Ah, great. I completely agree with you on your assessment of Aronofsky and I can totally see why you would find the movie slow if it didn't grip. All his movies needs, more so than other movies, to really grip you to become great. When talking to people about his movies I always seem to get one...

So I've been watching Arrow over the past year and I've enjoyed it mildly. It has some good action scenes, a few interesting characters and plot points, very variable acting and some horrible acting. That's how I feel about it. But I've read a lot of reviews, and all of them seem to be all...

I think it's an observation that holds water in many situations, but obviously nothing that is all-encompassing. (And not a statement that deserves the kind of aggressive and abrasive response DementedSheep was jumping to) However, I would argue that the first part of it is less true than the...

I think you are coming at this from the wrong perspective. Yes, human on human warfare has always yielded losses on both sides, but an alien race attacking humans is not the same as human on human warfare. If the imagined alien race is exceptionally smarter than the human race, they can be able...

In my mind there are no inherently bad approaches to insane and/or ludicrous settings. It can work if you take it very very seriously (Nolan's Batman) or you can go the completely different path of having fun with how stupid your original premise is (Not sure about any good examples, perhaps...

5 Centimeters Per Second - Remove the montage and extend the last segment a further 5 minutes. Keep the non-ending, but flesh out the individual parts of the last episode and let them breath. This is the End - More Emma Watson. Man of Steel - Show Superman helping rebuild Metropolis. Make...

Disturbing was a poor choice of words. I have nothing against fetishes. I just thought that bestiality and some forms of violent pornography might be disturbing for young minds to watch. Never meant to make it sound like I was condemning any form of consensual sex among adults.

I love much the same books as you, so I might have a few suggestions. Joining the chorus on Rothfuss: Great writing that flows of the page, but has some pacing problems. If you get sucked into the writing the pages will fly by and you will be completely engrossed in the story. After finishing...

Read an interesting article on porn and teenagers that made want to hear your thoughts on it. Link While I agree that the availability of pornography to teens - especially very violent and extreme pornography - is a problem that needs addressing, I'm not sure I agree with the problem...

HANNIBAL - You would think the story about Hannibal Lecter on a TV-show would be trite and horrible, but Hannibal is anything but. It is arguably the most visually stunning show on television (Perhaps tied with Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones) and it has very talented actors in Hugh Dancy...

I play HoN and I've got to say I think giving players the option to queue up in a mode called Gentleman's Club or something where calling another play noob, retard or flaming in general will get you banned for a short period would be a great boon for all players. That way the people who...

Malazan Book of The Fallen by Steven Erikson The Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss The First Law Series + Heroes by Joe Abercrombie The Mistborn Trilogy + The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson All of these are newer fantasy (after 2000) which tries to move away from Tolkienesque...

Wow, you must be fun at parties. How very grand that you are not a slave to your libido like us other lower life forms which swarms around your golden mind. Anywho, I would definitely do it and my pick would be Emma Watson and hopefully I would be kind and nice enough in this very strange...
