that scene was a little underwhleming, but i forgive them because the hound vs. berric was waaaay better than i expected. best swordfight since season 1 i think.

im almost certain its going to turn out that hes the rarest thing in all of Westeros: a kind, gentle, fun person. that shit makes the ladies go crazy.

6. there are 6 ways to skin a cat.

i cant wait until that shit goes down because maybe then ill finally figure out what the hell is going on

speaking of stepping up, i was impressed with how intimidating Craster was when he finally got off that chair. the entire time hes been sitting and seems cruel, fat and crazy, but dude looked more than up to the task with that axe in his hand.

Just got back from it. Nothing terribly new, but a well executed "early summer sci-fi movie". But since that was what I was looking for, I left completely satisfied. Plus Olga Kurylenko is GORGEOUS and Nikolaj Coster-Waldeau makes a brief but memorable appearance. No complaints here!

Obviously late to the party here, but I just saw Upstream this evening and as it was this review that piqued my interest in the film initially, I figure I would do my part to complete the brain slug/orchid/movie review/internet comment life-cycle… or whatever

I think they are doing a great job of subtly increasing the Bolton presence. in the book there is plenty of lead up with stories about the significance of the flayed man, but have they discussed it in the show at all? I have a feeling we'll be getting some nice gruesome backstory from Ramsay set to the high-pitched…

whenever people use "hippie" as a generic pejorative, I just assume they are Eric Cartman and judge the merits of what they are saying accordingly.

ah! Canadian? that makes the accents even more bizarre. I just read that it's a collaboration between BBC America and Canada's Space network… I guess I don't know many Canadian shows, is this indicative at all of the typical quality?

i re-logged in after like a year of lurking just to agree with #2. the music was so terrible i couldnt even pay attention to the bad accents and laughable "new york". i find "cool british shows" often have some degree of this problem of blasting generic electronica, but this was something else entirely. they even…

the knee-jerk labeling of anything novel as "fad" is pretty weak. without these fads, rock music is 70 years of the same tired old blues riff and incomprehensibly irrelevant

well to be fair… as far as time travelers are concerned, everybody tries to kill hitler their first time around. doesn't necessarily mean it was the same old guy then

I like McSweeny's, and hell, I even have issue 1 saved in a box somewhere. But I'll feel better about us a culture when it fades away with that whole insufferable self-important early-aughts literary scene.

I'm surprised to see so many haters on this board for what for me was one of the most hilarious hours of television I've ever seen. Seems like everybody is all excited to dust off their copy of bell hooks and stretch out the old the women's studies muscles, talking about how Curtis' experience as a woman is…

that interchange was one of my favorite Leon moments ever. i thought this episode was flawless

C seems pretty low for the best episode of this season. i mean, i know this season sucks hard and all, but some credit should be due. wrapping those last 5 episodes of nonsense into something that actually makes me look forward to tuning in next week blew my puny expectations out of the water!

I was pretty impressed, especially considering the complete lack of hype leading up to the release. I first saw the trailer at Deathly Hollows pt2 and cheesy or not, it was my favorite part of that particular trip to the movies.

and yes i miss-spelled hollywood ;p

his appearance on Colbert
really killed my opinion of him. Perhaps he is scholarly and well-read for the Hollwood dinner party set, but bringing that "I'm a renaissance man" PR bullshit to the bEast Coast was like bringing a poodle to a bear fight. A COL-BEAR-t FIGHT. Dude got PWNT by *a person playing along with his…
