    Escape to the Movies: The Eagle

    I can't believe, Bob, that you (or anyone else here for that matter) don't mention that this is an adaptation of Rosemary Sutcliff's 'The Eagle of the Ninth', one of the most acclaimed and read children's novels of the last hundred years. With little to say about the film itself, you could've...

    Which animé has the catchiest theme tune?

    I'm cheating, but Powerglove's version of the Pokemon theme is fucking PEERLESS.

    Escape to the Movies: Four Lions

    Finally, a film I was able to see months before the rest of the world! It's not the best thing Chris Morris has made - On The Hour, The Day Today and Brass Eye are peerless and Nathan Barley (co-written with Yahtzee's main inspiration, Charlie Brooker) is better - but that's not saying much at...

    Zero Punctuation: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

    "...the bar has been set lower than Satan's wine-cellar." One of your best lines in ages, Yahtzee.

    Most Awkward Moment?

    Her Mum, who I'm pretty sure knew what was going on and just interrupted for a laugh, said something brief and left as quickly as she entered. My then-gf cried 'cause she thought she was going to get into trouble. I was just mortfied and tried my best to reassure her that it'd be ok. Nothing...

    Being Asexual In A Sexual Society

    I don't think you are asexual. I think it's incorrect to consider sleeping with someone - that is, penetrative sex - the primary criterion of a "sexual relationship" since there's 'less' you can do that still falls well within the purview of sexuality. I'm not sure why the Cambridge definition...

    Best sayings ever.

    Shakespeare didn't write either. "Veni, vidi, vici", while not appearing in any of Caesar's writings, is attested by the Roman historians Suetonius and Plutarch. "Et tu, Brute?" appears in Richard Eedes' play Caesar Interfectus, which was writen about fifteen years before Shakespeare's Julius...

    What brought you to the Escapist?

    A friend showed me a ZP. I'm not sure which one, but I remember thinking "OK, so he's trying to be Charlie Brooker." Now I realise that he does have his own style. Months later I checked him out again myself and Dante's Inferno is the first ZP I remember. One of the best as well, along with...
