Sleepless night at the Escapist
I'm really starting to like MovieBob.
Been going through a bunch of his The Big Picture, and it's kind of like watching The Nostalgia Critic or some other TGWTG show, but with actual good, intelligent points instead of (sometimes) cheap jokes based around either just poking fun at something silly in a movie or kind of his own fame and cult of personality (or personalities in this case).
I don't necessarily dislike the jokes, but I just like MovieBob better because his show feels... Well, I can't say more intelligent (mostly because that implies stupidity on the part of TWGTG), but more intellectual and educated.
MovieBob tends to have more subtle humor and I almost always feel like I learned something interesting after watching an episode, which is pretty much the best kind of entertainment. You have fun AND you learn something.
That doesn't really happen when you're just watching TGWTG, say, make fun of Alec Baldwin going "sparkle sparkle sparkle" before blowing a train whistle and disappearing in a burst of gold dust in the Thomas the Tank Engine movie.
(And "learning" that Alec Baldwin was in the Thomas the Tank Engine movie doesn't count. You know what I mean.)
Basically, my point is:
Watch The Big Picture. It's fun.
