I also questioned the legality in great detail earlier in this forum debate.

Actually.......... According to their first statement, "Nothing ruins a good LAN party like uncomfortable guests or lots of tension, both of which can result from mixing immature, misogynistic male-gamers with female counterparts. Though we?ve done our best to avoid these situations in years...

My favorite part of the movie was Peggy Carter. You just don't see female characters like that coming out of Hollywood very often anymore.

I agree with you for the most part, though I think Snyder shows himself to be a better visual director than he is a writer. The writing and the "characters" (definitely not enough dimensions to warrant the title) are the weakest links in the movie. The way the story is framed, leading to the...

Tamora Pierce (Fantasy) Michael Crichton (Fiction) Joan Didion (Nonfiction) ...and comedy writing. I love a good funny.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not disappointed in the slightest. But my whole perspective's been from seeing the trailers, and my argument over the last week or so has been that some things may appear to be female-empowerment-slanted, when they're actually not. If the movie's a slap in the face, then...

Urgh...I feel like I just lost the raging debate I've been having with my friends over whether or not this was a male fetish movie.

I'm glad someone finally mentioned controller design. Though not unexpected, I'm a little disappointed it didn't really get mentioned between the Big 3. However, I'm going to disagree with you, Daveman. The controller design, particularly for the 360 is not pretty damn awesome, or user...

Look. I'm glad that you're all for marriage and all, but honestly, when are any of these statistics you're attempting to wield even used by Hollywood? No one here is directly arguing against marriage as an institution, where your case of tl;dr is a better, relevant counter-argument...

I just watched this, and I have to say I am/was in the process of writing a paper on this very topic, except from the perspective of growing up a girl geek. The topic's "childhood" (broad spectrum writing course with undergrad and grad students) and I was going to discuss my experiences...

I agree. OP ought to specify the area of composition before they enrage (as in: really PO's) anyone who actually studies music. Besides, John Williams is notorious in the music community for blatantly ripping off other composers. His tunes are catchy, but he's better known for barely...

You see this attitude in a lot of areas, though. It's one of my biggest frustrations with being an English major, particularly the creative writing courses. I can't even get a proper evaluation of my work unless I play their game, and everything I've learned in school about writing has been...

I've been meaning to come back to this now that I finished another level of "creative" writing, and poised to begin what will be my last. One of my stories was a blatant satire focusing on people you see around a college campus, based loosely on the General Prologue of The Canterbury Tales...

Ooh, someone's heard of that show too!! I caught it on the other night, and I've since dubbed it the first trashy-reality-tv I'll actually watch. Spoiled, rich girls getting taken down a peg the tv show...worth the guilt.

I actually was engaged in a conversation about this topic (while waiting for the midnight showing of The Green Hornet) from a different angle. The problem comes down to money. Nowadays videogames (and movies) have massive, massive budgets that need to be balanced on the other end. It...
