Maybe it will close out the found footage era? A nice bookend, finishing off the genre with an entry in the very franchise which started it.

I would disagree. For me, those games (especially Fallout) are more exciting at the beginning, when you have to keep track of your equipment, be weary of any threat, and think through any fight you get into to survive. Later in the game, when you're practically king of the world and nothing can possibly stand a chance…

Tywin was smarter, for sure.

The Unsullied seem pretty excellent at open combat and sieges, though their numbers have been decimated by the Sons of the Harpy.

We're not so different, you and I?

Probably, though he's likely all for that, considering how much trouble the High Sparrow is giving the Lannisters. It's also worth noting that Varys hates magic, and it seems like the Faith of the Seven is the one religion in the series that doesn't have any examples of actual magic working in its favor.

Yes! Although, to be fair, it seems like the Iron Islands are pretty removed from normative Westerosi culture (even in wartime). They aren't bound by many of the same laws.

Based on the scene's inclusion, it will be confirmed later this season and likely The Winds of Winter.

I'm holding out hope that Shaggydog is still alive, and will return triumphant with Ramsay Bolton's head by the end of this season.

COLDHANDS COLDHANDS COLDHANDS!!!

I wouldn't be so sure about that…after all, they Tyrells conspired to kill Joffrey, which Cersei wouldn't be too happy to hear. It also seems like Tommen is not long for this world, which would sever all ties between the two families. I don't think the Tyrells and Lannisters are going to be too simpatico by the end of…

He was also the more interesting of two evils: more cunning, older, better acted, and with a more important effect on the plot (he's directly responsible for the Red Wedding, which basically destroyed the Stark cause).

The Tyrells haven't been in a battle since Blackwater, in which they launched an incredibly successful surprise attack. Their area of land is also pretty rich and fertile, so they can support a large army. I wonder who they'll wind up siding with in the end, as they don't seem to interact with any of the powers from…

Dany's storyline has always been mired in imperialism, and this development is no different. Hell, the point of her character is that she is trying to go back to and conquer a land she has no personal knowledge of purely to satisfy the rule of a genealogical monarchy—killing thousands of people in the process. I'm…

With regard to the stageplay aspect, I think Tarantino did a great job of sidestepping the temptation to only shoot sumptuous landscape shots in 70mm (though the opening had some great ones). Viewing the movie's interiors on such a remarkably wide screen screen really played up the tension and claustrophobia of the…

The movie was made to be seen in the roadshow version. I saw it twice in 70mm and it was a fantastic experience both times. The score sounded amazing, the shots were endlessly surprising, and the theatrical experience very well-paced. I certainly don't want every movie to be as gratuitous with length or violence or…

Please no (either way)

Umm..it's entirely possible to flesh out a cast of about half a dozen principal characters within a fleet ninety minutes. The problem is more the fact that Allen made all the characters he disagreed with into shrill, one-note caricatures rather than believable people—it drains practically all the conflict out of the…

For me, it was the one-dimensional shrillness of the supporting characters in the present that really botched the movie. Rachel McAdams and her parents are horribly shallow, mean, and privileged assholes, and Michael Sheen plays a pretentious blowhard. The movie's take on nostalgia is kind of endearing, but the fact…

Yep, the name of Tarantino's production company is an anglicized version of the film's original French title. When this was mentioned to him, Godard said Tarantino would do better in just giving him some money.
