    Though I am no fan of the Nostalgia Chick (because she is not as crazy as the
    Critic)... I admit she do a good job.

    Nice one Chick
  • Witney  - Memories... of beatings...
    Seeing as I don't have one of those... what did you call them? Vaginas?... Yeah,
    beause of that, I never got around to reading and of "The Babysitter's
    Club." I do, however, have a sister three years my senior who had an ample
    collection of them. She stacked them in a large yellow drawer along with her
    "Sweet Valley Twins/High" books.



    I recall that she was fiercely protective of these books. And not in the usual
    way (like the way some of my male friends protected basball cards, no); she was
    mean about it. If I, a mere six-year-old, was to touch her books, she would use
    her nine-year-old strength to pummel me and set my hair on fire.



    These threats only made wanting to se these girly books all the more alluring.
    What feminine secrets was she hiding in those secret tomes? I had to know.



    One afternoon, when I knew she wouldn't be home for a while, I peeked in the
    drawer. I flipped through some of her books, trying to find the secrets. I saw
    some bland illustrations of girls screaming and sitting kids, but nothing dark
    or revelatory. My curiosity piqed, I left them alone.



    Of course she knew that her books had been touched (how do big sisters do
    that?). She gave me an Indian burn that hurt the rest of the day.



    Thanks a lot Nostalgia Chick. My arm hurts again.
  • Johnny Midnite
    Her name is Cokey? As in like she does blow?! HAH! Also, was that Gypsy Kings
    covering Hotel California?!

    oh lord, i had finally forgotten about the babysitter-s club, and the
    babysitter's club little sister. I was forced to read a few of the books in 3rd
    grade... -shutters- i was more of a Nancy Drew//Hardy Boys books type of
    girl....
  • Supersly
    that was an awsome review <img src=ide:' title=':side:' class='postemoticon' />
  • jnywest
    Well, let me first say, that from the moment I first saw you in the Ferngully
    review, I have been in love.

    Now that that creepiness is over...

    I don't remember this movie at all, at first I thought it was the Elisabeth Shue
    movie. But, great as always, funny and great music at the end.

    You probaly have already picked a new line but, here is my suggestion none the
    less



    "Im the Nostalgia Chick...Need I say more?"

    and then just wink and smile at the camera

    ;)



    Thanks for all the reviews

    laters
  • Stellar_Shiva
    Nostalgia Chick, you are amazing! This is great! Keep up the great work! You
    should review, "Jem and the Holograms" next XD
  • Jarvis89
    Although I remember growing up with the books and the series I never
    watched/read them. But boy did that theme song haunt my dreams every night.
  • SpazzMaster  - What the hell? "PUPPIES!!!" was pure GOLD!!! lol
    Good review, as usual, but I still can't help to feel that somethingwas missing. Maybe it's because I'm a guy. I don't know. Fuck, I grew up with
    Power Rangers.
  • Linkara
    Let's get bizzay!
  • lissy  - Man did I hate this show
    I hated the book series hated the show (I saw one episode and flipped the
    channel) and you couldn't pay me enough to watch the movie I never understood
    why people liked them then again I have never been quite right socially speaking
    and have never fit into one of the stereotypical clicks.
  • Daeron
    great as always, damn was that hilarious.
  • Witney  - One more thing.
    That film has an amazing cast!



    In addition to Rachael Leigh Cook and Schuyler Fisk, it had Bruce Davison (who
    is less Sen. Kelly and more Willard in my mind), Brooke Adams, Colleen Camp, and
    Acadmey Award winner Ellen Burstyn!



    I'm surprised to didn't make any Exorcist jokes.
  • SentinelGaia
    My sister loved wathching this on disney back then, back when there was one
    disney, an it was all we needed,





    KA ka ka ka ka ka ka!!!
  • TheDramaticMonarch
    DIABETES! <img src=hock:' title=':shock:' class='postemoticon' />



    Holy hell, "The Babysitter's Club"!



    It's funny, I totally collected those books when I was a kid (hey, it was the
    trendy thing at the time!)...I even had a board game where they had to solve a
    mystery or something! The weirdest part is that I totally forgot all about them
    until now.



    I never did see that movie during my Babysitter's Club "obsession" (if
    you could call it that) but based on that "rap" scene alone, maybe it's
    a good thing I didn't see it.



    Keep on rocking, Lindsay! :D
  • glu
    That truly was super fucking girly!

    i want a subplot too :C
  • greatmuffin  - woo
    hotel California in spanish? i liked it. :woohoo:
  • Linkara
    You know, I liked that rap scene better when they did it on Happy Days. And it
    wasn't a rap.



    As always, excellent stuff, Lindsay! ^_^
  • YigSnakeDaddy
    Is it just me or hasn't Zach Braff aged since this show?
  • LordOrin  - "I love diabetes."
    Hilarious :lol:

    Also awesome choices of music B)
  • Erinaceus  - I Still Have a Thing for Larissa Oleynik...
    A movie that uses Diabetes as a thinly-veiled metaphor for AIDS?

    Apparently, this film didn't have the budget to hire any medical consultant who
    could've told them just how poor such a metaphor would be.

    On a lighter note, as a male, I never read the books or saw this film, and the
    only actress I recognized was Larissa Oleynik, as I was an Alex Mack fan as a
    kid, and I still find her attractive.

    Damn... I wanted Alex Mack to continue beyond its apparent finale, but no,
    Larissa had to leave to become Cobra Commander... erm... *Tommy's* love interest in 3rd Rock From The Sun.

    But perhaps a future Nostalgia Chick review of Alex Mack will suffice instead
    ;)

    I kinda regret that I didn't get in on that catchphrase gig... maybe it's not
    too late... I'll make a suggestion as soon as I think of one as good as some of
    those.
  • lackeyofthecritic  - Really?
    I'm the same with you, except the only girl Irecognized was Marla Sokoloff, or "Cokie", and that's cause I'm a Full
    House fan. :D
  • Shadow_Dinosaur  - Swell
    I enjoyed this review Lindsay! Great job with it! ^^

    P.s Those are some funny catchphrases.
  • BatOtaku13
    another great video as usual.
  • Benjaykun
    Haha this was actually on t'other day. God it was awful... Also the channel
    airing it kept putting apostrophies in the title card, but it kept moving. It
    was odd.

    The film itself was prety... confused. Also if they are actually just a bunch of
    steriotypes how did they get together to form the club in the firstplace.
  • SnapperCarr
    I would've gone with:
    Are you DENSE?
    Are you... RETARDED or something?
    Who the hell do you think I am?
    Etc.

    Although, now that I think about it, it would be more appropriate for Linkara
    anyway.
  • Lucia32  - ......
    But he already has a catchphrase:

    "I AM A MAN!"


    I would have gone with the double x-chromosome one. It just screams GIRL POWER.
  • BabyImplosion
    pretty good. just felt rushed.



    i usually like your work,just felt rushed in this one.



    great potential there, just needs some breathing room and nice build-up and
    timing
