    No Right Answer: Worst Reboot Ever

    Planet of the Apes clearly wins this round (my god it was just awful)! Man of Steel, to me, wasn't that bad. I liked the main cast and it did have some rather nice moments for the characters. BUT what really killed it was how over-bloated the over-all feel the movie was trying to go for. I'm...

    No Right Answer: Worst Video Game to Movie Redux

    If I had to pick, I'd go with Final Fantasy: Spirits Within. Legend of Chun-Li, to me at least, is a tolerable bad movie. It's goofy, it's dumb, but I've seen worse...much worse (**cough** The Item **cough**). Spirits Within wins this due to the fact I remember very vividly going to see it in...

    No Right Answer: Best Nicktoon Ever

    I'm gonna have to side with Lisa on this; Rocko's Modern Life trumps Spongebob Squarepants (even if my choice is out of pure nostalgia for the show)! I'll admit, I did watch Spongbob when it was red hot (I was just starting 9th grade) and I even liked some of the earlier episodes and seasons...

    The Big Picture: It Seems Today ...

    I do enjoy Family Guy myself, especially when it was brought back from cancellation. Just like Bob pointed out, the first three seasons weren't that great, but once Season 4 began, the show did get better. While the show does often take jokes too far, both on an offensive level and an annoyance...

    No Right Answer: 90's Cartoon Most Deserving a Reboot

    My two cents. Since MovieBob already mentioned his wish to see Gargoyles get a reboot in an episode of The Big Picture, I won't go into too much detail on what I think. To put it simply, I am not interested in seeing a reboot of Gargoyles. Now Swat Kats, on the other hand, I can totally see a...

    The Big Picture: The Boot, Part Two

    Now that Bob has released the second half of his reboot list, here's my two cents: Monster Squad: I can totally see a reboot for this film, given Hollywood's obsession with remaking anything that's over 10 years old (well, not limiting anything over the 10 year mark, but you catch my drift)...

    The Big Picture: The Boot, Part One

    Interesting choice there Bob, so here's my take on each of them: Howard the Duck: I really liked this movie as a kid, so I wouldn't mind seeing a reboot of this, especially with today's CGI and special effects. I could see the reboot as a TV series or even a web series, but not a full-length...

    Darkstalkers Resurrection Review

    I was more of a Darkstalkers fan than I was Street Fighter, mostly due to renting both Night Warriors and Darkstalkers 3 a lot back in the good ol' days of movie rental stores for my PlayStation. I bought it via Xbox Live and so far I am 100% happy with it! The developers did a wonderful job...

    The Big Picture: Trolling The 90s

    Oh man, MovieBob...well, you leave me no choice: I must go find my 90s Nerf water gun, cheap black sunglasses and a scrunchie or two. Once I have these items, I shall be transported back to when I was a kid in that magic era and go forth across the landscape and have a glorious adventure in the...

    Angry Birds Cartoon Launches This Weekend

    It was only a matter of time before an Angry Birds cartoon was gonna be made. Honestly, while I am a casual fan of the games, I'm really glad a cartoon is coming out. Is Angry Birds being milked to death? To a point, yes. But there is some nostalgic charm watching dialog-free cartoon characters...

    Marvel Taps Superheroines for Chick Lit

    More ways for Disney to make money via Marvel. Still, I do like the concept and I will give the books a read; they seem perfect for those long, boring shifts at my job when I have nothing else I need to accomplish for the day.

    The Big Picture: Tooned Out

    Dang it MovieBob, you're making me remember all those shows! While most of them where around before I was old enough to watch them, I do remember that Darkstalkers cartoon very well: holy hell was it bad! I also remember Sonic as well, but I mostly watched The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog...

    Hasbro Targets Adults With New Star Wars Toys

    I wonder what stores will be carrying them? I like the price point too; I used to collect action figures when I was in high school (stopped due to the lack of quality in many figures over the years and have also moved onto other things as well). If they will include a Princess Leia figure in her...

    Unskippable: Resonance of Fate

    Love this episode! The game, however...oh the hurts it game me due to its difficulty spikes and pointless grinding sessions! I barely made it halfway before I quit for good. Still, I love the opening movie for Resonance of Fate; very beautifully done and it gave me goosebumps watching it for the...

    What is the geekest thing you own?

    Hmmm...the geekest thing I own, huh? Well, I used to collect action figures when I was in high school (mostly from Todd McFarlane; still own all the ones I have too) and they are mostly of anime characters (Vash the Stampede and Ryoko from Tenchi Muyo, plus a few from Akira and Ghost in the...
