Eragon review Commentary

[J0hnny0hm]

Turns out your dad was right, E-Rod. I'm really glad you got onto TGWTG, I'm glad you didn't end up homeless, and I hope to see you in the 4th Year Anniversary Special.

I'm pretty close to starting my own review show. I only need to get my hands on some video capture software so I can get the footage that I will need.

[ERod2010]

@J0hnny0hm Thank you. If you want me on the special you have to ask Rob and Doug the their contact info is on TGWTG.com

[Negajoe]

I think your impersonations caused such a negative backlash for two reasons. One being that most contributors to TGWTG have a amassed a decent fan boy/girl following that refuse to take any negative criticism to their idol with jest. The other reason was that I believe this was your first upload to the site, a new guy exposing himself to a brand new audience who don't know that impersonations are just a standard part of your routine. Combine these two factors and you get a quagmire......giggity.

[MrJosemiguel2000]

i know you probably get this question asked once a day but when is the 4th anniversary of that guy with the glasses ? and are you going to be in it ?

[ERod2010]

@MrJosemiguel2000 Sorry, I don't know, on doth counts.

[keeganbdouglass]

Do you apply to get onto TGWTG.com or does someone from the site find you?

[ERod2010]

@keeganbdouglass It was a little different for me. I submitted my videos and then contacted Rob, but it took a year and 8 months of me talking to him and sending him videos to get on the site.

[CoffeeWithTheCynic]

@ERod2010 Quick question: I've noticed that many TGWTG contributors have degrees in writing/film study/etc and I was wondering if that is a prerequisite to being on the site?

[ERod2010]

@ERod2010 no. 

[b3lurxxxm3duza]

i loved ur impersonation of todd in shadows, i think is the one that made me laugh the must because what u said is true :S i'm glad u r not homeless, being broke sucks, been there, u r a funny dude =)

[ERod2010]

@b3lurxxxm3duza Thank you.

[bountyhunter2255]

wow that's cool that you opened up like that btw awesome reviews

[ERod2010]

@bountyhunter2255 Thank you.

[TheSkorch83]

@ERod2010 hey dude, can you tell me the name of everyone you were making fun of?

[ERod2010]

@TheSkorch83 It's in the credits.

[Demolitiondude]

Here's my question. Not sure if your gonna answer it here, your next commentary, or already answered it. If you used to be in L.A., Where's your place currently?

[ERod2010]

@Demolitiondude Tallahassee.

[Demolitiondude]

@ERod2010 How's Florida?

[ERod2010]

@Demolitiondude cold, but habitable.

[Demolitiondude]

@ERod2010 Damn man. It's been weirdly warm here in the Blaghole.

[Hyperkid37]

ERod, I hate to sound like Im kissing your ass, but its fantastic to hear that your financial situation has gotten better, and its awesome to see you on Channel Awesome. You're a great talent, and I look forward to you Busting flicks for years to come.

[ERod2010]

@Hyperkid37 Thank you Hyper one.

[Manofmanyusernames]

dear BB

I Know you probaly get asked this queston a lot but do you have any advice for some body who wants to make movie reviews like you or the NC does by your self on a buget of zero? thank you, your fan Theman.

[ERod2010]

@Manofmanyusernames Talk about what you love, be fearless, and the fans will find you.

[MissAngryGinger]

"What's that aboot?" Had to pause the video because I was laughing so hard.

[ERod2010]

@MissAngryGinger Hopefully people will stop asking me to impersonation, Ey.

[EmoKidRH]

Hey ERod, what are the top 5 movies on your hit list at the moment?

[ERod2010]

@EmoKidRH Transformers 3, Breaking Dawn, Episode 1, Ghost Rider 2, G.I. Joe 2 (this of course id subject to change)

[MJPriseCenter]

@ERod2010 for ghost rider 2 and GI Joe 2, it's look much better than the first movies (Personnally, GI Joe was a guilty pleasure for me, but with bruce willis, I think we can say than the second is already better)

[Ratchetcomand]

@ERod2010 Do you really want to review Episode 1 since I think most people already beat down the movie enough already. The Distressed Watcher (The Amazing Atheist) already review it on TGWTG unless you can find something new to add.

[theAndyChannel28]

Fan question, who are your favorite directors, two of mine are Steven Spielberg and Tim Burton

[TomMSTie1138]

This is still my favorite review ERod. You're MarzGurl impression kills me every time! XD

[ERod2010]

@TomMSTie1138 Manga, Manga, Manga!

[TomMSTie1138]

@ERod2010 LOL, but it's the arms. She does do that!

[ThePunk7777]

To help Alan Moore gain some kind of happiness, could you review the From Hell movie and The league of extraordinary gentlemen movie.

[ERod2010]

@ThePunk7777 League is getting a top 10 this coming year, From Hell I'm still thinking about.

[ThePunk7777]

@ERod2010 cool man.

