If Film Brain reviewed "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari", do you think he would say "Somnabolism"?
Son of the Mask

This movie was just unadulterated PAIN.
Unfunny.
Bad special effects.
And Jaime Kennedy.
I'm waiting for the day when they do a Mask movie that is directly adapted from the comics. That would be the day 5 miles of my home/region would be covered in fat guy goo because I exploded with happiness.

Mike, I love these videos, but I know that Film Brain is planning something to get back at you. Be forewarned.
Also... that montage was very, [i]very[/i] disturbing. :X

I like this guy but the character needs a name. Somthing more than "British person"
-
06.02.2010 - 22:55 | KyaStarHey if the Nostagia Critic can be "That Guy With The Glasses" I don't see why he can't be "A British Person". I think it's pretty funny how he always just declares he is British and says no more.
-
06.03.2010 - 01:12 | NEUTRO!
Maybe it's just me, but I was always under the impression that "I'm a British person" was simply his greeting and "A British Person" was not his character's name. I always thought he was simply MikeJ with a funny ironic greeting.
-
06.09.2010 - 15:28 | alaninho
The greeting is not ironic. For it to be ironic, he would need to not be a British person.
Do people even own dictionaries these days? It's about the thousandth time I've witnessed a misuse of the word 'irony'

The only thing ironic about this is you ironically using the word irony worng.

I think it's cute how he always doffs his tea mug and says "I'm a British person" with his posh accent- he's making fun of a stereotype lol!

Ben Stein can be 'that guy from the first movie' to someone in the world? Thank god there's part of this planet not over-saturated by his monotone agitations.
Still, not a lot of background knowledge.
-
06.02.2010 - 22:46 | KyaStar1) What about bad movie
2) Oh you and Film Brain...
3) Actually I believe Maternaty leave in America is generally unpaid and most mothers can't afford to leave work for too long especially if it's a high stakes job. You need to get back to it ASAP if you want to keep your job. I learned about the differences between American and English maternity leave as a side note in one of my classes last semester... but I don't really recall, so I hope I covered it.
-
06.03.2010 - 00:32 | PLAWell, that sucks. Nothing wrong with a little bit of ebul, ebul socialism.
-
06.03.2010 - 05:33 | boberthavok
Maternaty Leave covered where I work. We have had many mothers to be leave and come back and say that they still got paid(not there full salary but like 70 percent of it I believe.) My friend who works for a different company also got paid when she had her daughter. So yes in America they do have paid maternaty leave.
Also if they will be out for a while I believe there is a paper they can fill out that will guarantee there job will still be there when they get back.
-

That's pretty true. We do have it, but it's really frowned upon if you take a long one and don't plan on becoming a full time mom. That pressure is on sick days as well.
-
06.05.2010 - 00:08 | DwaneIt depends on where you work. A friend of mine got 3 weeks paid leave, and then went back to work so she could afford to take care of the baby. The baby in that movie looked a lot older than 3 weeks.
-
06.09.2010 - 15:29 | alaninhoOMG stop talking about maternity leave you TEDIOUS BORES

