Unpopular opinion: I think Lyanna Mormont is overrated. Yes, she’s a great character (bla bla bla, she’s a badass little girl throwing weight around in an overwhelmingly medieval patriarchal world), but I think the Internet went way too nuts over her. Beyond her stoicism and hardness, there’s no real *character* there…

While it was SO CATHARTIC to see the Night King and his army destroyed, I agree with you on this: the stakes seem relatively low now. Also, shit! Cersei got her way, and I was looking forward to watching her realize she made a cosmic miscalculation. She truly has the upper hand on the North now, and Dany’s army is all…

I just can’t believe this is a TV show. Even in 2019, what an unbelievable spectacle.

I agree with all of this. While it was fucking RAD to watch the Night King eat it, and subsequently see his whole army just power down, I’m confused about what that means for the stakes of the next three episodes. Cersei got what she wanted, and that enrages me. Dany’s army has been effectively wiped out (although I…

I’m a bit disappointed that the White Walkers were dealt with this soon (it means Cersei got her way, and it kind of lowers the stakes for the last three episodes), but damn was it cathartic to seem them all just burst apart or shut down. The first 20 minutes of battle were ruthless and soul-crushing; a relentless…

Two weeks... try six hours! Losing her virginity, slaying a bunch of White Walkers, and killing the Night King. DAMN BITCH

This comment needs to be in the National Archives

he says that he was trying to write a really serious film and Verhoeven wasn’t interested in making one

I’ve seen the HBO one. And I don’t necessarily think it scratches the itch; I think there’s room for many “grifter” documentaries and podcasts. There’s both Fyre Festival documentaries (both of which I’ve seen), tons of stories about the Hipster Grifter, the JT Leroy story, and a great movie called My Friend…

I heard someone once describe them as looking like the little metal shavings they put in those Wooly Willy toys - the ones you have to move around with a magnetic pen. Very apt, I think.

I totally agree with you. I just also think the horny 15-year-old I’m talking about is Verhoeven.

Reese Witherspoon is a) too old and b) too Alabama.

I think I’m just gunna use the F word...

I love Kyle MacLachlan; I think he is the sweetest guy who is very endearingly proud of all the work that he’s done. His Twitter is full of old pics from projects he’s worked on and lots of Twin Peaks memes.

Hi, you need to write a recap of this movie.

I mean, the 2016 Election was embarrassing for me, but not because I was encouraging people to vote.

Late on this, but yes. I subscribed because I liked the idea of quick news briefs that I could read all at once (this was years ago, before the glory of news push notifications). But it reminded me too much of the girl who referred me to it (and her clique of friends): impossibly pretty, perky, kinda dumb post-grad…

I could see Chloe Grace Moretz playing her if she could nail the accent...

That quote reminds me of Teresa Giudice, who asked to be sent to a certain Connecticut prison because it was the one that inspired Orange is the New Black’s Litchfield. Because, you know, prison is just like a poverty-themed all inclusive resort and rich people can pick and choose the one they go to.

This, add to it people who do finances for the elderly. My stepdad’s mom isn’t super rich, but very-very-comfortable rich, and her “money lady” made off with something like $8,000. Not the same as Anna Delvey, but it made me realize that there are tons of old ladies out there who - thanks to never having a job and…
