Seems like washing your hands *before* food is a little more important.

I don't doubt that he understands that he has to treat her right. What I do doubt is (1) whether he has the self-control to act in his own best interest, and (2) whether he is capable of understanding her enough to keep her happy. I mean, if your theory is right, then he was offering Tyrion up not (entirely) as a…

I kind of see her as the Princess Buttercup and him as Prince Humperdinck. Once they're married, he's got what he wants from her.

If you're saying that not wanting to be married to Tyrion was a bad decision based on future knowledge, then surely you have to concede that if she *had* stuck with Tyrion, she'd have been executed for Joffrey's death.

Look, I don't particularly care about spoilers, but you're acting as if you're being put upon, so let me just break it down quick:
The first comment was a general comment about the books with no specific details.
Your direct response began with "I disagree, in the books…"

Yes, removing the half of the paragraph that is specific to stand-up comedy really makes that point seem much more generic.

Kind of; if they came to see a specific person, they will often be suspicious of any other person telling them jokes, and take longer to come around on them than if they were at, say, an open-mike night.

It's almost as if the plots are chosen based on whether they can inspire the funniest jokes as opposed to the most intricate and original plotting!

I read that line differently, I thought that it is a thing that she checks in on every once in a while, but she hasn't had time in a few years, but she has been very very aware of that failing.

I think Stiller conceived of Tropic Thunder back when he was in Empire of the Sun, but as one of his few effects movie experiences, surely this must have informed it.

This sounds about right. I suspect Stiller would get bored and find fun riffs to throw in.

Invisible Boy has a superpower.

It's enough to trick humans into thinking the Terminators are human, the time travel thing is a side benefit.

This was the year that Hollywood insisted that Tim Robbins was a real star, and stuck him in "I.Q." (which was, bizarrely, considered one of those "Great scripts nobody will ever make" for years before they took the greatness out and made a film out of the basic concept), plus the best one-two title punch ever, "The…

I think that every actor involved in any kind of thing with a cult fanbase over-estimates the level of that cult fanbase because they have little else to compare it to.

Dammit, I really wanted to be the one to make that joke.

Pretty sure that Big Daddy is when he really stopped trying.

From the early stories, it sounds as if they only hired the cultural consultant because they couldn't get any Native American extras to sign up, on the assumption that it would be offensive. So they said "Well, we'll hire a consultant, that way it won't be offensive."

A reasonable error, that was the one that was marketed like it was the next "Garden State", right?

It is easy to say that the script should be figured out, but it is never 100% "figured out". Questions of blocking come up, and suddenly a blocking idea requires changes to the lines.
