It was a thrill and a rush. Tense as shit. As spectacular an action film as you’re likely to see. I might go see it a second time because nothing else I see this summer is going to top it. When the German bombers first flew overhead with that awful screeching sound, I thought this movie is fucking amazing, Nolan…

Right?! At first I thought mole was another word for a stowaway.

Dude, the challenge is to come back strong while keeping it civil, and you were doing just fine until the end. I wasn't even being insulting! That was mild teasing.

Thank you! That guy lingers like a bad smell.

I loved how Maisie Williams said "Tell them winter came for House Frey". Great start, show.

I always took Tyrion for a survivor. Or putting it another way, I thought he was one of the writers' favourites.

The old Sunk Cost Fallacy strikes again. It has more victims than the White Walkers. ;)

Lol no, but you're on the right website. ;)

I assumed that was the back gate, given that they came from the sea. And I was thinking more in terms of defending the castle from invasions by sea.

I legit thought he was winding them up at first.

I like that the Maesters are arrogant, cut off from the rest of the world, and disdainful of it. It rings true as a subculture. I guess it's a take on academia.

Yes, and the girl was pale with long red hair, like Sansa. And each child is of a noble, Northern family whose dead father is now called a traitor…

Ser Davos has such a great voice, though! Liam Cunningham can deliver a line like nobody's business.

It's an outrage!

The ending breaks with Moretti’s admirable every-day-at-a-time depiction
of the grieving process, forcing a breakthrough. Heretofore committed
to prickly realism, the film settles for a therapeutic upshot.

The central performance by Florence Pugh is fantastic; I loved Catherine's boldness and nervelessness. Granted, she's a murderous sociopath or whatever. Murdering people is to Catherine what firing people is to Donald Trump ie. the solution to every problem! The woman who moves into her house is also impressively bold.

Anyone who's read the book "Who Fears Death" feel like giving a book report? Is it any good?

HBO want people to associate it with their biggest hit from the beginning? They can use his name in the marketing?

I found Sam's acerbic dialogue tremendously enjoyable for its own sake, but it also prevented the show — a funny, joyful, uplifting drama about a group of people coming together — from getting too treacly.

He brought his tuxedo. He was born for this moment.
