And who says America still has racial issues?!

Oh, I love Paxton; he just has a really nasal voice.

The first question this list raises is why the hell isn't Bill Pullman in more films/TV? He should be getting all the jobs that Bill Paxton's nasal voice prevents him from doing.

I'm definitely not saying not to be sad.

As sad as it is that he's died, this is a guy about whom we can say lived a damn good creative life. He told a lot of great stories and left the world of literature different than how he came to it. Cliched but true.

I will remember Gandolfini's moment at the end of The Sopranos coma episode "Join the Club" where he sits down on the bed and you can see the depression and existential dread in him even though he doesn't obviously do anything with his face.

I loved Prometheus. Probably one of the films I enjoyed seeing the most in 2012. It's far from perfect but there's something about it that made me adore it. I enjoyed it on second viewing just as much, plot holes and all.

Prometheus is what the new Star Trek films should be more like.

The scene in Vic's house where the baby gets burnt after he comes in and his son sits int he corner rocking back and forth is almost unbearable. What makes it worse is that we cut away and don't get the relief of seeing the situation calm down. One of the best scenes of the show and up there with any other show that

The best thing about this season is Pete's hairline. It's an inch less every episode.

The Conan interview was good stuff. I was surprised at how at ease Martin was considering this is a pretty big television appearance. I sure breathed a sigh of relief when he said he was writing faster, too…

I haven't seen this show, and don't plan on it, and hadn't heard of it before I saw this review on here. It raised an eyebrow because I live on Long Island and wondered what this could possibly be about.

I read the Sarantium books a while ago and I enjoyed them (Kay sure switches to brutal massacres after slow yet engaging plotting for hundreds of pages) and have the Lions of Al Rassan to read, too. This book's theme certainly piques my interest so I'll have to pick it up soon.

Perfectly summarized how I felt.

More brutal than anything else, for me, was the last ten seconds. Catelyn slitting the girl's throat and just standing there until someone came over to kill her was one of the most disturbing things I've seen on TV this side of Twin Peaks.

"It's all on you" is a fantastic Claudette line along with "what happened here today is BULLSHIT!" from earlier in the season.

And the dog. They're going to have to get rid of it.

There are so many ways this could've ended up a mess but it was great. Might be Damon's best performance since The Informant!

You can not be a fan of Lena Dunham's work (I'm not) and still agree with her that it's bullshit that this is being done and paid for by a popular magazine. I think if she wasn't as divisive this would be taken in an entirely different fashion. If Jennifer Lawrence came out and said this people would all be nodding

How the hell is Chelsea Clinton ugly? That's some heavy misogyny right there.
