I agree with you quite a bit. The only death that really moved me on this show was the HODOR scene, but I still didn't start bawling over it. I find that people — pop culture people especially — are very, very capable of expressing themselves regarding fictional characters, but reluctant to do so regarding people they…

The Blackfish also seemed like the kind of guy who would go down in a glorious last stand rather than dying offscreen. So don't get your hopes up.

I wonder how big it is. I've been interested lately in the size and scope of Westeros, because I feel like it takes characters mere DAYS to ride to various areas on horseback in some instances, then in others, it takes them months.

He's also the only being taller than The Mountain on the show.

Yeah, it's like 47% undead at this point, but not a gargoyle in sight!

Says you!

Huh. And here I was thinking the Sand Snakes would insist on a four-way marriage.

False. Rex Reed watched it in a theater: http://observer.com/2012/04…

I sometimes wonder if Ben Stiller's character in Tropic Thunder is based on Carrey's career. I can only hope he never goes full retard.

I like the weird dance-off between hot vampire lady and hot virginal girlfriend. And the fact that Carrey and hot virginal girlfriend apparently bang it out in less than a minute in the coffin and look all satisfied afterwards.

I only took issue with the Menendez thing. Everything else you wrote is perfectly valid. He was not a household name before the era you reference, and I only watched Once Bitten, High Strung, et al after he was famous. I wasn't allowed to watch In Living Color because my terrible mother thought it was annoying.

I Love You Philip Morris is flat-out wonderful. I don't think enough people have seen that movie.

It evoked a need for everyone my age to say, "Bumblebee tuna! (Your balls are showing.)" for about six months.

Creepy, Goat.

Of course they have. Check out the stock index. Mass shootings are great for business.

Oh, for sure. Of course it's hard to do a shitty cover of a Prince song, but the enthusiasm, choral quality, and youthful energy of that cover are what make it a success.

The Des'ree song on it taught me what love is, I swear.

Did she contract it by eating Macho Cheese?

One of my favorite songs of all time. I say this unironically.

I don't think anyone is under the impression that sex with Hef would be fun. Still, it sounded like they were just extremely warm fleshlights to him — like he didn't touch them with anything except for his dick. Just dispassionate, immobile, and otherwise transactional. You would think a self-described playboy would…
