In high school, my girlfriend and I went to see "Teaching Ms. Tingle." I don't even remember what the movie was about, but I remember distinctly that it's the worst movie I've ever seen, in or out of the theater.

I have never once understood the appeal of Rapaport. He's marginally less off-putting than LeBeouf.

I don't disagree that this was about the time that the genre took a nosedive, but it is kinda fun browsing the Wikipedia page for '96 releases to find good stuff that came out that year.

Also, The Refreshments' "Banditos" came out in '96, and that's a fun fucking song forever.

I'll go to bat for Seven Mary Three. "Cumbersome," is a shitty song, and deserving of all the criticism people pile on it, but that album has songs that I still listen to, "Devil Boy" and "Rodrigo" most notably. And there's a really good live version of "Water's Edge" where they slowed it down a bit and got rid of the…

Um, huge mistake, guys. Cersei isn't in the line of succession, so she doesn't have a claim to the throne. All hail King Pounce, First of his Name! Long may he snuggle!

Like a euphemism for menstruation?

When the Arya reveal happened, my fist shot up in the air, unbidden by me, and began pumping enthusiastically. A Girl is the biggest badass on this show whose name doesn't rhyme with Shmady Shmormont.

Queenslayer?

And an aerodynamic hairstyle.

Lady Mormont's badassery-to-height ratio is off the charts.

Varys travels fast as a motherfucker.

I didn't get it either until the after-show. I was initially expecting her to say "keep going" or something.

S01E09 "Baelor" - Ned Stark gets beheaded. "Holy shit, can you believe they killed off the main character?!"
S03E09 "The Rains of Castamere" - Catelyn and Robb Stark, along with Robb's wife and unborn child. "Holy shit, can you believe they did that?!?"
S05E10 "Mother's Mercy" - Jon Snow gets betrayed and stabbed by the…

Fantastic bit of acting/direction to have Sansa start to turn away when the dogs attacked, then turn back to fully take in what was happening to him.

Pretty badass that Jon restrained himself from beating Ramsay's head into a paste because he realized Sansa had dibs.

Dat Fi do…

I was kinda surprised that Arya's cutting the lights out trick worked; I'd assumed every Faceless Man initiate had gone through the blindness phase of training.

Wait, maybe Varys IS Daenerys! How could we have missed it for so long!

Oh man, you just hit the GOT meme jackpot. Everybody get to work mashing up panels of Faceless Men and Family Circus!
