I haven't purchased my copy of the remastered editions of HW and HW2 yet, but the biggest problem I remember with Homeworld 2 was how it would up the difficulty curve for your next level based on how many ships you survived the previous level with. Homeworld made me get better by making me care...

I can understand why, after five movies, people would want to see something different. I can see why a fresh interpretation of Spider-man would be more interesting to them than just another attempt at Peter Parker. But I have two problems with this. One, which I know I'll be flagged for so...

Some of those look interesting, but was hoping to see a Civ V mod. Is there (a good) one out there?

I think the real interesting question will be whether this is a true Superhero age, or if this is MARVEL's age. Let's face it, if Batman versus Superman tanks (IMHO possible, but not likely if only for how many people will go see it because they expect the trainwreck) WB/DC might pull back from...

The Geico Cavemen. Full stop. I got to the point that if I was watching a show (with very, very few exceptions) that aired that ad, I would change the channel and not go back. Stupid on my part? Yes, but I just couldn't take those commercials after the first one. Stupid concept. Stupid idea...

Huh. This sounds more interesting than I would have thought. I struggled with the first one primarily because all of the younger character spoke and acted like modern kids to the point I expected one of them to see something amazing and then say 'Hold on I have to tweet about this.' Maybe it...

The more I've heard about this film makes me wonder if they wrote the full story out (mutilation/revenge included) and then someone pointed out what the unintentional subtext was and they collectively tried to undo the damage with the second act. Sometimes we write things and then others have to...

Never knew that piece about She-Hulk's comic being self-aware and basically doing Deadpool's schtick before he was doing it. Very interesting.

Still on the fence with this one myself, and MovieBob's complaint about Kitty Pryde being the one sending Wolverine's mind back into the past is a big part of why. Mostly because from the outside it looks like it was a blatant attempt to have Ellen Paige come back in hopes of putting a few extra...

Good Lord was I a Blackstar fan. Seemed like the show was literally on one week, and then not on the next, only to return the following week...but maybe that's the age-induced haze taking over. Still bought the series when it was issued on DVD though. Didn't the Inhumanoids also have this...

My memory isn't the best, I'll admit, but I do want to say while this scene in particular is different in the books, as starts with it being non-consensual and then rolls into consensual (more on that in a second), Jaime does several times after Joffery's death seriously consider doing exactly...

I'm usually fairly flexible with how faithful to the source material something has to be, but this one just seems to have the name and the catalyst the same as the original story. I don't mind (too much) using Wolverine instead of Sprite/Shadowcat/Kitty Pryde as the one sent back through time to...

Okay, bonus points for the Looney Toons reference this week. Never knew who wrote the original story though. That was interesting....TO THE INTERNETS!

Being a fan of many of 'old' Hollywood's takes on big Biblical stories (or associated ones like Ben-Hur) I've been very interested in this film. Not just because it's Aronofsky, but because I was genuinely curious to see what kind of movie they would make out of this. I guess I was curious if...

I think I've been excited about every new console generation except this one. Both MS and Sony killing backward compatibility was a deal-breaker for me (more so from MS since I have a 360). I'm likely going to be standing pat (though my PC will undoubtedly get an upgrade) for a while. All...
