I find your reaction to Theon interesting. For me, after so much AGOT was devoted to the Starks (all but two of the POV characters, Dany and Tyrion), I found a different perspective, and Theon's perspective is instantly and vastly different from those of the Starks, like a breath of fresh air. That's not to say I find…

Oh, I love Winter's Bone. He's great in The Sessions, too, and Eastbound & Down, although he's given less to do there. I just think that guy has a big later-in-life career peak in him. Like, in his 50s or his 60s or something, we'll be going, John Hawkes is our greatest living actor. I genuinely, seriously,…

I don't want to be the creep going, "Yeah, guys, the parts where Humbert Humbert is completely out of his mind and stalking Lolita are awesome," but they totally are. The second half is where the book kicks into overdrive for me. Navobov just really gets at an insanity there, almost certainly a male insanity, and it's…

For instance, here's one: John Hawkes is going to the give post-Deadwood performance of anyone from the cast. I really think that guy has a classic performance in him and I just think we haven't seen it yet. He's maybe the only cast member who hasn't already reached their full potential.

I love that you work on your theories when you've been drinking! Those are the exact conditions under which I also work on my own theories!

Seriously, though, I cannot overstate my love of those Cersei chapters. She had easily been my favorite on the show for years, but those POV chapters take things to a whole other level. I wish I could have given GRRM an "OH SNAP" after every sentence he finished, because basically every sentence is a brutal insult…

It really might be the best show HBO has ever done. The scene of Al putting the Reverend out of his misery while the Doc is doing, I don't know, scream therapy/prayer/something for his Civil War nightmares — I think that might honestly be unrivaled on the network.

I've gotten abut 100 pages into Blood Meridian probably four or five times and have never been able to finish it. I just always end up setting it down and leaving it wherever it is for a couple of weeks and then I figure it's too late to continue and I should just eventually start over.

Hosted by Rod Serling.

That might actually be the cringiest moment of the entire series. I can practically feel the other guy's armpit sweat whenever I watch it.

They have a thin candy shell. Surprised you didn't know that.

Maybe you're like me and like having things to plan on finishing eventually? I get a little nervous when I feel I'm caught up on stuff. I need things to look forward to. That's why I bought all of Thomas Pynchon's books. I don't know if I'll ever actually ready them, but having them there makes me feel safe. I'll…

Right? That's the major conflict of the book for me: it's obviously wrong, but it's not like it's written in flat, unsexy prose. There's a weird tenderness to the first half of the book, I think.

I miss Deadwood. I've been thinking about that show a lot lately. All of the hiking trails in the area have been battered by rain and weirdly warm winter weather for the last month or so, and I keep thinking that every place I take my dog is basically the main road in Deadwood. Like, I hope this is mud and not shit,…

Yeah, I was definitely creeped out reading Lolita and yet I found the first half oddly hot and the second half a completely compelling breakdown of male jealousy. The whole book makes me feel weird and impressed and I don't know. I think the madness of the second half, where Humbert is just second-guessing everything…

The A Song Of Ice And Fire books after A Game Of Thrones, which was fine, but also was so completely mined for the first season of the show that when I first read it I just thought, If so much of this is going to be exactly line-for-line as the show, what's the point? I sure am glad I decided to read the other four…

Fuck yeah. That was very impressive. And I loved how he stripped down a little more every time he made progress walking the tightrope during that montage. He was looking really good without a shirt on. Like, Whoa, Nathan.

It made me happier to see photographic proof of Nathan and Bonney's meeting (which is maybe the creepiest phrasing of that I can give, I think) than, I don't know, anything related to my own family.

Nathan introduced a child to the seven adults who would be fucking literally feet away while he sits inside of a soundproof box. I actually thought the first time I saw that, Wait, can he do that?
