Whedon's reasoning is completely sound. I approve.

Not all that broken up about it. Bob used to be one of my three primary critics, but as time has gone on his general behavior has been... Unbecoming to the point I simply dropped him from the lineup. The man just comes across as inherently bitter, and the Amazing Spider-Man schtick got old...

Apparently Bob thinks he's Karnak.

Sony has already denied it.

Destiny. Gameplay is smooth as butter, and lord knows I played a ton of it when it was released. But at the end of the day it was just hollow. I didn't know why I was doing anything, nor did the game give me reasons to care. I remember playing the final campaign mission with a friend and...

Well, that's certainly a snotty response.

To be frank, I don't care. I care about consistent framerate without any drops, not getting it as high as I can get. Framerate, resolution, graphics, etcetera are all things that get pushed to the back of my mind while playing a game. I should be focused on gameplay, environment, and...

I walked out of the movie. I've never walked out of a movie before, but this was the time to do it. It was so bad. I fully figured Bob would trash this after I walked out after the first half. He did, and rightfully so. But Jesus Tap Dancing Christ, I am so fucking sick of hearing about...

Alright, I'm done with Bob. Got back from the midnight showing of this riding high because of how much i enjoyed it, then I boot up Bob's review and this is the third blockbuster in a month that I outright disagree with Bob on. Just done.

It's potentially happening here fore me. With ASM1 the vast majority of the cut and alternate content was Conners and Lizard stuff, most notably where he interacts with Peter quite a bit. Of note were two scenes; one where Conners waits for Peter at his home to give his condolences to him for...

No no, I'm saying it's a problem. I'm just hypothesizing that the problem might be due to editing.

Got back from it last night, and as predicted I disagree with Bob. Andrew is perfect in the role, his chemistry with Emma Stone is perfect, Dehaan's great, Sally Field is great, etcetera. Narratively it is indeed a cobweb, resembling Iron Man 2 in a lot of ways. Multiple threads going on at...

I've been a Spider-Man fan since i was five years old. That's close to 25 years ago now. When Amazing Spider-Man was coming out in 2012, I was prepared to hate that movie. I watched Bob's review and found the scathing tone of it a little extreme, but was steeled myself for what was to come...

I've never truly bought into the idea that protagonists have to be someone the player/viewer/reader can relate to, even in minute ways. If that were the case, there are a ton of characters out there that are good guys that I wouldn't engage in. Besides, I don't exactly agree with the idea that...
