    Your favourite Joke Weapon in a video game

    Movies you found were incredibly hard to watch

    City Of Life And Death was a bit rapey seeing as it was about Japanese war crimes in WW2 China. But it was interesting to see if a film could soberly, maturely deal with a touchy subject when the two countries are now trade equals. It did.

    Your superhero name

    I find everyone's usernames in this thread better than their suggestions. Im Mr. Mantastic because I once did a comedy routine with that as a character of a deluded kid vigilante in a figure-hugging child's speedskating leotard with Pepsi's sponsor logo on the front.
