Dreamcatcher - Nostalgia Critic 

Channel Awesome YAAAAAAAAAAY

loving that intro could you use that all the time

You should review Stephen King's The Night Flier, it's god awful.

Nostalgia Critic is my inspiration lol

Oh no!

I swear, every Stephen king book has a "He actually wrote this while high on X". Guy liked drugs.

I thought this was really good too

@@karenamyx2205 up until his car accident iirc His post car accident writings are a bit less insane ( just a bit )

In other words, he was once again WUI (writing under the influence)! 😅

Fun fact: he was high while writing anything.

Lol

#justiceforchester no wait.... #sandwichforchester !

*Gives Chester a grilled cheese sandwich 🥪 and a bowl of tomato basil soup 🍲 *

It's Nostalgia Critc, did you really think he was ever going to give him a sandwhich

My mom considers this one of the worst King books ever; right alongside “From a Buick 8” which also came out around the same time

@@LucyLioness100 can confirm, i’m a huge king fan and reading this disaster was painful.

@@LucyLioness100 Well, if your mom says it, must be legit.

@@LucyLioness100 what’s From A Buick 8 about exactly?

I think this is the constipation/hemorrhoids from being WAY too into downers.

Mandalore863 he went on to be the punisher after this movie. And the mist.

Thomas Jane looks like Harvey Dent from "The Dark Knight"

@@marcoluna3726 yep he looks very similar to Aaron Eckhart

@@marcoluna3726 he should play him in The Batman 2

Thomas Jane is an underrated actor, he deserves more recognition. I’m glad he’s doing another King adaptation From a Buick 8.

Ben Wasserman definite yes

Ben Wasserman Well, he just did

Ben Wasserman he earns a freckle each time he does.

You are now reading this in Morgan Freeman's Voice.

Ben Wasserman I hope the mushy pea thing is explained, if not, is it a reference?

I don't know this aged poorly or not but I'm laughing 😂😂😂

Welcome to Corantine

Hahaha Are you talking about the year 2020?

Ahllen Yep

Silly me not tagging the original reply

One like equals one sandwich given

Backstory goes that the dudes that helped Duddits made a dreamcatcher together. And because of all the psychic stuff it sort of binds them. Or something. Been a while since I watched the movie or read the book.

I don't think back story is a good enough reason

+TwinkleToez26 Um, yes it is.

I've noticed the titles of King stories have very little to do with the actual book...

except for Carrie, Cujo, Bazaar, The Shining, Thinner ... eh you catch my drift.

King has actually said the same thing. (I think specifically in reference to The Tommyknockers.)

Fervidor this is literally the reason I couldn't get far into this book.

Fervidor Ah, George Lucas Syndrome.

kungfuman82 Yeah, except I'm pretty sure Lucas sometimes did it on purpose. He even said in an interview that he brought Stephen Spielberg in for a while to help out with ROTS, and would claim that some of his decisions were from Spielberg since he knew they wouldn't be questioned that way. Which is pretty damn sneaky, and shows how well he understood this phenomenon. See, the problem was that Lucas actually wanted Star Wars to be kinda stupid, which I imagine complicated the matter a whole lot.

The number one mistake in writing fiction. Never use the first draft. Also, get proper feedback before publishing.

I loved this book. The shit weasels were scary because they were basically parasites that were certain to kill whoever they infected and Duddits wasn’t a fucking alien. His purpose was way deeper and made much more sense. Another disappointing movie adaptation

So you're saying this is all leading up to the Stephen King cinematic universe?

@@legoking6165 the books are a shared universe the movies most likely aren't

Or........ and im maybe stretching here..... it's lazy writing

@@dustygozangas8191 no it isn't, many authors have common things they enjoy writing about what interests the writer is what they like to write about such as Grisham writing about laws and lawyers and things like that, so it is not it is just things that interests him so he writes about it

jontron, nostalgia critic and don't starve? you have good taste ;p

LucianoThePig You sir, you are gold.

