    The Big Picture: Hercules Part One

    I've always loved this movie. Though my favorite Herc is in Jason And The Argonauts: http://youtu.be/Q17dl_aUNf4

    Zero Punctuation: Syndicate

    Ah yes, the urge to violate an old property in the belief that negative name recognition is better than none. Or what I call 'The Shadowrun Stratagem'

    How Many Hours have you put into Skyrim this weekend?

    The Big Picture: Junk Drawer: Reloaded

    If you can get even one idiot to stop using feminist as an insult and actually read a bit of history, well, you're a better man than I. Thanks for fighting the good fight without being a dick.

    How to Read Movie Criticism

    I think that's pretty demonstrably not true. Saying that you can't have a valid opinion about something unless you've tried to create it is untrue for anything (like, cars), but doubly untrue about most creative mediums. A piece of art, and possibly a movie more than most, is meant to...

    Escape to the Movies: Atlas Shrugged

    Does anyone actually think the economy would be worse off these days with the heads of corporations disappearing? I mean, I'm not advocating assassinations or anything? But the banking industry was pretty much given it's head and that turned out awesome, right? The great movie would be where...

    Cutting Room

    Peeping Tom is also notable in that it pretty much ended the career of an English director who may well have been as good as Hitchcock. Seriously, if it wasn't for Scorsese championing the Powell/Pressburger films they may well have disappeared into the ether. And if you've never seen...

    BioWare: Mass Effect 3 Combat Perfected

    Okay, tell you what. Dick around with the combat as much as you want. But if you make me play "Ethel The Ardvaark Goes Quantity Surveying" for all my upgrades again, I quit. I can't count the amount of times I fell asleep running that stupid cursor back and forth across planets. I mean...

    Which obscure gods hate YOU?

    Digestitus, the god of good digestion, seemed to take issue with me last week. I was a couple thousand miles from home, on tour with my band, and puking up everything I ate for no good reason. Next time, I'll make the proper sacrifices and burn down every fast food place I even come near.

    Escape to the Movies: Paul

    Sure, people have a right to. And I have a right to call them idiots, and enjoy any media that calls them idiots.

    Escape to the Movies: Paul

    Well, now I'm definitely going to see it for the 'Screw You ID' factor. Thanks Bob!
