    Female Game Characters Photoshopped to Average American Proportions

    "Laura Croft: Tomb Raider"? More like "Laura Croft: Buffet Raider"! It's interesting that all these unrealistically athletic female characters were given obese proportions. You'd think that with all the running and jumping, etc., they do, they'd have lost their "freshman fifteen". How...

    Escape to the Movies: Total Recall

    Moviebob, please choose an accent and stick with it! Who do you think you are, Kevin Costner in "Prince of Thieves"?

    The Big Picture: Relics

    If you walked onto someone's rural acre of land, found a dilapitated abandoned house but then found the residents living in a mud hut not far away, would you not think the house was "lost" and that the people living in mud hut (instead of the fixer-upper house) would be, well, not exactly equal...

    No Right Answer: Han Solo vs. Indiana Jones

    (The Escapist censorbot didn't like my original post, so I decided to boil it down to see if it gets censored.) Why Han Solo > Indiana Jones... "Kingdom of Crystal Skull":Indiana Jones::Jerry Sandusky:Joe Paterno If Indiana Jones had retired one year/film earlier ("Last Crusade") he...

    Escape to the Movies: Breaking Dawn, Part 1

    How far in the toilet does your career have to be that you were the director of "Twin Peaks" and "Dune" and now you're the voice of a bartender in a cartoon series? Isn't that one step above doing pr0n? Or doing a Twilight movie?

    Drinking Games: Resident Elixir 5

    I don't get it. WHAT racism in RE5? You mean to tell me that people in Africa are not normally melanin-enhanced? Dammit! "National Geographic" magazine has been lying to me for decades! The bastards! I guess your ability to get drunk would depend on whether you are a normal person or Al...

    Escape to the Movies: Red State

    Reading the opposing views by self-admitted Kevin Smith fanboys makes me shake my head in embarrassment for them. I thought Moviebob's review was pretty level. He admits he's a fanboy but the fact that he can be objective and calls excrement excrement means he hasn't drunk the Kool-Aid like...

    Escape to the Movies: Red State

    Holy cow! Moviebob surprised the heck out of me. I was 100% sure that Moviebob was going to LOOOOOVE Saint Kevin Smith's "Red State". It has everything a Leftist propaganda film needs.... The villains are non-Democrat Christian heterosexual psychotic murderers who have to be "pacified" by...

    Escape to the Movies: Super 8

    Darn you Bob! I thought either someone was fooling around outside the window behind me, or that my monitor was going haywire. Then it turns out that JJ Abrams was in the control room blasting lens flare. If bizarre illogical convoluted plotlines are a JJ Abrams trademark, so is excessive lens...

    Feed Dump: Smoking Carrots in New Zealand

    If one learned how to defend yourself against an assailant armed with fresh fruit (as opposed to a sharpened stick), are those skills transferable to defending yourself against an assailant armed with a sharpened carrot? Raspberries? Yes. Bananas? Yes. Sharpened stick? No. Sharpened...

    Feed Dump: Smoking Carrots in New Zealand

    Sorry Graham. I still prefer Kathleen's shark hat from last week.

    Escape to the Movies: X-Men: First Class

    Or, how about "Hangover 3" be a prequel? How the wolfpack got together, with the help of a time-traveling Zach Galifianakis? Or "Hangover 3" be a reboot with an all new cast?

    The Big Picture: The Numbers

    I agree. The best movies are produced by anti-Capitalist countries like USSR, Cuba, China, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Libya, et al. Now, if we only had some sort of endowment on a national scale that could fund art like "Scott Pilgrim" and Lovecraft that would free selfless artists like Del...

    Fox News Attacks NEA for Classifying Games as Art

    Everyone who has a knee-jerk reaction against Fox News and is vehemently pro-NEA, please prove me wrong. Please name a videogame that utterly failed in the marketplace, i.e., lost the developer lots of money, yet is so astounding in its artistry and aesthetic, that it should have received...
