Question
I'm watching The actual movie The Langoliers as I type this.
Why does this keep getting taken down
What was wrong this time ?
“It seems normal people are just people you don’t know very well.” That is a great life lesson. Maybe Stephen king is smarter than we thought
Normal just means conforming to the most common behaviour in a society. Loads of people fit that description. Being quirky doesn't mean one isn't normal
@@DreamBelief Besides, what is "normal"? It's like "perfect". It does not exist.
If you give it a thought, it’s kinda just stating the obvious, like saying „lemons are in fact, yellow“
Yeah because in reality everyone of us is a creepy weirdo, right?
@@ahabduennschitz7670 no. U could be a future patron saint for all I know. But that's the point. I wouldnt know.
NC: "You're not gonna find the kid in her vagina"
Me: Oh he will... about nine months later.
Boo boo
Lol.
Wait, do you mean the kid is going to be reincarnated into the baby?
@@Saturday4378 r/woooosh
Kelly Mikulka why do you think she calls him daddy. There’s more than one reason 😏
@@Luxito_DeWarlock *jazz music stops*
I love how the owner of the highly venomous cobra, just allows the snake to freely roam around the vets waiting room
I swear, “tommyknockers” just sounds like a euphemism for boobs
I mean it doesn't help the "knockers" is a euphemism for boobs.
It actually comes from an old nursery rhyme in England, it references the ghost of the minors who perished in the coal mine tunnels. The word Tommy is a reference to Englishman. Anyway the nursery rhyme reads “late last night and the night before, Tommyknockers, Tommyknockers, knocking at my door. I want to go out but I don’t think I can, because I’m too scared of the Tommyknocker man.”
@@antmagor The American/Irish version is different, never heard of that before
Thanks I now use that to trigger my sister 😂
Specifically "man-boobs" (since "knockers" already means "boobs"). 😄
I wish Tim Curry's Pennywise had made a cameo in this movie like he did in the book
@Red Coin as they are driving down the road at one point i belive near the end of the book one of the characters says they thought they saw a clown threw the runoff drain i think it even said they were driving threw and past dairy but that last part might be wrong but a big reason its so brought up and scary is its AFTER THE ADULTS LOSERS CLUB KILLED IT implying it either is still alive or perhaps spawned a child before it died
Domykoners

@@wilmagregg3131 also, let's not forget the message "PENNYWISE LIVES" left on the loser's celebative monument in "The Dreamcatcher" (obvsly the book)
wait what?
Those rumors you talked about are absolutely correct Doug. Stephen King was so trashed on cocaine when he was writing this that he had to use toilet paper to stop his nosebleeds. He has admitted this himself. He has also admitted that he feels that this is the worst book he has ever written. To paraphrase him, " There's a brilliant 400 page novel hidden somewhere in these 700 pages of crap."
I dont always agree with King, he didnt like Kubrics Shining either. Tommyknockers is one of his best works imo
You could say that about a LOT of his stuff, even the greats: Christine (it did NOT need all that BORING FOOTBALL CRAP), and the Shining (same for all mention of "The Little School"l
That’s probably true of most great novels.
Same when he wrote Cujo, It, and Maximum Overdrive. So blitzed on coke, he doesn't even remember writing them.
It is. Like yeah, The Godfather is an absolute classic, but it did NOT need all the backstory about the Don and Johnny Fontane, and don't even get me started with all the stuff about Lucy's vagina. No, I'm not a prude or a "snowflake" with that last one, it just does nothing at all to advance the plot or characters in a meaningful way.
The real thing I'm wondering about is why the hot blond mail-lady has an affair with the pudgy mail-guy. Why isn't she off trying to become a playmate or hook up with a rich guy?
"It was explained in the book."
I'll just keep sitting down.
I wondered the same thing but, considering NC called the guy out for being an asshole for choosing to have sex instead of searching for a lost little boy and didn't call out the woman for doing the exact same thing, I figured the imbalances cancelled each other out.
@Julia Mimi Maybe she's just into asshole's.
Toamnokkkkkkkkkker
Movie's gotta movie. Where in real life wud a woman like that go for a guy like that?
@@ShazeemKhan If she's not shallow and finds things she likes about him other than his looks then it's totally possible.

