My problem with non-gendered awards is that women are already undervalued in Hollywood, while having to work harder. Women actors spend most of their time emoting, while men spend it running around and blowing up stuff.

I really don’t want the preponderance of awards going to guys blowing up stuff.

I think it’s easier to use proper names where possible.

It always makes me roll my eyes when actors say “I never evicted to have a public profile.” Like, acting by definition gives you a public profile. And by definition, to be successful at acting is to be even more public. To say you didn't expect to have a public profile is to imply that you went into acting expecting…

Yes and at the Brits it just resulted in men winning. Given the Oscars’ historical problems, I think this is trading one problem for another one. 

Yeah, you’re not wrong. I’m just saying I could see a story about Daemon becoming a slightly better person and growing to finally appreciate his long ignored daughter before he dies being compelling TV. I’d go into more detail but this site doesn’t have spoiler tags or anything.

Vhagar is just that much bigger than any of the other dragons currently in play, and Aemond is just that much better at being a dragon rider than anyone besides maybe Daemon. Rhaenyra is correct to build her strategy around him. That’s what happens when a bullied kid dives into his training and no one else does.

I’m losing my grip on Daemon’s motivation. From season 1, I took Daemon as an agent of chaos who only cared about being Viserys’ heir to the extent that it got him Viserys’ attention and unsettled Daemon’s rivals. Now, after one fight with Rhaenyra, Daemon’s planning to take the throne for himself? Is he that deep in…

Nah, I won’t see it. My kids are too old. I just don’t understand why someone expects more out of this film.

Despicable Me 3 is one of the highest grossing animated films ever. Illumination understands that they don’t need to worry about quality or story or critics or RT Scores (58%!) to make money from dumb schlubs and their mouth-breathing spawn. No one asked for your jokes - these parents just need 100 minutes of A/C and…

Not. For. You

I could be wrong, but I disagree. I don’t think him entering that brothel is as big a coincidence as you’re making it seem. Remember that according to Aemond it was Aegon who first took him there so he could lose his virginity. I doubt he had any idea his brother was having therapy sessions with the woman who took his…

“Also, wood is famously flammable, so why in seven hells didn’t Baela just blast some dragon fire after them?”

Rhaenyra and someone else had a conversation about Seasmoke seeming restless. 

This is the man who gave us Grover, Elmo, Oscar, and Kermit Tully. 

I’m most excited to see if the show is going to stick to the book’s conceit that all the Tullys of this era have the names of Muppets. Lord Grover’s been mentioned several times, but his grandson Elmo and great-grandsons Kermit and Oscar may be pushing things on a TV show in a way that the book could just barely get…

I think he’s trying to drive a wedge between Aegon and Alicent. It wasn’t about the actual result of it - it was about making Aegon think that Aemond and Alicent wanted him out of the way, which I read as the reason for Aegon’s later humiliation of Aemond.

the Brackens and Blackfoots were so easily goaded into annihilating one another, weren’t they?

I hope they at least played the theme song Regurgitator wrote back in 1997 for today’s Nicole when Zac first lays eyes on her.

In that header image, Zac Efron looks older than Nicole Kidman.

agreed. but then again, it’s julia roberts. i imagine she’d be a really special aunt in hollywood.
