Haven't regretted reading many books actually. There's a lot of books I've actively disliked as I was reading it, but at the same time, I love to read. Just the action of my eyes rolling over words and comprehending characters and plots and imagery (whether they be good or bad) relaxes me. So...

In agreement with what has been said so far. I enjoyed The Avengers, but I don't see it getting a Best Picture nod. It's too early to tell for one: lots of time for better movies to come out. And had it not been for the banter between the characters, the movie would have just been so-so. If the...

I believe the reason why Hollywood wants to remake Snow White so badly is because out of all the Disney Princesses, she's the one from which an alternate character can be developed (whatever that may be) since she has no real character in her original form. Snow White spends the majority of her...

I enjoy sex, and I used to enjoy it quite often a few years ago. But then I made the personal choice to not be intimate with someone unless I actually liked them, and they liked me. Sex for sex's sake stopped being fun to me -- little things that you can ignore with someone you care about are...

There's so many to love, for so many different reasons. I couldn't narrow it down to one, but a few top choices are: Cyndaquil and its evolutions, because that was my very first starter (my first Pokemon game was Crystal version) and I loved every moment spent with it; Pidgeot, because its...

I don't know if anyone pointed this out, and I suppose it was nothing more than an innocent mistaken, but Bob's choice of flags to represent "Hispanic and Latino" cultures had a few misnomers, i.e. the Jamaican flag. Jamaica has no Hispanic, Latino or Spanish ties. There may have been others (I...

I suppose because Bob enjoys the previous material by these guys, plus his little plug at the fact that he's angry at the treatment of The Lorax (but really, The Lorax supporting SUVs? Irony??), is why he ended up delivering a review of this particular movie. Not to mention, I don't know what is...

I cannot wait to see this movie. I haven't wanted to see a movie this bad since Warrior came out, back in SEPTEMBER. Trailers look cool. The honesty is worthy of praise (the fact that when teenagers get super powers, they don't automatically decide to save the world, but instead decide to dick...

It's possible to be a good actress and give a great performance in an otherwise terrible movie. If this movie was made solely for Streep to show off her chops and get an Oscar nom, and the probably win, then more power to it. In fact, I hope it works out in Streep's favor. Then again, I'm in...

I've read the books, and no ... there is no justification at all for splitting them. That last book is undoubtedly the worst in the series. Not just because they got progressively worse as they went on, but because NOTHING HAPPENS in the last book. Oh yeah, there's some of the stuff you've...

Happy Birthday PS3! I got mine about a year after release (while $500 was a hard sell on my dad, some how $399 made more sense ... but I'm not mad! =P) and I've loved it ever since. I've owned every generation of Playstation, and I have never been disappointed with any system. Even with the...

Huzzah! An opportunity to link one of my favorite videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPBmo9BhEVM This is probably the most accurate list of "annoying things in video games". Even if you don't agree with where they're placed, you can't actually deny them! They are so true! Just to...

"I think we're safe now" or "I think it's gone/passed/etc" Once you acknowledge having survived, you've pretty much signed your death certificate. Probably in some instant-kill or fast cut-to-black scene. Worst part about this is the person who makes this announcement has probably killed...

Playing Pokemon Silver. Goldenrod City Gym. Whitney and her Miltank. Easily she's one of the cheapest bosses ever created in the Pokemon series. I burned through several batteries trying to defeat her, and then she has the nerve to cry and NOT give me the badge right away. Fuuuuuuuuuu--!

Handheld Pokemon games. Or maybe the PokeUniverse on a whole (is that the acutal term?). I've owned at least one handheld for each generation of Pokemon handheld games, save for the latest Black and White. And I only didn't get them because I've had enough. For every new game, it's only minimal...
