Mr. Coat

I can handle an editorial but this is different. I know I'm not trying to be childish and make a great WWIII out of it, but I guess it's best to get this off my chest. I can handel critisicm, but this has gone too far. Previously, I was taking a look at the "Dissecting Morgan Leger" postings. I was not pleased with what I saw. The following is a basic...response if I might say of my many disapointed and great anguish twoards this. First off, at least KRHbacon was kind enough to place this as constructive criticsm and not troll about. That is at least the only positive thing about this.

Second, and I quote, "...despite his frequently expressed disliking for being called a rip-off or copycat of the Nostalgia Critic, sort of is one ... Again, no offense to Morgan, but it isn't him reviewing the same things that results in this, but him stealing jokes from the NC. Whether it be the "Bat credit-card" joke or how the last line in the intro to his Bruno review is nearly identical to that of the NC's intro to his review of Bio-Dome."
The Bat credit card joke was what I thought was a tip of the hat to it rather then a "line for line remake" and I don't know what line you are talking about in Bruno, but that is highly coincidential. When I first started this series in December 2008, I honest to God didn't know who Doug Walker was. I just thought at the time I was the only one to do nostalgic lookbacks, but originally in a documentry way. It just seemed more like I had no personality and just didn't appear interesting. So, by summer, I decided to revise the format and got more used to working with what I had. But stayed away from that Chicago reviewer's style as best as I could. He was like Mozart in Amadeus, not wasted talent, but too immature at some points.

Third, and I quote, "You've potential with your shows. If you wrote out a script or did research, you could have something great. Maybe, sometime, you could let me write a script for an episode of "DVD Talk" or co host an episode with you. Not only could this possibly improve the show, but it could give my, as of now, not yet produced show That Show w/ Ryan Hipp."

Part A of my respose - I improvise my shows because I don't have enought time to write one with all that goes on. However, there are times where I do have to interact with my other characters and thus, I have to make notes on what to say. The only fully scripted review to date is Fergully, which was souly Logan's comments (if you watched the bloody commentary that is.)
Part B of my response - After what you have been saying about me, no thank you. I've never felt so vulnerable and nude up till now. A lot of people care very little about these "mistakes." They are just here for enjoyment rather then something serious and taken too literal.

Fourth, and I quote, "Again, no matter what I say about the crew here, I want you all to know that I do respect you all for your ambitions and talent, and that I in no way wish to put anyone down. If I do, I'm very sorry."
No comment except apology accepted.

Fifth, and I quote, "I inferred this through his sometimes slurred speech and redundancy. Like in his review of Mac And Me, he is trying to say that some of his favorites deserved to be on the Nostalgia Critic's Top 11 Underrated Classics video, but ends up with something along the lines of 'those films deserved to be on that num...number 11 list, and you know it!' "
That was an episode shot back in May and I consider it my least favorite on terms of execution and that way it played out. It just didn't feel like a Filmbuff episode, but some random kid just standing there and ranting about a bad film with a low budget. Also, I see my first season as a pilot series of episodes. Testing the characters, seeing how they work, and what needs imporvement.

Sixth, and I quote, "The reason I feel that he doesn't do a whole lot of research is how in his Bruno review he implied that Borat was non well-received critically, despite holding a 91% "certified fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes and receiving an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay (also, how he called Sacha Baron Cohen "Sacha Bonan Conan"). Then there is the T2 review where he claims that the Extreme DVD is a reissue of the Ultimate Edition DVD, despite the fact that the Extreme DVD was intended as a companion to the Ultimate DVD (note how the Extreme DVD actually has a hidden trailer for the Ultimate DVD)."
First, I don't know how Bonan came in there. For my time, I thought it was Bonan rather then Baron. Companion DVD or not, when re-releasing a DVD of a film, it still counts as a reissue. Even if they change the cover or add new bells and whistles to keep the viewer preocupied with his/her time, it still counts.

Finally, and I quote, "And the reason I'm doing this whole thing is because I see Morgan Leger and see a great amount of potential in this guy. He has the opportunity to create a superb video series, but something subpar (far from being bad, mind you) comes instead. I'm just trying to be helpful."
As much as I appreciate your comments, how do you see potential in one that is flawed to the max as presented by the evidence here above in this forum. I appreciate your help pointing out these nitpicks, but of course everyone is entitled to their own opinon. What bothers me more is why are you just critically analyzing me rather then the rest of the gang. It makes no sense. Why is that I'm the only one getting the tears and everyone else is just hanging on the drying rack.

Well, as of now, this more then constructive critisim, this is nothing more but a bash. Being the Scottish type I am, you don't know how easily angry I can get from this. Ryan, I hope you appreciate what you do, but when it comes to giving me the punch to the gut with your words of Shakespeare criticism, then you have made youself one unfortunate enemy. Congradulations and good day to you sir.

I don't know if you got over this issue yet Morgan, but I want to help. Does this KRHbacon have a Youtube account? If he does, I'll give him a piece of my mind. I can't believe at how nitpicky he was to your review of Seth & Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show, as even though there were mistakes, I still really enjoyed it a lot! That's what matters, not being right on everything.

Let me know if this guy has a Youtube account & I'll help you out!

P.S., I subscribed to you backup channel & I sent you a friend invite on it.

The guy's been blocked from here, so I guess it's time for bygones to be bygones... Until he makes the next move.

Well, Morgan did send me the link to his channel, so I gave him a piece of my mind, hopefully ending this feus. I guess we can all just forget about it (as long as he doesn't come back under another alias)!

I never intended for my original comments on that one episode of "Vaulting" to escalate into this. Wow. I feel it necessary to respond. After this, I hope this whole thing can be forgotten, and please do not block this account, I promise not to do such criticism again on here if that is what's wanted.

I, in no way, had any idea of this. I would like to apologize.

Again, very sorry.

Understood.

I have nothing to say about that first part, it is easily understood. But, about the T2 thing, it sounded as if you were saying the DVD in particular was a reissue. Simple misunderstanding.

1. I do NOT think you are flawed "to the max". I think there are some flaws, which everyone, no matter what they do, are going to have.
2. The reason I was talking about you in particular was because, well, you are the only person I watch on the site. Not that anyone else here is bad or anything, it is just that they aren't my cup of tea, you know?
3. I never wanted to hurt anyone's feelings, to which I deeply apologize. I try the hardest I can to be the nicest I can, and it hurts me when I hurt someone. I'm very sorry.

Like I said in the preface, I hope that we can let this whole thing pass. And, please, no banning. I promise not to do any of the extended critical analysis.

I forgive you. To be fair, The Ryan Hipp Hour seemed to me like a decent idea. There was just some elements that needed to be ironed out, but it was a decent view over all. I understand how one can feel about another one's work, but at least I know your not the type of character that would torment another. All I have left to say is I apologize for my misjudgment, but at least you understand.

I forgive you. Even if I will defend my friends to the death, I am also a very forgiving one. I am sorry for that comment on your Youtube channel trying to defend Morgan. I sure hope there are no hard feelings, are there?

I didn't even see the comment. Which channel did you put it on?
