    Escape to the Movies: The Raid 2 - Brutally Intense, Action-Filled, And Very Good

    I won tickets to an advance screening of this and boy was it brutal. There is a LOT of blood and broken limbs in this. Bob didn't mention it but to break up the martial arts, there's a hell of a car chase two thirds of the way through as well. Oh, and if you thought Hammer Girl and Baseball...

    What's the most expensive thing you've bought?

    A Kawai ES6 Digital Piano - I'm a muso. Set me back $2200 Australian back in 2010. Probably quite a bit cheaper now.

    The Big Picture: The King of Meh-Sters?

    Good video Bob, I seriously hope this Godzilla movie works out. Minor thing: 'Heisei' is pronounced "Hey-say"

    So a black actor is considering role of Johnny Storm and nerdrage has turned racist again.

    I don't mind Johnny being black, so long as he does a good job. The only thing he really has to do is be an arrogant show-off, and you can find those in any race. The Sam Jackson-Nick Fury example people keep using in defence of the race-change is however a bit of a different case. People at...

    Recommend Me a Bad Anime

    Kill Me Baby. I loved Nichijou, Ordinary Lives of Highschool Boys, Seitokai Yakuindomo and plenty of other sketch comedy/slice of life shows, but Kill Me Baby almost never makes me laugh. The opening theme song alone is painful to listen to, the animation is very poor, and the punchlines are all...

    Have you ever loved a series/francise so much that you DIDN'T want to see it continue?

    Personally, I think One Piece has gone on long enough. In fact, I think the CP9 saga, especially Enies Lobby, was the peak of the series for both action character moments. I think they could have rescued Robin, sailed off into the sunset, now enemies of the World Government "And the adventure...

    Say One Thing About The Country You Live In

    Australia: It's fucking hot. and if it's not fucking hot, it's fucking hot and fucking wet. Also, "And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" can make even non-Australians cry.

    Can you defend yourself?

    I know some karate and aikido but I'm a little out of practice. I would never carry a weapon but I do have a butterfly-knife-styled bottle opener. I got a guy to stand down by flicking it around quick enough that in the dark he couldn't tell it wasn't a knife.

    What is your state's/country's embarrassing stereotype?

    Australian here. Often Aussies get called racist by folks from other countries. While that may be true for many of the bogans, Australia is massively multicultural, in fact we have one of the highest ethnic intermarriage rates in the world. Multiculturalism is one of the things I'm most proud of...

    Other people's opinions you just can't accept! Everybody gets one!

    Over-the-top vegans who hate meat-eaters. I have no problem with people being vegan, one of my best friends is, that's their choice. But if you call someone a monster because they like a steak, that's going too far. I saw this stupid chick walking around campus recently with a petition to shut...

    Films that you regret watching

    Seven Pounds. Awful. Pursuit of Happyness was an example of Will Smith at his best. Seven Pounds was Will Smith at his Oscar-baitest. At the end of the movie, he kills himself so his organs can be donated to seven people with shit lives as penance for the seven lives lost in a car accident he...

    Poll: Are you finished with Bioware now?

    Yes. I finished ME3 before I started seeing the internet backlash. I think it's insane. You have the right to complain about the ending. I get that. And I get that lots of people wanted their rainbows and unicorns happy ending. I kinda did too. But one of the driving themes throughout ME3 is...

    Damn Whale wars....

    Mate, I live in a town not far from Warrnambool in western victoria. the whales that show up every year are Southern Right whales, which are not hunted by the Japanese. So that point isn't really valid to me. The only way this stupid whale war ends is when someone on either side gets killed...

    A question to the grown adult men of the Escapist

    I have had very drunk girls proposition me on two occasions. Both times I declined as I was sober at one time and only had a couple of drinks at the other. I was simply raised to always be respectful to women. Some of my friends give me crap about this because I'm a 20-year-old virgin who has...

    The protagonist in the last game you played is hunting you.

    Been playing Eternal Sonata. I think I could take Chopin in a fight, in this world he can't use magic. I'd just ask for a piano lesson instead.
