My biggest issue with the film, based on the reviews, is that Magneto, who is by far the most interesting character in this run of X-Mens, is basically really good for his first few scenes, then becomes a bad guy and just is generic evil guy henchmen. It seems like a waste of a character they...

I'm not sure it really affected me in terms of my outlook on relationships, but I played through Baldur's Gate 2 when it came out at a time that just happened to coincide with my natural high school struggle of dating. I thought that in the game, at least, I would be able to persevere, and for a...

It is obvious that the movie took a very accomplished soldier, included some real elements and fictionalized a lot (there is no documentation of an enemy sniper like in the movie; at best, he is a composite of multiple enemy combatants), and did it because it would make for a good story...

I kind of agree with the whole "It's called a job" thing. Like...that's really what it boils down to. It's a job. You're getting paid to do it. Nobody is being taken advantage of. Everyone arguing about a contract is pretty much overlooking the fact that at will employment works both ways. You...

Here's what I know about Arndt: 1: It can't be worse then Attack of the Clones. 2: An Oscar winning screenwriter is much more likely to draw an Oscar winning director 3: He wrote a treatment and then got hired on to been the screenwriter. That means somebody liked his stuff well enough to...

I just want to point a couple things out, because I'm tired and don't feel like writing a whole lot. 1) You can't say the ending would be great if the cut scenes at the end weren't bad. As someone with a literary degree and a minor in film studies, you should be acutely aware that the last...

I get your point, I really do, but my argument that it doesn't give any additional credibility to the people who have been leaking stuff. That ending is the most simple one to assume. It's basically...everything gets destroyed. I could have told you that would be a possibility before anything...

No, man. All it confirms is that stuff gets blown up. It's like if someone leaked one of the endings from ME2 where Shepard dies and used it to prove that the teaser trailer was actually the way things were supposed to go. There is no dialogue in that clip. There isn't even a definitive 'end' to...

Wait...so...a video showing something bad happening 'confirms' a leak? Did that even need a confirmation? I mean, in every Mass Effect game, you could screw up and die. How is that confirmation of anything? Honestly, it just seems like people are saying these endings are all horrible, and as...

Aww. Is someone sad about Dragon Age? And Garrus will be a squad member if he survived the suicide mission. Along with a couple others. The word 'if' is the one you want to pay attention to.
