    Would be interesting to see one on Robin Williams? He may be gone but never forgotten and how much of an impact he had on comedy and a lot of peoples childhood.
    Edit: First off wow. Over 800 likes in two days. Second I love both actors and they bring a smile to everyone. Jim Carrey I have some memories of with mostly Grinch, Bruce Almighty and both Ace Ventura movies but I also remember Robin Williams a lot more because he was in a way a child like all of us. An imaginary friend that would always be there for you. Another career dive that would be a great tribute would be to Christopher Plummer who just passed away at 91.

      He can do drama well, and he can act well. I hope he gives it another try because whatever the fuck it is he's doing now, is NOT working.

    I will say that nowadays, he's cleaned up from that odd "none of us matter" way of thinking. He was going through a period of flops, had someone close to him die and being blamed for it, etc, and it had a REALLY BAD effect on his mental health. Over the past couple of years, though, he seemed to... well... be okay. He seems to have gotten through that okay and ceased the odd philosophical talk.

    The initial reaction to Jim Carrey's casting was generally one of complete bafflement, considering how he neither sounds nor looks anything like Dr. Eggman of the Sonic the Hedgehog games. It didn't help that Carrey's Hollywood movie career had been floating in shallow waters for the past six years, and his hiring was seen by some as Stunt Casting by a studio desperate for a big celebrity name to play the villain. *Post-release, it's widely agreed that Carrey absolutely nailed the character with his outrageously over-the-top, yet intimidating when necessary performance, and at times even sounds uncannily close to the gravelly-voiced character from the games.*

      I grew up with both the original sonic games and my dad showing me Jim carrey, the mask, the Truman show, liar liar, and few others. I was born in the early 2000s so most of these movies my dad showed me via DVD. When I saw the original trailer(with furry sonic) I was at college and a group of us watched the trailer, the only thing we thought would be good is carrey as Eggman, despite the fact he doesnt really look like him. I do enjoy the movie and I'm glad they removed the furry sonic and made it better, but I love carrey performance.

      I do agree, but I can see why actors hold it in such esteem. The Academy is your peers in acting and Hollywood, it's an affirmation from people that know exactly what goes into what you do. That said I personally just look at it as Hollywood jerking itself off and don't understand the mainstream hype, but I can understand someone actually in the industry thinking it's a big deal.

    I just have to say Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of my favourite films because it's so beautiful and so meaningful to me. The first time I fell in love in my freshman year of college, I watched that movie for the first time with my boyfriend and I cried and said, "Please don't forget about me no matter what happens" and then after we broke up, I worried that maybe he would try to forget and that I wouldn't have meant much to him. And then five years later, I was having a rough day and I saw him when I was getting lunch and he asked about my dog and my brother and about the novels I'd written and we talked about Eternal Sunshine again and I was so happy that even though we had both moved on that he still remembered everything. It made me feel like I mattered to him. I think that's why movies that deal with memory like Eternal Sunshine and Coco work so well- because we all want to feel like we mattered and when people remember us, it shows that. Sorry for rambling, but I just have a lot of feelings tied to that movie.

      My feeling is that Doug really wants to move away from Nostalgia Critic, if not retire NC altogether and do some different things, but he's worried that his fans will abandon him if he does. It could also be that Mike Michaud doesn't want to lose NC out of fear that Channel Awesome will fall apart without the Critic at it's center. I say if Doug wants to end NC and try something else, he should go for it. He's been doing NC for years now, and his true fans will support whatever he chooses to do.
