Without spoiling anything, I'd say the best way to see this is to enter it blind. Easier said than done considering where this comment is posted. The film's pacing is great and you owe it to the film to give it time to flesh out all of its ideas, which unfortunately the trailer/this review...

I watched this review and like others, I've noticed a trend in Bob's content. I'd address the points in a longer post, but frankly, I don't want to. My personal belief is that the best course of action for Bob is to watch movies from an objective standpoint primarily and detach from the agendas...

I agree with the thread title, but not exactly for the same reasons outlined in the opening post. Soda is the "worst thing" you can drink, sweets are the "worst thing" you can eat. Smartass comments from people saying "sulfuric acid" or the likes are detracting from the discussion at hand and...

There's only one scenario I'd wholeheartedly get behind this cure and that's if it was a "vaccination" that could be taken past puberty by the homo/trans person in question. In this sense, it'd be possible for some people to deal with the societal pressures of not being Cis/straight by giving...

The original Ninja Gaiden actually approached difficulty very well and managed to have ball-busting difficulty for most people. It achieved this in much the same way as any other game of its type (increased enemy damage, increased enemy health) but it also switched up the enemies and locations...

"I'm a feminist, I fight for the equal representation of women in the workforce, healthy appearing female role models in the media and the right for Princess Peach to not be captured all the time" A strawman argument, perhaps, but it doesn't deflect the fact that we have a movement asking for...

...but he has a fair point. Sexual objectification and mistreatment of women is present in video games, but they're usually to the tune of RapeLay or Rance Quest where sexual objectification is the core element of gameplay. A sexually attractive woman in a video game is no need to go up in arms...

Games usually do a "don't ask, don't tell" with most of their protagonists/characters and the model works very well. If it's integral to the plot, many will see it as pushing an agenda and that this "experience" can be told better in movies and books where more time can be spent on the...

The last game I bought... probably hasn't been played yet. I have, however, been running through my gaming collection and cleared Borderlands 1 at long last (goty edition). I enjoyed the heck out of it once I got past the Marley and Moe mission (the only part in the game where the level...

I'm actually quite tired of Bob's hating on Man of Steel and The Dark Knight Rises. He finds a way to inject it into every other episode of either this or Escape to the Movies. I get that he didn't like the films for whatever reason (TDKR was too long/dwarfed by the prequel and MoS wasn't...

I've got to agree with some other replies. The film may have been the weakest in the trilogy, but it's still a fantastic film. Anyone who saw the entire trilogy in one sitting likely has a lower opinion on the film than it's worth and owe it a revisit (myself included). The ending was a bit of a...

If people want more creative freedom in video games, we actually need to deter from the backlash of "this game is sexist/racist/whatever". Simple marketing dictates that if there's a demand for a certain game it will sell. A games developer should be free to include whatever they want into a...

When I say simple, I mean simple mechanics relative to their genre. A good example of this is Crash Bandicoot 1 vs Crash Bandicoot 3. In Crash 1, you can spin, jump and move. In Crash 3, you can crawl, slide, double jump, super spin/hover, have a bazooka and I think maybe 1-2 more powerups...

Generally? No. When my Charmander is on 5 HP, my last repel has run out and I'm charging through a long cave section praying I can escape from the endless onslaught of Zubats? HELL FUCKING YES I MIND.

I won't lie, I'm tired of Johnny Depp's gimmick by this point. As Captain Jack Sparrow, he was entertaining and the second film actually gave him some sort of character development. Then he played the same sort of role in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which was okay. Then there was Alice...
