538 how dare you call spoony a below average reviewer!!!!!!!!

seriously, name one guy better than spoony on the web let alone that guy with the glasses!

Jack September 23, 2009 at 4:14 pm

I still liked District 9 better than either film. Tarantino’s films are all the same basically. Violence, smart ass dialogue, and weird editing. I would have preferred a true story about the Jewish men who were trained by Brittish special forces.

Tarantino frequently disappoints with his over-budget films. I’m almost willing to say that he would probably make better movies if he didn’t have so much money.

I dunno.. he just strikes me as way too arrogant and full of himself, Maybe if he wasn’t trying to convince the world of how cool he is, and take a humble pill with some humble pie, and we could have some decent films.

As of now? Too arrogant. Too spoiled.

hell yea spoony smack that british acsent right out film brain mouth spoony forever

jamesa1986 September 23, 2009 at 6:01 pm

confused matthew, Cinema Snob, brad cook of Film Threat, the gang from Spill, Sean Axmaker from Rotten Tomatoes, and a slew of other film snobs and media critics are far better movie reviews. I simply watch Spooney to see what stupid thing he will say/do next.In that respect he is entertaining.For his supidity.

DeathsHead419 September 23, 2009 at 6:19 pm

@jamesa
So voiceing an honest opinion is stupidity? Ok, so your opinion is hencefourth declared stupid.

metalmaiden September 23, 2009 at 8:35 pm

Spoony is entitled to his opinion, and if he thinks FB is out of his mind then he’s aloud to say it. By the way Spoony, I 100% agree with you. Saying Transformers 2 is better than Inglorious Basterds is just crazy. LOL

jnywest September 23, 2009 at 8:35 pm

guys…I say we take this thread of comments to 600!! WE CAN DO IT!!!

post 539 got a point

Hell even in Spoony’s review of IB he seems to think the Nazis are all evil scum of the earth and all they did in the moive is dog kicking, guess celebrating the birth of your son makes you EVIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLL and your deserve to die in Spoony’s book, heh.

Any way FB’s reveiw does have some good point the Basterd part were the weakest parts in the moive, because what they do the the Nazi (as I said most are just normal people) is disturbing, made worst by the fact 80% of the veiwers are rooting for the Basterd (fucking dumbasses)

Also I found Fredrick Zoller’s snapping near the end to be Grade-A Character Derailment just so you wouldn’t fell sorry for wend he gets shot in the back.

TF2 was an enjoyable 90 min toy ad with robots fighting, and IB was also good in it’s own way (like I said I personaly don’t like the movie, I can see why other people would)

Not a spy September 23, 2009 at 11:12 pm

I believe that inglorious basterds wasn’t that bad. It was a alright film that held together pretty well (up until the ending anyways) and other than the fact the movie wasn’t even about the basterds (despite them being the more interesting characters in the film) it was a pretty entertaining visual experience. Transformers 2 however I have never seen since every single person I know says it’s awful. That combined with Spoony1’s and the small snippets I have seen on the web have insured me that it is pretty bad. Bad vs Alright = Inglorious Basterds wins in my book.

PS to the dumber: Before you say anything remember that my opinion is biased. Just like everyone’s opinion .

im Booze Zombie, im a pretentious hypocritical prick who cant grasp the basic concept of the internet
YOU’RE ALL TOOLS, TOOLS I SAY! TOOOOOOLS!!!!
and i shall continue posting in this thread that i hate so much, for i am an ignoramus

P.S.: TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLS ALL OF YOU

zoob September 24, 2009 at 9:52 am

Spoony is far more talented than Film Brain in every aspect. He is intelligent, funny, entertaining and engages his audience. Film Brain tries too hard and comes off as a pompous jackass. It is a wonder that he got a spot in That Guy With the Glasses to begin with. Call it flaming, but it is the honest truth.

Booze Zombie September 24, 2009 at 11:55 am

Ironically, impersonating people is what everyone else is doing in this comments section, so, yes, you’re a tool.

Enjoy it, I’m no longer commenting.