I love Mike J; He's quickly become one of my my favorite reviewers.
Yea, he might need another nickname, since Film Brain is British too...but then again, I kinda like it. It's suiting.
Keep up the good reviews!
-
06.03.2010 - 02:08 | Asuka Soryu
Well, there are other guys with... Glasses.
-
06.02.2010 - 22:51 | Sputnix
I hate to admit it but I own this movie :(
and what sucked is some cool deleted scenes such as an extended song sequence was only available with commentary so you couldn't here what the actors were saying was well retarded
-
06.02.2010 - 22:52 | TragicGuineaPig
Sooo, instead of Vanilla Ice, we get, what, Pistachio Ice?
-
06.02.2010 - 22:54 | IamlucekI watched your stuff from the beginning and frankly loved most of it just drop the puppet it was a stupid gag once now it's just annoying and redundant.
-
[quote=TragicGuineaPig] Sooo, instead of Vanilla Ice, we get, what, Pistachio Ice?[/quote]
With a bit of Conan O'Brien! (Well, the hair, anyway...)
-
06.02.2010 - 23:03 | TragicGuineaPigAnd the cartoonist's name is "Tim Avery"? Seriously? They're going to rip off the name of one of the greatest cartoonist in history?
Movie, you can go to hell!
-
06.03.2010 - 09:32 | QuestionTheMajority
I was about to say the same thing. Seeing ads for this movie angered me. Seeing a review of the movie infuriated me. I can't imagine what actually sitting through this thing would do to me. Simply viewing that they had the gall to imply that the simpering dolt of a cartoonist in this movie is related to Tex Avery made me feel like going on a killing spree.
Of course, the pointless CGI baby and dog sequences didn't help in that regard.
-
06.03.2010 - 14:14 | EbalanceI believe it's a reference to the fact that probably the most famous sequence in the original "The Mask" was an "homage" to Tex Avery's famous, "Little Red Hot Riding Hood" cartoon. I'm referring of course to the point in the movie where he changes into a wolf, howls over a pretty girl, has a HUGE jaw drop, and then starts hitting himself in the head with a hammer. In fact I think you could say much of the original, including the "style" of the Mask was directly inspired by Tex Avery's cartoons, specifically the one I mentioned.
So despite the horrible film... I don't think they weren't trying to drag his name through the mud so much as trying to make a not so clever reference.
-
06.04.2010 - 00:08 | KeijiKGWell of course they weren't trying to drag Jim Carrey's name into the mud.
HE DIDN'T CREATE THE MASK!
Now the question of dragging Mike Richardson, John Arcudi and Doug Mahnke's names into the muds, that might be a different matter.
-
06.02.2010 - 23:05 | rageofkyubii
I'm just waiting for when Film Brain shows up and faces off against his cutout. lmao
-
06.02.2010 - 23:05 | DesertEagle
Great episode. Absurdity humor for the win!
-
06.02.2010 - 23:06 | Kolicyeah, this movie was pure shit. It shit on Tex Avery's legacy and it shit on Norse mythology.
The behavior of the mask wearers makes even less sense when the first movie made it clear that the mask just enhanced the whatever were the true qualities of someone's personality.
Reserved, shy, doormat Stanly Ipkiss became charming, strong, and silly.
Dorian was a sadist at heart and became a monster.
Evidently "Tim Avery" is a 6 year old boy at heart, I guess?
-
06.02.2010 - 23:25 | rcivitYou were watching 2girls1cup!? HAHAHAHA that's sick!!
Thimbolithm !!!!
-
06.03.2010 - 12:58 | Serenity FrostIs THAT what that music is from? I was wondering what that running gag was about. I was too afraid to actually ask though.
-
06.02.2010 - 23:30 | TrillionMikeJ, you are hilarious and I love every one of your videos!
-
06.02.2010 - 23:41 | Void
Film Brain puppet's gonna haunt my nightmares. I swear it stares straight through my soul...
Symbolism!
-
06.02.2010 - 23:44 | The Hardcore Kid
THYMBOLISM!
But sadly, this movie has none. Jamie Kennedy can't act for shit, the special effects are horrible, the plot is stupid, the whole movie is just boring, random and over the top. Damn Hollywood.
-
06.02.2010 - 23:46 | DarthThought
ok....so this is just an in joke about the whole "you can't review that i already did"? I was actually about to ask if you really did hate Film Brain because he happened to trash a film you like
All and all I like both of you film brain and mike j though mike is a little dryer in the humor than some people may like.
i agree it's either going to be critic on a stick or the real film brain facing off with his cut out either way looking forward to it
and about the review really i can't comment i loved the mask but knew as soon as they announced that they were making a sequel they would screw it the hell up. So i stayed away
-
06.02.2010 - 23:46 | takineko
I wanted so badly for the actual Film Brain to show up and blow his mind. "FILM BRAIN! YOU HAVE A CLONE!"
-
06.02.2010 - 23:21 | RamzaI like the reviews, but I can't help but feel you're overdoing that whole "Film Brain on a stick" gag, by a lot.
Aside from that, your reviews are quite funny.
-
06.02.2010 - 23:28 | Fluffyman
This is yet another case about budget-to-humor ratio, they spent a whole lot of money on this flop, when the humor is just insulting on all senses.
This is also one of the few movies that Richard Roeper admitted he almost walked out on.
-
06.02.2010 - 23:46 | MattitudeYour humour always gets me in tears, good form!
-
06.02.2010 - 23:52 | SeraphemHO-LY (*)&*)(^...I knew better then to even try to watch that movie before, I could tell it would be bad, but (&*^(&*^* that thing looks even worse then I imagained. Did ANYONE involved with that peice of offal even WATCH the first movie? Or just the trailer?...it just boggles the mind that ANYONE though that film was a good idea. DAMN!
-
06.03.2010 - 00:01 | Ellie Vator
Yay! Keep this up, can't wait till next time. I can't wait for FilmBrains responce either, it would be cool if you two could do an review togehter for real.
-
06.03.2010 - 00:04 | Carrie
You are one of my favorites, keep it up! :cheer:
-
06.03.2010 - 00:05 | BabyImplosion
nice to see part 2 up so quickly.
wonder who's at your door.
-
06.03.2010 - 00:07 | fjernArghh.. Loki is not the son of Odin.
If you ain't gonna be bothered by following the originals of the myths, don't try to stick with them.
-
06.03.2010 - 22:48 | katesaccountA-freaking-men. The Norse mythology dork in me just headdesked.
