But they're not going to stop, no matter how much we whale about it.

Yeah, I feel like a successful adaptation of Ronin would have to be really well-directed to work. It's incredibly atmospheric and stylized, more so even than most of Miller's work.

♫Let it go…let it goooooo…♫

I hope this plum role isn't from Fassbender's schedule untimely ripped.

I want to thank you for the image and sound of Chad Vader performing "My Heart Will Go On" that I now have in my head.

"Sir, we have analyzed the pattern of the rebels' attack, and there is a danger. Shall we prepare your ship?"

"What? Can't you see I'm nursing this baby?"

As Adam Serwer says, we have to keep it realistic and historical. We might like to impose our values on the old days, but the simple fact of the matter is, there simply weren't that many women of color flying X-Wings, back long long ago in that galaxy far far away…

GRRM is the sound his stomach makes when he thinks of capons cooked in a crust of herbs.

Lo siento, Showtime. El rey sigue siendo el rey.

Absolutely. His acceptance of the cartoon insanity around him, even as he maintains his gruffness, is the story. They'd be stuck with someone like John Cusack today, who would be fine, even funny, but who wouldn't create the same perfect tone.

Completely terrifying. Such an underrated movie full of great performances. He was so great, they didn't even need Sam Waterston's also-chilling cameo as Dick Helms, because Hoskins had already embodied so perfectly the rot at the heart of the American security complex.

They can't all be about "penis mightiers", Dik.

For fifty points, the question is, What is this symmetry not unlike?

Aw, man. We're running out of guys who can believably play mid-century Cockney gangsters.

Bring back "George F. Will's Sports Machine"!

Which of your kitchens? Because I know John Wall has never been to the one at your house in Irvine; let me tell you, he's mad about it, too.

Peter David has probably given me more pure pleasure than any other writer, over the years. When I was twelve, his Star Trek novels were the greatest literature in the world to me. As I've gotten older I've come to understand his limitations, but his name on something still makes me smile, and as you say, he's still…

He's more of a thumb drive, these days.

"Valar Portcullis".

Her torture is less outwardly painful than Joffrey's, but just as vicious, in its way.