Jacen September 24, 2009 at 11:59 am

Seriously, I’ve seen the scores and it is really stupid how Film Brain ranked an awesome movie lower than Transformers 2. I don’t see any more this year lower than that Micheal Bay shit…well except maybe X-Men Wolverine.

Everything the film Brian reviews, he seems to try too hard or not hard enough. He does the “quiet scream” reactions. His acted out reactions of what he thinks of movies is poorly executed and pointless. He even copied Doctor Insano with his bad orange wig and crappy glasses. I think the only reason why people suck up to him is because he admins Thatguywiththeglasses site and one mouse click from him and you are gone.

Booze Zombie September 24, 2009 at 12:13 pm

Sorry, I missed this part off my comment:

The point of the Internet is to impersonate people, overuse the word pretentious, randomly pepper everything with swear words and repeadly tell people they’re wrong, because…?

Just note that you came back to this very comments section trawled through it all for my comment and went out of your way to reply, I gave this section a passing glance and noticed my name on the last page.

Besides that, farewell… or don’t.

Booze Zombie September 24, 2009 at 12:47 pm

IM BACK AGAIN POSTING A COMMENT while trying to debate against myself

EonsPast September 24, 2009 at 2:23 pm

Jeez, so much for working relationships

I mean Spoony, the guys wrong, but was this really necessary? I mean “slap him until the stupid falls out” sounds more like you had a problem with him personally than his review of the movie.

Fandango September 24, 2009 at 2:47 pm

Film Brain stinks up the whole tgwtg site. He needs to go!

Spellman September 24, 2009 at 2:51 pm

lol, you guys are taking this way too seriously. Knock it off. Talk about nerd-rage.

Strawberry September 24, 2009 at 3:04 pm

HAAHAHAHAH, the flaming here is awesome. I can hardly wait to see what misinformed drivel the comment section comes up with next.

Kerry September 24, 2009 at 7:38 pm

to be completely honest, i hate Film Brain. but i have to agree with him here. “basterds” was just okay it wasn’t good nor was it bad, it was just okay. and honestly Spoony. i used to be a fan of yours but this isn’t cool, i don’t even like Film Brain but “slap the stupid out of him” simply because he didn’t agree with you. if everyone had the same tastes the world would suck. I liked Transformers 2 and Halloween 2, and you didn’t but i don’t go around saying that you are stupid because you didn’t like them. and really i thought you were better than this. and all of little lap dogs around here calling Film Brain names and shit is immature. So i hope you enjoy surronding yourself with these people who are just kissing your ass. because today, you have lost me as a fan.

and im gonna miss you and your reviews but, seriously i think you should apologize to Film Brain, and your fans.
and like i said before i don’t even watch Film Brain’s show nor do i care to i liked your reviews, but this was just completely tasteless

JT1 September 25, 2009 at 5:31 am

I don’t get why so many people are saying that they have lost all respect for Spoony and will no longer watch his videos. Why is this such a big deal? Everyone has done something obnoxious and arrogant; Spoony just has the misfortune that when he does, it is forever saved on the Internet. If you were offended, you should tell him and then forget about it. Life is too short.

Raith September 25, 2009 at 7:26 am

Wow, there’s some crazy rantings going on. Spoony is awsome and I love film brains reviews too. I don’t watch either to form my own opinions, I watch them to be entertained. I could care less who loves what. Everyone loves different things for different reasons. The only thing that screwed brain up was his numbering system which can cause problems if you aren’t completely consistant. 1 to 5 is too small. 1 to 10 is a better range if your going to use numbers. Lets you be a bit more specific.

Nobody should take any of this too seriously. Spoony’s pic response was over the top, but it was pretty funny. Now, if we really wanna see him go nuts, give Yor a bad review or talk crap about MST3K. Now we’re talking about line crossing! :D

Yegargeburble September 25, 2009 at 9:28 am

I haven’t had the opportunity to see either Transformers 2 or Inglorious Basterds, so I can’t say whether or not one is better than the other, but that picture is fucking awesome.

