I hated Prometheus just because every time someone does something important, it's the stupidest thing they possibly could have done at that moment in those circumstances. Any movie that makes me shout (in my mind) "NO! DON'T DO THAT!" every time someone's about to do something, just pisses me off.

That's just about exactly what Varys said to Oleanna - enjoying his company while recognizing him as evil.

Roger and Me featured real rabbit-killing. That scene was the source of the title of the sequel: Pets or Meat.

When she told Arya they'd meet again, she seemed terrified at the prospect. The exact opposite expression we're used to seeing on her face.

If it's okay by comicbookgirl19, it's okay by me.

Just being systematic, addressing every calumny in turn, starting with the easiest.

Every plot, every scheme, every gambit she comes up with, winds up biting her in the ass. Every.Single.One.
I loved it when she of all people told Tyrion "You're half as clever as you think you are" (or something close to that). And his reply: "That still makes me more clever than you."

If God were a villain, He'd be him.

See above. He's responsible for the gangsters finding our heroes. Twice.

I liked him best as a pot smoking real estate agent who runs into an old friend in town for the high school reunion, and winds up, completely out of the blue, helping said friend dispose of a freshly-killed corpse at said reunion.

But Floyd (a) tells Tony Soprano the hotel where our heroes are staying and then (b) tells the entire mob where the deal's going down.

"I love weed, okay? I love it.
But not as much as I love pussy.
The End."
One of the most definitive closing lines in any movie.
(And if I had those options to choose from, I'd give up the weed in a heartbeat.)

To me the striking thing about Stan's treatment of the stereo guy wasn't its brutality, but its casualness.

This stuff didn't begin with the "USA Patriot Act". See COINTELPRO, police "red squads", hell go all the way back to the Palmer Raids and the origins of the FBI.

I'll just note that when Philip smothered Viola's son, he wasn't trying to kill him, he was trying to save his life. Because unless he could convince Viola that her son was really and truly going to die, she would continue to refuse to plant the clock - and then the son would die of the poison. Twisted as it is, that…

Ronald Reagan was the first president I had the chance to vote against, so that was my era, and yes, we were all scared shitless that Reagan just might try to "abolish Russia forever, the bombing begins in 5 minutes". Look at all the post-apocalyptic near-future sci-fi of the era.

Re: The two countries' actions in Afghanistan. I assume you are referring to the USA's actions in Afghanistan since 2001.

Yes. The comment in the review about how the Soviets were, after all, fixing to rain nuclear hellfire on the USA, really pissed me off. The Soviets were much more scared of the USA and NATO than vice versa, and for very good reason: History.

It's a common thing for law enforcement-intelligence types to do a sneak-and-peek before seeking a warrant, in order to make sure what they're looking for is there, since they don't want to go to all that hassle and/or tip their hand for nothing. Stan's clearly done this sort of thing many times before while…

All the history stuff has me thinking, as I often do when comparing historical fiction to what really happened, that I'd really like to see a series showing the actual historical events.  Obviously non-famous individuals and non-recorded dialog would have to be invented, but all known events and persons would be…
