    Escape to the Movies: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Kids Deserved Better Than This

    Hm. Where was this outrage for the lazy, cliché, plot-hole-riddled, bland, generic Guardians of the Galaxy? It's weird Mr. Chipman liked Guardians so much considering how much he seems to have positively hated this movie. --Morology!

    8 Science Fiction Books You Should Have Read By Now

    Foundation? Ender's Game? War of the Worlds? Neuromancer? Is Animal Farm actually sci-fi? --Morology!

    Human Spaceflight: No Single Rationale Justifies it, NRC Report

    Manned space -exploration- right now is pure lunacy. There's nowhere to go that could support us. Okay, fine, nowhere we know about right now. But you don't just go out into the hostile limitless void of space and hope you find somewhere you won't die immediately as soon as you open your...

    EVE Online, Monocles and Microtransactions: Who Really Wrote CEO's Apology?

    Point 1:) Just because something happens all the time, that doesn't make it okay. This CEO guy wanted people to think he was taking responsibility and issuing a heartfelt personal apology, yet he had someone else do the hard part for him. That ain't classy. You don't make other people...

    Marvel's Time Runs Out Event Teases Possible Universal Reboot

    Reboots are hot stuff in the entertainment industry right now, so it's not out of the question. Plus, Marvel has too much continuity for ALL of it to be expected to count. Heck, maybe this event will solve that last problem. Retroactively split the various threads of Marvel's vast...

    Sunset Overdrive Gets First Gameplay Trailer

    It feels very similar to Saint's Row 4. The pseudo-free-running looks very slow and kind of boring. My takeaway impression is "third-person on-rails shooter." --Morology! PS: The narration is trying too hard. It makes the tone sound forced and insincere.

    Power Rangers To Be Rebooted in Live-Action Film from Lionsgate

    Dear Entertainment Media: Please make us some new things. We promise we like new things, even though we also like old things. Honestly, we prefer new things. New things are awesome. --Morology!

    Star Wars: Episode VII Title Leaked

    Would that be a bad title? No. Just very bland. But that's corporate moviemaking for you. Also, this conversation: "Hey, you got your tickets for 'The Ancient Fear'?" "What the hell is that?" "The new Star Wars movie. Duh!" "Well why didn't you just say so, asshole? You're...

    Dungeons & Dragons Next Shows Off Personality Generation

    This feels like filler padding out page count without overinflating word count. I'd hate to think that a player would have to pay money for charts like this (especially if there's one for every class... and race... and then random ones later that are culture specific...). Considering these...

    The Show You Should Be Watching: Rick & Morty

    My three favorite moments of the show: The end of the first episode. Delirious, hilarious. The bit Mr. Chipman describes in Meeseeks & Destroy when Rick's eyes narrow and you know he just figured everything out. When strung-out, famous Jerry shows up at the house after the ridiculous...

    CCP Games Cancels World of Darkness MMO

    My prediction for the future: Whoever now owns the rights to the World of Darkness properties and Exalted and the Trinity universe (probably CCP itself) will shop said rights around trying to find smaller, hungrier development houses to build a moody, atmospheric single-player game that's...

    Titanfall Drops to $45, Season Pass is 20% Off

    Okay, this is just a straight-up ad. What the heck, guys? All pretense of journalism dropping?

    Chewbacca Actor Peter Mayhew Returns For Star Wars Episode VII

    That's what they were to begin with. Published, paid-for, media tie-in fan fiction--some of it quite good. The real Star Wars story, however, ended with Return of the Jedi and started with The Phantom Menace. --Morology!

    Warner Bros. Poised to Announce New DC Superhero Films

    Random Thoughts: Does anybody at The Escapist like Arrow? What kind of an alleged news story is this? "A guy at Warner Brothers wants to make an announcement about some DC superhero movies. We don't know when. Maybe soon." Is that how DC's superheroes actually look now? Are the guys...

    Scarlett Johansson Wants Black Widow in a Title Role

    She hasn't gotten her own movie yet, I'd think, because she's a supporting character who leaves no lasting impression once she's off the screen. A character that shallow shines in a supporting role but wilts in the solo spotlight. Okay, I might have mixed my metaphors a little there, but you...
