    Favorite bad movie

    I don't think these count. Bad movies do not equal over-the-top or schlocky or odd movies, unless those movies didn't MEAN to be those things. The Room is clearly trying to be a legitimate drama, Troll 2 and the Happening are trying to be really scary movies, Road House wants to be some badass...

    Poll: Giving up gaming because you're old

    I would imagine few adults give up games BECAUSE they get old. They give up games because with age comes increased responsibility, and thus less free time to play games. In particular behemoth time investments like Skyrim. That said, when one gets even older you get more free time again...

The...

    The Big Picture: Junk Drawer Revisited

    Yeah, I was never the hugest "Big Trouble in Little China" fan personally, but it's not the first time I've disagreed a bit with Bob. I guess that tends to happen between two autonomous humans with independent thoughts and feelings. I've noticed is usually* not a big deal. *unless the...

    The Big Picture: Junk Drawer Revisited

    misterprickly, you do see the irony in your post, right? The "quit yer bitchin" (which singles out bitchin' over preference) post that ends with you bitchin' about how the Dark Knight is overrated and morons are the only ones who like it (which is, coincidentally, also super-trollish)? Just...
