    Rumor: Sony Japan May Force Studio to Relinquish Spider-Man Control

    This is pretty sad, Bob. I read the Latino-Review article this morning. You're not even reporting on a rumor. You're reporting on another site's opinion/fantasy based on the leaked Sony e-mails. As far as I can tell, there's nothing to indicate that Sony Japan is considering anything like this...

    What's your favorite insignificant topic?

    Neat! You know, I recall seeing a Bill Burr bit from Conan recently about football: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWhZ2XS08aQ Since you're a big sports guy, I'm curious about your thoughts on Burr's comments about women trying to infiltrate and ruin the NFL. I think that's still safe...

    What's your favorite insignificant topic?

    Something that you care about but nobody else does. Something that will never change the world but which you obsess about regardless. Something that nobody else has any interest in but you spend way too much time on. After all, this is the Escapist! Also, there are probably two big ones that...

    Movie Defense Force: Texas Chainsaw Massacre - A Remake Better Than The Original

    Please, please, please, please do an MDF on Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4 at some point. I've always believed it was, faint praise, the best of the sequels. It's got a dirty-style Lynchian vibe to it that feels more like diving into true madness than the rest of them.

    And Now For Some Truth

    If you seriously believe that, then the people in GamerGate that are harassing others are justified in their actions. That belief of yours justifies every wrong thing that GamerGate has done, because they are victims too. To quote Ghandi again, an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind...

    And Now For Some Truth

    ... I seriously tried to read every word of what you just typed and it's a complete mess. The few bits that I could recognize as actual sentences were clearly arguments from a total lack of reading comprehension. You seem to be trying to argue for some kind of logical fallacy but you actually...

    And Now For Some Truth

    I've had this conversation many times in my life. And every time I've come up with the same answer: being a victim affords you the right to retaliation. You may not believe that but it's what I believe. That's not some "side" talking. That's not blind rage. That's my earnest belief after having...

    And Now For Some Truth

    Sorry, I'll explain. Latino-review is a scoop site. Their major beat is rumors, essentially. Whenever you hear something like "Benedict Cumberbatch in talks to play Dr. Strange!" or "Planet Hulk to be next Marvel film?" there's a very good chance that it came directly from them before making the...

    And Now For Some Truth

    I believe that it's critically important who fired the first shot. Or shots, in this case. It's not important to ending the discussion but it's very important to having the discussion. And especially going over the morality of it. You believe that nobody deserves that kind of harassment...

    And Now For Some Truth

    It's interesting to me that multiple GamerGate people have linked me to that same site today. Especially when it's for the Association of Food Journalists of all things.I guess you people have been sharing links. I remember reading a story about how a collection of critics were up in arms...

    My "lack of intelligence". "Firth". You are a brilliant comedic mind.

    And Now For Some Truth

    This is the other thing that weirds me out. Because I think you've already got that. Yes, publishers frequently attempt to bribe reviewers or lock them into contracts that all but guarantee a good review. But film critics go to private screenings and attend Hollywood parties and often receive...

    And Now For Some Truth

    Your, um, English is a little rough but I think I've got the gist of what you're getting at. I suppose I'll try to add a little context and explain myself again as a courtesy. Your reading comprehension leaves much to be desired but I still think we can bridge that gap if you give it a little...
