      The followup: "You got me there with the LEGO Movie, but everyone loves LEGOs. No brainer that it would be a hit. Care to raise the wager with something more?"
      "Fine. Double or nothing. I'll make a sequel based on the LEGO Batman character. Not only will it be good enough to get nominated for tons of awards, but also it will be arguably the best Batman movie since the Dark Knight."

      That'd be a great scene for, like, a ghost movie parody.
      Just imagine it: A guy is talking to a girl or something that can see ghosts. All of a sudden, the girl looks at a seemingly empty corner of the room and gasps. The guy looks at the corner and gasps too. The girl asks, "Do you see it too?", to which the guy replies, "No, I was just humoring you".

      Maybe not a movie but I do know about at least one case where this was true for a TV show. An indie animator named Danny Antonucci, best known for creating gruesome and bizarre adult animated shorts and MTV filler material, was dared by one of his friends to make a kids cartoon and actually get it on the air. And that's where Ed Edd n Eddy came from.

      Lady in the Water is a work of art and a masterpiece. I enjoyed it from start to finish without dozing off after coming back from work long hours. I typically get tired and go to bed after work, but this beautiful film kept me awake. Until the very end of the movie when Cleveland and Story say goodbye, I shed a tear. You, Nostalgia Critic, as well as many ignorant fools in this world, are lost and not aware of an amazing movie when you see one. But that's alright to be an fool. As the movie says, every person has a purpose. There is meaning for fools in this world.

    Someone suggested this as a good movie so I came back to enjoy the review.
    One of the best exchanges you guys ever made (Thank you!):
    "The main character is named Story"
    "Out!"
    "Not happening."
    "She's an ancient creature called a narf-"
    "Oh honey you can't do this"

    @bananatiergod Před 8 lety +178

    To be honest, I think that if Shamylan would have changed the the story and worked on the characters and editing a bit, this movie would have been much better. For example, why call it a Narf and not a Nymph? Why not call those monsters the Nymphs are scared of Pond Hounds instead of whatever name they got? Why not have the writer have a more water related ritual, like chanting while in the pool, making those small ritualistic dance? What if Shamylan would have decreased the amount of praise he gets in this movie and instead be wrong about what he says, and instead have the Nymph giving him a prophecy about having a beautiful wife who will share his passion for art and inherit it for the next generation, too, spreading wisdome and knowledge across the globe with their writing? What if the scene where Giamatti and the Nymph run away from the Pond Hounds would show shady bits of their appereance while while bark and run as fast as possible towards the two? What if the muscle guy who was the one who stopped the Pond Hounds was in fact a god among men for more than hyndreds of years? What if the signs were seen in a Griddler quiz?
    Seriously, look at all the possibilities I had in mind, and it makes ten times more sense than this bullshit!

      The problem is that you're thinking like a decent storyteller. To understand this movie, you have to think like the most egocentric person in the world, who believes he's the second coming of Hitchcock, thinks he's the most brilliant storyteller in existence, that he's misunderstood by critics, and that he'll change the world if only people listen to him. That is, without exaggeration, the message of the film.

      Lady in the Water is a work of art and a masterpiece. I enjoyed it from start to finish without dozing off after coming back from work long hours. I typically get tired and go to bed after work, but this beautiful film kept me awake. Until the very end of the movie when Cleveland and Story say goodbye, I shed a tear. You, Nostalgia Critic, as well as many ignorant fools in this world, are lost and not aware of an amazing movie when you see one. But that's alright to be an fool. As the movie says, every person has a purpose. There is meaning for fools in this world
