Also, Alfie Allen's Russian accent is…not good.

I just saw John Wick for the first time a week or two ago and wasn't that impressed with it. I don't mind a simple story and I generally enjoy cheeseball action movies, but it just didn't do much for me. Keanu was invincible to the point where you never feared for him (call it "Last Action Hero" syndrome). The female…

Velcoro's stomach is a flat circle.

Maybe I'm stating the obvious here, but I get the sense that the Kitsch character is closeted gay and/or that he was a victim of sexual abuse as a youngster.

I feel like they both peaked early, but that's just me.

Not necessarily. I love Boogie Nights and also enjoyed PDL and Magnolia to an extent. I just think some of the guy's stuff is badly overrated. The fact that people praised The Master as a good movie tells me that he could film himself taking a shit for three hours and critics would still convince themselves that it…

I'm surprised by the backlash. I thought this was as safe a bet for critical knobslobbery as a PT Anderson movie. IMO the first season was not really that deep and profound. Just a pretty typical murder story that seemed more intellectual than it really was due to the philosophical musings of the Rust Cohle character…

Welp, that was interesting. I've seen every episode of this show and it has been a fun ride. I think one of Mad Men's strengths is also one of its weaknesses. Unlike Breaking Bad, which had basically the same narrative throughline over the course of its entire run (Walt's drug ambitions and the resulting…

I thought the ending was very appropriate. Just when you thought Don had bought the hippie new wave BS hook, line, and sinker; you realize that he just ripped it off it for an ad. Same old Don. He never really changed.

Well, the show is becoming less GRRM and more Benioff/Weiss. Having seen what Benioff did to the Iliad, let's just say that I don't doubt his ability to screw up good source material. When they were mostly sticking with the script for books 1-3, the show was great. I still really like the show, but I think it's more…

Doesn't help that the girls they cast in those roles are about as athletic as Hannah from Girls.

I'm not condoning that last scene, but I don't see how people can accept scenes of horrible torture and death, yet cry foul when someone is raped. How is what happened to Sansa worse than The Mountain using live rats to chew through a captive man's chest in S2, for example?

I thought he would intervene right then and there because surely, "They won't really let that happen, will they?" Guess I was wrong. Newton's First Law of GoT: If anything horrible can happen to a Stark, it will. Fully expecting to see Rickon flayed, chopped up, cooked, and fed to his own sister in a bowl of chili in…

So Tyrion has a big prick, Ramsay is a bigger prick than Joffrey, and somehow Theon is still the smallest prick of them all.

I feel like they are setting up this season to end with Jon getting set on fire and then emerging from the flames unharmed like Dany.

On second thought, it's even worse than I thought. They made Stannis sympathetic and they went so far as to suggest that something good could happen to the Stark family (if Stannis beats the Boltons and makes Sansa wardeness of the north). This pretty much ensures that episode 9 will end with Ramsay Snow making Sansa…

I prefer the book version of the Jon/Melisandre scene.

Personally, I think he's most likeable when he's fathering demon shadow children to murder his brother. Maybe that's just me though.

Goddamnit, don't go making Stannis sympathetic now. That's a sure sign that he's gonna die.

They should make a comic book movie where the superheroes have to rescue the world from an endless plague of comic book movies.
