Nostalgia Critic Real Thoughts On: Congo

[@curranmckenzie9574]

The Legendary Tim Curry, The Great Ernie Hudson... And the Groovy Bruce Campbell.

[@johnnyrambo5083]

Yep anything with Ernie Hudson instantly becomes watchable, that dude is a class act. He stole the show in this, even with Tim Curry's insane performance.

That is for DESERT! This tea party is ruined!

[@InfinitySor625]

I don't feel like I should have to explain this, but just a friendly reminder to those requesting subjects for "Nostalgia Critic Real Thoughts On", Doug and Rob are only doing movies they've covered on Nostalgia Critic. If you're requesting things from Disneycember/Dreamworks-uary or just random movies, unless it's been done as a NC Episode, it probably won't happen.

[@InfinitySor625]

Yup, people have done it. And Yes they've done Space Jam.

[@InfinitySor625]

But if they did a bunch of random movies, regardless of whether or not they were NC episodes, that would kinda defeat the purpose of this series then wouldn't it. It is called NC Real Thoughts after all. Just saying...

[@StudioInkblot]

***** But who really cares to see Real Thoughts on Rad?

[@HailCrimsonKing]

The reason I watch this movie is Ernie Hudson's character. He has some of the best lines and the most fun.

[@AndyMFX505]

It was Stan Winston, this was his first attempt at gorilla effects and since he worked with the producers on Jurassic Park. He did however create really impressive suits in Instinct, but the ultimate gorilla suit has to go to Rick for the remake of Mighty Joe Young. Also I kind of want to know your thoughts on that film.

[@TED_Frames]

What about Gorillas in the Mist? When watching that movie, you couldn’t tell if the gorillas were real or people in suits.

[@DaniDeSanta]

Do 'Real Thoughts on Foodfight!'

[@ElijahRichards25]

Dani De Santa That and the Star Wars Holdiay Special

[@nightmarephynix]

EeveeParty97 both would be an entire movie of crying banging their heads on the desk and replying the only line that explains it all "IT SUCKS! IT SUCKS! IT SUCKS!"

[@sethparker7970]

From the Gospel of the Critic 42:10 "and low from on high the Critic did speak to the masses. And he did proclaim Marriage for all. So uh piece I am out." All hail to the power of the Critic.

[@KevinStriker]

Only Reason to Watch God's Not Dead 2: Ernie Hudson as the Judge. He is INSANE. He gets so angry he breaks his gavel.

[@WTFisTingispingis]

Kevin Striker Oh man, that's amazing. I was interested just to see how OTT insane the ACLU are in that movie.

[@matthintz9468]

Ernie Hudson was the villain in the 1996 crime/thriller, The Substitute, where he starred opposite another actor I hold in the same regard as Ernie - Tom Berenger. One of those actors who's super cool, brilliant, inventive, has a great sense of timing, and has had some starring roles, but never broke as far above supporting actor as much as they probably should have.

[@StevenRainmaker]

“... And on the sixth day, God said, ‘Stop eating my sesame cake!’”

[@CMWaters910]

Rob does an astonishingly good Bruce Campbell impression.

[@GriffinPilgrim]

To those whining about them "going political": They are happy something happened, they expressed their opinion on it. If that's "going political" then pretty much every conversation ever has to stop. If you think marriage equality is bad, fine, whatever, each to their own. But please do not get all disdainful of someone just because they disagree with you.

[@danielodette6013]

I think Real Thoughts on the Garbage Pail Kids would be fun. You guys keep talking about how that was the worst movie you ever had to review, so I think it'd be neat to know what went on when you were making the review, why you dislike the movie so much, etc.

[@cloudstrife532220]

He talked about it so much in other videos that it would be redundant.

[@SoaringLettuce]

Daniel O'Dette I think Real Thoughts on the Garbage Pail Kids would just be a reupload of the review.

[@FoxiFyer]

Daniel O'Dette they already did that, look on the channel

STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE.

