LOL @ the dude that played Jordan on The Bernie Mac Show as the Nerd’s black best friend. I really don’t know what to make of this…
I never said he wasn’t. That doesn’t mean anything.
The Nerd will beat him till the white meat shows? :lol:
Well how many more garbage games could he really do from the true retro era? E.T. is about the only thing he has left.
He’ll eventually have to move on to PS1, then he’s got a few more options. Cosmic Race comes to mind. But if he sticks to cart based systems, he’s pretty much done once this movie is.
I wouldn’t watch it even if I was drunk.
I would watch it. Seems more like his own personal project rather than just a typical Video Game Nerd video. IMO it makes sense to make a movie like this, he pretty much mentions all the time how much he wants to be a filmmaker.
I liked his fan documentary “Rocky Jumped a Park Bench”. Yea it isn’t a nerd video, but it is a James Rolfe movie (which I am thinking what this will be like)
Agreed. James has made over 200 low budget videos/short films over his entire lifetime. I hardly believe he would take this project for granted. I don’t how much time he is putting into this movie but since it ISN’T coming out until next summer, I will remain passively optimistic.
The guy earned a living video-taping weddings, and in his spare time, posted amateur videos online. Virtually all were complete crap; even most of his fans would agree. However, one character he played, the AVGN, became insanely popular. Even thought it was probably not what he wanted to spend years of his life doing, it was also what made him very successful.
This is more what he actually wants to do; writing and directing a corny movie, which just happens to star the Nerd character. Props to him for realizing his dream. That’s awesome.
However, I won’t pay money to see this; I have seen his other longer films on his channel, and they’re absolutely abysmal. The trailer to this also look terrible. Even if he improves considerably on his past work, it will probably still end up a very poor film.
I dont expect a lot. But it will be a good laugh watching it.
Here’s my take.
It’s most likely going to be lame. Any fans in here, I’m sorry, but it’s true. Give up on your hopes for sleeper blockbuster.
All I hope for is it mirrors Street Fighter: The Movie in its level of lame. If it’s good for laughs and actually strives for a somewhat coherent story, I’ll still watch it, for the unintentional lulz.

ET3:16 is gonna raise some hell!
Well I feel like I’d just be cutting and pasting replies…but I’ll give my 2 cents anyways.
I love the AVGN vids and it was always great whenever gametrailers would have a new episode posted. As many people here have said, his best work comes when he is being informative and sincerely pointing out the flaws in the games he’s playing. Most of the time the stupidity from these games just sort of writes itself so he only needs to react and explain the context of the stupidity. I give him credit in creating this "gamer V-blog"genre and for all the work he has pulled and I can tip my hat to him for making a business out of this. I don’t know how good the movie will be but I see no reason to turn away from it…I’ve spent hours on worse things so I’m sure a 90+ minute movie won’t ruin my life. I hope it’s good but I realize its a complete departure from what made some of the AVGN episodes really great.
At any rate I’m hoping for the best but I’m expecting the worst thinking that maybe just maybe I will be a bit surprised.
Wait, are you really saying that you think two hours of “fuckballs” and “diarrhea cum boogershit” ISN’T going to be the greatest thing ever? Wow. I just lost all respect for you.
The trailer is not funny. I’m sorry but his old days are behind him. Like everyone else says, he’s only good on being informative.
I like James but that trailer was cringeworthy. I am happy that he gets to live out his dreams though, so I’ll probably watch it just to give him support.
My laptop is super laggy (damn magicmovies) and I gotta write a paper soon buuuuuuut
my favorite parts are when he does the zoom-ins on the BS in games.
Movies looks like it gonna have some laughs. Good for this dude, had an idea way back when and has ran w/ it.
movie looks fun, comments on this page remind me of the same ones on wreck it ralph.
This guy has wanted to be on the big screen his whole life. I’d definitely support a DvD/bluray release. Hopefully it gets shown at local theaters too.
Which, for the most part, were overwhelmingly positive? The ones here are not.
Anywho, I doubt this will lead to anything; it’s more of a one-shot deal. Still, good on the guy for living his dream. Hopefully, he makes some money from the DVD sales.
I think it could be cool. I love his videos so seeing a movie might be fun and he’s pretty solid at the whole filmmaking thing.
he pretty much said it all in this video:

Even if the movie isnt good, he is now doing what he loves, that being said, Im going to buy the DVD, I believe he has the potential for making really good movies in the future.
