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

    Bob, good episode. Heck, just based on the number of comments you received I probably could have figured that out without even watching it. I'm glad you covered more than "it is just a bad movie" though, or I'd have gotten bored. - As for the folks who seem to think people doing job x, y...

    Fantastic Four Trailer Reveals Radical Re-Imagining

    This trailer doesn't look all that bad to me, not like the previous FF trailers did. Sure it's a bit angsty, but it also feels a bit like a hard sci-fi story that turns into a super hero story. I'm great with an alternate origins story. The original FF origin was printed in 61, right? That...

    Eggs of Ultron: What's Going on the New Avengers 2 Trailer

    I bet Scarlet Witch uses her scarlet witchery to turn Ultron RED! I know it seems silly, but that's about as deep as the movies have been and it won't be any dumber than the villains in any of the Iron Man movies. Who knows? Maybe she's responsible for Hulk needing Visine as well.

    User Ratings Determine Worst Board Games are Family Favorites

    Most games can have some value, depending on the audience. Games have been used as tools for as long as games have existed. Some games teach language, others teach color recognition, while some just teach the patience of taking turns and not touching the bits belonging to others. Snakes and...

    Escape to the Movies: Taken 3 - The One Where Liam Neeson Beats People Up

    Oh, gotcha. The commercial looked... alright, if not inspiring. I'll be there to see Ant Man on opening weekend, but I won't be terribly shocked if it is a bit of a hot mess. That would be a shame because if there was one franchise that could afford to pull an "iffy" movie, it'd be MCU. If...

    Four Ways The Legend of Korra Respected Its Younger Viewers

    Heck, I'd like an Avatar mini series or animated move. Perhaps one focusing on an earlier avatar. I'm watching TLOC now, and it's good if not great. But the world changes in the time between the first series and this one are a bit unsettling. It feels like they keep referring to the previous...

    Escape to the Movies: Taken 3 - The One Where Liam Neeson Beats People Up

    If the number of responses to your posts drop, it's because the website is sluggish when pushing the "comments" button. It would have been nice if Taken 3 were like Die Hard 3 - but yeah, January. When I was a kid I loved the Paddington Bear books. I'm shocked an pleased if it turns out...

    The Big Picture: The Terrible Twenty Films of 2014 Part 2

    Sorbo has gone kinda nuts, I'm not really surprised that he'd be in anything just to get more screen time. That said, the movie is his kind of crazy.

    The Big Picture: The Terrible Twenty Films of 2014 Part 2

    So, once again, not the worst movies just the most disappointing. Some of these weren't even truly bad but just didn't live up to their potential. Edit to add - yeah, some of them were horrible, but we didn't need two episodes of this.

    10 Golden-Age Marvel Allies We Could Meet in Agent Carter

    We haven't seen the Human Torch wandering around; I'm worried the FX budget might not stand up to that, but hope I'm wrong. I'd be shocked if there weren't some super powered folk, or how would they know to be annoyed when people get code names? Rare yes, but unheard of? Not to Shield. I...

    The Big Picture: The Terrible Twenty Films of 2014 Part 1

    Yeah, Interstellar wasn't a groundbreaking masterpiece, but it was pretty good. The hard Sci-fi parts were good and the "we have encountered something we don't understand" parts were interesting if a bit of a state change. Interstellar felt like a Niven & Pournelle style disaster story with some...

    Escape to the Movies: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - There and Back Again

    I'll be pleased and surprised if I feel longer versions are better because I've felt the first two Hobbit movies would have been better with more cutting. They felt so bloated that after I felt like I'd tried to eat 50 pounds of sweet rolls. My hope until this point had been that they'd...

    What Happened to Ridley Scott?

    That happens to far too many creative folks. Moffat was good when he was writing Doctor Who, before he started helming the ship. Artists sometimes need limits to produce masterpieces.

    Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Mid-Season Finale Doesn't Really Surprise

    Trip was a shining star at the end last season, but they've done jack-all with him this season. Maybe something strange will bring him back; on the one hand I'd like him to be as vital now as he was earlier, but I'd rather not have him lurking around. Mack also rocks, and as many others on...

    The Big Picture: Off Target - Don't Censor Me Part 2

    Moviebob getting upset about having to repeat himself is like Michael Bay getting upset for having to make crappy movies with lots of explosions and shaky cam. Other than that, good episode, if a little obvious.
