I think you just might have given that a little bit too much thought. I deeply doubt that Harlod Ramis and Dan Aykroyd thought about any of this when they wrote the script of Ghostbusters.

Sure, the Academy does look favorably upon some genres and settings more than others, but your accusations are poorly founded against The King's Speech. Need I remind you that simply because a film has things the Academy likes does not mean that it's trying its best to walk away with the Oscar...

Now I'm a total metalhead, but I think Amon Amarth is an incredibly talented band. Swedish Viking Melodic Death Metal anyone? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQVrl7wRcNg

The Newsroom format it interesting, and it pays off. I enjoy it for one. I'm glad someone spoke about the Dead Space 2 ad campaign. Honestly, it feels cheap and shallow. Sure, it's an advertisement, but it's trying to sell an incredibly graphic and violent game to 13 year olds via shock...

Yeah, I'll probably go watch it. I mean, shoot, I thought that the G.I. Joe movie was going to be TERRIBLE but it actually wasn't too bad. I just hope that, if the movie is made, it's done tastefully (read: not done by Micheal Bay or another action movie hack)

Hear hear! Way to take all the unquantifiable mysticism of the force and destroy it in a single line of exposition. Midichlorians do not deepen the plot of Star Wars so much as they reduce it into something with less depth.

Mario's gotta be up there, I mean, he is the Italian Plumber after all. Reznov is cool, and an actually interesting character in the sea of generic soldiers (I mean come on guys... take a hint from Band of Brothers or Saving Private Ryan and characterize your action heroes!) Though I gotta...

I'm gonna have to agree with you 100% man. Look at the Wii. There are some absolutely stellar "hardcore," games. Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3, No More Heroes (I was a fan!), and the new Donkey Kong game looks awesome. That being said, they make up such a small percentage of the actual...

I actually thought the ad was kinda fitting. Was is Call of Duty if not juvenile wish fulfillment to be a soldier? Games take any fat, overweight, slob and turn him into a Marine or a Ranger. That's pretty appealing, even if the illusion is only temporary. I have a great deal of respect for...

Dude... for a show called "The Big Picture," you kinda just missed the big picture. The Covenant aren't the almost embarrassingly multi-cultural and racial crew of the Enterprise... they're a bunch of religious Zealots who use slavery to kill millions for their cause. Honestly, it felt like...

Well for one, he's funny. Humor alone can make you appreciate someone's weekly 5 minute show. But why we really LIKE him? Because he's a consistent asshole. He points out things we often ignore or gloss over in games. His persona reminds me of the Jester archetype from Shakespeare: he's a...

In terms of technology, I'm gonna say yeah, it's pretty innovative. The whole "track different parts of the body," is pretty advanced, considering it requires no controler to track motions. That being said, in terms of ideas and creativity, I'm gonna say hell no. The guys who run Microsoft...

Well said. Sure, a campaign can last for 5 hours, but what if those 5 hours were spent playing an enjoyable and well made campaign that has plenty of replay value?
