    Poll: 2015, The end of The Escapist?

    yeah, as someone who's been around since before moviebob joined the website (at least as a reader, don't remember if i'd joined the forum at that point), it does seem a bit odd that people couldn't imagine the website without him and Jim. The escapist will be fine i'd say.

    Fan Cuts The Hobbit Trilogy Into a Single, Four-Hour Movie

    Sadly it's impossible to cut Tauriel from the film entirely. She plays too big of a role in Kili's death scene.

    Fan Cuts The Hobbit Trilogy Into a Single, Four-Hour Movie

    So I'd actually recently finished doing something similar for the first two films (as they are the only ones legally available to purchase at the moment), and I'm astounded at how he apparently managed to cut all three down to a total of 4 hours, and I still have the entire third movie to go...

    Gamergate, No "Right Side." - We Should Avoid Picking Sides

    Eron never claimed that Zoe slept with journalists for the purpose of getting good game reviews as far as I'm aware. He mentioned a couple of the people she cheated with and the internet inferred the rest when they saw the names. On top of that thezoepost documents numerous instances of Zoe...

    Does Music Today Suck Now, Or Am I Finally 'Old'?

    hmm, looking at the top 25 from the year end hot 100 list, it doesn't seem like pop music is really any worse than it was around the time I was born. Though there did seem to be a time in the late 00's where pop music basically just died and pt out nothing of even moderate value.

    well, the the escapist was just attacked.

    So when the pro gamergate side accuses of one of their opponents of doxing or hacking themselves you (rightly) criticize them for it, but when someone attacks the pro gamergate side it's perfectly reasonable to assume they did it to their own side. That's not hypocritical at all

    Star Wars: Episode VIII Director Says Episode VII is Ditching CGI

    Welp glad to see that as someone who enjoys the prequels that I apparently am not welcome as part of the community, or at the very least that I am to be regarded as someone without working eyes or ears. Way to make me feel at home in your community.

    The Big Picture: Who Was That At The End of Guardians of the Galaxy?

    I would also like to see an episode on the Howard the duck movie

    Meet the Fledgling Rebel Alliance in Star Wars Rebels

    Dude, It's been 15 years since the release of the Phantom Menace, and almost a decade since Revenge of the Sith. Let it go already. I mean I get it, certain people don't like the prequels, I'm pretty sure that's been firmly established on the internet at this point, yet any time anything...

    Things you like that have..."questionable" messages

    Yeah you might want to skip over that one for multiple reasons. On top of passages like that, there's also the fact that the villain's plan in the book version is the very same plan Bond ridicules as impossible in the film adaptation, to steal the gold from fort knox. It's probably best if you...

    Things you like that have..."questionable" messages

    Actually I would like to dispute the claim that the attitude toward women in the james bond series isn't cartoonishly awful at times. As evidence I would like to present this quote from Goldfinger

    Easily solved Plotholes that annoy the hell out of you

    I guess what I'm saying is that it'd be unfair to judge things in the prequels, or that the prequels imply about the OT based on a set of movies that weren't planned and didn't exist at the time, just as it would be unfair to judge the original cut of the OT negatively based on things that...

    Easily solved Plotholes that annoy the hell out of you

    Well actually we do see that in TPM the senate is clearly corrupt enough to side with the trade federation as seen when Padme tries to convince the senate to act on the invasion of naboo. Also, while they don't know Sidious they clearly know he has influence over the senate in some way (hence...

    Easily solved Plotholes that annoy the hell out of you

    A large number of ships and a means to track when they are approaching the planet or attempting to leave the planet? Presumably they'd be trying to get lower or nonexistent taxes on trade routes. As for the second question, the answer is simple: They'd get away with it the same whay they did in...

    Easily solved Plotholes that annoy the hell out of you

    because, quite frankly, unless you were to post a 50 page essay on the subject, it wouls still take considerably less time to consume than RLM's reviews. On top of that I don't particularly like his Star Wars reviews. They miss the mark on their criticisms far more often than they it them, and...
