    Escape to the Movies: Devil

    Not that I'm doubting that this movie sucks, but I'm beginning to develop clairvoyant abilities not unlike Yahtzee's over at Zero Punctuation: Moviebob didn't like a movie with religious undertones? GASP WHAT A SHOCK. For someone who derides movies for being predictable, he's getting...

    Muslim Should Not Equal Villain

    Aren't we forgetting the most common of all the common villain stereotypes? The rich white man. Not only does the rich white man show up as the villain in movies, he's also the most common villain tv shows, comics, video games, and Archie cartoon strips. More often than not, the extend of the...

    Why Do So Many People Hate the Police?

    In my opinion, it's because most people's experience with "the police" involves minor traffic violation citations, rather than genuine "protecting the peace." For every person saved by a cop, there's a thousand people who have to jam their brakes because a cop is shooting radar their way...

    Escape to the Movies: The Expendables

    What I would like to see (and I'm not posting this in any kind of intentionally inflammatory way here) is an unironic Michael Cera action film. I'm not talking about an action film where skinny Michael Cera plays Michael Cera and CGI plays the part of "the action." I mean, I would like to...

    Americans are stupid, fat, and impolite...I don't get it.

    Are any stereotypes true? I mean, 100% of the time? I can say things like "All people with black hair are illiterate." And it's right part of the time.

    Escape to the Movies: The Expendables

    So just because it's a professional review, it doesn't have to be professional? It's either one or the other. Unless he's totally invalidating his own opinion, and we're just supposed to watch these reviews for the humor, and totally ignore anything else he has to say. I mean, sure he can...

    Escape to the Movies: The Expendables

    Nicely done. Added to the lexicon.

    Escape to the Movies: The Expendables

    My main gripe about this MovieBob video wasn't that he didn't like the Expendables, or even that he's inconsistent in terms of which action he likes and which action he doesn't. If someone likes one action movie and doesn't like another, that doesn't necessarily make him a hypocrite, it just...

    Escape to the Movies: The Expendables

    Come on, you guys didn't know? When presented with a movie like the Expendables, a movie critic HAS to write a scathing review about how much it sucked. It's in the contract. So Bob, I can forgive your crappy review. The movie had its flaws, none of which you really pointed out (except...

    Poll: Excuse me, waiter there appears to be politics in my sci-fi

    In my humble opinion, you should have to look for the messages (if any) embedded between the lines (or, within the subtext) of science fiction in order to "get the message" (assuming there is one). Writers that start off with an agenda are usually, for lack of a better word, shitty. And these...
