Man I miss Jerry. What a great composer.

Excalibur is fabulous. Complete fantasy, but it's a great one. Also Nicol Williamson is the best Merlin ever. And that includes the one who goes to Hawaii in The Sword in the Stone.

I like the Jackson movie just fine (be better about 45 minutes shorter, though), but the surely the 1933 original is the quintessential Kong movie? Also a sequel to that movie ("Son of Kong") came out the same *year*, so it's not like this is a new phenomenon.

Wait, wait, Nicolas Cage is in this?! I wonder which Cage will show up for work.

Wouldn't say Hitch just because there was a slow decline post Psycho, when he was 60 years old. You could make a fair argument that his best work was between the ages of 40-60.

Nothing. JFK is a great film.

Even if Stone thinks it is, I doubt any serious person thinks JFK is history. It's fiction. But it's pretty damn enthralling fiction, IMHO.

Is there a problem with that? I can't believe how much they recaptured that 50s technicolour look. In the not-Lawrence Olivier scenes it was uncanny.

You're a Micahel Kamen fan and don't know the score for Prince of Thieves? I thought it was one of his best known works. In a similar swashbuckling vein, his score for the 1993 Three Musketeers is also great.

Except for maybe one or two scenes I honestly don't think he was trying at all. He just sounds like himself. To be fair, it's not like Christian Slater was trying either.

It's not too far off a commute to work on Sydney roads, to be fair.

Homeland season 1

I've just started rewatching the show and am in the process of deciding whether I'm going to rewatch s03e09…it's a tough one.

It's certainly much better than the Asterix movies *shudder*. Proof that some things just aren't meant to be live action.

Director's Cut! Then Miniseries if you like.

Isn't that kind of the point, though? Cersei's position is unsustainable for the exact reasons you mentioned. It was a desperate play that led to a short term victory, but will lead to her downfall pretty darn soon.

I did, but Margaery :(

Few inconsistencies aside, Sansa was pretty great this year. Not something I'd ever though I'd say, but there it is.

I agree in some cases, but not with Unella. I think they deliberately give us some catharsis (since Unella is horrible and Cersei is correct in her assessment), and then Cersei goes to far with her sadistic revengelust. We're not meant to be that happy about it, and I think that's a good thing.