[@princebloodgrave8097]

I love this movie. :D Kevin Grevioux is also in this, in a small role. :) & he's one of the creators of the Underworld series. Tim Curry was supposed to be Romanian, I believe.

[@nerdaitami7205]

SOIBand no its not... its just vulgar and probably one of the worst in my opinion...

[@SOIBand]

NerdA Itami satire is not for everyone. not everybody gets it

[@Lawlaliet]

SOIBand Only issue is that what he made wasn't satire, but more what a German idiot thinks is satire while in reality he just puts his own German humor in it ( an FYI for those beer drinking twats comedy involves: sex, dicks, gay people)

[@SOIBand]

Kanashe Feeling pretentious today arent we? Its ok man, you didnt get the subtle messages behind the rough humor (for example on religion, stereotyping and false proud). Its ok. I am german btw. so please swallow down your insensitive and simple minded expressions. thank you

[@vanillabadboy4469]

you love Ernie Hudson.. watch oz.. he was awesome in too many ways

[@DarthAzabrush]

Ernie Hudson's greatest performance for me was as the GDI treasurer in Command and Conquer 3. Seriously the way he seduces you into committing the greatest war crime in human history is magnetic

[@willcardona7712]

That wasn't Ernie Hudson. That was Billy Dee Williams a.k.a. Lando Calorisian from Star Wars.

[@Bobman-ml5qf]

I loved Erine Hudson in the HBO show "Oz", playing the Warden of the Oswald "Oz" Penitentiary. Towards the end of the show, he finds a bad officer in the prison the way he said this line just blew me away "I want you to take your stuff, and get the FUCK out my prison!"

[@MrPottergeek101]

real thoughts on the Shrek movie series. Either 3 or 4 or both

[@Space_Ishmael]

There was an episode of Criminal Minds that had Ernie Hudson in it that referenced The Crow. A good chunk of the plot referenced it in fact.

[@faefofum]

+Weirdies And Lames Tim Curry has been in Criminal minds too.

[@Space_Ishmael]

Oh Lord he was the ultimate creep in that episode.

[@fanoflife123]

STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE!!!

[@jsb8261]

I always found with Crichton's books, but there's always at least one character who you can relate to enough.

[@Millosh024]

When we were kids we also always joked with "Aziz, light!!!" :D

[@GothicXlightning]

so how many of you remember Ernie Hudson ( the 4th GHOSTBUSTER ) on the CROW' ? he was cool in that movie too & helped Eric Draven a lot also I don't think this is a bad movie I did liked a lot the 1st time I saw it still is a very memorable one

[@Nexus2Eden]

L.L. is the one that sold the movie to me - she was like the blonde Ripley. Total kick ass. Loved it. And yes, to this day my friends and I joke about hitting our chest saying 'Me Amy!' lol

[@CollinGerberding]

Sphere had the same issue for me. Great actors (Sharon Stone, Dustin Hoffman, Samuel L Jackson), really love the book, but the movie just went cuckoo...

[@Tom_Van_Zandt]

I'm sure it's been argued before, but John Cazale had a flawless and perfect film career. Of course, he died way before his time, but look at his films.

[@UncannyValleyVideos]

"Tim, down!"

[@starblue6tv]

Alan Grant and Donald Gennaro are likeable in the book

[@ackbarfan5556]

Real Thoughts on Scooby Doo. Also this Nostalgiaween take a break and review something good like Scooby Doo on Zombie Island. Anyone else agree?

[@Heavenlyhounds96]

ackbarfan5556 Agree, that over The Reluctant Werewolf. Mainly for better effects, and a more terrifying appearance. Boo Brothers is perhaps another option, but I'd put it between Zombie Island and Reluctant Werewolf. Imo, more entertaining or fun and memorable than RW but not as terrifying or scary as ZI.

[@larsthaman]

Congo is awesome! Do one on Inspector Gadget lol

[@jamiekamihachi3135]

Actually speaking of Tim Curry's accent, Romanians don't have Slavic accents because they speak a Latin language.

