We had MMOs before WOW, but the boom of MMOs in the late 2000s and their establishment as one of the major genres of that era comes from WOW's popularity. There were also platformers before Super Mario Bros, but the explosion of platformers in the late 80s to early 90s is attributable to the...

The film version of Fellowship of The Ring does a good job even within a planned trilogy of having a satisfying conclusion. The 'story' of the fellowship ends, the baddie they setup for the film (Lurtz) is dealt with, and Boromir's death provides the film with a significant emotional payoff as...

I'm more excited for this than if it were an all-male reboot, or - heaven-forbid - a threequal involving the remaining original cast.

Once I called you brother, once I thought the chance to make you laugh was all I ever wanted.... The Prince of Egypt is so frickin kick-ass.

It's one of the most depressing developments of digital projection that films no longer have a projectionist to actually check that the film starts properly.

Principal photography has finished.

Isn't part of this due to Unity not being available on Steam in some territories?

Lasseter directed Cars.

All of the Star Wars subtitles are terrible when you think about it. Maybe they're just keeping with tradition?

Deadwood. While very rarely for story reasons, sex in Deadwood is often used to establish tone very well. There's nothing pornographic in the way the TV series displays its sex scenes, it simply uses them in much the same way it does its violence - as an illustration of the degeneracy and...

Why? This Roller Coaster Tycoon is clearly specifically made for the F2P market of mobile devices. The PC market is different and a traditional RT is much more viable there than it is on mobile. You're being a little over-dramatic to say that Roller Coaster Tycoon is FOREVER damaged because of...

I was disappointed to be honest. Like other Marvel sequels the story, for me, had its feet too far planted in both the past and the future of Marvel's universe. The reveal of who the Big Bads are working for is just a twist for the sake of referencing the older films and adds nothing to the...