They need to cut the crap on these copyright claims.
Right because god forbid someone protects there intellectual property this is like entering someone's home spitting on there carpet then when asked to leave you hack another loogie and say your rights are infringed.
@@syndromeofadowns This is under fair use due to the fact the full movie is not being uploaded for money therefore they have no right to copyright claim the video.
@@darthreaper6311 you mis define fare use. Fare use is so a teacher can play an episode of bill bye and not go to jail. Not so some dude with a RUclips profile can make money off Steven kings work.
@@syndromeofadowns Interesting because I got this definition of fair use out of the online dictionary:
"(in US copyright law) the doctrine that brief excerpts of copyright material may, under certain circumstances, be quoted verbatim for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, and research, without the need for permission from or payment to the copyright holder."
This video and all Nostalgia Critic videos fall under fair use due to him criticing it with brief excerpts of said media. In your example the teacher would go to jail for playing the whole episode without consent from Bill Nye.
@@darthreaper6311 dude stop liking your own comments
Edit: regardless the practices of RUclips fall well within there rights as the platform holders to operate in a tighter accordance than the law its self to protect themselves.
Aww, that means no X-Files theme
Fuck RUclips's Bullshit corporate sucking Copyright system. XFiles was the best part
I just play the X-Files intro in a second tab.
I'm glad its not just me wondering lmao.
BTW: Just watched Doctor Sleep. It's possibly the best adaptation I've ever seen. I've read over 50 of Stephen King's novels; and I've never seen a movie that surpassed the clarity and detail of my imagination before Mike Flanagan threw his hat in the ring. I hope he does "Insomnia" next.
The ending to movie Doctor Sleep was dookie. I prefer the happy ending of the book.
Love Doctor Sleep for multiple reasons. The fact it's also got a lot of dedication to multiple adaptations to the original The Shining is pretty great too.
"So, the whole entire town shows up...all 12 of them." 😂😂 honestly that was the case with the town I grew up in!
Um u lived in a village then
@@drredacted9485 I didn't grow up in a village, my town was small. But, this comment was mostly a joke! 😂
WOW OMG SK SK SK WAT A HILARIOUS JOKE EMILEE😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Town is way more ppl & establishments but I get your joke
Is your town in Maine?
That Gilligan’s Island joke got me!😂😂😂
The Roger Rabbit scene still makes me laugh so hard to this day lmaooo
“GOOOOO”
“Okay! Okay! 😳”
God I’m so glad someone else pointed that out😂 I also like how he waits for a response and then it catches you off guard

I like the irony considering the woman who plays the cop is in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
GO!
*Nostalgia Critic had hair?!*
A Goat With PTSD rude
Ok, yes, to answer your question, but if your trying to make a joke about Nostalgia Critic having hair, it has already been made when he got a hair cut, but if not, douche.
no, no, It is legit. I started watching him like 2 months ago, and when I saw this video, which states it is a "re-upload", I noticed that he had hair, and I asked myself if it was real, or not.
Wow I feel old now
Yeah, on his chin. :v
The TV telling her to kill reminded me of IT
I think that’s the inspiration
Yeah in the book it’s a painting of Jesus
The exchange at the police station was the funniest one, in my opinion.
Kid in large group: I'm scared of the creepy dolls.
Policewoman: It's okay. Let's see them again when it's only the two of us.
Wat?
“Dude, you’re not going to find the kid in her vagina!”
Classic
He will find a kid there in ~9 months.
What he doesn't realize is that while that is where babies come from, this particular kid has been out and about for a while now. XD
Dear internet,
Leave the critic alone please.
Thanks.
It fucking copyright
And? If I review a show I should be able to show parts of the show
alan brizan
No, it is not “fucking copyrighting”. smh
What about the fair use copyright law?
“A fair use is any copying of copyrighted material that is done for a limited and “transformative” purpose such as to COMMENT UPON, CRITICIZE, or PARODY of copyrighted work. Such uses can be done without the permission of the copyright owner.”
Exactly! RUclips should reconsider its evaluation of the so-called "copyright" infringement.
Unless the copyright status of the X-Files theme has recently been changed, in which even then, RUclips would be in the wrong for flagging this video for copyright violation, as it violates the principle of prospectivity in the Rule of Law, which states that all new laws should only pertain to future events. You can't be penalized for something you did BEFORE the law was enacted.
RUclips, LEAVE THE NOSTALGIA CRITIC ALONE!! He's not doing anything wrong here.
@@alanbrizan It's Fair Use, have you been living under a rock, fair use is not made up. Look it up on a official government website.

