But see, he's just fucking around. We're in this whole internet outrage culture where you find something dumb that somebody said, or in this case something that isn't at all dumb but which was phrased carelessly because, again, he was just fucking around, then you blow it out of proportion as worse than Hitler and

I totally am going to, by the way. Not in "protest," exactly, but because it's almost certainly going to be a pile of shit.

Sure, I don't disagree. But a person can shoot the shit informally and it's not quite fair to declaim that this is a window into his true soul, especially when it's by transcription, which destroys all nuance and humor.

I think the shitstorm is a little unfair. While Shulkie became a very interesting character after time, she did spend essentially her entire first series in her nightgown. The actual genesis of the character is that someone wanted to make a movie about a girl version of Spider-Man which Marvel wouldn't be able to

I like Nats Park better because the sight lines are so good. I haven't been too many games at Camden Yards, but the seats aren't always as well angled. Also you can't get Ben's Chili Bowl there.

It portrays a rape. That's not the same thing as dealing with rape.

I nominate Star Trek: The Next Generation's The Offspring. "Technically" it aired in 1990, but I just rewatched it a couple weeks ago and it is amazing.

I can. Because I have an archive of bound volumes of T.V. Guide in my basement.

It is in fact really hard to kill someone with a knife. (Uh, I've heard.) so even if you try, it's well within the realm of possibility that the victim will largely recover. Of course people get non-fatal gunshots too, but that stuff bounces around in there, so it's much more dangerous.

Yeah, you're right.

I never watched the whole thing, but mostly I remember how afraid they were of the interracial romance that they had Shaquille and the girl (was in Annabeth Gish?) hug dramatically at the end.

I'd say it's an hour and 40 minutes too long. You don't read A Princess of Mars and think "ponderous"! It's not at all a bad picture, but the type of film Byrd wanted to make didn't sit comfortably with the source material.

Is WW an interesting character though? I can't say I've read a huge portion of her appearances, but after Moulton it's mostly pretty banal. (I guess Byrne had some good notices back in the '80's, which I haven't read.) Maybe the reason no one can come up with a good film concept for her is that she doesn't have that

You obviously never read comics in the mid 1990's.

It's a heavily mountained region, so I wouldn't be surprised if the arable land is modest compared to the size in square miles.

Ned, too, when she told him of her disappointment in Robert.

The Arryns spent the last many years in King's Landing, so perhaps the people of the Vale don't have any particular connection to Lysa. It doesn't seem like it is too heavily populated anyway.

As easygoing as the Starks from the first episode, but less dumb.

The CN Tower in Toronto has a a section of glass floor. We were there last month and I was enjoying it quite a bit when my wife said "why aren't you freaking out?" And then immediately I was.

I agree that the stuff at the Wall seemed like filler this week, but it's a continuing problem for them, because it's been clear since the beginning that the real conflict isn't between the houses of this or that, or even between the Seven Kingdoms and the Kingdom Beyond the Wall, but between the humans and the White
