What is
He's also known to dabble in the various ''[[Star Trek]]'' franchises and for this reason he's often compared (and paired) with [[SF Debris]], and he's borrowed one of SF Debris's catch phrases ("Too good for 'em, I say!") in a couple of reviews.
Line 31:
** Although he mostly keeps his anger in check (i.e., down to a state of mild irritation at best), definitely do not, if you are a screenwriter, have a character make two contradictory statements ''in the very exact same scene'', or you will be kindly instructed to '''''KEEP THE FUCK TRACK OF WHAT YOUR CHARACTERS ARE SAYING''''', as happens in his ''[[Knowing]]'' review.
* [[Bias Steamroller]]: "Like almost all Animes ever made, the world in which [[Spirited Away|this]] is set is not very well-defined."
* [[
* [[Brick Joke]]: In his [[Deep Space Nine]] review, early on Sisko is stabbed by a creepy Bajoran kid. Near the end of the review.
{{quote|'''
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Several, including "Oh no, I'm sorry, that's what someone who ''wasn't'' retarded would have done," "[[A Wizard Did It]]", and "You're better than this!" (shouted at a photo of the writers).
** Used to review ''Star Trek: Generations'' and ''Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End'': "Oh! No one take evasive action, or anything. We'll just float here and DIE!"
Line 98:
* [[Shout-Out]]: Near the end of his review of ''[[Knowing]]'', he summarizes the film in the style of The Colonel from ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]''.
{{quote|"Right, stop that. It's silly. Very, silly indeed. Started out as a nice little idea about a small girl's paper predicting future events and now it's just got silly."}}
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]:
** Generally not the case though. He doesn't show much egotism, rather he is simply very opinionated, very opposed to common viewpoints on movies, and (most importantly) VERY LOUD!!!!!!!
* [[So Okay It's Average]]: His opinion of several movies, including ''2010: The Year We Made Contact'' (which he nonetheless considerably prefers to its predecessor) and the Tom Cruise version of ''[[War of the Worlds]]''
* [[Something Completely Different]]: "Matthew's Favourite Movies", a new segment devoted to [[Gushing About Shows You Like]]. He was concerned that only talking about what he disliked meant his critical position could not be fully appreciated.
** He has also begun new video series "Observe and Report", brief commentaries on strange things outside the world of cinema, and "Mini-reviews", for films which he does not consider bad or confusing but have a few things he wants to discuss. These often consist of the other films in trilogies where Matthew has made a conventional review of the remaining parts, such as ''[[The Matrix]]''.
Line 113:
* [[Very Loosely Based on a True Story]]: He took issue with the way in which [[Titanic]] played fast and loose with the actual events, feeling that a very real human tragedy was overshadowed by a hackneyed love story. He also considered the film's fabrications such as the wholly undeserved [[Historical Villain Upgrade]] of William Murdoch and Third Class passengers not being allowed on the lifeboats to be very offensive.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Calls Rhodey out on this in [[Iron Man 2]], pointing out that even if he's worried about Tony Stark accidentally harming someone while drunk in the Iron Man suit, intentionally stealing a spare suit and starting a robot fight is most likely end with someone getting either killed or injured.
* [[Your Secrets Safe With Me Superman]]: He will sometimes refer to characters by the name of the actor playing