A lot of Stephen king stories take place in Maine. A lot of John Hughes stories take place in Chicago
Heather Caldwell and a lot of Farrelly brothers films take place in the Rhode Island area
Heather Caldwell and it all take in same World
You write what you know.
alot of lovecrafts works took place in england
Lovecraft was in New England, mostly Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
I collected porcelain dolls from different vacation spots as well. Kinda shocked to be met with THAT nostalgia here in not just a movie, but a Stephen King one 😂
Honestly, while I can see why it may creep some people out I don't have any problem with collecting dolls. In all fairness it's not any weirder than the fact that I collect knives, swords, and such.
Wait...did you NOT make up the part where they say “We’re taking him to the hospital in Derry,” and the ONLY SEEMINGLY SANE ADULT IN TOWN frantically replies, “No no no NO NO!!”
That wasn’t an overdub!? There’s actually THAT high a level of self-referential meta-knowledge in Stephen King’s Maineiverse...and yet we’re expected to believe that ANYONE still voluntarily lives there!?! Who TF lives in a place where the nearest hospital pediatric ward is in the town YOU KNOW IS INHABITED BY AN ELEMENTAL THAT FEEDS ON THE FLESH OF TERRIFIED CHILDREN...and you just, I don’t even know!? Cross your fingers and hope your kids don’t ever break an arm or get croup or whatever!?
Well, characters also say scathing things about sai King's writing on a regular basis and at least one character calls him out to his face.
@ Yeah, but the fact that he seems aware of Pennywise is still pretty weird. Maybe it's subconscious?
This is on a different level of the Dark Tower than IT
Crinbo Agreed!
in the book, characters see a clown in a sewer grate staring at them... derry plays pretty heavily, there and bangor
I've seen this miniseries and here's one of my many questions: how the hell is Olive Oyl a cop? She's dimwitted, passive, childlike, clueless about her husband's affair, and can't tell when she's being lied to. Those are not the qualities of a halfway decent police officer! Can you imagine her trying to arrest someone?
To quote Frances McDormand in "Fargo", "Not sure I agree with ya 100% on your police work there."
To be fair, it is a very small town.
@@jbvader721 Fargo, the movie that has plot holes the size of grand canyon and where the police work make no sense at all
Why does Coke always like to be know with explosions? Is their point so that every time you see a Coke machine in a movie you would want a explosion or is it the other way around ?
Yes.
in the book the coke machines had been converted to flying sentry robots patrolling the town boarder streets looking to attack anyone who shouldn't be there
it was super wacky and i loved it. The mini series probably didn't have the budget to do that, so this was the best they could do
Actually that's probably true of the whole story. It's one of my favorite stephen king stories, it's absolutely nanner boat bananers
but you could never make it on a budget
It reminds me of this one Arnold Schwarzenegger movie where they bombed a police station by putting the bomb in the soda machine.
In the Stephen King universe, so much takes place in Maine due to Pennywise's presence there (his books share a universe).
I just assumed it was because he was born, raised and still lives in Maine. But, that would be too simple.
Ugh. Fine. Everyone, just imagine the X-Files theme during the intro.
Is it bad that I'd definitely buy that Mr Tumee doll?
No, its bad that it does not yet exist! I must have 10!
Holy shit its des
It's Mr toomi. And for what it's worth, so would I.
Stephen Fox I want to rig a 100 of them to go off all at the same time.

The Penguin: Give that bastard hell with the umbrella! Show em what for!
Where I work, it's not only acceptable to be a bit festive with our outfits, but my boss actually encourages it. She says the food may be what brings in new customers, but its the smiles we all share with them that keeps them coming back time and time again. But I will agree that the dolls do seem a bit out of place. Not entirely creepy. My high school teachers (and I mean nearly EVERY high school teacher) used to collect rubber ducks. I never understood why, but I just went with it. It didn't distract me at all.

