" before Brendan Fraser shows where we've gone as a society (down the toilet). (I'm being melodramatic, but I would never put a "the" before his name. He's IN the Mummy movies. That's something, I guess.)
Guy Incognito oh pull that stick outta your ass
I said I was being melodramatic on purpose. Does not liking Brandan Fraser make me stuck-up?
Todays memes are satirical & sarcastic in nature. While I'm sure there are some people who think of Brendan Fraser as some sort of god, you shouldn't blame the memers for that. In my honest opinion, he's alright. I like him in The Mummy, nothing else really. The fact that I have to say this kind of kills the illusion set by the meme. So I'll just forget this transgression & remember Brendan. I have The Mummy in my tummy.
I actually kind of like this movie, I'll admit. Although it's probably just for the visuals and not the actual movie.
agreed, the visuals are really all it has going for it and as such they elevate it to guilty pleasure status
C. Jump I can see what you me.
I have 3 words that explain everything in this movie...
SPARKLE SPARKLE SPARKLE!
Fuck yeah sparkle sparkle sparkle!
The Abyssal Archivist WOOO!
I'm a dinosaur.

I WAS FROZON TODAY
This was made by Henry Selick, who was the true director of Nightmare Before Christmas. And despite his acclaim, this movie was a box office bomb. I can kinda see why. At least Selick went on to make Coraline which is a much better bizarre film.
Also I kinda like the closed captions of this episode since it gives a bit of its own snark.
18:29 - Anyone else expecting Spawn to bust through that skylight and drag this movie back to Hell where it belongs?
Brendan Frasier was so criminally misused. The Mummy let him shine and show what he was capable of but he had way too many roles where he was cast as a shy nerd.
A new Nostalgia Critic video on my birthday! This can't get any better! :)
B-Rookie happy birthday
B-Rookie Merry Birthday!
B-Rookie looks like it just has. They just hearted your comment
B-Rookie happy bday
Happy Birthday!
At least Fraser will be getting a comeback soon with The Whale and Killers of the Flower Moon
From what I heard, Brendan Fraser is a lovely and funny guy in real life. That's why he keeps getting work. Hell, Ben from Scrubs was created for him. He's also not a bad actor. Guy is charming and inoffensive.
11:58 Rammstein 😂😂😂
That would honestly be perfect.
TheBlackKnight1o1 best German band ever
What The Heck Is "MonkeyBone"?
Never Heard Of It In My Life!
I was 14 when it was in theaters; I thought it was okay... Ranked right up there with Little Nicky :P
Little Nicky?
I Never Heard Of That Movie Either, Blaze Nitro!
Little Nicky is a movie where Adam Sandler plays Satan's son. No joke.
Dexter The Nostalgia Toonster it is base on a book called Death Town. You get what I'm saying.
What A Stupid Idea For A Adam Sandler Movie!
12:03 That purple alien thing is in bed with a wasp woman. It’s literally the scariest thing ever because I’m not a huge fan of regular wasps so I will not sleep tonight.
YAY NOSTALGIA CRITIC IS MY INSPIRATION FOR EVERYTHING I DO!!! EATING BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND DINNER... MAKING VIDEOS... AND TYPING IN CAPS LOCK!!!
The last time I was this early England was a country.
10:50
And then Animaniacs came along...
And they pushed that envelope so much that it could no longer be seen from its original starting point.
Or from its halfway point....
Or the three-quarters point....
Or the nine-tenths point....
Or the 19/20 point....
Or the 99/100 point....
Or the-
You know, they really pushed that envelope hard, (if ya know what I'm getting at), let's leave it at that, otherwise we (or at least I) will be here all day.
they pushed the envelope so much it flew out of the window and was carried by the wind to every Corner of the round world, i don't know how but they sure as hell managed that
Finger prince! 🤣
I hope people understand that the "Old" fans of the Nostalgia Critic are beating a dead horse here with the skits. They complained when the Nostalgia Critic did the same thing over and over, and now they're complaining when he's making adjustments and not doing the thing they were complaining about. In the end, it's simple: People will never be satisfied.
Yeah haven’t you heard of feminists
America in a nutshell.
You can never please anybody in this world
Or maybe it’s just that he was never good or funny to begin with, but since he’s the only UA-camr who regularly reviews 90s movies, people come to watch him even though they know they’ll be disappointed
GOODFILMS Not really. I like that he basically shows the stories of movies that I watched when I was younger. So it’s really the movies I come to watch for. I can never make it through his commentary though.
His critical insights are superficial and poorly communicated. He says that things “just don’t feel right” a lot. Like he doesn’t even understand his own opinions. And his humor and comic timing are terrible and mostly involve exaggerated faces, poses and tones followed by a mistimed pregnant pause and then a jump cut. And he always includes some poorly thought out backstory that adds nothing to the video nor the movie he’s reviewing.
I wind up watching one of his videos after looking up the trailer for an old movie thanks to UA-cam’s algorithm. I watch him so infrequently that when I see him in my recommended I think this time it might be better, but I always wind up disappointed. Kind of like most of the nostalgic movies he “reviews”
"Did you know that if your knuckles are pink, you're more likely to be a genius?"
Dr. Strange Bat yeah, somewhere Moe Larry and Curly are smiling.
Cool world would have been good without the constant interference that ruined its original intentions.
Aroused be arm flaps? Um... No. I can say never. Actually the opposite.
