    MovieBob leaving The Escapist

    I think you meant to say: In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York city the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories. EDIT...

    Escape to the Movies: Kingsman: The Secret Service - Can Lightning Strike Again?

    This is Bob's last review? But he and Jim were the whole reason I came to this site. Bummer.

    Swatter Arrested, Could Face Five Years in Prison

    Anybody who uses the anonymous handle "Framed God" just immediately makes me giggle at them. Maliciously. But seriously, I have enough problems with the police. Anybody who treats a SWAT team like a prank honestly deserves more than five years. Getting wrongfully raided by the police...

    The Walking Dead: Darkest Before The Dawn (of the Dead)

    That was particularly painful.

    League of Legends Tournament: LGBT Players Have "Unfair Advantage" - Update

    Uh-oh, they're on to the fact that we queer folk have superpowers.

    The Big Picture: American Sniper Sucks (And It's Okay To Admit That)

    I like how people keep trying to say this movie is such an accurate representation of a soldier's life when it's not even an accurate representation of Kyle's life. Others have brought up the "don't speak ill of the dead" reasoning behind leaving out some of the more controversial aspects of the...

    Black Widow's Origin Explored in Agent Carter

    This episode was as satisfying as anything. Seriously. I've been enjoying the show since it started, but this episode is easily the best so far. I didn't really get romance vibes from Peggy and Thompson, but anybody else notice some chemistry between her and Dugan? I should go ahead and...

    The Nightly Show - Not "Just" The Sequel to The Daily

    I think my biggest problem with the "Keep it 100" segment is that guests are actually encouraged to play against audience expectation and surprise them. Playing to the audience seems like the exact opposite of keeping it 100. As it stands, my larger problem with the panelists is that they'll...

    Let's prove movie bob wrong : derive a moral from American Sniper

    The moral of the story is: All Bradley Cooper movies would be improved if he was playing a CG raccoon.

    Poll: The 12-year old Screaming Kid Myth

    I gave up online multiplayer a couple years ago because I realized that the sheer volume of harassment was just draining my energy. These days, a solo campaign let's me actually immerse in a game without having to put up with someone dealing with their temper tantrum by screaming at me to show...

    Fantastic?

    To break Respectable Critic Decorum and stoop to a food metaphor; if you take away the cheese, the crust and the sauce, then serve the remaining pepperoni atop a bowl of ramen... can you really still call it "pizza?" Culinary school interns like to call it "deconstruction" mostly because they...

    Who is the best fictional swordsman of all time?

    EDIT AGAIN TO MENTION: Read Snow Crash if you haven't. Do it. You'll love it. Do you love anime? Read Snow Crash. Trust me. Here I go. God help us. Spoilers follow. So Hiro did code a lot of the rules into the Metaverse, which he mentions in his swordfight right before he first sees Da5id...

    Who is the best fictional swordsman of all time?

    See, he's immortal and super-strong, so I guess Benedict from Nine Princes in Amber can't count but goddamn he is awesome. Otherwise, wouldn't, uh, Swordsman count? Didn't he train Hawkeye or something? Oh, right, I forgot: Hiro Protagonist.

    Dan Aykroyd Thinks Female Ghostbusters Are "Magnificent"

    And that's why only radfems watched Sucker Punch. (of course I know you were kidding, I just couldn't resist.)

    Movies all females must watch before they die (and come back to life as super scary zombies)

    I think someone else mentioned it, I just didn't see Heathers brought up yet. I forgot, also watch My Girl but only because, y'know, all the scary bees.