[Marjoh1963]

@ThePunk7777 I actually liked the League but it can be fun to see ERod busting it :)

[ThePunk7777]

@Marjoh1963 Not to sound mean, but what do you like about it?

[Marjoh1963]

@ThePunk7777 I just liked the idea and its cool that Sean Connery is acting as Alan Quartermane LOL , action good but otherwise , nah !

[ThePunk7777]

@Marjoh1963 I do not think his acting saves this film and the action is standard at best. As for the story, just read the comics. My view.

[Marjoh1963]

@ThePunk7777 Good to hear some honest opinions :)

[ThePunk7777]

@Marjoh1963 thanks



[ThePunk7777]

What are the rules for posting the following:

1) old youtube videos on blip and tgwtg

2) new blip and tgwtg videos on youtube

3) Any video anywhere else

[ERod2010]

@ThePunk7777 The rule is that my material must premiere on their site, after that it's up to me what I do with it.

[21jthal]

hey im trying to make a comic review can i make an impersination of u for it

[ERod2010]

@21jthal Sure, knock your self out.

[pericles911]

Good commentary. I am truly impressed by your strength of character, had I been in your shoes, the video I released would have been me going "waaaaaaah" and crying like a little girl. Aiming to put out an excellent review when your world's going down the toilet takes considerable will.

My only concern with the impressions was "I hope they (TGWTG) don't take this the wrong way". You're on the site now so obviously they appreciated it. Look forward to Catwoman, it's the first review I watched.

[JeremyEr10]

Damn...

[Ratchetcomand]

Great commentary. Will do a commentary on Atlantis: The Lost Empire and will it be here on Youtube, or ThatGuyWithTheGlasses?

[ERod2010]

@Ratchetcomand You Tube, this is exclusively for you guys.

[ZadkielRequiem]

ERod I'm so glad you're up on your feet and rocking hard, you're awesome

[Demolitiondude]

Damn man. That was deep.

[thundreturtle]

I always wanted to ask, about the Nancy Drew books, games (I don't know what else is there) etc. are you a fan? And yeah as the others said, cool that your back on your feet. As far as I'm concerned and I think that allot of the legion feel the same, the less you ''learn'' from the people from the glasses site the better :). (Than again it might be just me but I think it needs to be said).

[extremeTHE1]

Cool that you're back in the saddle.. and now stay there man! :P

[SoulPrototype01]

You know dude i don't blame you 1 of my fears better said my biggest fear is ending up homeless i get scared just of the idea of being homeless so if it comes to you ending up with 2 fans 1 of them is going to be me....so yeah continue with the great videos.(p.s.if this seeams creepy sorry it's just support)

[ERod2010]

@SoulPrototype01 no, no creeps here. 

[ThunderJ16]

I still wish you were able to maintain the impressions. I've said it before and I'll say it again: you could have been a great impressionist since your imitation range is quite good :)

I know some people don't like your videos due to you being "new" and "just another ranter", I think people need to see that there are some videos that are serious about their subject and there are others that are a mix of comedy and seriousness. Above all, EVERYTHING IS SUBJECTIVE :D

[TheForbiddenNerd]

you definaetly deserve a cameo on the site.

[TDWTB]

Here's a question. Are there any movies you want to review but think people will react negatively?

[ERod2010]

@TDWTB Dune, but I'm still going to do it.

[DKrules9]

wait you get paid on TGWTG? is that why I always see ads right before I see the videos on that site?

[ERod2010]

@DKrules9 Yeah, but it's not much.

[elbryan42]

Wow, great commentary! It's really inspiring hearing that others are real people too. No one's perfect, and seeing someone wear their heart on their sleeve is very inspiring. Thank you.

[ERod2010]

@elbryan42 You are welcome. 

[MrThePandaman]

Glad you're back on your feet, man. You rock.

[ERod2010]

@MrThePandaman Thank you.

[txcforever]

Hey man, I've been a fan of TGWTG for ages but I still prefer your videos over many of the guys there. I love your videos, I've watched them all and I hope you continue making more of tuem for years to come. Keep up the good work

[ERod2010]

@txcforever Thank you, I'll keep making them if you keep watching them.

[mochitachan]

It's normal. Jokes don't always go as planned, but at least Rob and Joe gave explicit thumbs up :D

I'd love to hear a commentary of the four Resident Evil hand by hand, that means more commentary time :D

Oh, and my question... Can you explain about the gag of laughing uncontrollably of Dakota Fanning? It's not irrelevant at all and I can get the idea of her trying to look all grown up when acting, but it's one of the gags that make me totally crack.

Atte. Your title card artist :D

[ERod2010]

@mochitachan Hey Mochita, there's no real back story to that. Dakota is going to grow up to be one of the great actors of our generation, but for now she is just a little girl pretending to be an adult and it looks silly as fuck. 

