Zombie Fisherman?!? Oh NOZ!
You know the monotone voice thing really works for this guy; others it would not. very nice review and I look forward to the next

11.30.2008 - 14:00 | NeonLightsSomehow the slow review makes it more interesting. After hearing Doug going 1000 words per minute, it's nice to keep the pace low for a movie review.
Hope Phelous does more, loving the videos.

Great review - love the intro: "What do you want... Oh wait, there's a note here."
I enjoy the intentionally lethargic pacing of Phelous' reviews, and I'd like to see more.
-
I love the slow pace! It's just... different, ya know? It compliments the others on the site well.
Also, I lost it with the "I hooked the sheriff" song. Best laugh I've had in a while. Keep 'em coming!
-
Much, much better than the first one. And I agree, the slow voice actually works here. The bored/sarcastic attitude fits this guy well. If he were trying to be angry, like the Nostalgia Critic, or excited, like the Bum, it would suck, but this guy actually has a knack for being a smart alec. I rather enjoyed this. I don't know if it was laugh out loud funny, but honestly there wasn't any time when I thought I didn't want to finish it. Also, I think the intro was a nice touch. A bit of the AVGN's skit-method, but not over the top. Really, just well done.

11.30.2008 - 15:16 | doctorwillyThis isn't a bad review, but nothing really draws me to it. This isn't a video I would eagerly share with my frds. For now, i dun really want to see him on board. He can still experiment with his ideas and put it on youtube or his own website until he's found something really cool. I believe he can do better

Still couldn't watch it till the end, because the total lack of entertainment in the voice tone bored to stiff -_-
-
Not bad at all...yea, i also think you shouldnt overuse this being-bored-thing but it works great in those scenes where there are people running and screaming all over the place (which is about 50% of any slasher movie). Although the writing is very clever "Yes, He was a teleporting zombie fisherman!" :)
Oh and the whole slasher-genre is perfect review fodder! About as stupid as movies get and THE ENDINGS ARE ALWAYS THE SAME! GAWD!!!

Great review. A major improvement from his last review.

I thought we generally voted no on this guy because he was... boring?

It would help for a more cheerful mood. But you know its actualy good that you tryed to have a creepy atmosphere but this is a parody so you gotta try to be cheerful.
[b]WHAT IS REALY GOOD IS THE EDITING! the funnest bit was the biging when he said I'm ok.[/b]
-
..no comments yet about scenes from Scary Movie being edited in and discussed as part of the original movie?

baba44713: That was done as a joke. No one complains when The Nostalgia Critic puts in clips of M Bison saying "Of course!".
It's a great review all in all, the zombie fisherman bit cracks me up.

This felt like it had a more suitable pace to your slow style and it became more entertaining to watch. Much of the opinions and sarcasm sips through the monotone voice. But it had a couple of moments it just got embarrassing, as in the moaning and groaning that seemed to go on for too long.
And I also still don't know where I stand... if he should be brought onboard or not. This was a better example of what you do and your style, I'll admit that but I'm not sure if it would be fun to watch too many of these videos either.
-
Man was he miscast. Seeing Jack Black get shanked is kinda surreal, I'm so used to seeing him in comedic roles I find myself laughing at his death scene too..........at least these movies were entertaining in one aspect.:)
Another interesting review from the nefarious Phelous. I still appreciate the monotone dialogue and dry wit and he still gets my vote.
-
This guy's a bit hit or miss. Looks like he's just getting started, and could have some potential for zing after zing, but I don't know.

I like your style, man.
Get him aboard the ThatGuy.com train!

a bit better then the last one.
but stil a bit too sloooow for my taste.
-
..I know it was done as a "joke". I just didn't get what the joke was supposed to be.
Anyways, I still am not sure whether I would put this guy on board or not, if it were my choice. His voice is still making me drowsy, and his face expressions sometimes get really irritating and make a good joke or point fall flat. However, editing is pretty good, the review flows nicely and the points - those that somehow transcend the slow delivery and needless grimacing - are pretty good. For instance, I can totally see NC using the exact same script and coming up with a terrific review.
So basically, I think it should be a waste to ditch this guy, but perhaps his place is not in front of the camera but behind it. His scripts and editing skills seem to be top-notch, but he just isn't charismatic or talented enough to pull it off as a complete package. As of yet, that is, I would still like some more material before final decision (and no, I don't consider that "other" 5-second whatever neither clever, nor funny, it's just a meta-joke gone bad that I think I'll ignore).
-
I think this guy is starting to improve. Either that or I'm getting used to his voice.
My favorite part was the "ZOMBIE FISHERMAN?!?".
Once again, I say get him on bored.
