    No Right Answer: Best Father / Son Movie Ever

    I haven't seen the first TMNT movie since the turtles were never my thing, so I can't really add or detract from Chris' arguments. What I did want to point out is that I have seen Last Crusade, and there was one interesting father/son dynamic bit that I was surprised Kyle didn't bring up: that...

    The Big Picture: Marvel Mess

    I also find these multi-part episodes interesting, especially when they cover the behind-the-scenes of comics stuff that I only have a basic grasp of, because like the comics themselves, these things can get pretty convoluted. The one fight I DO hope gets avoided is Marvel vs. Fox, so that...

    HELP Which Pokemon game should I buy?

    I got a 3DS XL recently, my first Nintendo system. [waits for gasping to subside] Instead of Black/White2, I went on eBay on got Heartgold/Soulsilver, mostly because 495 seemed more doable than 649 and I'm a completionist, and I liked the Pokéwalker idea. The game is enjoyable and the...

    I Wrote That Crap!

    I take it, Bob, that this is your "Please don't watch The Silver Chalice [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Silver_Chalice_%28film%29]. Sincerely, Paul Newman." moment. I applaud your candor, especially since I too have written absolutely-awful fiction. I was only saved from my teenage idiocy...

    The Big Picture: Tropes vs. MovieBob

    This was a common sexist ad tactic that I considered putting on the list, but because the appeal was one of control/competency/power as opposed sex appeal/"look at that hot person", I left it off. Since this is an Internet forum and brevity is preferred, I only focused some examples based on...

    The Big Picture: Tropes vs. MovieBob

    I would like to bring up the issue of "agency in games", as in, "Who is the character the player controls, and what are his or her motivations?". Unless the gameplay itself does not require the player to assume a character role, like say for puzzle games or RTS, the game creators will make a...

    Feed Dump: No Foot For You

    Question 1: Whose scouting uniform is that? Question 2: Did Graham get that ski mask from the King of All Cosmos?

    Final Fantasy Teams Up With Fashion Line

    I feel so sorry for the models who really did wear the clothes in the original photos. I imagine the conversation going something like this. Model: "This is great! I'm going to be in a Prada ad! This will really help my career. Thank you so much!" Prada Rep: "Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaah...

    Feed Dump: Hot Nurses and Pregnant Chimps

    See, I'm wondering if one-person-only Feed Dump filming occurs, it would be a good idea to harness the power the Internet. Graham hosting a virtual couch with MovieBob and Susan Arndt, perhaps? Maybe it would be cool to have a (very literal) "Casting Couch" contest where people send in videos...

    The Oscars Are Going to Suck

    I have not seen Goodfellas yet, as I have quite a bit of "great films" Netflix backlog to work through yet, but I have seen Awakenings [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099077/]. Dances With Wolves was the bigger movie, but Awakenings had better acting and more sincerity, and is better deserving of...

    Feed Dump: Test Tube Beef

    Why did I watch this while drinking juice? I almost did a spit take when it came to Alex's wildebeest and flint tool dilemma. You know you're a nerd when the archeology jokes get you every time. Well done, gentlemen of LRR.

    Unskippable: Lord of the Rings: War in the North

    Raise your hand if you had to look up what a Kinder Surprise was! Liked this one, but I can't wait for The Darkness II. How many times has he died, and just how long will be the car-chase tunnel this time?

    Psychic: Apollo 16 Astronauts Found Alien Life on the Moon

    Personally, I'm more interested in the way these people's brains work to suggest complicated imagery or objects from pictures of rocks. Any person I've meet when asked to look describe what some natural phenomenon "looks like" would give something like, "That cloud looks like a bunny", but no...
