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
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.”
the coke machine thing reminds of when Homer Simpson calls Marge tell her he can't take her to the ballet because he's stuck in two vending machines and rescuers have to saw his arms off. He asks: "They'll grow back, right?" lol
@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
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."
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
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.
Loved the added slapping sound when Hilly's parents are putting him in the car. Didn't even notice the dad accidently hits the mom when he's shutting the door. 😂 I howled.

20:19 actually tommyknockers are a “”real”” thing also called the knocker, knacker, Bwca (its Welsh), Bucca and also Tommyknockers their kind of like a Irish leprechaun or English/Scottish Brownies, long story short they are spirit/creatures that live deep under ground and are normally connected to mining communities where they can be mischievous or helpful depending on how the miners treat them and how respectful they are to the spirits.
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.
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.
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.
It's actually a step into King's life imo. He seems to take inspiration from his life, so the dramatic stuff might be written from real experiences. Kind of like his "therapy."
That's pretty accurate. Dreamcatcher is probably the stand out example. A lot of that book was inspired by his post car accident recovery. In particular he's mentioned how the painkillers he used caused very severe and painful constipation. Yeah. Easy to see the shit weasel inspiration lol.

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.
6:19 I’ve got my own gilligans island parody song here for the god awful remake of the haunting. They stayed in a haunted house of course for a fear experiment, with insomniac, the doctor too, the door keeper and his wife, the hot bi one, the slacker and two assistants, here on hill house!
My Stephen King joke for 15:52 was “oh,so it’s based on a true story?” ...this is the one movie where the jokes are literally written by the audience...
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 ?
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
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.
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.
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! TH-cam 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, TH-cam 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. TH-cam, LEAVE THE NOSTALGIA CRITIC ALONE!! He's not doing anything wrong here.

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!?
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
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.
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?
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.
Reading the book now! The mail lady is never described as being so hot. Given her previous career as an adult actress I get the impression that the people involved in the production expanded her part to give her as much to do as possible. The child search comes after the husband is killed (and the way the kid vanishes is actually pretty spooky stuff), and it's not the TV that speaks to his wife, but a painting of Jesus that speaks to her in her father's voice. It's widely considered to be one of Kings worst books (even by King, he claims he regrets writing it, in fact), but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying it. The addiction angle really comes across, you can feel the pain of it as well. Genuinely trippy, often sad and surprisingly unsettling. Absolutely wild stuff, and given the state King was in when he wrote it, it all adds up pretty well.
The book has nothing to do with this adaption. This movie is a complete mess that butchered the story of the book. And no, Tommyknockers is among the best he has written
"That's not the correct response to that. The correct response is 'THE FLYING FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-'" has made its way to my regular lexicon for weird sh!t in movies and games that don't get the proper reaction.
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.
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...
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.
Michael LaRose isn’t it typically considered among Kings lesser works? I believe he’s dismissed it himself as a product of his drug addled state of mind at the time of writing.

“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

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.
“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
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
*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
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!!!
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.
Dear internet,
Leave the critic alone please.
Thanks.

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! TH-cam 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, TH-cam 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.
TH-cam, LEAVE THE NOSTALGIA CRITIC ALONE!! He's not doing anything wrong here.

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

Ugh. Fine. Everyone, just imagine the X-Files theme during the intro.
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

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.

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.

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.
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.
It's the same reason John Hughes stuff was set in Chicago and lots of Marvel stuff is in New York. It's where the creators came from
If (maybe) it had been an R-rated two-part film (ala "It"), with a respectable budget, they might have pulled it off.
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.
Just have to say that Mr. Boogedy was one of my favorite movies as a child and still is today.

21:43 Hey that's from "Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus"!That was a good movie.
11:48 oh Vader would absolutely tear this guy down, Vader loved his wife.
The Critics reaction @ 11:39 is HILARIOUS . " MY GOD what is this guy ??! " . Its just awesome ........
Reading the book now! The mail lady is never described as being so hot. Given her previous career as an adult actress I get the impression that the people involved in the production expanded her part to give her as much to do as possible. The child search comes after the husband is killed (and the way the kid vanishes is actually pretty spooky stuff), and it's not the TV that speaks to his wife, but a painting of Jesus that speaks to her in her father's voice. It's widely considered to be one of Kings worst books (even by King, he claims he regrets writing it, in fact), but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying it. The addiction angle really comes across, you can feel the pain of it as well. Genuinely trippy, often sad and surprisingly unsettling. Absolutely wild stuff, and given the state King was in when he wrote it, it all adds up pretty well.
I'm watching this again after I just read this interview where Stephen King said he feels this is the worst thing he's ever written.
The book has nothing to do with this adaption. This movie is a complete mess that butchered the story of the book. And no, Tommyknockers is among the best he has written
@@leob4403 I'm just telling you what King said.

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.
When I heard the X-files theme at the end of the video I already knew it was gonna need a reupload
15:39 “Oh no. I’ve been Listerined!. Make sure my coffin is minty fresh.” XD
Get a look at those tommy knockers
On mail-Ho? They're pretty nice... But she was a pornstar after all.....at least until her real age came out,
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
This is one of those "a bunch of random stuff happens to a bunch of weirdos in a small town and the writer is the hero by the end" stories.

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.
3:32 "JoJo's never been broken" ...Well, I'm pretty sure DIO and Pucci have a thing or two to say about that
