Dude I sympathize totally.

stop trying so hard
-
05.19.2011 - 16:41 | Jackass MaskWho me? I'm not even really trying at all. Really trying would be to actually e-mail her and try getting to know her beyond what is presented in her videos.
Trying too hard would borderline on to stalking. Not doing that, ever. She's a person with her own life, and I respect that.
I just think she's cool and I have a small crush on her.

What makes you think he was even talking about that? I thought he was talking about that hypertime joke you made. Or they're just a troll and don't like you for being first.

Does Lupa really have to ASK why everybody is in love with her? Nothing like a redhead :-)
Anyway, good review, a bit confusing, though... you should have included some backstory...

I never heard of this movie until now, how could they have wasted such a great opportunity to have all of The Doctors from the past and present together come together and interacting with one another for one crappy enviromental PSA-ish story that goes nowhere?
Such a shame, I really see it could have had potentional if you took out the lame 'air pollution' storyline.

Like JackassMask, I'm not in love with Lupa, but I can see the attraction. She's pretty, she's smart, she's geeky, and she's funny. And she seems a lot more approachable than the other women on the site, but that's just my opinion.
Also, I liked Linkara getting annoyed with Phelous' meta jokes. For the most part, I find them funny, but I agree with Linkara that those gags do get a little old sometimes.

Pretty sure that Phelous noted in the intro that he doesn't like backstories that much. Unless you mean about all the Doctor Who actors, in which case yeah, I agree.
This review was hilarious though, one of the best I think I've ever seen. Phelous' sarcasm and metahumor was outrageous, as were Linkara's reactions.
-
05.19.2011 - 01:04 | August M.Yay! More crossovers. Great review to such a wasted opportunity.

good review

I think everybody knows why the guys love Lupa. It's the red hair it enchants us, like a siren.
-
05.19.2011 - 00:44 | Robert the KidI love that Doctor Who esque effect.

Okay, enough with the double posts. You CAN edit your posts, you know.

05.25.2011 - 22:11 | Morgoth Bauglir
Provided you didn't take too long between times.
-
05.19.2011 - 00:50 | TheMentalLizardOh my gosh this had me in stitches. and even thought this movie was a wasted opportunity I had many a fangirl squee from finding out about this.
-
Hey double posts are totally the new "FIRST".
I think all the hilarious snark in this vid will kill me before the gas can (and can't because it doesn't feel like working half the time?) I guess they seriously thought this movie could run on fanservice alone.
Tell me there's any, ANY other time where two or more Doctors are in the same media outside of Doctor Who...please?
Oh and Gas beats Marganars beats- ah screw it, I'm not doing that this week.
-
Gotta love crossovers!
Yeah, the Airzone Solution was basically people trying to fill their time in a post-Doctor Who 90's era but didn't succeed in the end.
there were various TV and made for Video films featuring Doctor Who casts doing Doctor Who things in non-Doctor Who environments. It shows how much determined the British are for DW.
And it was a huge mistake to cancel Doctor Who in 1989. I mean, the 90's would be amazing with Doctor Who, especially when you have a Britain filled with bands like Oasis, Radiohead & Blur, along with the rise of DW-inspired Electronic Music by Orbital & Underworld and the return of the Labour Party. A Doctor Who series made during the 90's with a 90's culture would be amazing instead of a cheesy American TV movie. Big mistake there BBC.

OHAI DREAM CROSSOVER YOU LOOK SO SEXY TODAY HUH
Phelous and Linkara, you and your videos never disappoint. This movie is idiotic on so many levels I can't even. Captain Planet would be ashamed to have his name attached to it. This is like the Star Wars Holiday Special of godawful environmentalist propaganda, and I say this as an environmentalist.
-
05.19.2011 - 01:06 | Themonsean
That was awesome. And its for the best you didn't make out w/ Lupa there Linkara, Liz would have been mad. Also Todd has dibs.
-
05.19.2011 - 01:14 | jdh1271This is pretty the Star Wars Holiday Special of the Doctor Who universe.
Seriously you've got Doctors 3,5,6 and 7 why waste that with some stupid PSA crap.
Great Review
-
05.19.2011 - 01:13 | Ctugreat teamup for a review...tho that movie almost sounded like a plot for an old doctor who episode
"JesuOtaku, but she's apparently Nash's girlfriend." :(:(:(
-
05.20.2011 - 02:48 | trlkly
I always knew she had a boyfriend, so that doesn't surprise me. But Nash?! Seriously? I just can't see it. They must be very different people in real life.
-
05.19.2011 - 01:14 | CaptainSpaz manGreat review! I can't wait to see other the team ups this year. Phelous and The Cinema Snob? Linkara and CR? Nostalgia Critic and EVERYONE?!?!?!?
-
05.25.2011 - 22:12 | Morgoth BauglirPhelous and the Cinema Snob already did a collaboration last year with "Troll 4".