7:09 That's actually a Savannah Monitor and completely legal to own in most states. Ironically, Maine isn't one of them. For those curious, yes, you can put the larger types of monitors on leashes and walk them. Some crocadillians and tegus too.
7:07 That's a Monocled Cobra, a juvenile i think, based on the size. They're common in venomous reptile collections, since they're not as deadly as other types of Cobra and don't get as big. The REALLY stupid part is that you can see the tank it was in at 6:56. THAT IS NOT AT ALL EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO AN ACCEPTABLE CONTAINER FOR CARRYING A VENOMOUS REPTILE!! To transport dangerous reptiles, they need to either be in a tied snake bag within another sturdy-walled container, or be in a container within a larger container with secure lids. Either locked or taped shut. This is to minimize potential accidents, because all it takes is for the tip of a fang to get through an air hole where your finger's at. But no, that lady has a 10 gal glass terrarium that doesn't even look like it has a lid. That's not how you should transport ANY snake, venomous or no. Grab a heat pack, grab a pillowcase, put snake in pillowcase, put snake and heat pack in plastic box with a lid, poke holes in side of said box, and wrap masking tape around the middle if your especially paranoid or the snake's worth over $1000. Boom, done. Unless it's venomous, then put the snake back in it's regular enclosure and go call the exotic reptile vet you should already have in your contacts and scheduled a time for THEM to come to YOU like most smart danger noodle keepers do.
Normal vets don't even treat reptiles, they require a specialist. And even then, most experienced keeps, aka the kind who would be keeping a cobra, tend to take care of their reptiles themselves unless it's an emergency. And that snake looks fine, it's not injured or sick or dying. I hate this scene so much for such stupid reasons.
Geez this series is getting more reboots then Yu-Gi-Oh
GX is more of a continuation then a reboot as is 5Ds I think. don't know what the new one is like stopped watching the show after 5Ds cause for me when they started playing on motorcycles that there is when they jumped the shark
TheAllSeeingEye yes the original, gx and 5d’s is a continuation upon that, Zexal is believed to be an alternative timeline of 5d’s and the rest I have no idea.
Atelier God I was making a joke
TheAllSeeingEye how dare you dishonor little kiribo by insulting the term "card games on motorcycles"
The different Yugioh series arent reboots, they're spin-offs

Nah, Family Guy did it funnier first.
@@ericrakestraw664 depends on your type of humor, I prefer NC’s version :p
There's a reason thay so many of King's characters are authors and alcoholics. He was once an alcoholic himself, so his real life inspired his novels.
Sad that you had to remove the X-Files theme...oh well I'm glad 2011's Nostalgiaween is back because it's one of my favorites!!!
I'm from Maine & i can confirm, we are very sick
Ew you have brothers"sleeping" together there? Lol😂
11:10
"Why are you so mean to me?!"
"Why is it(IT) so mean?"
Amazing
Just a point of note;
The "Mini series" of Tommy Knockers was only about 50% accurate. A huge chunk of it had applied "artistic interpretation" to the way the book was written and really is a far cry from the actual book. Director John Power, and Writer Lawrence D. Cohen, took what is in many ways one of Stephen kings more compelling novels, and turn it into an Abortion of silly mutation that really is an insult to the original novel which was so much better. At the end of the book, 75% of the town people died after the UFO left, and the antagonist "Roberta Anderson", gets murdered by the protagonist Jim Gardner, as they fight with one another over the ship, which he then takes control of, and in his last dying thoughts, he launches the ship (Which was more Saucer shaped in the book) into space, heading to "Altair 4", the planet where little David got teleported to. The Coke machines, in the book, only explode when someone does enough damage to them, to cause them to no longer function. In the book, all the coke machines are converted into a sort of flying sentry bot that patrols the town, crashing its massive size into any person they think are a threat to the towns people. While Smoke detectors are converted into scouting drones that fly through the air like mini flying saucers, and operate as a scouting system. When they detect an intruder, the go off with their high pitched screech, which alerts the Coke machines to the location of a threat.
Deputy Becka Paulson, was having conversations with a picture of Jesus on her wall, that she would pray to every night; not the TV. Bobbi's dog was a 25lb Scottish Terrier, not a huge 300lb mutt. In the book a couple of the kids get sent to Derry on a battery run, and run into Penny wise, who winks at them and waves, and you find out in the book, that the Alien creature from the book "IT", was actually one of the survivors of the spaceship crash, who managed to launch itself at the last minute in an escape pod, which landed nearby in the town of Derry. Plus there are dozens more events, scenes and setting that happen in the book, that the movie completely overlooked, and all in all the movie is a joke, compared to the book which was far far far better. I would suggest, that you read the book and do a critique on that, and compare it against the shitty movie. Which sadly is the reality of Stephen Kings literal content, and how badly each story gets screwed up by "Artistic interpretation".
I finished the tommy knockers book recently and I read "IT" a few months ago. IT was created in the macro verse along with Matrin the turtle. He wasn't a tommy knocker. In my opinion both versions of the tommy knockers are pretty mediocre. The mini series cut out a lot of the boring digging scenes and unnecessary deaths. While the book had better characters and action scenes. At the end of the book I felt absolutely awful for jim gardner but in the mini series it was just kinda sudden. Although I do believe the book is better it's not better by much. IMO anyway

