I first heard of you from Linkara's blog post of a panel at magfest I think it was and decided to check your videos out. This is the first review of yours that I've seen, and well done. very funny, you've got an awesome motif going on that I haven't seen before. I love it, so fresh, I'm looking forward to the black gestapo review now lol :D

I loved the "Sephiroth theme" (especially the way it was done) I love it.
If it wasn't already Sephiroth's theme music it would definitely fit Diamanda Hagan. :)
Wow, it really tells you something when the studio who does a poor job of making thier own original movies does worse than when they rip-off a Hollywood studio film.

Three weeks to come back alive? You should have taken that short cut through the Astral Plane... you know, right after Purgatory but just before the Seventh Circle of Hell. Personally, I always carry DPS with me (Divine Positioning System... though it keeps nagging me to repent).
Thoughts:
- Amber Benson? NO! This is why you should never get killed off in a TV show. It does nothing for your career prospects.
And she dies here, too. Is she being type-casted?
- An Asylum film that's NOT a rip-off? Asylum, that's not what we expect from you. Stop it.
- Sorry, I couldn't find my poison pill before your Suicide Ad went down. After that, the magic was gone and my free will returned.
- I was oddly enthralled by the Dance of Exposition. It's only slight less entertaining than the Polka of Plot Holes.
- If you don't know what's causing the bubbles in a pool of water, DON'T STICK BODY PARTS INTO IT!
- 9:55: Railsback reminds me of a less handsome version of Daniel Craig... and that's all I got.
- Remember the days when ghosts couldn't actually harm you directly, even in movies? Those days are long gone. I blame Japan for this.
- Three times? If I wasn't so evil, I might feel empathy.
Good review.

The dance of exposition is a brilliant idea. I'm going to place an mp3 player (back in the days when I was of appropriate age to peruse web sites like this one (when there weren't any websites (containing any color but green) I would have used a tape recorder (and why am I writing all this)) with the exposition music turned up to maximum volume and drown out all expositions in everything I watch (even my wife). Carry on.

Something I noticed in this video: pay attention to Karl's shirt.
Her shirt is normal length right until the moment Amber gets cut in half, then suddenly her shirt is cut in half too while they run through the tunnels - within the same scene (14:00 shirt whole, 14:04 shirt cut off). What the hell happened in those 4 seconds? Did she rip off her shirt to mend Amber's torso, didn't find her and went back to the others within 4 seconds? WHAT?
But it's slight consolation that we get to see the bottom of her jugs when she climbs the ladder. So at least now we know WHY her shirt got torn off.

I know this isn't a term often associated with Diamanda, but I thought that bit was cute. (-:

Great review Diamanda, and yeah I didn't like seeing Amber die again, even when not in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Oddly, my first introduction to Edward Furlong was not Terminator 2. In fact it was when I was fourteen watching the 4th of The Crow sequels. At the time I was one of the few "goth" kids who hadn't seen the original Crow yet. Because of this, I actually really liked the movie. Then later I saw the original and facepalmed myself.
So, I have a request! Review "The Crow: Wicked Things"! I'll also mention that David Boreanaz is the villian!

Even as an Atheist, I believe there was a Jesus, but he was a normal guy. A matyr is the single most powerful person for any cause, and in those times, an Immortal AS a "Messiah" would likely bring a dying 2000 year old religion around for another 2000 years.
And This is possibly the only movie you've reviewed that I've actually seen.

Because jesus DID exist, and saying otherwise makes you sound stupid or ignorant.
The idea that he was a god-child wizard of abstinence and divine power, is silly, of course, but saying a major historical figure didnt exist is ridiculous.
Then again, people dont think the Holocaust happened either.
Also, ignore the other post saying to review Crow 4. You can't handle the sad.

@Jetstream: It's Sepiroth's theme from Final Fantasy Seven.
Anyway, loved the review, I think series 3 was when you really started to shine. The first two have good episodes, but this is when I really start to see the episodes as consistently good whole.
And waht is it with internet comment sections that makes some men think it's a good idea to suggest a carreer change to porn to all/any women?

Just chiming in to say I like Hagan's reviews. Not everything is perfect but I find most of the videos thoroughly enjoyable - sort of like any TV show, you like some episodes and others you're "meh" on or even dislike. But I like the series overall - I think Hagan gets too much crap from people who are too rigid and feel their need to express that they don't "get it" is somehow warranted or justified.
Anywho, just wanted to say I check thatguywiththeglasses for nostalgia critic, nostalgia chick, lupa and hagan. The others I might check out if they cover something that personally interest me, but she's in my "faves" so to speak. :)
