    I know a lot of people who didn't like Kickassia all that much, but it seems you all really had a lot of fun making it despite Film Brain being a bit OOC with his giddy "Nostalgia Critic minion" persona.

    Keep up the good work and here's hoping we see you in the 3rd year anniversary, Mr. British Hardcore Kid! :D

    Funny thing about his "Nostalgia Critic minion" persona...

    I liked it a lot. In fact, it was THAT performance that made me like Film Brain.

    I had listened to this a while back and I find the whole story behind the making of this movie fascinating.

    Am I the only one that wasn't bothered by how some of the characters were OOC? This was a silly movie, the reviewers were playing character archetypes, and it shouldn't be taken THAT seriously.

    Happy birthday Mathew. I'm probably one of the few people who loved your character in Kickassia. Then again I loved everything about Kickassia. I always love hearing about stuff that goes on behind the scenes.

    Happy Birthday! You were great in Kickassia!

    I have liked your videos since I started watching them, just I haven't been watching them since you started making them. I haven't even seen Equilibrium, but I would agree with you that it is very 1984-ish... but I don't have a real opinion on it. Also, wasn't Bargo just going to be Bargo? That is what Doug said on the DVD anyway.

    Why is everyone downvoting this so much? It was just as entertaining as the other Kickassia commentaries, which were hilarious, so I dunno.

    I have been on a plane probably around 20 times, but there was only one time that I traveled alone, and that was last summer (2009). It was pretty nerve-wracking to make sure I made the connecting flight and kept track of my tickets and all, but I relate to how you said when you are in a situation like that you surprise yourself with your own abilities or whatever. Cause I do depend on people a lot too, in new situations.

    Happy Birthday! Just a note, your commentary for the last part is almost silent, I have my speakers on max and could barely hear it.

    You're only 20?! Whipper Snapper!! *shakes her fists*

    Happy Birthday!

    I shall assume the (Birthday) part of the title means it either is or was recently your birthday?

    In either case Happy Birthday my good man!

    I enjoy commentaries like this, it's like watching the video with the contributor : )

    What? No way!! Today is MY Birthday! (true story)
    Anyway, I enjoyed this video; you were great in this movie.

    I LOVE Kickassia, everyone did a great job and it stands as a great entertaining film. Your commentary was a delight to listen to :D

    Happy (late) birthday!

    It's a good commentary. I think that if I were in your place, I'd feel much the same. If I ever made video reviews and by some miracle TGWTG picked me up and I met the gang in a big video like this, I'd get sooooo starstruck. You're a lucky guy, Matthew.

    I'll have you know also that actualy, before Kickassia I hadn't seen any Film Brain videos. It was because of this movie that I first watched your reviews and now I'm a big fan so... there ya go. XD

    One more thing - the first time I flew alone (Australia to Canada and back) I dislocated my knee in the Denver airport and it needed surgery to fix it properly, AND the airline lost my luggage twice, so... again, you had it pretty good.
  • rockybalboa211  - Your younger yet so much cooler then me :D

    Happy Birthday FilmBrain, and thank you for doing this magnificent commentary for Kickassia! :D
    Your brilliant "OF COURSE"!! :D
  • rockybalboa211  - Linkara seems to be such an awesome guy! :D

    The Nazi scene was hilarious!!
    I mean Nazis are bad, and NAZI'S are good!
    Also Phelous is awesome, and Handsome Tom is Handsome!!

    I enjoyed listening to this, I was interested in how this was all set up. And happy 20th by the way! =)

    Film Brain is only 20? I thought he was 21 or 22.

    Your airplane/traveling story gets me right here, FB *stabs hearts* since I flew out of the country for the first time ever, and it was my first time ever being on a plane!. It was 9 hours getting there, and I read/talked to the people next to me most the time, but we had a lot of turbulence during the flight, and the longest stretch of it happened when I had to pee.

    "I like being silly"
    :D I demand that you be chased by Tickle Me Elmo, then!

    Anywho, many happy returns to the day [strike]Eeyore[/strike], Mathew! Hope you get to eat an American-size piece of cake and scoop of ice cream!

    I love these Kickassia commentaries. I even own the DVD, so I know the deleted Nazi-scene joke you're referring to. Great job on this one, and hope to see you in whatever happens next year.

    American portion sizes can be quite large, and I've attempted to explain to my European friends that one isn't necessarily expected to finish everything on one's plate. It seems somehow foreign to them.

    Wait... He flew from England to San Francisco? That's an odd flight schedule. Would have figured a flight from England would transfer on the east coast.

    You've made ma starting chanting wbisc whenever somebody said "come on everybody"

    Am I the only one having trouble with the second half of part 2? It stops half way and then shows me really annoying ads.
  • Amethyst07  - LIKE!
    avatar
    I started watching Mathew's reviews because of Kickassia as well, and the ummm, "charm" of his character in that was that he was so endearingly sychophantic (spelled it wrong, I think- oops!) that you want to hit him over the head with a hammer and/or run and hide in a closet. Again, this is my response to the KICKASSIA version of Film Brain- not Mathew in general.

    But, regardless, happy birthday young'un! :D Have some booze and watch a 15+ rated movie or 3 that DOESN'T suck!

    How can there be so many people that take shots at Film Brain's Age...
    That is just plain AGE-ISM!!!

    I feel your discomfort, that plane trip i took to S.Korea was a chapped sphincter...and that as well.

    He didn't like mushy peas? OUTRAGE! Food is at its best when mushy. Well, that just means more for the rest of us Brits.

    Its really sweet to hear how much fun you had on this shoot. It does look as if all of you had a great time even if it was a lot of work. I just hope you guys get another chance to do something like Kickassia.

    Wait a moment...If nov.30 is your birthday, then you have the same birthday as Sir Winston Churchill, former Britain Prime Minister, the same birthday as my own grandad, and a birthday one day after mine. Mind Blown
