Yeah, I've watched a few more of his reviews, and they didn't click like that first one I liked. I dunno if I was just in an odd mood that day or what. Eh.

Obscurus Lupa Presents: Christmas Eve on Seasame Street
This is hilarious. I was ready to be upset at Lupa mocking my childhood, after all I listened to the Christmas Eve on Seasame Street LP every year growing up. However, Lupa did a great job mixing her mockery with appreciation for the Street. Plus, she's adorable all bundled up in ridiculous winter gear.
Funny story from my childhood. When I was very young my mom was amazed that I could sit and focus on Seasame Street, because my older sister had never been able to when she was that age. However, I didn't get that the bits with people were also part of the show. So when something besides animation or muppets came on, I'd start crying "Street over! Street over!" even if the show was still going.
Hmm, speaking of Christmas, maybe it's time to write my letter to the jolly old elf...
Dear Santa Claus,
I have been a very good boy this year. I've remembered to post deals in the Games on Sale thread almost every day, and I tried very hard to make sure there were updates to the Good Cosplay Thread.
For Christmas I would like a girl like Allison Pregler. Someone smart and funny and pretty and really awesome to be my girlfriend. But my parents say I have to ask for something that will fit in my stocking, or underneath the tree. So I'll just settle for world peace instead.
Sincerely,

Huh, now that you mention it, he does seem to be more fit than he used to be. Of course if I had the beautiful girlfriend he does, I think I'd be motivated to get into better shape as well. Try to look like less of a doof in comparison. Well, congrats to him if he's been putting in the hard work of getting into shape.

The Nostalgia Chick reviews Daria
I loved that show, and this is a pretty good retrospective.

I'm puzzled by the frame of view for Nostalgia Critic's review of the live-action The Grinch. He makes it out that he's the lone voice of reason in what a piece of crap it is, but I don't know anyone who actually likes that movie.
Same. It's nothing on the original, but it's a decent movie.
I watched about 20 minutes of The Grinch before shutting it off.

Channel Awesome Holiday Video 2011 w/ 20+ reviewers.
I'm so eager to watch this, but I don't have time at the moment.

Watching Critic's Disneycember all at once right now, and it's really making me want to go back and watch some of the Disney films I've not seen since I was little, like Fantasia, Bambi, and especially The Rescuers Down Under. That was my big movie when I was 3 and 4 years old; I'd watch it again and again, and get swept away in how awesome that eagle was. Hard to believe I had so much love for it and I haven't seen it in 20+ years. I thought this was an odd side special for Critic to be doing, but over the last couple hours, I've come to really appreciate his doing it.

Wow, more than 40 minutes long, with a song sung by Doug about his Grump character from the Grinch review. I'm only 1/4 of the way through and this is a lot of fun.
EDIT: No Obscurus Lupa? Bah humbug!

Well, MAGfest is over, and most of the video producers are back home. The cross-overs should start coming out in a short while, until then:
Wish we could've gone and seen all them again this year, but we just didn't have the money.

The Spoony/Bennet the Sage video was pretty great, especially in the beginning. That's the only one I've watched though.
So, this might be my new favorite Nostalgia Critic, just for the cameo at the end: http://blip.tv/nostalgiacritic/nostalgia-critic-a-simple-wish-6121611
I mean, now that is nostalgia.

We're supposed to be getting the 4th year anniversary movie sometime soon too, I think.

MarzGurl's Crayon Recreation: Jem and the Hologram
This is fantastic. Usually I find Marzgurl's stuff to border on bland, even though it's been improving, but the fast pacing on these crayon recreations really helps her humor.

I've been working my way through Phaelous's videos and generally enjoying them, though there have been a couple that were a bit slow and I stopped watching (various horror films I'd never heard of, mainly). Might give Lupa a go after his stuff, she shows up a lot and seems to be pretty funny.
Completely forgot about it. Maybe we'll try to catch up tomorrow.
I kinda wish they had stuck with parodying Star Trek OR Star Wars, not both. When they switch, it's quite jarring and not in a good way.
When they did that joke about firing people early on, I kinda had to cring.
I can't say I found it very jarring. The pairing seems natural to me. When I think of Star Wars I think of Star Trek and vice versa.
It's in the character so I don't see the problem, really. Spoony himself says he wasn't 'fired' and that he may be able to return later on.
That said, I didn't bat an eyelash at it.
Aw. And I really liked the last 10-15 minutes of it. Wanted to know what happened next. I just thought it took them too long just to get there.
Tell me about it. Those last few minutes had me hooked.
