From a cinematic perspective, they emphasize her being afraid of the Hulk because it's important that they make the Hulk seem scary. Black Widow isn't afraid of anyone else in the movie, so her being afraid of the Hulk is a signal to the audience that they should be afraid of the Hulk. From...

Uhhh..... Budget/time issues are ALWAYS why there is a clip show. Creative people don't actually like doing them, and everyone knows the audience hates them. The only clip show I'm aware of that wasn't either a rushed/last-minute compromise or an attempt to make the best out of a low budget was...

Great video. I've spent a lot of time thinking about how these old movements paved the way for other more unseemly movements. Without the 90's fight against censorship, Gamer's certainly wouldn't have had such an aggressive attitude during the "games as art" debate (the thing's I've heard people...

Exactly. He wasn't a nice person or a good person, sure, but he wasn't special. People like him just kind of show up at a certain point in a medium's history. I blew him way out of proportion, and I feel like I wasn't alone in that.

Personally, I hated Jack Thompson. I don't mean I disagreed with him, and I don't mean I dispassionately thought he was a bad person. I hated this guy on a deeply personal level, like he was attacking me specifically. I thought of him as a symbol of everything wrong with the world.I would seek...

The only real way to explain Gamergate's current form is with a broad timeline of events. 1. Eron Gjoni, ex-boyfriend of controversial videogame developer Zoe Quinn, releases a blog alleging that she cheated on him with five other men, including a writer from Kotaku and her boss. 2. A...

Digital distribution isn't better than film distribution. However, without the money from distributing films, the houses that produce 35mm film are going out of business. That means you won't be able to use film to SHOOT movies (an important distinction), which is going to kind of suck. Right...

Umm... Harrasment IS always the fault of one side. That's kind of part of the definition.

Am I crazy, or has Bob been exceptionally insightful these past couple of weeks? OT: The "internet is the new world" metaphor makes sense, but that only covers the psychology. Just because two conflicts are started for the same reasons doesn't mean they will end the same way.

Actually, I think it is a typo. From Wikipedia: "Americium (/ˌæməˈrɪsiəm/ am-ə-ris-ee-əm) is a transuranic radioactive chemical element that has the symbol Am and atomic number 95." It has 95 protons.

I'm sorry Bob, it's actually Buncha Crunch that will be premixed with popcorn, Reese's Pieces would just be weird.

The only character I want in that I'm actually worried might get the axe is Sonic. With Sonic and Megaman as the two third party character's, I feel like the game would cover basically all of the big classic franchises. If Jigglypuff stays as nerfed as she did in Brawl I wouldn't mind her...

Something being overwritten means that the style is so complicated and overlong that you start to lose sight of the story. You are assaulted with so much verbiage that the story becomes hard to follow. You are investing your mental energy in figuring out WHAT people are trying to say, which...

Although I mostly agree with you, I'm afraid I have disagree with you on the idea that Freddy vs Jason is the BEST of both series. If I were building a list, it would probably go: Nightmare on Elm Street Jason Lives Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors Wes Craven's new Nightmare...

Someone's a film critic hulk fan. :)
