    The movie that made you cry the hardest

    I have to go with 'Big Fish' at the end when Edward Bloom asks his son to tell a tall tale. It didn't do well at the box office and that's too bad. I rate this as Tim Burton's best movie.

    How is Fox News still going?

    It's more than that. It's that Fox tells people what they're absolutely convinced that they already know. The most telling point in the 2008 Presidential campaign was towards the end, when there was a series of anti-Obama attack ads and they all ended with the same words: Just Like You...

    American Versions of English Shows

    All in the Family was adapted from 'Til Death Do Us Part'. Three's Company was adapted from 'Man About the House'. Cosby (not The Cosby Show) was adapted from 'One Foot in the Grave'. We've a pretty long history of ripping off British shows. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

    You have the power to bring back one cancelled TV show...

    Okay, I'll set to the side a rant about how, if you're going to repeat what you KNOW at least 30 other people said (okay okay, we all want to see Firefly return), then resist the temptation of cluttering up this post. That being said: Better Off Ted was one of the funniest shows I've ever...

    Cartoons you used to watch that no one else knew of.

    I don't know anyone else who watch Roughnecks: Starship Trooper Chronicles, but it was a very well written and acted show. Tragically, it got to a point where it was shut down and they couldn't even afford to film the last three episodes.

    Poll: Why does everyone seem to loathe Rebecca Black?

    I don't understand the hatred of Rebecca Black either. If you don't like her music, then don't buy it. I just listened to her sing on America's Got Talent and, quite frankly, I don't think she's that talented. But millions of people who aren't me liked the song and saw the video. Now she's...

    Canceled Television Show

    Well...I suppose there's nothing that we can do about the Conan O'Brien version of the Tonight Show but.... 'Better Off Ted' was friggin hilarious (especially the episode 'Racial Sensitivity'), but its lead-in was the final season of 'Scrubs' who's ending was long overdue. 'Raines' was a...

    Scared to play Bioshock 2

    The story is fine, I suppose. Since right-wingers were upset that Bioshock is set in a dystopia based on 'Atlas Shrugged', they decided to cave (as Democrats will do) and make the next game set in a dystopia based on 'Animal Farm'. And yes, Bioshock Infinite's denizens look based on...

    "The Talk" makes fun of castrated man.

    I think that you spend too much time watching shitty knockoffs of other shows. So what's next? 'The Other Half' followed by 'The Half-Hour News Hour' and then jump on YouTube to watch 'NewsBusted'? Those women are on that show because they're a 2nd tier version of more important women...

    Which cancelled games did/do you want to see made?

    They DESPERATELY need to finish the Legacy of Kain series. ONE MORE GAME! That's ALL they need!

    Poll: Should "news" be a legally protected term?

    I have a friend who says that to be called 'news' you should be prohibited from using subjective adjectives. If three people were killed in a tragic fire, its important to include 'three' but I should be the one to decide if it was 'tragic' or not.

    The worst films you have ever seen

    Kung Pow: Enter the First was far and away the most awful movie I've ever seen. It's acceptable when a joke isn't funny, since comedy is often a volume business. But it's bad when an unfunny joke goes on for way too long (like the 'Pussies, Dicks, and Assholes' speech from Team America), but...

    Zero Punctuation: Brink

    It could also be the name of something Japanese people do when they have something in their eye.

    Teen Arrested for Home-Made "Hot or Not" List on Facebook

    I can understand why he was suspended and expelled. But ARRESTED? That sounds about as much of a violation of 1st Amendment rights as I can think of.

    Zero Punctuation: Portal 2

    No kidding. When I played this game (after my little brother bought it) I only had one serious complaint and it came in the form of two words.... 'Sixty bucks?!' Even though its a wonderful game on pretty much all levels, Portal really does lack replayability, making a $60 purchase...
