    This is an awesome review! Now we know what the bum will say about a movie he hates!

    He should totally do The Seventh Seal!

    LOL...explosionism...
  • SugarlessFifi
    If you read the end of each of his films. There's a tiny caption expressing his true feelings.
  • CrimsonDusk  - Loved the paradox
    I loved how you start and keep saying that Citizen Kane is a crappy movie but by your own words you say it's a good movie although you admit that it's very complicated but that is what it makes it a great movie. It's like the reverse of your usual reviews when you start saying that the movie is great but you realize is crappy but this time you kept saying it's crappy but you learned allot.
  • Chosen Zelos  - Oh dear.

    How much acid is the Bum on to think that Citizen Cane is crap. XD

    Yeah well....it pretty much sucked.

    Mainly because of the years of media giving away then ending before you see the movie. When you know what the object is, the whole movie is pointless and boring as hell.

    Your feelings are shared, Chester.

    I'm not very fan of chester, But I admit this on his interesting. You show if today, a great movie like citizen kane is release, all the critic will destroy it. When I see movies like "lady of the water" and "free wither" be considered like dumb ass shiting movie and no like the damm good movie they are, I'm agreed and sad with that idea.

    Lovely critique Doug, you very well could be the next Roger Ebert. I applaud your efforts.

    I honestly went into this thinking he was going to say his normal "OMG this is the best movie I have EVER seen in my life!" When you said it sucked, I just fell out of my chair.. Caught me off guard again! LOL!
  • B gal
    Imagine if he said a negative review on the dark knight. Hmmmmm....

    Crimson Dusk pretty much spelled out my thoughts. Love how you praise the film yet so thinly veiled under "criticisms."
  • GodOfPlague
    I legitimately hate citizen kane, Now I like old movies but god I hated citizen kane.
  • baba44713  - Great too see you again, Chester!
    And I simply have to reply to one of the comments above. "Lady in the water" good? Seriously? I hope that was being sarcastic..

    "Hey, I'll film a story where I write a book which saves the world. And which is called 'Cookbook'. And a fairy will come out of the water and superintendent will take care of her and it will all be based on an old Chinese folk tale. And some wolves will attack the fairy. Oh, and the wolves will be made of grass! And will be called scrunts! And I need monkeys in my movie! Three-headed monkeys! Called tartutics! And mustard! I need mustard! Big mustard-coated giant eagles flying through jelly donuts with disembodied heads of captain Pickard floating against a beautiful teal background... damn, the drugs are wearing off. Honey? One more LSD please.."

    Wow, that was unexpected

  • pascalbg  - Hahawesome
    I saw the movie he reviewed for once! And it was great, haha. Loved how he's angry at the movie, saying it's pretencious and such. I really laught when he said that Speed Racer was way better. :D

    I've personally never seen Citizen Kain and I only ever heard about it whenI first came ot this site.
  • jkthedj  - HOORAY!

    I always wanted to see Chester do a movie that has been around for a long time (Like he did with "Follow That Bird"), and I hope he gets to do more Older films "as time goes by"...speaking of which, "Casablanca" should be done sometime soon.

    The one thing I think you should add are some visuals, (Once again, like he did with "Follow That Bird") Somehow I think the idea of showing things that are sped up while Chester describes them is Hilarious! Think about it...

    P.S. You're not the only one who thinks CK is pretentious.

    haha, finally a movie Chester doesn't like!! I'm happy it is already up, since I missed it yesterday :( since my conection died on my XD

    Is it because it didn't feature a warm building, Chester? haha

    Aaaah! Glad to see the Bum back!
  • Third3ye
    Acid? I believe it's called crack and it does wonderful things to your mind. You start hating Citizen Kane, you start loving Keanu Reeves movies (except for Johnny Mnemonic and A Scanner Darkley), you also watch "Lost" and "American Idol" frequently, while enjoying a nice cup'o'Starbucks.

    Wait a minute...
    OMG! If you do the math...
    AAAAAH!! EVERYONES ON CRACK!
    AAAAAAAAAAHEspecially Joel Schumacher...

    Finally someone who feels like I do that this isn't the greatest movie ever made. I still think it is a good movie but there are many other much better movies out there like The Godfather and Casablanca.
  • garethxxgod  - Citizen Kane > Casablanca
    avatar
    Chester, your right. Any man who publicly visits with Adolf Hitler clearly does not deserve his own mock biopic. CLEARLY.

    Might I make a suggestion? Instead of the Seventh Seal, do a review of the Seven Samurai. It's pure comedy gold pal, I'm sure you'd dig it.

    This the greatest thing I've ever seen in my LIFE!!!

    Chester A Bum is Back! HuuuuRRRAAAAYYYYEEEEE!!!! !!!!
  • Destroy  - Must. Watch. Film.
    You know what's sad? I haven't watched Citizen Kane yet. I should not be allowed to say I'm a fan of cinema.

    And I'm liking how this is the only way you can praise a film, That Guy! Good vid.
  • Datadog  - This will probably be me when I'm old and senile.
    avatar
    It really bothers me when this guy is depicted as a raving lunatic yet I somehow agree with every word he says. Then there's always that disheartening moment when the "Seriously" disclaimer comes up at the end to remind me that Chester's views are only lies.

    I'll just continue viewing these from the other side of the fence, under the illusion that Chester and I are the only normal people and everyone else is psychologically insane. Go Speed Racer! :D

    (Seriously, though, Citizen Kane wasn't too bad either.)
  • HugeNCfan93
    I've been waiting for Chester to say "Oh my god, this is the worst film I've ever seen in my life!" for quite a while, but I never expected him to say it about Citizen Kane. Though it makes perfect sense; he says Speed Racer and Twilight are great, but he says Citizen Kane is awful. It's like he had his head on backwards.:D Great review!
  • SiegfreidZ  - Old reviews? Woo!
    avatar
    Seeing review of older films would be cool, and I agree with the Seven Samurai. It's such a good movie and nearly iconic in today's film society. Also, seeing reviews of old films by comedy stars might be good, too, such as The Court Jester with Danny Kaye.

    Somehow I knew that he would say it was the worst movie he had ever seen in his life.
  • SetAbominae88  - That movie was dull.

    Kane was just boring and dull. It was an art film. BLAARG!!!!!!
