Man, now I really want to see Ramsay's death scene with the hounds replaced by kittens. Internet, I await…

I'm reminded of A Fish Called Wanda…

I had an idea for a U2 cover band that only covered their crappier material. It would, of course, be called "Bad."

Well, the article says that they're basing it on the first season. And logistically, the later seasons spent more and more time outside of the bar, so they'd be harder to work with onstage anyway.

So, have the inevitable animated GIFs of Ramsay's death scene, with kittens replacing the dogs, started showing up yet?

Yes. Of all things, it reminded me of the first Mortal Kombat movie, where Shang Tsung chooses Sonya, his weakest possible opponent, for the final match. He may be an immortal demigod with superpowers, but he's not dumb enough to take unnecessary chances by squaring off against Liu Kang if he doesn't have to.

(1) Do we know for sure that this really was something that Sansa planned ahead of time? Is it equally likely that Littlefinger purposely held the Vale knights back until just the right moment? He could have had his scouts just out of sight, waiting til the battle was nearly over before giving the signal to attack.

I just finished 'Fortune's Formula' by William Poundstone, a non-fiction book about the early days of quant investing with detours into information theory, card counting, stock market manipulation, and the Mob. It's really got a little bit of everything. Highly recommended.

RIP Prince Be… I think history will judge PM Dawn very favorably. I just listened to The Bliss Album and it holds up incredibly well.

I'm pretty sure that the Discordia Principia would be cool that way. Hail Eris?

Season 11, also featuring LaToya Jackson, Star Jones, NeNe Leakes, Jose Canseco, and David Cassidy.

Ah yes, quite possibly the greatest moment in TV history. The only thing funnier than Gary Busey's "I find weirder things than you in my breakfast cereal" non-reaction is the fact that it somehow falls to Lil Jon, the douchebag from Sugar Ray, and John "Who the Fuck is John Rich?" Rich to defuse the situation.

Or Louis CK getting all worked up until "just fucking swear, you fat piece-of-shit asshole!" explodes out of him.

Carry on, Jim Gaffigan. Meanwhile, where do we post our anti-Big Jay Oakerson comments now?

It did spawn a nice moment when Oprah asked Ali McGraw what that line meant to her 30 years later, and McGraw admitted that she had absolutely no idea what it was supposed to mean, and that if she'd been a more experienced actress, she probably would have asked the director to clarify it.

I can see your point, but at the same time, it appears there are a few instances where the existence of HT actually pushed the Marvel filmmakers to try a little harder than they otherwise might have. There was that nice line from one of the Russo Bros about the making of Winter Soldier, along the lines of "ok, what…

Hatesong's going away until it learns to comport itself more appropriately and shit.

And that we all have the same five emotions, and only those five.

I dunno, I usually get a kick out of Honest Trailers. It's clear that they've got genuine affection for most of the movies they take on… well, the ones that aren't screamingly awful, at least. And I like the recent trend of direct interaction with the moviemakers, whether it's bringing in the Russo Brothers to comment…

I don't think so; I only saw it the one time. I'm sure it's no masterpiece, but I remember enjoying the hell out of it when I saw it. And the horny monkey attack scene will never not be funny.
