Before I watch, let me guess. Bob loved it.

The issue is the continuing acceptance of sub-par commentary in the name of progressiveness. There are plenty of commentators I dislike (on this site alone, I'm not a huge fan of Jim Sterling), but nobody ever accuses me of having deep-seated hatred for half of the population because of it...

I suppose the outpouring of support and love (and money) for this woman is only fair given what she had to go through just to do something she was passionate about. I... wonder whether she would have been as successful if it wasn't for the jerks. Her stuff tends towards the obvious and...

Yes, correct. Everyone who disagrees with mainstream liberal philosophy as espoused by Hollywood are just disagreeing to be hipsters. There are no valid concerns with that philosophy. (It's actually a lack of a philosophy, but that's a topic for a different place/time).

My brother and I, on seeing the commercials for this: "It looks like it would be awful, but I think we need to give it a chance anyway." Are we psychic? Maybe.

Great video Bob! After the insane greed of the '80s, we had the cultural and personal apathy of the 90s. It's when people first started using the word "ironic" as a lifestyle, 'nough said.

People shouldn't have to apologize for humor, no matter the subject matter. The problem is that this was not humor.

So much love for this episode. Thank you.

As someone who has a hard time with extremist, close-minded thinking, can we please stop pretending it's "gutsy" to attack it? Hollywood is already there. They've been there for like 30 years. Certainly they've always sugar-coated the message with "or, you know, not, if you disagree," so that...

I figure it's probably foolish to get too heavily political on these forums, but could it also have to do with the rehabilitation of Jimmy Carter's image as a president? He's been historically derided as ineffective, but here we have the story of an administration that actually succeeds in...

I've noticed that I have become irritatingly jaded about movies and things. Any sizable plot hole can take me right out of a movie-going experience. I have no problem with a movie full of dragons that can breathe fire, but god forbid they not use that power any time it could save them a plot...

I agree, but a lot of the people I see complaining, and even Jim in this case, seem to think that we should throw a hissy fit, and then the company owes it to us to get its act together. We tell the company what they're doing wrong, and we tell the consuming public what the company is doing...

Right, but that's not my point. My point isn't that people think they are entitled to EA games. My point is that people think they are entitled to luxury products at all. You literally don't have to play video games. You can read a book, or watch television, or board games, or a million...

It's the job of the company to use whatever means is possible to increase its profit margins. It's the job of the consumer to only buy things that are worthwhile to them. When the two meet, the company is going to charge the most it possibly can, and the consumer is going to get the lowest...
