This is Game of Thrones at his best: when a hero - and I use this term very loosely - makes a single mistake that has grave repercussions for multiple characters at once.

I don’t approve of Downey’s comment but someone should tell Inarritu that going to another country and referring to an element of that country’s culture as “cultural genocide” isn’t going to incite people of that country to help you make you feel more at home.

You could argue that Mass Effect 1 could’ve added more diversity to their planets but I overall agree with this video that “there ain’t a lot to see out there” is sort of the point.

I’m not referring to the quality of the film. I’m talking about the behind the scenes conflict.

By “fictional historical drama”, I mean that Martin is more interested in the life in medieval times than the fantasy elements. Yes, he was inspired by some real events here and there, but that’s not what I was referring to.

I’m a QA and if those quotes are representative of the rest of the interview, I am not offended by this. I don’t think he’s talking about completely replacing humans by machines - developers will always need flesh and blood QA - but the long, repetitive tasks are a big issue, not just for the production but also for…

I’m not denying things are going very well right now, nor am I predicting an imminent downfall. I’m just saying that if another behind the scenes conflict involving her is rumored in her future, people won’t be so quick to take her side. A “diva” reputation has to start somewhere.

Star Wars and Star Trek are always compared to each other but probably shouldn’t be. I feel the same about these two: LOTR is (mostly) for the whole family and GOT is for adults only. Also, the former is about fantasy while the latter is essentially a fictional historical drama with fantasy elements peppered in it.

I realize that it’s fashionable to dump on Wilde these days but I wouldn’t be surprised if that story ended up hurting Pugh more in the long term.

Part of the reason Blanchett can take such pride in movies like Carol or Tár is that they explore new horizons for how sexuality gets portrayed onscreen—and teach viewers those horizons are possible. Blanchett is right that both films don’t solely ride on their lesbian protagonists, but that fact is a lesson in…

Ok, that show is definitely not for me so I’m leaving here. It doesn’t make me laugh and the tone is too light, even for me. Would it kill them to have a little longer episodes and develop their characters a bit more?

This wasn’t the greatest sketch in SNL history but I get that they were trying to capture the sadness of the moment while also paying homage to Leonard Cohen, who had died that week. This was not a point as low as having for host Paris Hilton, Donald Trump or Elon Musk.

I miss Roger Ebert. The discourse was so much more civilized when he was still with us, and this column is a good reminder why.

“The final images of the movie, to me, are not deconstructing the myth of Luke Skywalker, they’re building it, and they’re him embracing it,” Johnson continues. “They’re him absolutely defying the notion of, ‘Throw away the past,’ and embracing what actually matters about his myth and what’s going to inspire the…

Whether they like playing The Flash or not, I’m pretty sure the film will be the last we see of them in that role. There’s a lot of perks with being a movie star, but it comes with a non-negligible amount of stress and responsibilities. Ezra Miller is not good for The Flash, and The Flash isn’t good for Ezra Miller.…

This isn’t a “normal” conversation, this is an interview. Of course, she’s going to be diplomatic. Not everyone likes to start a public feud.

The thing would have failed even if Whedon’s reputation had remained pristine. Some people seem to think that you can somehow keep the good, remove the bad, and make a perfect show. The flaw with that thinking is that what worked worked that well because it was new and unexpected.

It’s not the number, it’s the intensity. I like many famous people but I don’t like any of them enough to go harass someone else on their behalf. At the stage she is in her career, it would be very surprising if Stenberg could create that kind of reaction. Which, I will mention for clarity, is absolutely not what she…

I agree. I like the character but my problem is, she’s not really needed in the MCU. Especially with Deadpool coming soon with an R-Rated element that makes him stand out a lot more.

I feel like this is the one time where the A.V. Club’s snark would have been appropriate. I don’t know why it’s missing because everyone involved is fucking stupid and deserves to be laughed at.
