If you really don't see the difference in cultural context for these two things, then I feel a little sorry for you. Hint: Which of those races were enslaved for 200 years in the United States? Re: Bob's bias toward Marvel, while there's definitely truth to this, I feel like the exaggerated...

I was surprised that Bob seemed to consider this one inferior to the reboot it's a sequel to. I just got back from seeing it and I honestly liked it quite a bit better than the first. I don't particularly find the whole "are the Muppets relevant" thing to be an issue. I don't think going to see...

Am I the only one who gets a 404 page when I click the link for this one?

Wow, Dan knows almost literally nothing about anime.

You know? I kinda think that this generation's Star Wars might not be a specific franchise. I think it might be anime. ... Actually, that sounds pretty stupid. Never mind, it's probably Harry Potter. I'm going to specify the books, though, because the movies really suffer as adaptations. I...

I think the end of the review will earn its place as one of the classic moments in ZP history. Although not quite up there with the ending of that one Tomb Raider game review where he just lapsed into saying a bunch of synonyms for "boobs".

Bob, being "Hodgmanesque" can only be a good thing. If anyone can be described as a god among men it's probably him.

Spoilers: The movie Bob is looking forward to this year is The Avengers. Anyway, yeah, pretty good list. A few deserving films were on there (Drive was seriously amazing and Rise of the Planet of the Apes really surprised me with how damn good it was), some other films I haven't seen yet but...

Bob was wrong about Sherlock Holmes 2 (I saw it a couple weeks ago and it was even better than the first) but he was spot-on about this movie. I just saw it today, and it was the most fun I've had at the movie theater in a while. There were so many really great action sequences, especially the...

I love the joke about Ellen Page and Michael Cera, it's so awful it becomes good. The rimshot is what makes it work.

I have to admit I don't know if The Simpsons is funny anymore. I haven't watched anything past Season 10, since it got to be a bit pricey ordering all the DVDs all the time and I kept hearing that it wasn't as funny from then on. (I turned 18 recently and just finished my first semester at...

Because why fucking would they mention it? It's no more notable than any of the other numerous memes that Futurama and The Simpsons spawned. Wait shit I just made a double post.

This is a tough one. I love Futurama, it's a fantastic show, but at the same time, The Simpsons is great too. (I've only watched the first ten seasons, and that doesn't include any of the first season either.) The Simpsons just has so many brilliant gags. Some of the best comedy writing I've...

Once again, people fail to understand that science is not something you enter with the intent of practical application. Any practical uses are just a happy byproduct of learning things. Oh, and what's actually stopping hamsters the size of bears is the square-cube law, genius. Sometimes...

All I have to say is LOL at the Daleks being portrayed as dustbins with plungers on them.
