I nearly did a spit-take reading this thread. Pwned indeed. From what it sounds like, Arkham is like a playable, darker version of Batman: TAS, which will, ahem, fucking own. Just out of curiosity, what system are you playing on, astro, because I've heard the graphics are better on the 360?

Hey, Cuddly Toy, I liked Evolution. Granted, the only time I've ever been able to make it through more than 20 minutes was when I was 11 years old and at a sleepover, but I distinctly remember good things about it. It's a lot like Ghostbusters. Except with aliens, and no Ghostbusters, but the principal is there.

Destroyer
I've never really been able to get in to Destroyer, despite being a huge fan of The New Pornographers. It probably doesn't help that whenever I hear the name Destroyer I assume it's some heavy metal group, before I remember otherwise. Name association also almost ruined the Cunninlynguists for me. …Yep, no…

Mew
Is this supposed to be like the noise the purty little kittens make? Or is it the pokemon? Or is it some kind of Danish word that means something really awesome? I'm not going to listen to the music 'till someone gives me answers, dammit!

Ouch

A year or so back I took advantage of one of those free 10 day trial offers for WoW, just to see what all the fuss was about. For about a week, all I did with my free time was sit there and play WoW, and it got to the point that I dreamed about it too. Once I realized how utterly sad that was, I deleted it from my…

Tom Berenger's rocking with his cock out, like he always does. It's not like his career peaked with Platoon or anything, right? I mean, lets list all the great roles he has had:

Snark sounds like Snarf, which is a much better word, and also happens to be the finest member of the Thundercats. Also, though I know sports programming is beneath many hipsters, anyone else who watches Around The Horn may find this amusing, while I am thinking of random things : http://stufftightpeoplelike…

Didn't he also go full retard in that Shakespeare movie? You know, the one where all the retards dress like ninnies and go around talking all funny on the beach? Good actor, but going all out like that twice is just poor career planning.

To be fair, everything looks like a video game on my shitty computer screen. But I acknowledge the shenanigans, and will walk away in shame.

Is there a review in the works for Batman: Arkham Asylum? Because I've been hearing awesome things, but unless the AV Club tells me its okay to buy something I get all nervous and panicky and the store employees ask me to leave.

The Wolfman did look like fun, even if the director is the man behind Hidalgo, which is pretty much the antithesis of fun. It did have motherfucking Anthony Hopkins, which immediately gives it an edge on Avatar. I honestly thought I was mistakenly watching the trailer for the Avatar video game until about halfway…

I got a sad robot that told me the video was no longer available. But based on the reactions here, I am just going to pretend that I watched it, loved it, and am now really pumped for this movie to come out.

Awesome
I love Christopher Guest movies, and somehow I have never seen (nor heard of, I believe) this. It sounds amazing, though, and I will have to check it out - for free!

I didn't mean to imply that the plot and character development couldn't be each forwarded at the same time. I was trying to say that (as La Pipe noted) the way the show balanced all its storytelling with its other elements seemed off in Season 4. It's not so much about the number of episodes pertaining to the…

Yeah, I just went and watched Epitaph One for the first time, and I am so pumped for Dollhouse season 2. Reminded me a lot of Serenity, in its themes and the presence of *SPOILERS FOR DOLLHOUSE* mindless people with axes and various melee weapons.

I actually think that one of the main problems with Buffy seasons 4 and 5 is that they don't focus enough on the Big Bad arc. Don't get me wrong, I love the character interactions and themes, and I actually liked Season 4 quite a bit. However, the Big Bad arc is essentially the plot of the show. Every show needs…

Oh, and I sincerely hope that Noel wasn't insulting the music of Marvel comics cartoons. The 90's X-Men theme is fucking kick-ass, and I will throw down with anyone who says otherwise.

And the funny thing is you can basically mark the point in the movie where it switches from somewhat interesting sci-fi to generic Bay action movie. The end half of The Island is one of the most egregious examples of Bay's sucking, since you can tell that he had no plot planned out except for: shit blows up,…

If only it were just 13 year old boys that enjoyed MBMs; the range realistically extends well through high school. However, I would argue that Pearl Harbor is simply incapable of being enjoyed, as Trey Parker and Matt Stone have noted very humorously in song form, and is a steaming pile of crap (Tora! Tora! Tora! is…
