21. Money I'm a cinema major who's on his last year in undergrad studies. I can get a BA next year, which is what I want to do because I hate being in San Francisco and broke. Or, almost broke.

This show's problem is a lack of ambition. Not ambition in tying to the Marvel universe, but ambition in pure cinematic terms: pedestrian cinematography, lack of characterization, and repeated situations, i.e. two characters talk, then actio scene, then exposition, then awkward emotion. It's not...

Never played Dark Souls, but this was one of the funniest reviews he's ever done. Very descriptive, too, with his humor. This is what makes him so good at his job; his comedy is his critique. And when he's on, which is usually, it's clear enough to be funny and insightful. "stand-up gig at...

So what was with the Critical Miss shoutout?

I'm a 49ers fan, so I'm rooting for the Broncos something fierce for obvious reasons, but I do think they have the upper hand. Mainly because of experience. Last year, the Niners were the new hotness but they lost due to inexperience. Russell Wilson may become a great quarterback, but Peyton...

Side Effects and hell yes I enjoyed. A really good, clever, unpredictable Steven Soderbergh film from earlier this year. Check it out. Edit: Actually, I just saw The World's End. Also excellent. I'm gonna leave Side Effects there to get it some more eyes.

There's a reason that there are meaningful differences between "superheroes" and "supervillains." The heroes aren't just wish-fulfillment, they are meant to be paragons that we can aspire to, morally. They have powers that could level cities, but instead use them to protect us because they were...

That would not be a constructive way to utilize Twitter.

The part where you say "it's a slap in the face." As if trying to inject a franchise with some life and creativity is a "slap in the face" to fans is ridiculous. You know what the alternative is? Let the franchise die. Then, everybody would be like "make me a classic-style Tomb Raider game."...

Why do fans have to take every change on their favorite well-trodden, overdone series as personal attacks? Do you really think the world revolves around you? Seems like they wanted to add some depth. Seems like you could keep an open mind.

Live Free or Die Hard is awesome. I don't give a FUCK what anyone says.

I saw New Hope when I was about 12 or 13. After Revenge of the Sith came out. And you know what? I was so damn bored. Every time I watch it, I ask myself "what the fuck do people like about this movie?" It's an incredibly standard "hero's journey," it's a predictable story, it's got bad acting...

There are, like, 7 difficulty settings. I was...amazed.

Well, he's not a fanboy, so he can give a game a chance and play it, instead of advocate censorship. Also, to everybody who liked the previous games: didn't Dante cuss like a sailor and act like a douchebag, too? This seems very faithful to that.

And ruled home video purchases for months. The fan base for Firefly is (let's be honest) mostly nerds who don't go to movie theaters. A game might sell well.
