I'd recommend checking out some of the Let's Play video series available on YouTube and elsewhere, too. These tend to be both entertaining and informative. I've listed a couple of good ones below. davidr64yt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bh4EexJO4I mastatsan...

I was pretty impressed by this trailer, although Ryan Reynolds lousy acting is still the weak point in my opinion.

As a few people have said, the studio completely missed the point of what was crap about the trailer. It was Ryan Reynolds shitty acting and poor characterization that ruined it, along with the indication of a lightweight storyline - not the effects. Personally, I think Ryan Reynolds is...

My take on this is that, if you have to ask on a forum if you should dump your girlfriend then she should probably be dumping you.

Yes people, it's all a joke. A pretty lame one too. http://improveverywhere.com/2011/04/01/jar-jar-subway-car-april-fools-2/

From what I can recall of nudity in movies and TV back in the 80's, 90's, and earlier, it was all pretty gratuitous, and was often used to mask a movie's short-comings. What happened was simply that the movie-going public got tired of movie makers catering to the lowest common denominator and...

I'm inclined to give the show the thumbs-up based purely on how cute and sexy the actress looks in that costume. The "slightly goofy comedy-drama ... packed with Girl Power pop-songs" bit makes me think that I'll end up giving it the thumbs-down, though.

Isn't 'Dove Men' a contradiction in terms? :-P

This is a pretty thin premise to build a story around. The Escapist really needs to lift its game.

I haven't watched the comedian's videos, but as it's described in the story this whole situation brings to mind the idiots who beg in MMO lobbies.

I've watched a couple of episodes, and found the show to be more annoying than entertaining. Perhaps it gets better in later episodes. And what the hell is it with the edit box on this site. In the Opera browser, I can't drag to select text without it mucking things up.

Currently I'm reading 'The Return of Nathan Brazil - Volume 4 of The Saga of the Well World' by Jack L. Chalker. If you haven't checked out the Well World series yet, well what the hell is wrong with you? Go read it now.

Well, I've had a few 12 hour plus gaming sessions and have yet to suffer a fatal case of death as a result. So basically this is a case where some guy died while he was playing a game. Given the number of people playing games in the world at any given time, this is going to happen. I'm...

Shouldn't that female Nazgul's cloak have been pink? I'm just saying.

As far as the black actor playing the Norse god goes, personally I think that there's enough artistic license available within the comic book lore to get away with it, and the actor looks good in the role. His armor looks a little cheesy, though. A white actor playing an African deity would...
