Alone in the Dark Review (Commentary)

I actually thought the computer voice was perfect for this review. I could full well see that somebody lost his voice after seeing this movie. So I actually thought you had planned this and Dougs voice was fine. Kudos too you guys.

Doug Walker (NC) and James Rowlfe (AVGN) are funny within their niche, but pull them out of it and they just fall flat. More so with James than Doug. I love all of Jame's videos, where he truly shines are in his Cinnemassice videos where he's legitimately educational about film. They aren't funny, but they are awesome. Doug on the otherhand has some of the best comedy writing out there, it's always spot on. And when he's hiding behind his characters of The Bum (probably his funniest works), purposefully awkward That Guy With The Glasses and the titular Nostalgia Critic, he's funny. But as Doug, his performances fall flat, almost as though he doesn't know what his own stage presence is. Two years in a sketch or improv comedy troupe would fix that.

Noah, however, is just a prodigy. Not everything he does is golden, but he never posts anything that is completely unfunny, or like that one fellow from the roast the Necrocritic, antifunny. It may be that Noah has the presence of mind to recognize what's not good and avoid posting it, and that alone puts him head and shoulder above most other internet comedians. One person on this site once commented that Noah has a Bill Hicks feel to his comedy. While I agree, my agreement is qualified. Noah has a similar energy as Bill, but he lacks the obvious demons that showed in Bill's comedy. And in all honestly I pray that Noah never does. He's hilarious enough as is without needing to talk about drug abuse and alcoholism.

... I don't really know where I am going with this rant, all I do know is that Noah is my favorite funny person on the internet, and I am not wearing any pants.

i agree in some way with 102, it's not that you're better than NC or AVGN, but you do have a really strong input when it comes to... well, reviewing-bitching some bad movie or game, you speak loud and fast, like there's not enough time in the vid to let you express how sucky it really is for example "I can't believe how there's not a single screen of this game which I can't bitch about" (FFVIII), that's really funny. So yeah I think the NC should've given you more creative freedom when reviewing this piece of shit movie.

Hot here in Chicago? When the hell were you here? Oh, and you're right about the whole Willis Tower thing, it's so BS.

Hey Noah, I don't know if you will ever read this but I think it's worth saying. You are way more entertaining and fun to watch then Nostalgia Critic and that other guy that just strings random curse words together about shit and piss to appeal to the minds of young teenage boys.
I don't know why, you just have a certain comedic talent and personality that sits well with me and I think you deserve way more attention and popularity then you usually get.

Shame about Doug losing his voice, but at least you were able to find a way around it. I'm a big Insano fan and would have liked to see what Doug had in mind, but I understand why you want and had to limit him. Anyway nice insight on the review. I think the commentary is a great idea, and I hope we'll hear some from the recent crossover with Linkara.

What do you mean you don't have a uniform? Fantastic hair and a funny shirt is totally a uniform.

As mentioned earlier, the song is "Ghost" by Mnemic, not Rob Zombie.

Also, I think the museum they're in is the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver.

Love the commentaries - always interesting when I'm procrastinating

Get sick of Insano!? Madness man! Never will the interwebs be sick of the maddest Mad there is!

Great review and crossover once again. Ever since I saw your written review I was hoping you or someone would do a video review on it. Oh yeah the the Willis Tower is not BS now I can say my name is up in lights. haha Seriously though great vid and can't wait to see more.

I have to be honest with this, I wish you didn't team up with anyone. You do fine on your own, I find Nostalgia Critic to be one of the most unfunniest "comedians" to grace the internet and I really can't watch anything with him in it without turning it off after a minute.

Spoony, why did you mess up the aspect ratio again? And why nobody else seems to be bothered by this flaw? I mean, shouldn't a movie fan care about a correct aspect ratio of the picture?

People are TIRED of Insano? Fuck them, MORE Insano!

Noah, you are such a sellout.

And here I thought I was the only person who found Uwe's commentaries to be HILARIOUS!!

He actually thinks his movies are good/the performances are good and he goes into detail about the story he has for the movie in his head that never shows up on screen.

His films are a great tool in helping people learn what to avoid doing.

Go Spoony keep up the GREAT work.

@SimonTheGoalie: Really? Sweet! Mah hometown! Viva la Halifax!

Yeah, no uniform. Your casualness gives you your own class.

Great commentary, but the film wasn't all filmed in Montreal, it actually mostly took place in Halifax, NS, Surrey and Vancouver, BC.

i personally wouldnt mind more or less Insano,but i can see why your being cautious about it.

Nah. You don't need a uniform, you Castleton snob. I do like seeing your MST shirts. I did have to find my own Cherrokee Jack shirt after I saw yours. Maybe get yourself a blue or green jumpsuit? lol

Yeah...the "Willis" Tower is one of those big upsets for Chicagoans. I went there recently with my family from Germany, and they all still call it the Sears Tower. But the walk out boxes are neat! And...terrifying at the same time.

This review was awesome and I do hope to see more soon. Have a good time at that con up in Michigan, wish I could get there. :/

sometime can u do a video review of House of the Dead

Spoony, I'm scared now. I just finished watching postal (cause it's on netflix)... and it may have made some semblance of sense. Dare I say that I might be deluded enough to think it wasn't that bad of a movie? Please, I beg of you, stop by a local lumber yard, pickup a two by four and help a friend knock some sense back into themeself?!

Best Wishes, -ObieWan

"Balls" would've been so much better.

My favorite scene was when they had the 'epic' battle in his house of crates and lamps while MNEMIC's Ghost plays in the background and you can't see a damn thing.

I'm actually surprised you guys didn't touch on Tara Ried saying New Found Land.

If you have a "Crispy" shirt to go along with the Castleton shirt, you officially are a Mistie demi-god.

I liked Dorff in Blade too. Blade is da bomb.

Hey! I met some of those natives out here in Newfoundland the other day, they were burying a key in my backyard.

I loved the video, it was hilarious...I think that computer voice is always funny. "Oh Jesus, no..." Haha, that's my favorite part. But anyway, you guys should work together more often...

Great commentary and review but one problem you said Newfoundland wrong(nitpick)
