Confused how you should feel about America Sniper? Read this: http://www.clickhole.com/article/confused-about-how-youre-supposed-feel-about-ameri-1771 Hits the nail on the head. People mapping their politics on any movie/art piece and then telling everyone else what to think of it should...

I'll second the notion of Babylon 5. One of the first scifi shows to totally commit to story arcs rather then episodic tv. Also has multiple great female characters - something a lot of shows can't boast of. Well worth a look. I guess you could add the first couple seasons of the West...

How is this not just a list of quotes by John C Dvorak? From: "The Macintosh uses an experimental pointing device called a ?mouse?. There is no evidence that people want to use these things. I don?t want one of these new fangled devices." to "The Noisiest buzz in the industry lately...

Explaining magic with science is always dumb.

This sounds so dumb that it rises to the level of "it was only a dream" on Dallas when Bobby Ewing came back. (look it up, youngsters) Do comicbook fans actually like this kind of thing?

Bob comes off extra douchey this week. He seems to have enjoyed the movie, but I get the sense he felt like he needed to protect his "cred" and so tried to get snooty about it. Do't be afraid, Bob!

The best joke in this whole thing how all criminals need is a job and they will stop committing crimes.

So Mormons are against B level horror movies? Your inclusion of "mormon owned" is puzzling, as it see to have no relevance to anything in your article. Blockbuster carried many R rated movies that included violence and nudity. So whats the point? You didn't tell the religion of who owned...

Wheaton's new show is brutal. Wow. Anyone giving it more than one season?

Spot on for both comments. Also, Bob, you were right the first time. That movie is a mess and is pretty terrible. The fact people like it and spend money on it is immaterial. People also liked the Star Trek reboots, the Transformers, etc.

Open source "philosophy". Close, but no cigar. They will not sue companies that want to use its technology "in good faith". Whatever that means. What is means is not right now, but we reserve the right to change our mind at anytime. So yeah its cool-ish, but do not be mislead. They...

The one show to actually have a 5 year story arc already written was Babylon 5. That thing even had trap doors for every main character if the actors had to leave. That was a long time ago. Now, as was stated above, you end up with crap like Lost. I'm tempted to wait until this show runs a...

John Green is kinda the new king of YA Sick-Lit; books about teens that are ill and have relationship issues. It's pretty decent if you are a tween or teen, but as an adult you you see every move coming a mile away. That said, lots of adults are reading kids books these days. Make of that...

This sums it up nicely. I think people like the sameness - I would say blandness - of the latest batch of marvel movies. They are not challenging in anyway and show almost no character development - because they need these characters to be in limbo until the next team up movie. Also, could...

This is the most press She Hulk has gotten in years. Shes a c-list character at best. The thing that makes the Hulk interesting (the loss of control and the struggle Banner goes through) are missing with She-Hulk. She can change at will and has no downside. That is very boring. She is like...
