    MovieBob leaving The Escapist

    I agree with him a lot politically, but his behaviour on twitter in recent months has been, quite frankly, appalling and uncivilised, and I am not surprised to see him gone. Oh well, I'm sure he has a big enough fan base to become enough of a patreon jockey to eke out a meagre existence...

    Escape to the Movies: Jupiter Ascending - Tries But Fails

    Mila Kunis finds out she's royalty and fucks her dog. I'll buy that for a dollar.

    Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me About This?!

    Alestorm reached for the rum but grabbed the valium. Listen to Running Wild. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foEh4OoCYMU

    The Big Picture: The Terrible Twenty Films of 2014 Part 2

    Wait... Kevin Sorbo was in... that? This is really disappointing. He was Hercules, dammit! Also, Interstellar is a worse film than Transformers 4 now? Bob's Nolan crusade just reached embarrassing levels.

    The Big Picture: The Terrible Twenty Films of 2014 Part 1

    I'm leaning towards agreeing with this. Not the being ashamed of masturbating, of course, that shit is awesome. But the rest, yes. The Marvel films that Bob has such a comical hard-on for mostly manage to get a pass by the virtue of not insulting your intelligence too much while delivering a...

    Escape to the Movies: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - There and Back Again

    These... are really good points. I still feel that the comparison is warranted on a purely technical level, but I feel less sad about it now, so cheers for that.

    Escape to the Movies: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - There and Back Again

    Ugh. I've been saying since the first Hobbit film that this is a disaster of Star Wars Prequel levels, and I still think history will be on my side in this. Not even considering that these films are structured and written awfully, "epic showdowns" in the context of the Middle-Earth universe...

    The Big Picture: Mr. Mario Goes To Hollywood

    The Mario franchise may be big and recognizable, but does it get anyone EXCITED any more? I mean, sure, there are a bunch of guys who grew up with the dude who still love him, and it sells a lot cause it's the sort of game parents buy for their kids, but I'd bet half of those kids open their...

    Escape to the Movies: Big Hero 6 - Meet Disney's Animated Avengers

    The film seems fun, but I'd disagree that what children want is longer stories. Most kids are pretty dumb and get squirmy at around the one hour mark, in my experience, so it seems that putting more good, smart stuff into around 80-90 minutes is the way to go. Young adults, on the other hand, or...

    Escape to the Movies: John Wick - Keanu Kicks Ass, Takes Names

    Oooh, a nod to Punisher: War Zone. That's cool! That said, I'd wish Bob would keep the Marvel slavering to his written articles. So sick of that franchise and what it's doing to the AAA film landscape.

    Alien: Isolation Review - Structural Perfection

    So Jim Sterling sings its praises, while IGN claims mediocrity. This is a winner, then, will buy.

    Are you tired of SJW?

    What I'm tired of is the tedious troglodytes who come crawling out of the cracks every time someone tries to start a debate about some way games and gaming culture is broken and needs to improve, hissing SJWs, SJWs, SJWs. Some people just enjoy pissing in the pool, I suppose...

    So whatcha playing Escapists?

    School recently started again, so I don't have the time to play as much as I'd like, so I've mostly been playing matches of LoL with my girlfriend when time allows. I'm quite enjoying the various champions' design, and the easy-to-learn/hard-to-master gameplay. Not crazy about the business...

    Escape to the Movies: Sin City: A Dame to Kill For - Bleeds Substance for Style

    I like how Bob is trying to retroactively convince us The Dark Knight Returns & the first Sin City film wasn't amazing, as Miller's unbelievable dickishness has become even more apparent since then. It won't work, tho.

    Uncivil War: Dark Souls - Smoke Some Pot(s) Challenge!

    Such a lovely series, but I really could do without the generic quasi-metal riff so loud in the mix. Otherwise keep up the amusing work!