[@christiegreenwood2642]

To Hollywood, "Eastern Europe" (and I'm using the term loosely) is a mythical place where everybody has a whacky Russian accent, but actually only speaks English! Also, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria are all Bavaria, and its capital is Stuttgart! XD XD XD ...yeah, I don't know why Stuttgart keeps popping up in American movies, but it does.

[@christiegreenwood2642]

+Poppy M It's true. A number of American movies that feature anything German make references to Stuttgart. Maybe they think it sounds particularly German? I haven't the foggiest.

[@jamiekamihachi3135]

+Christie Greenwood the US Army has a major base at Stuttgart. That might be why.

[@christiegreenwood2642]

+Jamie Kamihachi That makes sense!

[@stapler942]

14:14 Now I really hope they review Sphere sometime. Samuel L. Jackson, Sharon Stone, Dustin Hoffman, directed by Barry Levinson...Another example of something that sounded great - on paper. Instead we get lines like "Jerry? Jerry? Jerry, use your words!", some disappointing effects, incredible leaps in logic, plot threads going nowhere, and so on.

[@Heavenlyhounds96]

Here's two novels I wanna see made into a film perhaps, or a good mini-series. Timeline by Crichton: Some in short, archaeology, architecture, and history college students end up being sent back to a medieval time of the site they are excavating, to put it short. (I did NOT read all of it though.) Cell by Stephen King: You think the craze about cell phones, mobile phones, and NOT face-face conversations is bad? How's about a 'zombie'-like apocalypse where you mainly become infected, just by using your phone? And the entire apocalypse just happens *snaps fingers* like that; out of the blue? ;) (I DID read this book entirely...on my iPod, and LOVE it).

[@jamesdarcy666]

+Heavenlyhounds96 Timeline is already a bad 2003 movie and Cell is in production titles, coming soon in 2016.

[@Heavenlyhounds96]

James Darcy I hope Cell does good and I didn't know Timeline was a movie...though even if it was good, I'd prefer seeing Cell since that book was fascinating and Timeline imo got boring.

[@blucifer4865]

Rob got the ending wrong here in the review. "In the book, it ended on a dark note; was left ambiguous. The movie was complete Hollywood schmaltz!" Here's the epilogue summary to the book: In an epilogue, it is revealed that Munro was able to retrieve a few hundred carats of the valuable diamonds and sold them to Intel for use in a revolutionary new computer processor, while Amy was reintroduced into the wild and was later observed teaching her offspring sign language. Both the book and movie end virtually the same way. *mic drop*

[@blucifer4865]

In the book, they ALSO found a balloon, and left in it...same as the movie.

[@SillyMonster94]

I-is that a Ducktective shirt... Rob I'm going to have to take that shirt. Yep... ^-^

[@jordancali8881]

I feel it is hilarious that most of the comments are about your first two minutes of the video. :D. Thanks for the video!

[@aproposreeve]

is Nostalgia critic going to do a review of Sphere?

[@timothymorris157]

FYI Doug: Kevin is Steven Spielberg and yes it was Stan Winston who died doing awesome effects for Iron Man right up until his tragic death. STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE! 🍰🎂

[@jsb8261]

As a fellow Crichton fan, I agree with most of this.

[@anthonym28]

Do Real Thoughts on Rocky 4.

[@aaa1e2r3]

You should do Toy Soldiers

[@wanderer9994]

You mean small soldiers?

[@BugVlogs]

Real thoughts on Foodfight!!!

[@ThatIckyGuy]

I never saw the movie, but I'm a Crichton fan, but thought that the book was one of his worst (though...that's not really saying much because I liked most of his books). I had no interest in seeing the movie because I didn't really enjoy the book. For those of you new to Crichton, read one of the Jurassic Parks or Sphere first. Those are easily his best three. Edit: Seriously? No likable characters? Dr. Grant (yes, the book one), Ian Malcolm, Merek (Timeline), Norman Johnson (Sphere)...I liked all of these characters.

