My other favorite line is Texas Jack's "Fiddle-dee-dee!" Definitely not used often enough as a comeback in general conversation.

Against my better judgment, I rented Dragonslayer from Netflix, recently, and I actually thought it held up pretty well. That was quite a relief after my experience with Disney's The Black Hole, which I LOVED as a kid and found incredibly awful as an adult.

Leslie escaped with a CHICKEN?

Also, there's not much about Inherent Vice that's all that serious.

My parents took me to see Star Wars in the theater when I was 2. I was so scared of Darth Vader when he first appeared that I hid under my seat. It's literally the first clear and distinct memory I have. So, yeah, it'd have to be that one.

No, I know, but the point is that it was a strange, and staggeringly simplistic, way of announcing the establishment of equal rights for her subjects. I'm not saying she should have delivered the Magna Carta at the end of a B-movie, but it made for an incredibly clumsy victory speech, is all.

James Franco should be in this as Carlos the Dwarf.

Who is someone who has never been in my kitchen?

Some friends and I went to see the first D&D movie in the theater, and dear god, did we have a great time despite - actually, probably mostly because of - how awful it was. When (um, SPOILERS, I guess?) Marlon Wayans's character was first stabbed by the purple-lipped bad guy, a smattering of applause broke out in the…

Someone mentioned it above, but I'd definitely put either The Dark Is Rising or The Golden Compass right at, or near, the top of that list, at least as it pertains to adolescent-oriented sci-fi/fantasy.

Nothing makes me contemplate my own mortality more than the sound of an old man's voice coming out of Harrison Ford's mouth.

I absolutely stand corrected - stupid brain.

I *completely* forgot that. Nice detail, that.

Plus, we haven't even met Oberyn Martell, yet…which, introducing all of Dorne in the limited time they have is going to be an interesting task for the producers and writers of this thing. The Red Viper was supposed to have come to King's Landing during Tyrion's tenure as Hand - I'm curious as to how, or if, they're…

Yeah, I wasn't sure about the actor they cast as Ramsay - he didn't have a savage enough look, I thought - but the more I see of him, the more I like the choice, smiling little psychopath that he is.

It seems to me like this stuff with Gendry is a way for the show runners to write out Edric Storm and his storyline, and replace him/it with a character we know and at least care about a little. That's my theory, anyway.

My HateSong is the name of whoever the person is that came up with this feature, and I sing it to myself every night as I drift off to sleep in the hope that the universe will visit upon him or her a lifetime of minor, but irritating, inconveniences.

I was always under the impression that the act of hitting something a lot was "wailing" on it, not "whaling." Was I wrong about that?

This. I'm sure she had say in how her stuff was going to be marketed, and, now, seeing how sex-focused a lot of her material is, the campaign does make a bit more sense…but just seeing that ad for the first time in the subway, I couldn't help feeling that it sucked that the first of these new Comedy Central shows…
