I wasn't crazy about Season 5 either, but at least the characters finally did something (like Tyrion FINALLY showing up in Dorn). Dance of Dragons is pretty much the main characters dicking around because GRRM has completely lost control of his plot and keeping adding more characters and new story lines instead of…

Good. I'm much more confident in the ability of HBO writers to complete a cohesive story than I am of GRRM at this point anyway.

Just in case you're worried that you missed something, the ending contains a mustache-twirling monologue by the villain explaining how and why the crime was committed.

I think Helen's love for Whitney and Noah colors her perceptions of who they actually are.

Eh, I think we'll just have to agree that we disagree.

The land of Oo.

At the end of the day, everyone's job is to make their boss happy.

This really is the argument to end all arguments about Mellie (of course those arguments will still continue).

To clarify, there's no rule against one spouse testifying against another. If Mellie wanted to do, she can legally testify against Fitz… she just can't be compelled to by the state against her will.

But that's my whole point. He's always a little bit crazy-eyed, which is why his descent into full-on madness is entirely predictable and not particularly compelling.

Spousal privilege means that the state cannot compel people who are married to testify against in each other in court; it doesn't prevent spouses from willingly testifying against one another.

Great point. And there was certainly no way that the bizarre salvation-by-orgy scene at the end of It was ever going to make it to television.

My personal favorites are Linda Blair in The Exorcist (quite a feat for such a young actress who deftly plays a normal girl whose mind is gradually overcome by a demon), Klaus Kinski's portrayal of Count Dracula in Nosferatu the Vampyre, Pyramid Head in the Silent Hill 2 video game, and Heath Ledger as The Joker.

He's sneering, twitchy and crazy-eyed from the very first scene, and then just gets progressively ridiculous as the movie progresses.

Stephen King's stories generally fail as movies because so much of the horror and the torment is going on in the characters' minds. I think The Shining was the most successful of endeavors, but it completely lacks the building of suspense, as Jack Nicholson's Jack Torrance is clearly insane even before they arrive at…

Sacre bleu!

"I can't wait until this movie finally comes out!" Beavis & Butthead

I did see Serenity and that character still annoys the shit out of me. The fact that she's an efficient killer doesn't really make her anymore compelling.

It's a fine example of a time when Al Pacino was capable of a subtle, nuanced performance.

As someone who is renowned for his "strong female characters" the character River almost ruined Firefly for me. She was annoying, weird in a not-fun-way, devoid of agency and her story bored the shit out of me. It was almost like she was the girlfriend of the GM at a tabletop RPG getting all this screen time while…