*murderous stabbing sounds*

ledzeppelin711 it's a reference to the line at 10:14

Thank god i am not the only one who immediately thought of that.

Thanks!

Not even close It's still the x-files or nightmare before christmas one

Look up the backwards message on RU-vid. It's hilarious.

I don't know, I really loved the Goosebumps intro. That could just be nostalgic fondness for Goosebumps talking though.

Sapphirewingthefurrycritic what is it?

Literally

Where did you poop

*rimshot*

I must find this movie…

And to all his critics he can just say "Sorry, couldn't hear you over the sound of how rich I am. Enjoy your cup-noodles." because Big Macs sell more then moldy cheese. Love King :D

MacGuffin I have enjoyed all his books to at least some degree. I have enjoyed very few movies based on them, though.

Poppy M My personal theory is that his horror novels in many cases are like the "Tales from the Crypt" series. They have a certain style of horror/dark comedy that exist more to entertain and freak out then actually "scare" people.

11/22/63 is my favorite book of all time

He has mostly good ones. It's just that his novels aren't well turned into films

😂😂😂😂

Gilbert Gottfried up in here.

"OPERATOR? OPERATOR"!!? *clicking on gun trigger* xD

Doppio be like

And the bad guy in "Scooby Doo and the Witches Ghost" was modeled on him.

Scooby doo comic books is too far down the rabbit hole for me

Also, why did Tamara peeing herself turn me on

*ahem details...

SAME

+Drelas You may be omarashi...

XD Oh God, That Gravity Falls skit did it for me. That made my day.

Catzilla Morgan hammed it up hardcore. I bet he had a blast.

"...otherwise shoot this mothafu**er and let us take our fraternity of assassins to heights reserved only for the gods of men... ... ..."

He was blinded by the caterpillars crawling over his eyes....

Catzilla Ahh, he just took the part to pay for his kids college one day.

Gavin Christenson Why would he? It's a damn fine movie. Unless you're talking about that stupid series.

@@douglasammirati8450 In the words of Cinemasins "no movie is without sin"

The series was shit!

That might make for a nice video but who wants to be reminded of that movie? In a long series of movies, The Mist is the only Stephen King movie I can think of where I regret wasting 2 hours of my life.

Amen Gavin. Amen...

Yeah, that's what he said

13:25 _"Dueling pair of Dr. Wily mustaches"_

Maria ER THEY WHERE!

Uhhhh, you realized Malcolm turned white all of a sudden right?

What'cha talking 'bout? You crazy.

Maria ER They looked the same.Dumbass.

Maria ER it's filmbrain

Believe it or not, I *loved* this movie for exactly that reason. The cognitive dissonance between these two aspects of the film somehow appealed to me. Kind of like how the Fallout series mixes 20s/30s music with nuclear devastation.

maugos you're supposed to watch it on drugs, duh!

Nothing butt trouble. :P

maugos aswe

John Tumahab siop

I agree.. these books are usually so good because of how invested in the characters you are. This is pretty thoroughly achieved in writing, its 1st person.. you're literally in their head. In 90 minutes of show dont tell.. nah, way harder.

Ehhh... I disagree. I like Kings work, but at times he is a terrible writer. This is one of those times, just like Golden Years, and the Tommyknockers.

i'm still crying

AlecSK27 Pewdiepie

I know right? It made me feel surprisingly sad. Also, is it just more or does Chester sound vaguely Irish? like around 25:10

Sad. I would've given Chester my Barnyard Sandwich (Black forest Ham, Roast Beef, chicken and Turkey breast)

AlecSK27 poor chester

Well that explains a lot.

Wow, what a lightweight ;)

That's nothing, he wrote Cujo while so high on Cocaine he didn't even remember writing it.

You got that right!!!

