    Are games really killing movies?

    The most recent extra punctuation mentions this and i think that a Big Picture episode may have brought it up as well: Are games a large, threatening detractor to the movie industry? I'm under the impression that the main threat is people accessing the material online, legally or illegally...

    Osama Bin Laden Celebrations labelled "Disguisting"

    What exactly is the difference between terrorists and "terrorists"? And what acts of terrorism do you think the Americans in the revolutionary war committed? To be honest, I think that you're implying some stuff that is pretty hard to back up, historically.

    Osama Bin Laden Celebrations labelled "Disguisting"

    I don't agree with the characterization of two steps forward one step back. Even if the celebrations are offensive (something I don't believe), from the news footage I saw of it last night, they looked pretty small scale. I think they're a blip on the radar compared to the overall achievement of...

    First game you can remember playing

    Not counting preloaded pc games, my first was mike tysons punchout for nes or super nes (can't remember, that's how long ago it was) . I was horrible at it and the guy who owned it had to beat all the levels except the first one for me. Played it for maybe 30 minutes. Haven't played it since.

    If you could fill a swimming pool with anything but water...

    Milkshakes or ladies. But never, ever both.

    The Big Picture: Maddening

    I have to disagree with your arguments about the merits of hunting. I think native populations of animals, if left alone tend to take care of themselves, either through predation or through scarcity of resources and hunting to control the population is by no means the most effective way of...

    The Big Picture: Maddening

    Are you seriously comparing dog fighting to hunting and fishing? When you hunt or fish, you are required to prepare, and wait for extended periods of time. It takes patience, knowledge and skill. Also, both activities are heavily regulated by the government. Hunters are required to have a...

    The Big Picture: Maddening

    So if Michael Vick was conscientious and humane and didn't torture dogs in addition to running a dog-fighting ring, and treated injured dogs like they treat horses that break their legs or something, his actions would be defensible? I get what you're saying but I still think that with hunting...

    The Big Picture: Maddening

    Michael Vick tortured and killed animals for sport. Movie Bob owns a hunting and fishing license. There's a difference between eating meat and going out and killing animals for fun. I'm not saying hunting is the worst thing ever, I just don't get out how you can condemn dog-fighting but support...

    Spoil me! (spoiler alert)

    Please tell me you're correcting him sarcastically.

    Poll: Who pays on a date?

    The guy should offer to pay or just grab the check when it comes, but if the girl wants to pay for half or what she ate then he should respect her wishes and let her. I don't think it's sexist to assume as the guy that you'll pay, but it is sexist to refuse to allow her to pay if she really...

    Stupidest thing to ever be banned?

    Yeah, I was using fascist in the colloquial "government doing bad stuff sense." Not technically historically accurate. Oppressive or police state would have been a better word. I think the point is still valid. It is not surprising or "stupid" that China would ban an in-game reference to Tibet.
