Hollywood strives to make movies look as real as possible: after all, The Matrix wouldn’t have been nearly as convincing if it’d been filmed in some guy’s basement. To make that magic, sets are often elaborately and solidly built. So elaborately and solidly, in fact, that after filming is over, those sets keep being used, [...]

Movies are a window to another world, 90 minutes for us viewers to switch off our brains and be entertained. However, when you take a closer look at some movies, the actions of the characters seems downright stupid, especially when there are obvious, much better options available to them. For example. 10. Jurassic Park: Why [...]

If you’ve spent any time whatsoever online, you’ll know that it is a breeding ground for arguments about, well, anything. Here are ten argument techniques you should look out for people using, both online and in real life, and why they make for a poor substitute for actual facts and reasoned arguments. 10. Straw Man [...]

As much fun as the Star Wars live action films are, there are two things which are more fun. First, obviously, is making die hard Star Wars fans scream at you for your discussion of their precious universe. I try to do this whenever possible. The second is any attempt to transpose the series for [...]

Using what is considered to be “accepted knowledge” about ghosts and haunting, as well as the Star Wars Universe in general, it can be argued, simply by watching the movies (not the expanded universe or novels,) that Yoda was ALREADY DEAD by the time that Luke got to Dagobah.

Darth Vader needed to find the plans stored within R2-D2. It stands to reason that Vader would have been desperate enough to use any means necessary, in order to secure those plans. “Any means necessary” could have included one of the most notorious bounty hunters in the Galaxy: Boba Fett. In that a bounty hunter [...]

Kids love to play with action figures. Adults do, too- they just call themselves collectors. Some action figures are awesome; but, let’s just say that some come out …wrong. Wrong in ways that leave you scratching your head decades later. A set of criteria was used to develop this list. First, no women. It just [...]

For some reason, movie studios aren’t content with the millions of dollars they make off of hit movies. Even after the avalanche of money that a hit movie makes, studio executives try to milk every single penny out of a franchise. There are ill-conceived sequels, over the top merchandising, and, worst of all, terrible cartoon [...]

Although they’re great for killing time, most people don’t think of games as being especially dramatic. Sure they may be exciting to play and they may occasionally expose long simmering family resentments, but mostly they’re just a bit of fun when there’s nothing else to do. Nobody wants to watch other people playing them, right? [...]
