In my Game of Thrones recap drinking game I had the word "inflected," and now I'm dead.

ST is probably too much a "war movie" than an "action movie" for the purposes of this column. Fifth Element fits the action movie beats pretty closely.

OMG THE FIFTH ELEMENT IS LOVE. IT'S LOOOOVE! (and love is a mouth laser beam.)

Hard to argue with this pick as the influencer and tone-setter (and for being gloriously ridiculous), but M:I does all the prestige budget stuff better while The Professional and Long Kiss Goodnight are tons more fun without being remotely as problematic.

1. Movie-Shatner-Kirk. 2.TV-Picard 3. Who gives a crap? Nobody wants any of those other things. 136. Chris Pine.

Oops, no it doesn't

PMRC: C = Council (not Center)

Hrm. Did you SEE the Good Dinosaur? Ack.

It's not attitude, I'm just saying you sound like you first noticed it in a few movies and are assuming that that's when it started or became common or became a "thing," which just sounds silly. North By Northwest, 1958, the last second, hand slipping, about to fall, clutch grab, etc. is already such a standard trope…

I don't mean the difference between epic battles and palace intrigues, I mean the difference between palace intrigues and palace… right-out-in-the-openses. Littlefinger, for example, lit the spark that set the whole powder keg off, but he didn't simply stab John Arryn and declare himself Hand to advance himself. All…

The movie is great and all, but the trailer is the most thrilling 2 minutes ever committed to celluloid.

"one of, if not the first…" that you saw, perhaps. Do you really think it likely that nobody ever thought of that until the mid-90's?

Apropos of nothing in particular, I've got a long-standing question…

I wish there was some sense of the struggle between the training which would help her check the names off her list, and the requirement of that training to leave such concerns behind. I mean, the audience knows it's there, but the dialogue and behavior don't show her working through any of it. She's just willing,…

A lot of commenters seem to share this sentiment, and I can't figure it out. As things went throughout season 5, Olly's been one of the most psychologically and emotionally well realized characters on the show. He's got the most visceral and unimpeachable reason for hating Wildlings of anyone, yet he tried for…

I don't think you could have missed the point of the review more. There's been a lot of review/recap/commentary talk about this season featuring the rise of the female power brokers, and the review points out that this is not really a new development for a show that has consistently featured a variety of women in a…

"That’s three great lords overthrown in two episodes, and Littlefinger is nowhere to be seen."

aren't the iron islands on the west of westeros? do the ironborn even sail the narrow sea?

Gendry and Tommen are, at best, step-brothers, not blood relations of any percentage.

I thought he left for… i forget, but somebody's castle. like, some stark-friendly family we haven't heard from since season 2 or something.