BJB Digital September 25, 2009 at 12:38 pm

This is just purely hilarious. “Teh INTERNET IS SERIOUS BUSINESS!!” Guys grow the fuck up, and stop being whiny little bitches with sand in your vaginas. It’s not like Spoony called Film Brain’s mom ” A whore with a pussy loose enough to hide a cow”. He basically said what amounts to playfully calling your friends a “dumbass” when they says something stupid. Yea I watch Film Brains’ reviews, but only to kill the time in between new videos from Doug, Linkara, and Spoony. I’m sorry but Film Brain has about as much business reviewing films as dog that eats throw-up, and shit has writing fine dining articles.Some of his stuff is funny, but after his Equilibrium review (Yes it was silly but in comparison to the shit storm that was Transformer 2 it was a classic. A fucking action fantasy movie doesn’t have to take itself seriously.)I began realizing how often he forces criticism in an attempt to be funny. Inglorious Basterds was a great film, and Film Brains’ amateur criticisms won’t change a goddamn thing.

qwert September 25, 2009 at 12:38 pm

Ladies, you are taking this way too seriously. You don’t have to turn everything in an internet nerd war. Especially not an Arnold Schwarzenegger image macro and three humorous lines of opinion.

Hubilub September 25, 2009 at 2:54 pm

I don’t really understand why people flame on Spoony for being mad about Film Brains opinion.

Isn’t Spoony having is own opinion right now? And for crying out loud, it’s teh interwebs, would anyone take threats seriously?

Also, teh interwebs is a place of anarchy. We can act like we want to however we want to. We act immature here because it lets us blow of some steam without consequences. Don’t be an idiot and call us immature, we already know it. Teh interwebs is not serious business. It’s anarchy, and we all know what happen to people who call anarchists immature, right? They get hate-mail.

PS: Spoony already said that he thinks british accents are gay, why is some people so surprised by this?

Threeler September 25, 2009 at 3:22 pm

I really don’t get why some of you are getting on Spoony for his little “slap him until…” line. I mean, fuck, I know your parents all taught you to not be mean and that we’re all special little snowflakes, but grow up. This is the internet, flaming is just another part of it. It’s not like Spoony said anything really nasty, it was a little jab. Calm the fuck down, you pussies. Sticks and stones, and all the jazz.

Now, that said, Spoony happens to be my favorite reviewer, but I don’t actually have anything against Film Brain. I think some of his skits are lame, but then I don’t really like any skits, including Dr Insano or Linkara’s 90’s Guy, or any of The Nostalgia Critic’s alternate personas. I just think they’re lame and suffer from “LOLITSSORANDOM”-itis. Film Brain’s certainly funny enough though, and sometimes I agree with him, and sometimes I don’t. I usually agree with Spoony and his style of humor is very much like my own, so I think he is the best of the lot. That’s my opinion, just like it’s FB’s opinion that Transformers 2 is better than Basterds, and just like it’s Spoony’s opinion that’s Brain’s opinion is stupid.

In short, Kerry, you’re a fucking idiot. As for EonsPast, maybe Spoony and FB are actually friendly and, being friends, they rip on eachother. If not, well, then it’s still up to him to do what he wants and since FB is making public his opinions, he should expect to be critiqued himself.

Spellman September 25, 2009 at 4:06 pm

Threeler is bing bang on.

wow this shit is getting stupid-er

BAC September 25, 2009 at 5:26 pm

I am disappointed….I was sure this would reach 600 comments by Saturday.

TheBest! September 25, 2009 at 6:29 pm

I am totally agreeing with Threeler. Good for you man!

Meutecee September 25, 2009 at 6:43 pm

I like Filmbrain and Spoony. They must work together for a review-rumble!!! xD

EonsPast September 25, 2009 at 8:32 pm

@Threeler.

I suppose you have a point. I’m not going to say that I’ll stop watching Spoony because one line he said on the internet one time, because that would be stupid. But you said that if FB wants to make his opinions known, he can expect to be critiqued; doesn’t that mean I’m allowed to critique Spoony on his opinion?

