| 32440 | So, about that James Rolfe fellow.... | I don't really delve too deeply into the world of youtube reviewers, but I used to be a fan of Channel Awesome and The Nostalgia Critic (to my eternal embarrassment). As a teenager, their stuff seemed hilarious, but when I watch it today, it's so cringe-inducing.<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Today I like Half in the Bag for movie reviews. Highly recommended. </div> | jkatz | Dec 21, 2016 |  |

Originally, Cozzi planned to re-release the original 1954 Godzilla without the Raymond Burr scenes but was unable to secure the rights from Toho and instead was sold the Americanized version of the film. Since the film was in black and white, regional distributors in Italy refused to release the film. In order to release the film, Cozzi hired Armando Valcauda to colorize the whole film frame by frame via a process called "Spectrorama 70" consisting of applying various colored gels to the original black and white footage, becoming one of the first black and white movies to be colorized.</i></p><p style="font-size: 14px; margin: 0.5em 0px; line-height: inherit; color: rgb(37, 37, 37); font-family: sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><i>The new version of the movie was advertised as: "The greatest apocalypse in the history of cinema with the sonorous and visual wonder of Spectrorama 70." The film's content was re-edited, removing several scenes and adding lots of new ones and stock footage of graphic death and destruction (including a famous scene where Godzilla destroys a <font color="#0b0080"><span style="background-image: none; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">train</span></font>),<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTERyfle1998209_12-0" class="reference" style="line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: isolate; white-space: nowrap; font-size: 11.2px;"><font color="#0b0080"><span style="background-image: none; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">[12]</span></font></sup> which made it 105 minutes long.</i></p><p style="font-size: 14px; margin: 0.5em 0px; line-height: inherit; color: rgb(37, 37, 37); font-family: sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><i>The film soundtrack was edited by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_Tempera" title="Vince Tempera" wotsearchprocessed="true" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Vince Tempera</a>, Franco Bixio and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabio_Frizzi" title="Fabio Frizzi" wotsearchprocessed="true" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Fabio Frizzi</a>.

| 32435 | So, about that James Rolfe fellow.... | I unsubscribed from Cinemassacre's channel after the Cheetahmen II Kickstarter. Not just so much that they were supporting it, but the fact that they were censoring comments on James' channel left a bad taste in my mouth. Though the part that really made me pull the unsubscribe trigger was after knowing that the Thank You video James sent out to his fans that backed his movie on IndieGogo... and that was his review on Elmo's Number Journey for the N64, which repeated the same problems that was used when Mike Matei reviewed Elmo in Grouchland by making these very vulgar, unfunny Elmo impressions. This, to me, felt like a slap in the face than a Thank You video because they knew people hated Mike Matei's review of Elmo in Grouchland, and it seemed like James decided to do an AVGN review of that same style just to spit in their faces.<br><br>I only watch Cinemassacre videos on occasion now. There are times where it's still nice to hear James' take on certain movies. Though, I cannot stand Mike Matei. He is not funny, and has a very overinflated ego. It was partially because of him that made me unsubscribe from Cinemassacre. To also show how much of a sellout Cinemassacre is becoming, they actually made a DVD of James and Mike Monday. I can understand making DVDs of AVGN... but James and Mike Mondays is mostly just them making commentary while playing video games. That type of thing is good enough for Youtube... but why does that crap need a DVD? It's not even that good to begin with as there are plenty of other Let's Players on Youtube that are way better than this.<br><br>Oh yeah, and the AVGN movie was awful. I actually torrented it, mainly because I didn't want to support Cinemassacre with any more of my money. This made me glad I never donated to his IndieGoGo.<br> | blueluigi | Dec 21, 2016 | |

| 32433 | So, about that James Rolfe fellow.... | I'll never understand the fascination with YouTube videos. People subscribe to channels and then watch these videos of regular people doing various typical things, like playing games and then talking about them? I don't get it. Why? My kids love DanTDM and EvanTube. EvanTube I can almost bring myself to understand, as the family dynamic and mix of subject matter is appealing to kids and families... but DanTDM I don't get. All he does is play games and talk about it while he does so. Is there so little available on Netflix and cable that people have resorted to watching twenty-somethings play video games? <br> | Vaporman87 | Dec 21, 2016 | |
| 32432 | Ghostbusters sequel canned | My wife loved this movie, but I was not impressed. Mostly for several of the reasons laid out by HC. I too am glad they are not continuing on with this into a franchise. <br> | Vaporman87 | Dec 21, 2016 | |
