I watched that review just this morning. One of his best.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I was never a big fan of his, but it's sad when someone feels backed into that sort of corner.

I'll always remember his disgust when the film ended:

Quote:If you want to talk about the benefits of emotional interaction with your patients, fine.
If you want to talk about new forms of practicing medicine and treating people, fine.
But, DO IT AS A FUCKING ADULT! Not this childish, poorly written, nonfactual bullshit!

What an epic way to finish a review.

Again, I loved Robin Williams, but people who want to remember him for a disgraceful movie, easily his worst, a film that was unfaithful to a real man's life, misrepresenting his actual hard work, and theories, are doing him a disservice.

You remember the people you love for their triumphs, not their disasters.

Death is not the enemy gentlemen. If we're going to fight a disease, let's fight one of the most terrible diseases of all, indifference.

Hahaha what a stupid way to end a review.[Image: lol1-onion-head-emoticon.gif]
Hey Walker you want to talk about adulthood stop mentioning animation and toons Hahaha!(that was my though about it when I saw his review, not that I'm expecting him to reply me here I was just mentioning). I mean come one even most of online movie critics have more self control that that smart ass. So what if the movie has mistakes. Pretty much every single thing(specially film) has flaws pointing out them doesn't change my mind. That's not nostalgia critic that's sticking up with the past critics. A true reviewer that ain't enough humble with himself to admit that even his opinion could be wrong he ain't worth listing.
Like for example:




And I'm suppose to take in count walker? Why?
Do not be weighed down by what the critic says. No statue was ever erected to honour a critic. Statues are for the criticized.

Why? Because that doesn't answer my question.
Then according to you we only have to focus on the good stuff? Geez then when Spielberg dies nobody mentions the crystal skull to Welsh guys. And when Ben Affleck dies let's forget about Daredevil.

Because who are you to tell me what should or shouldnt remember?
[Image: hehe-onion-head-emoticon.gif]
I said it once and I'll said it again. Are we supposed to overpass everything that deceased did and only take in count the good things? Am I supposed to forget Revolution 9 just because I liked John Lennon? Or overpass the Last Airbender movie despite how much I love the Nickelodeon Avatar franchise? Who says what we should or shouldn't remember when we talk about someone life history?

Besides not every single one of us like to forget our mistakes. Some people like to carry them and say Yeah I did that and it's because of that, that I became a better person.

Yeah because Doug Walker clearly is the first example of that philosophy. Some of the people that made the films in his Nostalgia critics are dead yet he don't seem to have second thoughts about that.

Unfaithful to a real man's life..yeah right.

The Real Patch Adams Pens Moving Remembrance of Robin Williams

If the real Patch has already forgiven this movie why can't you?

You don't understand why that film blows, do you?


Quote:So what if the movie has mistakes.
The entire film was a disgusting cock-up. Just ask Patch Adams. It portrayed him as nothing more than a clown, instead of a hard working doctor, who DID get his license, AND DID NOT steal medical supplies from hospitals! >:C


Quote:A true reviewer that ain't enough humble with himself to admit that even his opinion could be wrong he ain't worth listing.
You do understand that if you're going to be an internet personality you have to be egocentric from time to time? i.e. entertaining?


Quote:Why? Because that doesn't answer my question.
You... didn't ask me a question. :S

When you're remembering someone and paying tributes to them dumbass. Otherwise you're doing it in bad faith. And Spielberg ain't dead. And if he did die, I would pay my respects by celebrating his greatest achievements.


Quote:Yeah because Doug Walker clearly is the first example of that philosophy. Some of the people that made the films in his Nostalgia critics are dead yet he don't seem to have second thoughts about that.
I never said Doug was always right. Far from it. He's human like the rest of us. On the single issue though of addressing this movie and its faults, his criticism is bang-on 100%.


Quote:Unfaithful to a real man's life..yeah right.
You have to judge the film by its own merits.

Patch Adams, the movie, is not faithful to the man's life, at all. Its a grossly inaccurate portrayal.

If you cannot appreciate the difference between fact and fiction, you and I are done talking. >:C

I'll celebrate Robin Williams for his achievements.

You wanna revisit his fuck ups instead? Fine. Knock yourself out.
