    What Single Scene Killed an Otherwise Great Movie?

    You know, I don't think AccursedTheory's interpretation is wrong. But, as corny as it might be, I actually really liked that about the movie. It wasn't afraid to get a bit whimsical with its philosophy, or its science; and while I understand that being hit-or-miss, I thought it was wonderfully...

    What Single Scene Killed an Otherwise Great Movie?

    Ironically, while I thought that epilogue almost ruined the whole book by its inclusion and was really terribly written, I actually thought it was done WAY better in the movie. Maybe because it completely leaves out the cloying and unnecessary "everything is completely fine and great now...

    Poll: If you die, do you want your Sig Other to find someone else?

    When I die, yeah, they can do whatever the heck they want. Just like you said, I can't really care at that point. Corpses don't have feelings.

    Stop disliking what I like!

    Hm... Coca-Cola Lime, I suppose. And I don't mean the Diet version. That was some really good stuff.

    DELETED

    They have breakfast!! All day, every day. Good desserts, too, and the gift shop is fun to wander. Did I mention they have all-day BREAKFAST? Tasty, tasty breakfast foods.

    Poll: "Benevolent Sexism"...Wait, what?!

    Don't do it because of their gender; do it because it's the nice thing to do, regardless of the gender of the person involved. That's what a gentleman does. If you only do nice things for women, not for men... then yes, that's sexist, one way or the other. Be a genuine good person. It's...

    What justifies/determines the price value of a game to you?

    $30 - reasonable price $40 - yer pushing it $50 - the maximum (this game better be REALLY good) $60 - unless this includes DLC, you can forget it! This is based on the average quality I've observed in the games industry currently. That is, each game is about 10 hours of solid content, a...

    Which old films/ tv shows would you think Hollywood rebook/ remake next?

    Phantom of the Opera. I'm amazed that it hasn't been done yet. It's a beloved classic, and yet the most prominent film adaptation to date is almost universally considered to be pretty bad.

    Movies that are actually BETTER than their source material.

    The Lord of the Rings, totally! The films do leave out some pretty great stuff from the books, and some of the changes (particularly to Saruman) lack the nuance of the original material and are even nonsensical at times, but the movies are really well done overall and SO much more...

    8 Movies of the Late Great Peter O'Toole

    It seems like everyone forgets his role in Ratatouille. He voiced Anton Ego, the food critic? It was a bloody fantastic performance. He OWNED that movie, despite not having a ton of screen time. Do people just not remember Ratatouille? I personally think it's one of Pixar's best movies.

    Now that the GTA V hype is gone...

    Honestly, that's too much to spend on ANY game. If you were all about the hype, then I would say "Go for it! Life is short!". But you want a more reasoned suggestion, so here's mine: Wait until it's about a third of that price, like Arkham City (GOTY) is now. Why spend over $60 when you can...

    Poll: Would you undergo a treatment that made sleep unnecessary for you...

    That. The whole "shortened lifespan" thing implies that I would want to spend less time in a dreaming state than I do now. But, dreaming is the most enjoyable part of my day, at least at this point in my life. Heck, I even enjoy the sensation of drifting in and out of consciousness, snoozing...

    Movies that will never be bad

    Rashomon, The Seven Samurai... and, oh, Casablanca. Those are some timeless movies, right there. Saw them a few years ago, and they're captivating. Also, Seven Samurai has a built-in intermission! More movies could use that. XD

    Retro City Rampage 3DS Won't Feature 3D Graphics

    What, a 3DS game WITHOUT shoe-horned 3D!? Blasphemy! Next thing you know, there will be games for Wii U that just use normal controls in place of special GamePad features, and THEN where will we be? I have no interest in playing a quality indie game if I can't get a headache while doing it...
