hmmmm, ok, maybe i'll have to give it another try, i do trust your judgment.  i remember hating that movie when it came out, but then again that was 15 years ago (1998 is 15 years ago, how did that happen?!).  the following year when i saw american beauty, i thought it was the most amazing artistic achievement in the…

how about the conversation instead of the execrable enemy of the state?  robert duvall was playing "the director," i assume director of the nsa, right?  man, that movie is so fucking good.

he's worse than jimmy carter, back from the dead

ah, go blow it out of your tannhauser gate.

hey @avclub-6574db6e995ac113ce7d39461d4ce165:disqus , did you know that they have those dealies online now?  http://www.projectaon.org/e…  yeah, feel you on the d&d/no friends thing.  i had 2nd edition players handbook, dungeon masters guide, monstrous compendium, and a tube of assorted polyhedral dice.  never played…

no, you are dead-on there.  i don't believe that discussion has ever taken place on screen.  so i assumed megan knew about the desertion, b/c why else would he have told her about being dick whitman?  why would he have taken someone else's identity?  if he didn't tell her about the desertion, i'm absolutely dying to…

@avclub-0f0d67e214f9fef69b278e3d08114da9:disqus , that is without a doubt the funniest thing that anyone has ever said.  ever.

i know, he totally had the rube drawl that roger warned him about last episode when he was hollering down the hallway after her.

i was kinda worried (because that's all i do when watching an episode of mad men, worry that something awful is just about to happen) that the rosen's had bought a gun to protect themselves because of the rash of recent burglaries.  i was just waiting for sally to get blown away by mrs. rosen when she hear someone…

wait, so if there weren't a dare program, you wouldn't have been terrified to call the police, and you WOULD have narced your dad out for smoking a doobie?  well thank goodness for the dare program.

i know!  i totally thought bunson was going to come running in from off-camera with a knife or something.

the first time chaughtuhgh was talking about his brigadiere general buddy, i totally thought he said "international guard" too.  i just went back and checked, it was actually "air national guard," he just says it fast.

i know the vietnam stuff has been done to death, but the fact that don looked to be basically on the verge of blurting out "this kid shouldn't dodge the draft and run to canada because i don't want  to end up like me!" in his scene w/ megan adds a pretty interesting spin to all of this, i think. megan knows about him…

wondering if taena shows up as well, what with, "her breasts were larger than the queen’s and tipped with huge nipples, black as horn."  book 4 really could have just been called "a feast of big brown nipples."

looks like those guys need some 'hooked on davonics,' ammirite?

i really liked this episode overall, but agree w/ tvdw on the unearned sentimentality of dany's scene at the end.  i mean, i found myself almost choking up, what with the swelling music and adoration from the crowd, but at the same time it was so stupid and hacky i started laughing.  i felt kinda manipulated, i'm…

yeah, but it's the iron islands 50 meanest rustlers, cutthroats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperadoes, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, half-wits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswagglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass…

oh yeah, grrm does love him some "round ripe breasts with their huge dark nipples"

ugh, just watched this on netflix.  wish i would have checked the review 8 months ago.  d- is just about right.