Yeah, it shows

The only problem is he has a normal name. Now of his name was Rachel Tietz, or even Malcom Bewbs(for variety), he would be the unquestioned star.

I concur with that statement epic intro.

I originally thought it was supposed to be Goosebumps, but then I noticed the costumes of Malcolm and Tamara.

yeah I like gravity falls too but what i DIDN'T like is how they managed to butcher the intro

+Doctor Whouse That was for last year's Nostalgia-Ween.

Bleach Drinker thye didn't butcher it, it's a parody of the song because the real song is copyrighted

He was really proud on facebook when he released it early, and they definitely had fun making it.

BlazingWaters Did you miss it being used last week?

Scott Sandler Yea, I didn't really know (nor care, all honestly) for the editorial of that week, so I didn't know its made its debut early.

they may ignore the "off week" editorials

BlazingWaters It wasn't early. Nostalgiaween covers every week of October

Huy Bii Finally someone else comments on that! I was so happy! I love Rick and Morty and have been wanting Doug to see it, I'm glad he finally has

i've seen the movie a few times and it's just a 2 and a half hour long WTF fest that changes plot like 9 times and makes literally no sense...the dreamcatcher its self is one of many WTF aspects to this movie and its only mentioned like 3 times total. if i wrote this, i honestly wouldnt know what to call it...i actually kinda like this movie because of how strange it is.

it was originally called 'Cancer', apparently because of when people find out they have cancer by seeing blood in their shit. Makes more sense than 'Dreamcatcher'

Well...you have to be kind of a Stephen King junkie to possibly see the connection, but...the short answer is it makes a bit more sense in the book version. The idea was that the psychic power that Duddits had, connected to the other boys, gave the ability to translate thoughts and desires into reality, i.e. a "real life dreamcatcher". The problem is it was totally involuntary on Duddits' part, and the boys could involuntarily make things happen against his will (such as Stephen King Trope #11, when they psychically killed their bully in the book in an involuntary action). "Mr. Gray" isn't a gray-skinned alien in the book; he's a noncorpeal manifestation into physical reality courtesy of Gary's connection to Duddits. The question the book leaves uncertain is WHAT he was before that. There's a lot of evidence that he was nothing more than a split personality that Gary evoked when got in his accident, but...there's also a lot of evidence that Mr. Gray is, in fact, another malevolent entity like Pennywise was or possibly IS Pennywise from "IT". (The movie barely touched on the fact the climax occurs in Derry, the same locale as "IT", but in the book there's a monument to the flood that destroyed Derry's sewer system in the climax of the book...as well as grafitti on it that reads: "PENNYWISE LIVES".) In fact, in the original book, the two remaining main characters kill Mr. Gray in a "battle of wills" as well rather than Duddits turning into an alien and such. In that case, it would be a metaphorical example of "a nightmare getting caught in the dreamcatcher".

because shitweasels wouldn't work. dreamcatcher sounds interesting at least.

The actor was actually a Brit putting on an American accent.

get out

David Dwayne same here lol

David Dwayne That was gloriously terrible >u

the irony. I had to shit right as the video started

Boy these puns stink.

i don't get where it's suppoused to be, were the bullies christians?

"IT'S STEVEN KING TIME!"

Speaking of quarintine hi I'm 2020

Lost me in the first three sentences.

It literally says "stephan king" in the title

I'd guess very strong prescription painkillers.

Sean given he was nearly killed & suffered massive trauma like a broken leg I think he said in “On Writing” that he was on strong painkillers during his recovery process

Likely lots of strong painkillers for the train he endured from his injuries. Course the majority of his works were written under various substances

It's obvious. Just like it's obvious he was on other "medication" when writing other books.

You must be write.. because every Stephen king book I've read was at least worth reading, if not great. Even the ones with bad movies.. He is long winded though, but it pays off. In a medium driven by dialogue and inner monologue, this really kills. In a medium that needs to show not tell, in about 90 mins... it kinda sucks. EDIT: I mean right* lol not write.. some kinda weird subconscious mixaroo

Portillos is the food of Gods!

