    Marvel's Not-So-Awful Animation of the 80s

    Okay, could someone please go to 13:10 on the episode of "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends" featuring the costume party that Bob mentioned. I'll put the link in here. Check out that billboard that Spidey is stuck to, especially the way they've drawn the kid and framed the shot as it zoomed...

    Let's Watch the Captain America: The Winter Soldier Trailer

    I'm super impressed by this trailer. Of all the Marvel follow-ups, the Cap sequel was the one I had the least interest in, but the trailer is making it look to be the best of the lot. I have to say, I'm was also surprised to discover this is directed by the Russo Brothers. They have some...

    Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Review - Episode 3: The Asset

    Didn't have time to read through the other comics so someone might have already mentioned this. re: Coulson struggling to reload his gun as a possible allusion to his being a robot/clone double. Another interesting note: at the end, Coulson mentions that reloading the gun should just be a...

    Escape to the Movies: Musclepocalypse

    Or maybe the lesson is don't release a big budget action movie in January. Except that's not a lesson. Because that's been common sense for decades.

    The Big Picture: Worst Movies of 2012

    As someone who likes the musical I have to say that I really liked Les Mis, but mostly because I thought it was interesting. Bob is right: it's not a story that translates well to film. And the many sustained close-ups during singing was an odd choice. And Russell Crowe is not as strong a singer...

    Escape to the Movies: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

    Just what I was thinking. Les Mis is a long ass musical based on a long ass book, so two and half hours for the film seems ideal. Then again, there's no way of telling if this is what he's talking about (have they even started screening Les Mis to critics?), but that comment really left me...

    Conflict Minerals and the Game Industry: The Problem

    You failed to address his question. It is true that prison time and legal prosecution is the deterrent to immoral behaviour in western society. The question was what do you fear that prevents you from behaving in a morally reprehensible manner. Do you fear prison? If so, why?

    EA Sues Zynga for Copying The Sims Social

    EA has a legitimate claim to be self-righteous? May the gods have mercy on us all.

    The Big Picture: Batman Revisited, Part 1

    Agreed. This pretty much sums up my feelings about Keaton's Batman. Thanks for saving me the trouble. As far as the movie is concerned, I've found that my appreciation for the 1989 Batman has only grown since Nolan's movies came out. Which isn't to say that I prefer Burton's version to...

    Feminist Frequency needs a fact check?

    I've only read the first two pages of this thread but I'll chime in with two quick points. The OP raised a good point that no one seems to have addressed (as far as I got) which is his concern that he fears he can't argue against the Feminist Frequency without being labelled a sexist. He then...

    Escape to the Movies: The Artist

    Just got back from this movie. Absolutely loved it. Bob raises some valid points, but I think his preconception that the movie should offer some kind of insightful deconstruction of the silent movie era kept him from enjoying the movie for what it was. This movie isn't about clever subtext for...
