RICKON'S ALIVE?!?!??!?!?!??!?!

They cast Bill Brasky as the Mountain?!

Are we the only two people here who like the Iron Islanders? And the Drowned God in particular? I love those crazy bastards, not powerful enough to be a legitimate threat to run everything but just powerful enough to make everything immeasurably worse for all else involved.

Hugely seconded. Nestoris is a badass, I love the idea of him repossessing Westeros.

God DAMN it Sonny, you do not get to fuck up again. Maybe he's in there for a storyline on ProPublica's investigation into New Orleans' unconstitutional anti-scruffiness statute.

Ugh yeah, those penalties. I got in a little late and did a double take when the announcers said some time in the third quarter that the Bills were at 14 already. And good point about Spiller. I'm just worried (because I am a Bills fan) that we're overrating this loss — the Patriots were TERRIBLE out there and we…

I came to the band late, with All Ages and No Substance (in retrospect, that is the best possible way to listen to No Substance, not knowing how lame it is), but I can see historically how Generator could have been underrated and dismissed at the time. It stretches out a bit and doesn't have the zip of Suffer or…

Top 3 Bad Religion album? I can make that argument.

@avclub-1572896563ee3d0d1269c8f7c9fe34cb:disqus the Simpsons analogy is a fantastic one.

Glad to see the love for White Trash, NOFX could always back up the goofiness with hooks. "Bob" is stupid catchy.

I've been harping on Paymer for Random Roles for ages. I need Bartleby anecdotes!

Apparently us Pidgeon-haters are the outliers here! She plays "enigmatic" as "smug" and it drive me up the wall that Hoffman's character in this movie is supposed to be interested in her, and that that is not a terrible idea.

I don't think you've quite got it. Jackie Chan is not serious. Jackie Chan is not brooding. Jackie Chan is … a clown. A clown who can't get a decent gig and is reduced to being the opening act in a criminal friendly-club in in the bad part of town. He's backstage when a vigilante nutjob breaks in and starts kicking…

That is prime Jesse Pinkman tweak-face.

BREAKING: AFFLECK TO STAR IN REMAKES OF SPEED, CREEPSHOW

Brolin could be a great Harvey Bullock.

Or Lumet's Before The Devil Knows You're Dead.

That's the French Revolution one, right? I've heard interesting things, I think the long New Yorker profile says Mantel actually gives Robespierre and the gang the consideration due to failed ideologues rather than taking the typical tack of demonizing them. I've been going through other writers lately, I need to get…

Co-signing all the above thoughts on Killing Them Softly. Dammit Dominik, settle yourself down and let us enjoy the crime.
