    #GiveCaptainAmericaABoyfriend. How long was I asleep for?

    I honestly don't get the obsession with having to have every male character either created or recreated to be gay or even bisexual. Just like I don't get the obsession with the idea that every female character from hence forth should be strong, independent and fearless. It sounds like utterly...

    Ghostbusters Director Calls Out "Assholes in Geek Culture"

    Here's my take on the whole Ghostbusters reboot thing, please note that these are only from my perspective and I can't speak for the greater "geek collective", but I have a feeling that a lot of my sentiment is shared with those out there: 1) There is absolutely a subset of geek culture which...

    Captain America: Civil War is Certified Fresh

    So having seen it earlier last week (live outside the US) I can safely say that Civil War is in no way worthy of the 94% that it's currently sitting at on Rotten Tomatoes. There are plenty of individual moments within the movie that are incredibly well put together and incredibly enjoyable, but...

    Yesterday I saw Batman V Superman.......it was ok...[MAJOR SPOILERS THREAD]

    Thanks for pointing this out, I never made that connection, but it absolutely makes a lot of sense. I think that's the biggest problem with the movie in that I think there's a lot of things they expected moviegoers to notice without necessarily directly calling it out which serve to explain some...

    Yesterday I saw Batman V Superman.......it was ok...[MAJOR SPOILERS THREAD]

    How are you aggregating/calculating that information, can you provide quantifiable proof of your statement and outcome? I would love to see how you calculated that metric.

    Yesterday I saw Batman V Superman.......it was ok...[MAJOR SPOILERS THREAD]

    1) Yeah it definitely fell short. 2) I'm not 100% sure how Lex expects to control Doomsday, perhaps he believes as being part creator, part that which is in control of the ship, that in some form he will have control. I think the movie pretty much established that Lex isn't good at making sane...

    Yesterday I saw Batman V Superman.......it was ok...[MAJOR SPOILERS THREAD]

    Hoo boy, okay so this is pretty badly written, but let me try respond: - Lex Luthor being a copy/paste of The Joker: I'll agree on this, I found Jesse Eisenberg's portayal of Lex to be a huge let down and fell right into all the reservations people had about the casting choice. Lex to me was...

    Forbes Article: "Zack Snyder Loves Superman, And 'Batman V Superman' Proves It"

    See, that's the problem with the conversation around the movie. Instead of making well-argued points, people are making the most inane arguments about the least important aspects of the film. Yes, the film is desaturated and "darker" visually than other superhero movies (and lets be honest, when...

    Forbes Article: "Zack Snyder Loves Superman, And 'Batman V Superman' Proves It"

    You would have to include me in that list of people that really enjoyed the movie (in fact everyone I've spoken to personally has enjoyed it). That doesn't mean that I do not recognise that there are problems with the movie, but those problems did not unduly "suck enjoyment" out for me, and I...

    There isn't much proof of either if we're being honest.

    Citizen-Con 2015 (Star Citizen)

    A good example of the above is lets say at the 65 million dollar mark the acting would be motion capture, but now with the additional budget they can enhance that with full performance capture and all the extra tech that has been built around facial animation - enhancing what would have been...

    Citizen-Con 2015 (Star Citizen)

    I would say it implies none of the above, and your conspiracy theories are pretty much without merit. All it means is that the budget is ultimately going towards the game, which is where it's supposed to go in the first place. I mean if I went and said "oh well that's just cream on the top...

    Citizen-Con 2015 (Star Citizen)

    Have no idea where you came to believe that I was inferring that paying for a completed product was a bad thing? I would love to know how you came to that conclusion. The nature of crowdfunding is inherently about paying for something that is incomplete (or in some cases not even started) in...

    Citizen-Con 2015 (Star Citizen)

    It was stated that doing endless stretch goals was pointless since they kept on being broken through by the backers, that they would instead cease adding further stretch goals and that any additional monies would just be generally folded back into making the game better (for whatever value of...

    Citizen-Con 2015 (Star Citizen)

    Additionally, it's worth keeping in mind that what we've been shown and what there is currently behind closed doors are two different things, we can't really allocate $80 million (again if that figure is even correct) towards what we're just seeing now and then judging based on that (since the...
