    MovieBob leaving The Escapist

    Don't know what happened, don't really care. What I do know is that I have a couple less reasons to come to this site during the week. Which stinks.

    No Right Answer: Movies vs Video Games

    I think the most obvious point was missed. The interaction. With a movie you're just sitting there, with a good game, you are living the narrative. That being said for me personally the only real release dates I'm looking forward to are movies.

    The Big Picture: American Sniper Sucks (And It's Okay To Admit That)

    For some reason I just think it's kind of funny that this is turning into a propaganda movie, where you either love it or you're unmerican. Wasn't the propaganda movie in Inglorious Bastards about a sniper too.

    Escape to the Movies: Taken 3 - The One Where Liam Neeson Beats People Up

    Yeah I don't get what Marvel did where they messed up either? What did they do?

    The Big Picture: Mr. Mario Goes To Hollywood

    The problem as I see it, is that the people that would make the movie don't understand that content. For example, look at the last Ninja Turtles. One reason why the Marvel movies have been so good is that the people making the movies (writers, directors, producers) all get the material, mostly...

    The Big Picture: Broken Movies

    It all depends. I like the idea of a universe just going on and on, so long as the material stays interesting. The problem is that the universes must be fed, so studios will put whatever they can on the screen to keep justifying the making of each movie in said universe. That's why 3 movies...

    This Week's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Is All About World-Building

    Only 3 stars? humm well ok. I thought this was a pretty solid episode, one that moved the overall story along pretty well. I can see how they could be moving towards more of their core fanbase, but a season and a half in, at some point you do have to make the call, "Who are you making this...

    Escape to the Movies: Dumb & Dumber To: Just Dumber

    I am now honestly looking forward to Bob doing a review for 50 Shades of Grey. After seeing a commercial for it, oh the review is going to be classic.

    The Big Picture: Don't Censor Me!

    I think that you should have gone for the 90's victory lap and shown all of the fatalities from Mortal Kombat.

    Damn That Was Fast: Avengers: Age Of Ultron Trailer Already Leaked

    I'll be there day 1 for this movie. But being honest the trailer was only average. While after watching Guardians I was thinking, "yeah this will be amazing!" This trailer has a been there done that sort of feel to it. Again don't get me wrong, Ultron looks and sounds super menacing, but I'm...

    New Jupiter Ascending Trailer Expands the Universe

    I really want to want to see this, but I just can't get excited about these trailers. The concept seems like a B movie idea that is trying to be an A movie in it's seriousness. It just seems like something in the trailers is missing a key note. When I first saw the Guardians trailer, it was...

    Mojang Joins Microsoft; Founders Notch, Carl, Jakob Leaving

    I'm reserving judgement of the deal. But I highly doubt that we'll see a 1.9 content patch for free.

    AT&T and Verizon: 10Mbps Is Too Fast For Broadband

    So in other words, "We're not going to pay to give anyone faster than 4gb, they (consumers) can pay for that."