^ This. Hell yes.

Channel Awesome 😅

Amateur guitar Player there's one in Brookfield Wisconsin now

The crazed Snowman

Long ago, his publisher and him were talking about which book to publish next. It was between Roadwork (which would be published later under the pseudonym Richard Bachman) and Salem's Lot. The publisher showed concern that if they went with Salem's Lot, King would be pigeonholed as a horror writer. King replied, "I don't care as long as the checks don't bounce."

Even funnier, he said he was deliberately trying to act like Malcolm McDowell as the "Evil British Alien".

@@ShadowSonic2 Well, too me he literally, sounds like, Nigel Thornberry from “The Thornberry’s.” But what also, makes it funny is Tim Curry voiced Nigel Thornberry and he’s also British!

The Hoodie sound effect cracked me the fuck up. I am very familiar with that sound because it's a stock sound a lot of games(including the one my PFP is from) use for fire igniting, so every time I hear it I'm expecting the guy to just spontaneously combust.

Tristan Hartup dude I thought you were joking until I Googled it... 7% on RT

One of the few King books I've read. Only part I remember is some chick obsessed with a kids shoe. Also, some wimpy buisness man kicks ass because "In times of stress, the body remembers how to fight"

Tristan Hartup I saw that 2014 movie! If this film had been made when the 2006 book was written, it might have made waves, but as it is, it's another The Crazies meets Rabid meets Zombie Apocalypse. The ending of CELL could've been more powerful if they hadn't thrown in an alternate shot in the last moment. It left the conclusion incoherent!

Tristan Hartup No no he needs to review Thinner, that would be so easy to rip apart!

*coughs* wait what?! :o that sounds stupidly awesome

+Boss Man Yes.

Machinima Knight Freddy versus Jason is in 2 weeks

Machinima Knight Didn't he do one already?

Kevin Dyer A spot in Top 11 New Halloween Classics

it's trick r treat. With an r, but good suggestion. Too bad it's a great horror film.

Don't you mean Trick 'R Treat?

THUMBS UP IF YOU LOVE GRAVITY FALLS!!!!!!

And thumbs up if you've never watched even a single episode! Now the thumbs up war begins Cheepa Creepa!

Cheepa Creepa the "Hannel Awesome" joke wasn't as good as "Mystery Hack" though

Maverick1989 he's the best part of this movie and definitely the strongest actor.

+Maverick1989 That's because the British can play us better than we can.

+HateSolstice127 We hail Prince George, we hail Prince George!

9 this begs the question when British people think about how Romans would sound, do they mentally picture them speaking in a British accent like everyone else on Earth does?

It's funny how Critic states that Damian sounds like a drunk Simon Pegg when the two worked together in Band of Brothers (Pegg was the First Sergeant in the first episode that tagged along with Sobel).

2:02

A dreamcatcher is supposed to catch nightmares and allow good dreams to pass through. A dreamcatcher is a guardian from invasive horrors. The boy/alien seeing the good in the other kids makes them a dreamcatcher to guard humanity.

DeadmauStar the Absol

If Wikipedia's plot summary is accurate, when the aliens confront at the end, they explode and the resulting fireworks look like a dreamcatcher.

Well in the book, dreamcatchers are used pretty heavily for symbolism. The web of relationships between people memories and places form a dreamcatcher that the aliens, actually a species of sapient psychic mold that is symbiotic and harmless to most species but interacts with the bacteria of human digestive systems in a Very Bad Way, can actually perceive.

Maybe the same reason Adam Sandler's talents are wasted?

ShadowWolfRising They should just bring My Name Is Earl back.

At least he did great as Syndrome in the Incredibles.

+The Stargazer, See this I can get on board with.