...pulling the plug on a coma patient isn't going to kill them.
It will if you're pulling the plug on the IV. Just very, veeeeeerrrrry slowly.
Depends on damage and the kind of coma, pulling the plug very much can kill many coma patients.
Amanda Holland well that certainly takes the fun out of doing it!
Oh god, Monkeybone... It's a movie I forget exists quite often, but still can never truly forget it. It was such a strange movie that made no sense. I agree Brendan was a big miscast. He doesn't fit the role. He's one of my favorite actors. Not because of his looks, per say. He does make weird faces when firing a gun, which I've affectionately called "Brendan face". While I do like his acting, there's just something about him that seems... kind. His eyes seem honest and compassionate. Of course I'm not sure if he's actually a nice guy, but I've always had that feeling about him. I've heard good things about him, though. But yeah, to me, he's a lovable goofball who was amazing in The Mummy trilogy and Inkheart. He's always been one of those actors that goes under the radar. No real scandals or headlines. He just does a role, then moves on. It's only when the new Mummy movie came out that people started to have Brendan-mania. And for good reason.
Tamara: We said were sorry.!!
Nostalgia Critic: BREATHING!!!!!!!!!
This is what fans have to deal with when they actually are a fan of Joel Schumacher
It`s amazing how both the director and main lead both got back a comeback with Wendel and Wild / the Whale
ParaNorman still holds up? Dude, film is like, only five years old
Douglas Ammirati And it's held up for all five years.
Ok. So here is a short story. I was 8 years old when this movie came out, my Dad was flipping through channels and he came across this movie and I watched the scene where Brenden Fraser's character gets possessed by Monkeybone. I remember being completely weirded out by just watching parts of this movie and years later that creepy orange creature (I forgot it was even a monkey until today) had weirdly slipped into my subconscious. Sometimes it would haunt my childhood dreams (similar to the IT creature, except I have never been to Derry so I was safe) and I had legit NEVER seen a rerun of the film, despite my best attempts of looking and scanning the channels over the years. Now today, after 16 years, I have finally found out that this movie is just purely weird for the sake of being weird BULLSHIT. Childhood version of me has finally solved the mystery of the creepy orange monster movie. Thank you Nostalgia Critic. And I swear to god this is a true story!
Doug seems like a great parent.
Jonathan Sefcik I think He's mentioned that he has a son
OneandonlyAngie I think he's at least implied that him and his wife don't have kids. Or maybe that was Rob
who ever did the suptitles on this one THANK YOU!! the 'in between lines' make this even better! I am going to have to rewatch every video with the ENG sups on now!
Malcom and Tamara's fake kid smiles are infectious. They just seem so *pleased* with themselves and can clearly spare no fucks until such time as their breathing privileges were revoked.
I thought they were saying "I will not breed." but I guess not breathing is just as good.
Liowen well, if you stop breathing your odds of breeding go way down.
True...but why risk it? I mean cockroaches can live without their heads for, up to, 30 days, imagine what an idiot can do without breathing.
Liowen well technically if someone holds their breath until they lose consciousness, they pass out and the body involuntarily gasps and begins breathing again.
Please review the original Resident Evil (2002) film or the Death Race remake (2008)!!!
Ernst Stavro Blofeld oh look its DR. Loomis
Basically the monkey bone cartoon is a big mouth prequel?
Yep, still as nightmarishly terrifying as it was when I was 10!
21:50 that face Doug made had me rolling
Pushing the Envelop.
"Clothes have turned evil! They're working together!" *Cue Kill La Kill theme*
I have played the NC's spittake at 0.25 speed 10 times, but I still don't know how he pulled that off..
guitarwally1 At the end of the line. You can see a small jump cut before he does the spit take
that's weird because I can clearly see the cut
ItsMeHerzegovina Yeah it's very noticeable around the head position...If that doesn't sound gay
guitarwally1 what time stamp is the spittake
15:15 this was traumatizing and cringe
15:35 *COMIN TO GETCHUH*
Nah it was sexy 😂😍
I actually really enjoy this movie, I guess you can say it's a guilty pleasure
tylor govero me too I love stupid dark comedy and actually like most of Brendan's movies
tylor govero I can actually see an appeal - especially visually - but it seems like a movie I'd give a miss for me. it seems like it doesn't live up to its full potential.
I like this movie too, the only problem I really have is by the end of the film when Monkeybone is out of Fraser's body, you realize Monkeybone had about 3 or 4 scenes before he took over his body
tylor govero You became aroused?
BREATHING!!!!!!
Thank god, Fraser had The Whale to save his career. Now he's probably the frontrunner for Best Actor.
5:50
Wait, how did the Critic immediately NOT Recognize Ash's Hat and Burn it at a Stake?!
21:42 There is an anime about evil clothes trying to harvest the life force of humans.
it took me half a minute to remember what you were talking about. i forgot the plot because of what that anime was. the anime was just so amazing that all you remember is the awesome.
it took me half a minute to remember what you were talking about. i forgot the plot because of what that anime was. the anime was just so amazing that all you remember is the awesome.
Well now at least I FINALLY know what it's like to be teabagged by Brandon Frasier
Rewatching this after forever.. And I don't know who does the captions but give that person more work! Dude, you are super fun! :)
Monkeybone is a fun movie. It's a shame that Brendan Fraser didn't do more comedy because I always thought he had great comic timing.