I read the book and watched the mini series. Here's a fun fact from the book...the character, Bobby, begins having her period after she begins digging up the spaceship, and she doesn't stop having her period. Also the air in this Maine town begins to change, so that if you were coming in from the outside it would kill you, but if you lived in the town you would adapt.
The guys have their period too, just out of their nose
Just have to say that Mr. Boogedy was one of my favorite movies as a child and still is today.
You just reminded me that I had a Roger Rabbit doll (one of the larger ones in that pile you showed) when I was a kid. Wonder what ever happened to that...

If (maybe) it had been an R-rated two-part film (ala "It"), with a respectable budget, they might have pulled it off.
You could cover one of the rare good King miniseries like "Storm of the Century".
That was good, but way too long.
You know what? I’m just going to put this out there for the critic to see.
There are some rumored Stephen King stories that did make it as TV show episodes that are really REALLY scary. I’m not talking about a new mini-series. No. I’m talking about a Spanish TV show that used stories King himself sent in.
It’s called Mujer: Casos De La Vida Real, and some of, if not most of them, are actually scary as well as real. Good luck sitting through the Eyeless Boy episode, or the Baby Sacrifice Episode.
The Critics reaction @ 11:39 is HILARIOUS . " MY GOD what is this guy ??! " . Its just awesome ........
3:32 "JoJo's never been broken" ...Well, I'm pretty sure DIO and Pucci have a thing or two to say about that
The Becka Paulson subplot was a short story of King's and was later used as an episode of the Outer Limits called, "The Revelations of Becka Paulson." It starred Catherine O'Hara as Becka and Steven Weber as the man on the TV who encourages her to kill her husband.
Shame such a good review keeps getting taken down. You think king would start going easier on you after the video of you praising his work
TrixTrax it’s probably not Stephen king himself probably just Hollywood in general
Gage Desrosiers I know but it’s just funny to make fun of Stephen king
And that is why clipless reviews exist now.
The only thing that's changed (i think) are the xfiles theme replaced with more generic music at the start & end
I'm pretty sure he was copyright claimed for using the X Files music.

In the book, it's a picture of Jesus on top of the TV that talks to her. At this point in the book the Tommyknockers' ship is being uncovered, which starts fucking with the town. Even in the book though the "scene" is out of place (nothing at all similar happens to anyone else), but I've heard that it was part of a different, shorter story that King liked so much that he just wanted to add it to this book.
"The lost city of Tetris" lmao

This was the first Stephen King movie I ever saw and it kinda defined my view of him henceforth. He likes to write about some form of possession or another.
not to play armchair psychologist but could be it’s something to do with his past addiction
I don't know why people are complaining this is one of his better reviews he could re-upload this every week and I would still watch it
The doll room totally sounds like something I'd do.
Apparently Tommyknockers are imp/gnomes that live in underground mines.
