    Good Bad Flicks: Exploring Daredevil

    i dunno. this is one of the few cases where I think the director's cut is really hard to watch, and am glad the studio fucked with it. coolio's acting is painfully bad. without daredevil and elektra sleeping together it feels like more like a g-rated high school crush. it's unnecesary to throw...

    Escapist Podcast - Movies and TV: 024: Just Why Does Interstellar Suck?

    Really didn't feel they got around to explaining what sucked. I thought the movie was a triumph, so hearing some critics hated it is baffling. In this case, i'm not sure why moviebob hated it, because he keeps being vague to avoid spoilers. so it ends up being "it sucked because take my word...

    Who Is Lorelei? A Brief History of (Marvel's) Asgard

    Great Read, thanks for writing. I'm fascinated by the way so many people manage to have different problems with the show. - I was initially hoping the show would try to ground the SHIELD organization (and epic movies) in reality, with commentary on modern government (NSA, guantanamo...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Review - Episode 14: T.A.H.I.T.I.

    I've been enjoying this show from the start. Last night's episode struck me as the weakest in a while. Maybe because it was built up as offering a magical change that some fanboys have been awaiting. While I agree with MovieBob's points, I think the bigger problem is a lack of style and mood...

    Keeping Batman Original

    If they make more games, I hope they do one that is nothing but adversaries who modified Batman's name by one letter. ie., Catman, Fatman, Gatman, Hatman, Matman, Oatman, Ratman, Tatman, Vatman, and Bratman, Botman and Batfan. They could call it Bathouse: Arkman

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Review - Episode 6: F.Z.Z.T.

    man, i'm stunned that so many folks are so positive about Arrow. After some glowing praise from (usually snarky) people on io9, i decided to jump in. Caught up just as the new season started. and had to give it up a couple weeks ago. it's basically just another cliche CW show about pretty...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Review - Episode 6: F.Z.Z.T.

    right on, i was coming in here to babble about this. Call it the "Love Polygon" (in which every character on the show seems to be in love with another). I'd tweak one link in your chain though: I thought the bit where Fitz talks through how Simmons has always been dragging him around...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Review - Episode 5: Girl In The Flower Dress

    It's wild how all over the map the fan reactions are. I've really been enjoying the show. But having just finished Breaking Bad, and switching over to The Walking Dead and American Horror Story, and looking forward to Hannibal's return - i have to admit the show is incredibly cheap and silly...

    Would you support a cure for homosexuality and transexualism?

    To me, this is like asking if I would support a cure for dancing. I don't see dancing as a disease. I don't really dance, but I've got nothing against it. I know quite a few people who seem to love dancing. so no, I wouldn't support a "cure." In fact, I would look askance at the people...

    Why Can't Comedy Games be Funny to Play?

    Since repetition usually kills the humor (and the fun) has there ever been a game that limits your ability to repeat actions? Like, if deadpool just refused to use his Uzis because it's just not funny anymore - it'd force the player to explore other fighting mechanics. ... I remember...

    Real Horror Games Don't Need Co-op

    we should all take it upon ourselves to play co-op deadspace3 with strangers, and try to scare them. "Hey buddy, I'm staring at you while I take my various articles of clothing off." "what?" "what."

    Real Horror Games Don't Need Co-op

    I think the problem is just that the co-op experience is in it's infancy. I look forward to a co-op horror experience designed to emphasize terror isolation and suspense. - design it so that there are times when your co-op buddy will appear as monster (maybe after being poisoned), so you'll...

    Hating Multiplayer Creep

    The introvert is not fully human. Society abhors the introvert because he doesn't contribute to society. it's nothing new. I remember being thunderstruck by this passage near the end of The Hero with a Thousand Faces: (skip to the near-final chapter "The Function of Myth, Cult, and...

    The Big Picture: Batman Revisited, Part 1

    the premise of this video is neat, but there's no meat. (no real insight or criticism into the movie. it all just seems to be context to support the established premise that batman 89 was important). But WHY was Batman'89 so important? I think the key is that Burton dug up the old german...

    Report: Judge Awards Epic $4.45 Million in Silicon Knights Countersuit

    Again, i feel you are modifying the facts. I admit they're confusing. SK is quoted saying two key relevant things at your link, neither of which matches your statement: 1) "Progress on the Silicon Knights? Engine continues to date and, at this time, the Silicon Knights Engine is completely...
