She is not obsessed, she exhibits completely normal behaviour.

Why do you say she's a monster diva? I'm not joking, I'm genuinely curious, as I do not watch the show and I know her from The Sopranos.

It has nothing to do with the backward medieval world, it has to do with the fact that rape in shows has become a means to advance the plot and to spur character development, as I already said. It's become meaningless, used only for shock, not to say something of value.

No, no, no. Enough with the rape. I thought at first Sansa's storyline was going to be interesting, but she became a victim again. I'm sick of it, using rape as a plot point and character development.

Well, it sounds like it should be a fun experience. It definitely moves up my queue. And six seasons? The show must be pretty popular.

I loved '71 too, and from what I read, it stays true to the real story it's based on. That's increasingly rare these days.

It was a brief scene, just a couple of minutes, and nothing traumatic happens.

Kazuo Ishiguro is one of the best writers we have today, hands down. I haven't read The Unconsoled, but after your praise, I'm really excited.

The ''we're not related'' by blood parenthesis just reminded me of Thor's ''He's adopted'' line.

The scene with the dog is the only good scene in the movie. Zero redeeming qualities as far as I'm concerned.

You sold me on 1864. It sounds fascinating.

The novel is one of my favourite books, it's so haunting and so heartbreaking. The movie is good, but a bit too melodramatic and not as complex as the book (it's pretty hard to translate that much thematic density into a movie, to be fair). Still, it's a good movie, and the actors do a great job.

You make a compelling point about Ava, but her decisions at the end to me come from a very rational, calculating place, and not from a survival instinct. I saw her as lacking empathy and that final shot can be read as her studying people like lab rats to be able to adapt. I think the question of her humanity is left

As a kid, the Chucky movies scared the life out of me. And I still haven't gathered the courage to rewatch any of them.

Chappie was the most idiotic film I've seen in a very long while. And yeah, It Follows is a good horror, but I'm just not on its wavelenght. Maybe I was disappointed because I had such high expectations after all the hype.

Murakami's newest Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage is a lot different from his other novels, and cuts down on his obsession with cats and doing laundry and so on. I recommend this to people who are not big fans of his established style. It feels a bit like Norwegian Wood, but I think it's better

Ex-Machina. I don’t know what the fuss was all about. It is a very enjoyable movie, but unsubstantial. Oscar Isaac was so good and so funny (that dance scene was a thing of beauty), keeping Nathan from being just a rapist bro. I must say he’s rapidly becoming one of my favourite actors, he resembles Tom Hardy in the

The swine is confident enough that nothing will happen to him and that his deranged followers will love him forever, he doesn't even bother to hire some people to tell him what to say. He just rambles like an idiot.

I just googled Gary Ablett, and things took a turn for the grim. Morbid phrase all in all, even if it's balanced by the cutesy bosh stuff.