[@stapler942]

***** From what I recall having read most of his books as a tween (then finding I had outgrown his style when trying to re-read them as an adult), his least interesting (fictional) book was probably The Terminal Man. Maybe Rising Sun after that as it's hilariously dated. Sphere was the one I probably loved the most, then Jurassic Park and Timeline. Congo was a decent thriller. Eaters of the Dead and the Great Train Robbery were interesting takes on the historical genres., etc. The movie adaptations of his books (apart from Jurassic Park) are something of a mixed bag, most fall into the mediocre to cheesy and/or dated category. 13th Warrior was alright, Sphere starts out interesting then gets rapidly disappointing (and full of stuff that doesn't make sense), Disclosure is pretty dated but not really a badly made film (the virtual reality scene - LOL), Timeline was a letdown (though at least we got the line "Trebucheeeet!"), Andromeda Strain is classic sci-fi (though about as slow as 2001), Great Train Robbery is pretty good, Congo is funny-bad, Rising Sun is mostly forgettable (despite Sean Connery), The Terminal Man I've never seen but I'm sure is dull, The Lost World does away with most of its source material, and of course Airframe and Prey we'll never know 'cause they didn't get made.

[@montecristo1845]

I once read "Michael Chrichton doesn't write novels, he writes screenplays." Make of that what you will. I think they were referring to his style of description or something.

[@vanillabadboy4469]

umm no

[@montecristo1845]

+Jonathan Caro oh, good! I'm glad you agree. I didn't think whoever originally said that about Crichton was accurate either.

[@Freshie207]

I personally like Chrictons characters their often selfish but they don't feel to one dimensional. The best example I can give is Gennaro the lawyer in the book is an everyman who doesn't want to visit the Island but is told to by his law firm, is the very first person to voice concerns of young children visiting a park under a safety investigation and literally the second he sees the T. rex he's like "yeap this place is dangerous and I'm shutting it down". In the film his entire character is "I like money" Anyway great breakdown of such a goofy film

[@Typanoid]

I sure am glad to hear I wasn't a total idiot for liking Michael Crichton's novels back in the 90s.

[@duranls1]

"It's kinda dumb, but I wanna know what happens" that line sums up all Stephen King Movies/mini series

I read the book. I thought the ending was kind of a cop out, but I enjoyed it. As soon as I saw Amy in the movie, I turned it off.

[@robertparker6280]

Want a good Ernie Hudson performance, watch the show Oz.

[@duranls1]

There is very few movies that make justice to the books, Harry Potter, LOTR did it almost perfectly, Narnia decently, Dragon horribly! The only movie based in a book that I think did better than the actual book is "The secret Window" The 3rd act of the movie is totally different than the book and actually I enjoyed that dark ending more than the half happy ending on the original.

[@Dim4323]

Dragon dont you mean eragon

[@EastyyBlogspot]

i would really like to see there opinion on the film the 13th warrior as that was based on a michael crighton book the eaters of the dead and i heard the film was cut down a lot due to the film being shelved but when Antonio banderas became famous they edited the film for a quick release

You know what would be interesting? If Doug reviews Fuller House.

[@turkishvan2]

I'd be interested in a Real Thoughts for Once Upon a Forest

[@kingsize127]

3:37 HE’S MARRIED?!

[@StevenRainmaker]

To add; I wanted to hate Tim Curry’s character more, but I couldn’t. He wasn’t enough of a villain for me to be glad he died. Honestly, I would love to have collected those diamonds, so Curry grabbing diamonds wasn’t enough to make me want to hate him. I was hoping he was an absolute weasel, so his death would’ve been a lot more satisfying.

[@louche2388]

I'd like to see Doug's real thoughts on the remake of The Haunting. Remember how mad he got towards the end?

[@santiagoolaisola895]

He talks about it on his Worst Films The Nostalgia Critic Reviewed and his Favorite Reviews list if I recall correctly

[@cyborgninja5489]

I don't think Rob has ever read a book that wasn't written for 8th graders. He's a fifty year old man that has built a so-called career obsessing over kid's media.
