    The Big Picture: Correctitude

    Asking someone not to speak in a certain matter in now way infringes on their free speech. In fact the whole First Amendment of the US Constitution is about the Government being unable to restrict what people say. Says nothing about private citizens and asking someone not to say something gives...

    The Big Picture: Correctitude

    I think the issue (in part) with the people who decry Political Correctness (This is in America mind you) is that they themselves are not part of a minority group or marginalized group themselves so are entirely unaware of what it is like to be on a daily basis reminded that you're 'different'...

    It's Time To Forgive George Lucas

    Allow me to be one of the few to make this statement: I don't like Star Wars. Never have. Still to this day I haven't fully watched the first three movies. I adore sci-fi movies so I'm grateful for all the Lucas has done but I'm still miffed about the abortion of a movie that was the last...

    Escape to the Movies: Clash of the Titans

    I thought they were perhaps Furies. *shrug* I had no idea what was going on with that and Hades has often been caste as the villain in modern re-tellings. He wasn't evil in the myths but because of our society's views on the good evil dynamics he keeps getting the short even of the stick.

    Escape to the Movies: Clash of the Titans

    There were some kick ass amazing characters in this movie who all got swept aside. Even Perseus didn't really feel all that fleshed out. The visuals were amazing an I'd actually suggest NOT seeing it in 3-d. Since there is so little done to it to qualify it as 3-d it actually detracts from the...

    Escape to the Movies: Repo Men

    I guess I'm the only one who didn't like Equilibrium. I couldn't even watch the whole film I just kept laughing at it in between being really bored to tears.

    Zero Punctuation: Final Fantasy XIII

    When I got this game it was my birthday and I was so excited! I threw it in, watched the opening with fascination that quickly turned to boredom then I get to play. I've never played a game that sucked that fast. I'm a huge final fantasy fan, granted I hated the cast of 8 and 9 but I still...

    Escape to the Movies: Special: Bond Girls

    I'll give my take on why I like the new Bond best. Growing up my brother watched the old Bond movies so I got a look at them occasionally and typically just found them to be eye rollingly silly and goofy. Now as an adult woman I find the females in those movies to be offensive... and it has...

    Escape to the Movies: Legion

    I'm so sorry you think that I think Christianity is worse than Islam or any of the other silly religions. Don't worry, I think they're all equally invalid, its just that as an American I get Christ shoved in my face constantly, not Mohammad, thus it making a more logical target. And don't...

    Escape to the Movies: Legion

    Spawn had plenty wrong with it and doubtfully Bob's issues with it had little to do with its (weak) religious under or overtones. You're just yet another religious or religiously sensitive person who can't even accept that some people don't buy into the whole faith thing so you get butt-hurt...

    Escape to the Movies: Legion

    I actually saw this movie a few days ago. Normally I like bad movies, and goodness have I seen my share of them. This movie... was... mostly just boring. There was way too much talking and for all the dialog being thrown at us the vast majority of it was pointless babble. This movie did nothing...

    Escape to the Movies: Book of Eli

    I'm shocked just shocked that people got upset over his panning of the religious overtones of this movie!!! Actually... not at all. Heck people go into a frothing mess over Twilight so getting pissy about religion is to be expected. Now a lot of the people who have complained about him...

    Escape to the Movies: Drag Me To Hell

    I really didn't enjoy this movie. The fact that the violins screamed at you and warned you well in advance for anything thing startling took all the bite out of any possible scares. It tried to be funny and fell flat. I'm really shocked at how many people are cooing over this flick. I liked...

    Games that hit you emotionally

    Here is a game not often mentioned: Phantasy Star 4. Amazing game. I cried when the female lead died. Frankly I think that took some of the shock away from seeing Arith die in Final Fantasy 7. Sure back then it was damn near unheard of for a lead character to die but Phantasy Star 4 did it...

    Girl Gamer's Opinion

    This thread is pretty silly but I still feel the need to make a few points. Yes I am a female gamer. Been playing since the Atari. I play everything from First Person Shooters to RPGs. For a two year period I worked at Gamestop and am still an active gamer. There has never been a point in my...