05.19.2011 - 01:19 | sonicchica
Poor Lupa, it's just something that makes everyone attracted to you. Must be the red hair!

Hey, Nicholas Briggs! He ALSO played the Doctor! He did a series of unlicensed Doctor Who audio stories called "Audio Visuals". Though amateur, they were mostly pretty good. Briggs played a fine Doctor. I recommend checking them out. Also, many of the people involved in the Audio Visuals ended up working for Big Finish, the company that is now making official Doctor Who audio dramas.
-
For removing my comment. Keepin it classy in here.
Seriously, what was so bad about pointing it out that I find it creepy all the commenters are basically obsessed with any of the contributors that are female?
but I guess it looks like they've also removed the comments I found so creepy. Good to know the chinese goverment runs tgwtg
-
05.19.2011 - 01:52 | hollychristine
uh, not sure what you're talking about...
-
05.19.2011 - 07:04 | dennett316
The TGWTG mods seem to be coming down hard on comments that are even slightly confrontational.
I know they don't want anyone offended, but I've had some very, very mild criticism deleted while I've seen comments left that are much worse.
In one Linkara thread some idiot was calling Iron Liz a man and I called him the idiot he was, my comment was deleted but his was left....it's bizarre.
Is everyone so fragile that any and all negativity is deemed censor-worthy?
-
Do you have a link for that? I'm more than happy to look in to it for you. Usually if we're unpublishing comments like that we'll remove an entire thread (which is how some innocuous comments get removed, if you're responding in a thread that has been unpub'd). It seems out of place that your response ONLY would have been removed.
I (the night mod) rarely unpublish things beyond "FIRST!!!!" posts or things that I've been asked to take down (slamming someone's personal appearance was most recent, before that - a death threat). But we leave plenty of comments containing negativity. See: Comments on Film Brain's episode today or SadPanda's last music video.
We let a lot of stuff slide, but for the record, we'd prefer people follow the same rules in the comments as we have on the forums, and that includes no personal attacks.
Feel free to message Rob or myself if you're having issues.

In the system we use, comments are never deleted. They are simply unpublished. They appear as grayed out comments in the mod's view of the comments page. That way we can keep track of comments that have gone off the list to the public.
So after a simple check for your unpublished comments -- guess what?
You're nowhere.
You have one comment on the subject, and it's up there for all to see. Otherwise -- ZIP.
So no -- nobody touched your comments. And we could care less if you think it's creepy that some fans are obsessed with the female contributors, so we wouldn't remove such comments anyway. That's your opinion and you're welcome to it.
So I suggest you have long chat with yourself before you send letters to the Chinese Government.
Just a thought.

If the thumbs up/down system for the user comments was still available right now, ^^ that comment would had have 78843404312535465 thumbs up xD

I know this may have nothing to do with the thread, but... I love you, Rob. You're an amazing part of TGWTG and I wish you were in more things publicly so I could praise you there.
This review was great, by the way. The 8-bit Mickey cameos had me laughing every time.
-
05.19.2011 - 10:16 | KingNothing
You gotta learn to roll with it the way I did. Write an angry blog about your removed comment, get 30 responses, and wait until the mods remove the thumbs system (because you bitched).
Start a really, really unimportant revolution!
But, uh... what was your comment about?
-
05.19.2011 - 17:19 | hollychristinePersonally, I miss the thumbs up/down. I know I'm not the only mod wondering why it went away.
-
05.19.2011 - 21:48 | TragicGuineaPig
It seemed to have disappeared right around the time there was an angry blog about TGWTG fanboys/fangirls thumbing down comments critical of TGWTG. Frankly, I don't see the problem with it. To me, thumbs down don't really mean anything except that someone didn't like my comment; if their reason was that important, they would reply. Frankly, I liked getting feedback.
So, yeah, I vote to bring back the Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down. Or at the very least, the Thumbs Up; that way, at least good comments get recognized.
-
06.06.2011 - 21:38 | NotACritic
I'm not much of a fan of thumbs up/down systems because they usually involve some form of censorship of the disliked comment, which I disaprove of. I'm okay with censoring inapropriate comments and flaming, something that is up to the mods, who can be held to a standard. But censoring because it's unpopular just doesn't seem right to me, since unpopularity can come just as much from inapropriateness as from simply being a (within the context) rare yet still perfectly valid opinion. And faceless crowds can't be called out for being unethical.
If no censorship is extant, then I have no problem. But I don't consider it even remotely good for telling whether a comment is actually good or not. In my experience it's usually used to express opinion on the subject, not quality of expression.
The TGWTG system didn't seem so bad, since the comments were still visible, but they were greyed out, which I still consider undue censorship.

