Swords, Six Fingered Men, True Love, Columbo, and Kevin Arnold. These are just but a few of the many treasures buried in the land of the Princess Bride. For your nostalgic pleasure, culture critic, (and part time master sword-smith), Willie Simpson reviews the classic film for all its glory for internetclub91!
Porkchop, Skeeter, Patti, Quailman, The Honkerburger, The Beets… If you grew up in the early 90s, you couldn’t get enough of Doug. Join The Nickelodeon Kid as he goes back and reviews this wonderful and original Nicktoon!
Everybody’s catching World Cup fever, but what do you do when you can’t play soccer?? Play Nintendo soccer! There’s a simplistic beauty in these 8-bit images. Just look at that neon green grass, the teams of soccer player clones, and the pixelated ball with five black dots. If you have an NES, I recommend snatching Nintendo Soccer on eBay for $5. Go France!
Was there ever a Kids TV show more magical, more subversive, and more fun than “The Adventures of Pete and Pete”? You wish, you blowhole! Just find a seat on the big orange couch- it’s time for The Nickelodeon Kid!
Now that we’ve reached the halfway point of the South Park season, it would be a good time to take stock on how 2010 has fared so far. It’s no surprise that the show has been a mixed bag of results this season (much as the last few seasons). But this is season14, and it’s REALLY getting up there in age. Results aside, my overriding feeling about the show is this: disconnection. I feel an increasing disconnection from what South Park has become. Too often, the episodes are misguided, the plots are uneven, and the jokes are unintelligent, rehashed, or just bad. For a show that’s succeeded far beyond Trey’s, Matt’s, and Comedy Central’s wildest dreams, I fear South Park is entering an era of irrelevance.
14-1: Sexual Healing
I’ve learned you can just about throw away a South Park season premeire, as they have been consistently shitty for many years now. These are the episodes where Trey and Matt try to spin the off-season’s biggest news story into an often preachy, obvious, and unentertaining episode. Trey and Matt certainly suffer from the time off between seasons, and the results are overwrought and boring. Here they take on the Tiger Woods story, trying to correlate it to a video game in the process. I couldn’t even watch this one to the end. D-
14-2: The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs
For some misguided reason, Trey and Matt decided to go after J.D. Salinger in this episode, and the result is disgustingly painful. There’s about 10 seconds of redeemable content- the montage where the boys write the book as a satirical, sunshine-and-smiles acoustic song plays. Ok, the language in the book could have been funny. The vomitting IS NOT. It’s actually so unfunny, it’s shaken my belief in this show. Honestly, It’s not even worth writing about, it’s such a bad episode. On a side note, I hate what they’ve done with Butters- he has too much attitude. F
Riddle me this, Bat Fans: which Batman movie has the worst title ever??BATMAN FOREVER! Indulge your inner 11-year-old, and take a trip back to this gimmicky, neon, atrocity of a movie. It’ll be playing on the Internet Forever.
Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals! Ken inadvertently goes all Macaulay Culkin on Will, but fortunately the pain is washed away by the deliciously out-of-season holiday treat of Home Alone.
God save the Queen… Ken’s starting an Oasis cover band! But when he forces Willie to join, it begs the question- was Oasis the second coming of the Beatles, or were they the second coming of last night’s dinner? Get ready to laugh, cry, sing and barf as Ken and Willie take on the “greatest band in the world!”
Ken thinks he’s going back to college- until Willie discovers this means trashing the living room and watching “Saved By The Bell: The College Years”! It’s a full discussion of the one season spin-off, guaranteed to earn its degree in nostalgic pleasure!
