    No Right Answer: Worst Reboot Ever

    Clearly the fix is in. Man of Steel was the worse of two for one very simple fact: No one gave or gives a damn about "Apes". 40 some odd years ago, yeah, "Apes" was a going concern. Now(well,2001), though?

    Escape to the Movies: Skyfall

    My thoughts, as I left the theatre: Casino Royale + Quantum of Solace + Skyfall = James Bond: Year One.

    Escape to the Movies: Breaking Dawn, Part 1

    Bob, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for taking this hit for me, and, in fact, for all of us. I haven't played a Mario game since the NES, but I have heard of the mythical, spiritual healing powers of the Tanooki suit. To deny yourself this healing so as to spoil a truly wretched...

    Favourite Game Sequence

    I think my favorite sequence comes from Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies. The story of the game is told as the recollections of a young boy "adopted" as the mascot of the main enemy ace. Over the course of the game, his recollections reveal that, as you play the game, the enemy pilots all begin to...

    Critical Miss: Tet Rising

    Is it really fair to blame the character for the player's asshatery? :D

    Earth's Mightiest Teaser

    "Um... incidentally, why has nobody said "Avengers Assemble!" yet?" Because you'll only get one shot at delivering that line. One. The movie could be a two hour long nerdgasm, but if you mess up that line, it will all be tainted. It will be in the movie, without a doubt, because if they do...

    The Dark Knight Rises Teaser Trailer Surfaces, Shows Off Bane

    Regarding Liam Neeson's VO : That's not from Begins. That's a new reading. And, at around 0:34 or so, I believe he's saying "A legend destroying a legend." Having failed to turn the Batman, doe Ra's try again with Bane?

    Favorite past-gen RPG and why...

    Front Mission 3 popped into my head as soon as I read the thread title. Always good to see it get some love.

    Westboro Baptist Church

    Ideally, we would ignore this cult, and allow them to fade away, back into ignominy they so richly deserve. And, that will happen eventually. Admittedly though, that's not very satisfying. They are doing this for the attention, so getting angry at them fuels the fire. The answer, I think, to...

    Is the movie ever better than the book

    V for Vendetta. Specifically, Evie's prison sequence. In the book, V basically tortures Evie, so she can experience some of what he's gone through. Essentially, she's brainwashed by the experience and become V's ardent follower. That never set well with me. In the movie, she basically tells him...

    Test Your Mental Might With The Escapist's First-Ever Puzzle Adventure!

    Thephill's hint helped greatly (Thanks, Thephill) to get the answer. (In fact, thanks to everyone who's posted clues during all of this.) With that, I backtracked the solution. I'll try to be clever with my hint...but I make no promises....

    Most boring/difficult books you've ever read.

    Praise God, Glory, Hallelujah!! I AM NOT ALONE!!! I registered JUST to reply to this post! I've tried to read The Hobbit several times, I get 75 pages in and he starts telling about Bilbo's 3rd aunt, 4 times removed, and why she's the reason for the Baggins reputation and...
