Not that anyone will see this since this comment is a week late, but who is your second-favourite book character?
Naturally, I assume Hodor is number one for everybody, but my number two is the Hound. He's a ferocious fighter, hates his crazy-ass brother, never seemed to like Joffrey or Cersei that much, and gives

I forgot to mention MISSION HILL. It was pretty hilarious, but ultimately destroyed by the fact that FUTURAMA told the same kind of stories, but in space!

Hell yeah on PINKY AND THE BRAIN, the best thing to come out of ANIMANIACS. Also, the MEN IN BLACK cartoon was criminally underrated. They should just have made the movie sequel based on the cartoons.

Three years later and no one has yet seconded Tobias' endorsement of PROFIT? Come on, Adrian Pasdar as some weird corporate exec who sleeps in a cardboard box at night? I still remember the final preview, where some chick falls for Jim Profit, "coming next week". Hmm, I wonder if I can find it on Youtube…

It's pretty easy to find cinematically obscure wars. Let's see: the War of the Pacific, the African World War, the Khmer-Champa conflict, the Mongol destruction of Khwarezm, and that's just off the top of my head. If somebody had a lot of free time I bet they could comb through Wikipedia and find a hell of a lot

No shit? I didn't know that. You white people are weird. I'm Asian. and the only time our naturally black hair turns lighter is when we go gray.

Why do they keep calling the king black-haired?
His hair, and his brother's hair, is obviously brown.

Does the theme remind anyone else of Redwall?
Maybe it's because they're both set in medieval European-ish locales, but I keep expecting a voiceover about "I am that is" and some shit about a sword.

I dunno, even with a naked chick right there I'd expect it to be pretty uncomfortable when steaming hot water get in your urethra. And yeah, that bit about deformed dragon skulls seems pretty un-erotic to me too.

How did Viserys keep his boner while in the hot tub?
At first I thought it was because Targaryens have some kind of resistance to heat but he flinched when the chick dripped candle wax on him. I know it wasn't jacuzzi-level heat, but they did show steam coming from the water.

Sharpe's Rifles wasn't bad. He still carries a sword but doesn't wear armour. He also played an SAS poser in Ronin and an IRA terrorist in Patriot Games, both of which were decent action movies set in modern times.

I thought the horse-lords were Mongol or Turkic analogues
What the hell is that white dude doing there?

I hope it's not a comedy.
It would be so awesome if this turned out to be a grim Oscar-bait drama.

How'd he get the character models?
I haven't seen the Yogi Bear movie but it seems close to the trailers I've seen.

I hate these public wedding proposals
I keep hoping the girl says "no". Thank God for youtube.

Where do you get the four-number code for the thingy? I've spent the last 20 minutes obsessed over this.

I gave up on the comic book after they got to the prison and I got fed up with the shrewish wife. It seems like Kirkman either has some weird family dynamics at his house or he's Autistic and has no idea how other people think and act. Also, his dialogue writing sucks.

Didn't she also have that wedding night video?

Or if one gets made it will inexplicably have a white lead.

It's a work of fantasy, and obviously some peoples' fantasies involve not having to look at black people.
