Oh man this whole CA meltdown was to be expected to be honest. I always heard bad shit and rumors for a long while, along with a lot rumors against Mike, guess those were true after all And yeah, while Doug hasn't commited anything awful in comparison to that Mike creep, the fact that he has been silent about it and didn't act or anything until the damage control he's doing now does not help him at all.
That feels like something from an early 2000s gross out comedy.
I admit I chuckled at the Magfest bit. That's just something else. On the basis on Doug and Rob Walker being awful for just letting it happen. I dunno I still think Mike's a shithole and that he's probably using his power to keep them silent or have them laugh off the complaints. Directing and production is on Doug , but the whole 'doing nothing' is him and his brother "attempting" to not have CA explode and lose everyone for the crew to keep going. If Mike stepped down or if he did something to mess Doug and his family up, then he'd do something. For now, he's trying to keep his head on his shoulders until he finds a workaround. It'll help to say his piece, but that's for another update. I can't really blame Doug, I just find it impossible for some reason.
I never thought I'd see the day that someone unknowingly ate an actual Sinammon roll.
This is an amazing term and how have I never heard of it before? You learn something new every day. Thank you for enlightening me.
Probably because it's the sort of thing you see from Tumblr furry blogs. But technically its usage here is incorrect, and the actual definition is pretty cringey as most words made up by furries/Tumblr bloggers tend to be. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Sinnamon%20roll
Yeah that's a really boring definition. I like yours a lot better.
By the way, Down The rabbit Hole will have a special stream on youtube in about eight hours where he will read the entire document. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yIjg17A6Oo
Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic! I ate it so you don't have to!
https://socialblade.com/youtube/user/achannelthatsawesome/realtime https://socialblade.com/youtube/user/achannelthatsawesome/monthly His channel numbers are going down very steadily in last two days after this scandal unfolded.
Looks like the Down the Rabbit Hole guy is setting up a potential interview with Holly. That should be illuminating.
Down the Rabbit Hole's reading of the document is #1 trending of live youtube streams right now.
Sean Fausz posted a video about this whole fiasco. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqgB8sbAIpU
I'm still baffled by the fact that Doug ate a a random piece of food he found at a convention that: 1) He didn't even think to ask whose piece of food it was 2) He didn't know how long it had been there 3) He thought he could just take without asking 4) He immediately shoved it into his mouth without a second thought 5) Then blamed it on other people despite it being entirely his fault That mixed with his severe incompetence with other things show this man has the mentality of a 6 year old.
Can someone Eli5/TL;DR: the Mike Ellis shit? there's some stuff in the document and the above video mentions another incident. But there's gotta be more to it than just that... I also find it weird how little they talk about Michaud's bullshit, considering we've known about it for ages.
Wait, what? Does anyone have a quote of this, that sounds absolutely bizarre
I don't know why he got so bent out of shape about it either. All of that shit's supposed to be food-grade, isn't it? But on the other hand, who frosts a perfectly good cinnabon, and then just leaves it there? Like, you've frosted it with your very expensive (and disturbing) frosting funnel, you're in an 18+ panel so nobody will give you any guff, you're committed!
Well it is hearsay, isn't it? People on the internet aren't exactly averse to making shit up.
yeah i don't know why everyone's taking that story as fact
I think that the only reason are assuming that there is some truth to it is that it's so absurd that a lot of people kinda hope it's true.
with all the stories I hear about the dude, it wouldn't surprise me at all. Im more surprised the person who frosted it didn't eat it themselves.
This is one of those YouTube situations where we all thought this dude was playing a character but Doug is actually just the Nostalgia Critic, a screaming spoiled man child. It's really weird to know this, since NC was my introduction to online videos, and me and a friend used to just sit and watch his videos all the time. We have nostalgia for the Nostalgia Critic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqgB8sbAIpU& Goes more into Mike Ellis' harassment, but also reveals the fact that Doug is even dumber than possibly imagined
Hate to say this but I posted this video already. It's only 10 posts up.
Literally no idea how I missed that
Right? Even though he basically either just licked the movie's asshole or screamed it into oblivion, he was still entertaining to watch for the most part. At least until you learn about how he handles himself off-camera. Like, I see his "Woody Woodpecker" review coming up in my suggested feeds, but I just can't bring myself to give him or CA any more views to watch it knowing about what's gone on behind the scenes.
Even without the behind the scenes stuff, Nostalgia Critic still stagnated and became average at best. Everything else Doug did was fucking atrocious, showing how much of a one trick pony he was. Dude got lucky because there wasn't much in the way of video content around the time he started. And even then, when i go back to ~2005-2006 for nostalgia, he's wasn't even the best then.
It's kind of a massive blast to go and watch a modern video by Lindsay Ellis where her entire style evolved from basically copying NC to actually doing her own thing, while Doug is stuck in the exact same niche because he basically sucks at everything else perhaps besides editorials.
Calluna, Rocked, The Horror Gura, The Dom and Nash have left CA in the last 24 hours. CA is running out of producers FAST.
I'm surprised Cinema Snob hasn't left yet.