Still, like I said, you may be right. Maybe they are just joking around. Some sarcasm (if that’s what it is) just doesn’t translate to text that well, you know?

YigSnakeDaddy September 25, 2009 at 10:59 pm

And you know why TGWTG keeps that kind of lowquality “reviewers” like Film Brain and Amazing Atheist around?
Because the site is full of asskissers and fanboys. Yes I know it’s the internet, but TGWTG really goes ebyond the point of no return there.
It’s like people give them 5 star ratings to videos and articles just because it’s on the site.

Azerth September 26, 2009 at 11:59 am

Nostalgic Chick and Amazing Atheist both suck more then Film Brain

Superior September 26, 2009 at 12:50 pm

People are calling themselves fans of Spoony, yet they are raging at something like this and saying they won’t watch his videos anymore because he makes posts like this, but then it is quite obvious you just don’t get it, and you are hardly a fan of Spoony if a post like this makes you rage.

Spoony is just doing this for entertainment, and he created plenty of entertainment from these comments. I can bet he doesn’t even hate Film Brain. Some of you people need to re-assess your definition of ‘fan’, because you obviously aren’t fan enough to understand posts like this.

Many people have said it before me, but get over it. If you don’t like it, you were never a fan of Spoony, whether you thought you were or not, because this post defines him, and always has.

Lord Milton Feen September 26, 2009 at 3:51 pm

I hope Film Brain says FFVIII beats VI.

On a side note though Spoony and FB now both have aids

dana September 26, 2009 at 7:42 pm

Really its been said before but seriously, grow up if you have your panties in a bunch over what spoony says on his own website. And FYI filmbrain sucks, I mean there is nothing worse nor more depressing than seeing TGWTG’s 5second movies and then accidentally clicking one of filmbrains limp efforts.

Mixmastermind September 26, 2009 at 8:47 pm

Alright, imma letchu finish yo comments, but Ingluorious Basterds was the best movie of all time.

Russell Bradburn September 26, 2009 at 10:05 pm

@Mixmastermind: OF ALL TIME! :-)

@Threeler and all those agreeing with him: I find your collective disdain for the very concept of civility kind of sad….

coolninjatv September 27, 2009 at 6:36 am

Film brain suck Inglorious Basterds is the best film of 2009

niQboy September 27, 2009 at 7:19 am

One of the first things I learned bout internet was that don’t take anybody’s word in there as a fact.

That is all, carry on

Anonymous_Gamer September 27, 2009 at 12:17 pm

Well no matter who they are, anyone who ranks Transformers 2 above Inglorious Basterds deserves to have the stupid slapped out of them. I couldn’t give a crap if they were the nicest people in the world…. I’m not being a Spoony fan-boy, BUT I will NOT condone Michael Bay out-ranking Tarentino.

It would be the same as saying Alien vs Predator 2 was better than Reservoir Dogs. I’m no-way saying that I.B is in the same league as R.D, but it’s certainly not a horrible film, let alone a horrible Tarentino film.

It is most definitely NOT in the same league, let alone worse than Transformers 2.

Horror Princess September 27, 2009 at 5:15 pm

This argument has gotten way out of control. And I know I am adding fuel to the fire, but ignorance only persists when people who have some semblance of understanding do nothing. I do not see eye-to-eye with Spoony all the time. He has a tendency to appreciate things that seem stuffy, pretentious, and self-righteous; I prefer things that you can look at in one instance as an analytical piece of work or just watch as a cluster of bright colors and funny dialogue. The difference between my disagreements with Spoony and my disagreements with the Film Brain is this: Spoony may nit-pick at something, but at least it has some f**king merit. Film Brain nit-picks at things that, if he had actually paid attention to the movie in the first place, WOULD HAVE MADE FOOKING SENSE!! This is why his opinions have no basis in reality. He has no credibility to say if something is good or bad, better or worse, or make any ranking system for anything. I have not seen Inglorious Bastards (though I want to) nor Transformers 2 (and I know better), so if anyone would like to comment as to MY credentials, note that I did not discuss whether one was better than the other, which means that no one can use that to undermine my opinion at all.