05.19.2011 - 01:39 | blackraven87This is so far the only BBV production I've seen. xP Fine review, though I was kinda expecting you to touch on/make joke about Nicholas Briggs since he wrote & appeared in it, and course other Who connections including his voices for the revived DW. It still was fine without it.
-
05.19.2011 - 01:45 | cheesymikePhelan, if you actually want to be hit in a review, just ask Brad! He was there.
eta: malhex, you beat me, you bastard!
-
05.19.2011 - 06:21 | malhex
well, it could have been worse..brad could have beaten both of us...to it. :p

05.19.2011 - 01:41 | The_Awesometeer
I love this time of year with a lot of cross overs and cameos
-
05.19.2011 - 01:51 | SheikWhen I heard the "nature will find a way" I thought of Jeff Goldblum....especially the way he said that XD
-
05.19.2011 - 21:40 | TragicGuineaPigThat's exactly what I thought. They should have included that clip from JP.

05.19.2011 - 01:55 | Ben_from_G-town
Great and hilarious review, you guys. I'm not a big Doctor Who fan, but I can see how disappointing something like this would be to their fans. To waste them on a horrible environmentalist propaganda? WTF?
So, that's Obscuras Lupa, huh? Don't think I've ever watched her stuff before. Maybe I'll check it out sometime.
My favorite parts were Phelous constantly making fun of the review itself and Linkara getting pissed off at him for it. :D

05.19.2011 - 05:25 | Shinigami
You won't be disapointed. Trust me in this.
-
The whole message of "Business can't save us but government mandate can" was, honestly, pretty scary. Maybe it is just me being an American but I have always found the prospect of looking to empower the government in order to "save" us to be an incredibly terrifying and dangerous notion. Sort of like making manacles and handing them to a guy with a gun and offering yourself to slavery. I would think this point would be even more scary for the Brits who can't own personal firearms.
-
06.06.2011 - 21:57 | NotACriticFrankly, I don't see much of a diference. I see cases of both being easily corrupting/corruptible. It's down to human behaviour, in the end.
You're dammed if you do, you're dammed if you don't. At least we're not living in the thirteen hundreds.

05.19.2011 - 02:03 | Sebastian_Havelock
Why couldn't Nicloa Bryant use that voice with Perri rather than that horrific whining American accent? Could have made her an ex public schoolgirl botanist and hardly changed the character!
Notice how the villain resembles Cherie Blair?

05.19.2011 - 02:05 | Amaretta
Didn't really understand most of what was going on...
-
05.19.2011 - 02:06 | Dark PaladinCrossover tally so far:
Snob hit Lupa
Linkara hit Phelous

Hey, Airzone's Solution; It's beginning to look a lot like Fishmen!
Anyone here watch the original "Edge of Darkness"? It was a miniseries in the 80s, and if you've seen it, a lot of this movie (like ghosts turning up to give characters clues) will seem very familiar... only a bit dumber!

Phelous seems to have difficulty sharing the screen with someone who isn't expressing hatred towards him.

Of course that also means I both have and haven't seen the 3rd anniversary special. And it is, or may be, awesome.
Maybe...Yes...No
Anywho, odd movie. So many Doctors but nary a Tardis between them. Loved the random cameos from everyone, especially The Snob. Brad Jones, you are my Jesus.
By the way, I'm not in love with Lupa, but she is cute. I have a crush on JesuOtaku, but she's apparently Nash's girlfriend.
(Shatner styled shake and build up) Naaaaaaaaaaaaash!