[dekead]

I'm going to open up here. I know you probably already know this but I deeply appreciate your videos and I am always excited to see a new episode up and running and I'll watch it at any time day or night! Keep up the great work Blockbuster Buster!

[dekead]

Sorry you had to go through that dude, I'm glad you've come out of that dark time with your humor still sharp!

[biguy617]

Get Welshy to do a cameo since he did a review of New Nightmare where he disagreed with you on the movie. Pick a movie that you two disagree on or agree on.

[biguy617]

do a commentary to the resident evil review with nerdlinger only doing it

[BoooRatt]

Wow that was sad I didn't know about any of that!

I liked the parodies of the other reviewers! and Cinema Snob is really cewl just what he reviews are very rare or unknown movies and films! I've only seen like 10 out of the 100s of movies he's done!

All I ask for in the Catwoman movie review is a quick shot at the current movie's version!

[neversawthatcoming]

Awesome commentary! When I initially saw it, I kinda sensed you were in a dark place at the time. Thanks for letting your diehard viewers have such an intimate view of your personal life. having been in a similar situation in the past, I know what that's like. I'm glad you kept going and look forward to every new episode.

[Tadicuslegion78]

This was the review that made me a fan of yours. What program do you use?

[ERod2010]

@Tadicuslegion78 Final cut.

[Psypomp]

omg, you are like a human Muppet! You and Phelan, only I enjoy your humor more than his.

[ERod2010]

@Psypomp Um... I'll take that as a compliment... WOKAH, WOKAH!!!

[blackbear102]

Good comentary. I always assumed Eragon ripped off The lord of the ring(mainly because I never bothered to watch it). Keep up the good work.

[UnusualSuspect2011]

Hey ERod, something I'm wondering, has being accepted on TGWTG helped your financial situation? I'm sorry to hear about what was going on, sounded like you were really struggling.

Something else too, now that you're on the site, how many views do you get each time you post? I'm wondering how big the TGWTG audience is :)

[ERod2010]

@UnusualSuspect2011 Oh yeah it's helped allot, I'm not rich, but I'm not struggling ether. and that's all I wanted. Oh and I get approximately 20,000 views per video but that's nothing compared to Doug and Linkara's numbers. 

[UnusualSuspect2011]

@ERod2010 That's great to hear! Oh, and feel free not to answer this if you think it's too intrusive, but I can't help but wonder. Have you been able to quit your day job? Are you now doing this for a living?

[ERod2010]

@UnusualSuspect2011 Oh no, I'm no where near quitting the day job. When I move on to the next level, maybe. But first I need way more fans than 2,500 and I would have consistently sell Merchandise. I just haven't reached that level of popularity.

[Thejacobhowie]

The eragon review is what introduced me to you. because a few years ago we read the book as a class the went on a feild trip to see the movie. so i was reminded of that movie some how and i went on tgwtg and searched for a reveiw and came up with nothing so i searched on youtube and found this and thought it was hillarious and instantly subscribed.

[ERod2010]

@Thejacobhowie That's the whole reason I started doing this, cause there were so many shitty movies that keep slipping through their fingers.

[411811318152399]

I love these commentaries and I hope we see a lot more of them

[swfanlver]

The review was very hilarious. Keep up with the great work.

[Riathsin]

why do people think that Canadians have a similar accent to those of Wisconsin?

[ERod2010]

@Riathsin My apologies to the denizens of Wisconsin.

[Riathsin]

@ERod2010 I am Canadian, prolly live within driving distance to see Phelan.

[ERod2010]

@Riathsin That's awesome. 

[Riathsin]

@ERod2010 I don't mind Phelous, but my Faves are you, Linkara, NC, NChick, OL, Brad, Liz, JesuOtaku, Nash(I stay up every friday night to catch the new WTFIWWY), and Angry Joe Vargas.

[Akurokusqueel]

Another Awesome one Erod. Hey, I don't know if anyone has asked you this yet(Sorry if they have) but I was wondering if you've seen Green Lantern/What you thought of it. Anyways another great video, keep it up! :)

[ERod2010]

@Akurokusqueel I'm doing an honest review on that one.

[Akurokusqueel]

@ERod2010 Oh, okay, can't wait to see it :)

[drexelboi1991]

Wow! I'm glad you were able to bounce back from that financial situation! Keep up the good work, and you deserve every good thing coming your way, brother!

[ERod2010]

@drexelboi1991 Wow, thank you buddy.

[drexelboi1991]

@ERod2010 no problem! :)

[Ontarioku77]

wow amazing story there should be a movie about you

[ERod2010]

@Ontarioku77 I know!!!

[Ontarioku77]

@ERod2010 great job yet again your one of my inspirations for becoming a reviewer u think u will do more impressions and if so maybe you should do the lesser know reviewers like CR Welshy Nash and others

[KCGL77]

very insiteful I love this review and these commentaries are great. Thumbs up good sir. d '_'

[HighPriceComedy]

this was one of my favorite reviews for sure.
