I actually deliberately waited until 10 to eat so I could eat while watching Hannibal — not because I'm a sick human being, but because I don't like just eating; I like to eat while doing something else like watching TV (similarly I will only talk on the phone while in the car, because I can't stand just talking on…

Tell me more about this beer battered okra . . .

Binge watching the first two seasons across a long weekend left me feeling like I lived in a waking dream for about a week.

I couldn't figure out what felt so familiar yet unsettling when I watched Under the Skin. Now I know. It reminded me of watching Hannibal. Thanks!

Thanks for the very thoughtful reply (replies)! I think you have some really interesting ideas and agree that the context could be meatier and more sensical (not a word). I originally was a bit disappointed that Sansa was so timid/vulnerable in that scene (rather than hardened or resolved as you put it), since she did…

Fine.

I know. You're right. I actually dithered about posting that. I'm still hoping that Sansa might have plans of her own separate from Littlefinger's agenda. Feel free to come back to point and laugh at me here when that more than likely turns out to be a foolish hope.

Your post accusing me of avoiding your point was in response to the comment I wrote in response to your post of one sentence. You later posted another comment containing a more elaborate explanation of why you dislike the scene. Your "second paragraph" was in an entirely different comment than the one to which I…

Lol. Fair enough. George is not the "best" Beatle, but he's my favorite Beatle. We will agree to disagree, assuming we agree that all the Beatles are some level of awesome (and actually you can disagree with that if you want to. I don't mind.).

Dude, I addressed your point so thoroughly that I actually quoted it before moving on. Your "point" was a single sentence in which you stated that the scene was cheap, insulting, and too stomach-churning to tolerate. You did not back that up with any reasoning or evidence. I can't tell you that you shoudn't feel that…

What would have been a better way of depicting it (I'm not being confrontational here; I really want to know)? They didn't show Sansa's/Sophie's body, they didn't show her being violated, they made it clear it was awful . . . Other than not depicting it all (which I find worse because it excuses the audience from…

My comment included my thoughts on other comments I've read objecting to the scene across these boards, not only the content of your comment. But please feel free to be unnecessarily aggressive and demeaning during what might otherwise be a civil conversation about differing points of view regarding a piece of pop…

God I love "If I Needed Someone." I've never forgiven whoever wrote the Rolling Stone tribute after his death for referring to George Harrison as "the loneliest Beatle" and using "If I Needed Someone" as an example. Did he never actually listen to that song? Urgh! Now I'm angry again.

Ah George. He was always the best and handsomest Beatle. I remember waking up my boyfriend when George died because I thought he'd want to know right away, and he looked at me, devastated, and asked why on earth I would wake him to tell him something like that rather than letting him sleep a little while longer in a…

My house has floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. It could be in Beruit and I wouldn't leave it.

I've argued about this too much elsewhere, and far be it from me to dictate what another considers "cheap, insulting and . . . stomach churning" (well, I agree that it was stomach churning, but I don't think that's necessarily a flaw), but:

I am deeply, deeply fond of the Wig-sphere. It's so ridiculously iconic.

SPOILERS I SUPPOSE IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW:

Try being in Knoxville. It's like Nashville, only with even less getting of things.

That I don't disagree with. It's just so many complaints center around "titillated viewers," none of whom I've ever met (nor would want to). That and the complaint that it "ruins" Sansa's arc (the one that's not finished yet) drive me crazy.