Great actor, but amazing skate-boarder.

lobolobadubdub

ninjaowen03 wtf even is ur profile picture lmao

HeyItsMeDaisy its ment to stair in to your bedroom window at night but it got drunk and ended up in a ditch

Ain't Gravity Falls the best?

hell yeah

He's had that jacket for a long time. Like the last 4 halloweens I think

No, he started using it just last Haloween.

Either way. I want that jacket.

How and where did he get that jacket?

Sam I believe he had it last year, too! I want him to start a fashion line lol.

Pzafrk "What about the shit weasels."

If I could, I would give this comment a thousand likes for the hilarity of it. x'D *dead*

It sure was.

right now I'm battling a parasitic stomach flu. this review isn't helping

How are the shit weasels?

Because "Duddits" like the book sounds really stupid. And there's I think one scene including a dreamcatcher.

erttheking the Dreamcatcher was four rings connected by a larger ring. Dudditz and the group were the physical manifestation. That is , Mr. Grey's plot was nightmarish...so they stopped it.

the book sounds stupid? there is a scene in the movie/book where the boys and duttits make a dreamcatcher, friendship bond stuff

erttheking Cuz shitweasels

erttheking Because Dreamcatchers are full of shit, just like the asses the Shit Weasels come from. I'll show myself out...

Already have +Anonymous Idea ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oi8gxaguMPY.html

Channel Awesome ...fuck. Lol I should have taken 2 seconds to look that up. Thanks though :)

Critic, you have to review the movie lawrence of arabia from 1962. YOU NEED TO DO THIS!!!

What was the original comment?

***** I said I wanted to see NC do short circuit, but he had already done it.

I actually liked the Beetlejuice and Ghostbusters ones more...

yes do that lol

+david gold I support this!!!

I vote

For this

With Devil Boner instead of NC

Well, he DOES act in these videos and he IS on the payroll, sooo... yes. He's a professional actor.

im suprised malcom and tamara have never been recruited by snl.

He does voice acting for the "DC Abridged" crew; he plays several characters and is pretty good. Plus he did the 5 episodes of "Demo Reel" with Doug, if you haven't watched them yet (I really liked him in the Batman one, but it's been a long time).

+luke baggins snl doesn't "recruit". Actors audition for snl, then they hire the ones that they thnk are funny.

That's why we have Doug. He remembers it so you don't have to

Ah, now I get it.

Oh yeah. This movie was..... just....awful. Apparently Stephen King would also rather sweep this one under the carpet.

I had the same thought. g-g-g-GOD.

His name is Chester you fool

Name someone by the surname makes you a fool now?

?

Yep

Well not any more after it was... oh wait aliens saw the clown after that so yes yes it dose

TwiggyHetfield27 It’s still ridiculous

@@galleryofrogues There's also the problem that, whether or not that's in the book, in the movie I'm pretty sure that it's never mentioned at all. Good or bad writing in the book doesn't carry over to the movie unless they carry it over. Just look at IT's giant spider thing.

That would have been an ingenious and very soothing and intelligent tie-in. . . had the movie actually attempted to explain such a thing, instead of a couple vague hints and never actually showing it again.

yes. It's a shot for shot remake of the opening.

The show is incredible, you should definitely give it a chance!

gravity falls Is (trust me I don't use this ightly)the best show I have ever watch up there is over the garden wall invader zim rick and morty ect

WATCH IT NOW!!!

Dr.CookiesNeedLoveLikeEverthingDoes you posted a comment in the RU-vid comments. This is all we know about you. Don't be surprised when you bash on popular belief with little/no backup for it. "They're obnoxious" isn't good enough. Cover your blind spots.

On a side note, "Shitweasel" is my new favourite insult

1000000000000 POINTS TO GRIFFINDOR!!!! :P

Chester A. Bum was an Alien all along? wtf!

*Lets slitherin the griffon door and snip off the raven claws and after that well talk and laugh and pass around the hufflepuff!!*
