"that dreadful Arrested Development show that was rightfully cancelled years ago."

Yep, someone else mentioned this as well. I did not remember that, so I guess I'm happy that the writers are not substituting R'hllor for the Many-Faced God.

Ah..I didn't recall that he used the term Red God in the books—I assumed it was a deliberate change and somehow that bothered me more than the Tickler death and no Reeds (the lack of Reeds did not bother me one bit, actually). And, theologically, you're right about how followers of the Many-Faced God think of other…

[Vague spoilers for book four]

Agreed on the mask being a change that didn't work for me.

My only similar sex-in-a-theater story happened when I was in college, during the movie "Blow." I am totally serious.

The Road Not Taken was around the time Fringe started ramping up in quality, but it's not "weird" like the other 19th episodes (well…Brown Betty was the 20th episode according to Fringepedia).

I actually just finished a small bowl of popcorn.  True story!  There's a popcorn machine in my office.  Now I have a bit of kernel or whatever stuck in between my back molars and I'm terrified it's going to fall under my gums and my teeth are going to rot.  I'm seriously considering going home early to brush my…

Yep, Dollhouse's biggest weakness—and no matter how much I liked that show, I had to admit it had plenty of faults—was Dushku. They should have cast the dude who played Victor in the lead.

That's funny since Iron Man was originally imagined as a capitalist commie-fighter. Of course, those early stories sucked. Actually, aside from Dennis O'Neil's run, and the more recent Warren Ellis and Matt Faction stories, Iron Man the comic has been consistenly mediocre.

This is an unpopular opinion, but I actually liked Iron Man 2 better than the first. Perhaps I was irrationally clinging to my theory that the first sequel to any superhero movie is superior to the first (see also The Dark Knight, X2, Spider Man 2, the forthcoming Wolverine movie had it been directed by Darren…

I LOVE The Wages of Fear.  That is all.

I've seen GoodFellas probably more times than I've seen any other movie, and I've never noticed Gallo. I should pay more attention.

Similar to how Scrawler describes. The process varies from script to script (and the way showrunner runs the show), and in my experience it is rare that the dialogue is re-written from scratch at the table. Usually, it's just punched up.

Riposte with that essay I wrote in college in 2001 completely destroying Nozick. Haven't heard much from him since.

She already did! She was the pregnant inmate in one episode last season.

I know that can hit close to home for some people….was anyone here aborted?

In IV, if you crashed going 120 on a motorcycle, it could very well kill you—go figure—unlike the previous games when it would only be a minor annoyance.  Given my propensity to crash, I never rode bikes unless I had to (contrast to Vice City, where I only rode bikes unless I was forced otherwise).  This made the…

If someone suggests that Kings Island is classier than Cedar Point Larry the Cable Guy WILL LOSE HIS SHIT

Will no one think of the poor developers?
