yeah, yeah cuz he might be one of those face-changin' assassins, like!

it would have really incriminated Tywin Lannister and kept the whole 'monologueing' aspect of that scene at bay, for me

I'd personally put O Brother in with the Coens' Hayseed comedies, along which Raising Arizona.

True Stories was years ahead of the curve ..

Ha - agree with the sentiment; the Coens are pretty much the only filmmakers whose films I will go and see *no matter fucking what* …

just began reading Moby Dick for the first time, and I share Sonia's pleasant surprise that the book is just so readable and enjoyable - yet to meet Ahab but he's just got a helluva promo from the two old owners the Pequod.

Mellisandre claimed Gendry, her buddy - I don't recall if there were other transgressions, but Arya don't like her.

partially agree, but then again she was using the deed as leverage to get Littlefinger to marry her, so to me it was plausible that she'd pull that card ..

He's seen a bad moon rising ..

it's not GoT if the Hound doesn't drop the c-bomb.
