Yeah, somehow the reveal of Hodor's real name and seeing him as a kid isn't enough, it has to be all part of a deeper thing. And a shallow "it's a small world" connection isn't even really a deeper thing.

Why would the mother be dead if not in childbirth with Tyrion? The similar theory that I admit I kind of like is that the twins were actually Targaryaen-fathered and Tyrion is the only one that's Tywin's blood.

Would they send her to kill somebody she knew in her former life? (I can't remember all of the ins and outs, it seems like that would either be completely forbidden *or* an absolutely necessary step in her training.)

But she *thinks* that Joffrey was killed by Tyrion because Tyrion hates her, so she does blame herself for it. And she feels responsible for her daughter because she said that she knew she shouldn't send her away. It's a good prophecy, because it makes her view the world with suspicion and hate, which winds up…

I'm not surprised that Reynolds is an asshole, or that he's violent, or that he's self aware. But I am really surprised at how well he can throw a pie.

I think Reynolds was mad that he was "talking to his back", not realizing that he wasn't actually supposed to be talking at all.

It's zero effort, but it's spontaneous in response to a challenge from Conan, and you can tell from Conan's reaction that it wasn't planned or set up or anything. The set up joke is a real fallback Norm MacDonald zero-efforter — "A good title would be Box Office Poison" — and even that is funny.

IMDb lists *three* other 2015 Ronald Reagans, and none of them is the one that I'm pretty sure you're referring to, where the star of the show also did an appearance as Reagan.

Is he going to fight Spider-Man and Batman and Godzilla?

The joke is not that the guy is stating an honest, genuine preference for non-fiction, though.

Funnily enough, that scene originally led into a scene that was so controversial that Smith actually did cut it out. Not for sacrilege, it was just really racist.

So he said story but meant theme?

Office Space is widely beloved by almost everybody who watches it, but, yeah, I guess that includes first year film majors.

Honestly, "Boogie Nights" is more directly aping Altman's style, it's just obscured behind the Scorsese aping.

Hold on a second, you're talking in circles.

I liked about four tracks off of "Shadows", which is on par with "Together Through Life", slightly behind "Tempest", and waaaay behind "Love and Theft" and "Modern Times" (especially if you swap in a few choice alternates from "Tell Tale Signs").

There's a lot that was cut involving Alvy's wives. Of course, if the movie had been released a week earlier, we'd all be talking about the unconfirmed rumor that Christopher Walken had a scene that was shot but cut; they did a LOT of tinkering, and I wouldn't be surprised if there is some kernel of truth to the…

I have heard this for a long time, but after trying three different drafts, I'm convinced it's a rumor. The most believable version of the rumor is that it was just a single scene which was cut out — I can see "Annie Hall" suddenly cutting to he and his wife investigating a murder, similar in style to the scene in…

Nobody is saying that he hires people with the intention of picking on them. The point is that, after hiring them, while working with them, he picks on them. If their part is small enough, he'll often just cut it (read "When The Shooting Stops, the Cutting Begins" sometime to get a sense of how quickly Allen will…

Counter-point: Apparently, he and Bruce Willis couldn't get along and Willis is no longer in Allen's next film.
