Westeros doesn't have nursing homes because people like The Mountain think nothing of eating old people as a form of beef jerky. If they did have bombs and nursing homes, I believe that bombing nursing homes would be considered a kind of hobby or light-hearted diversion in SoIaF.

Put me down for adoring Middle Cyclone.  The back half of that album blows my mind…I can practically listen to Prison Girls and The Pharaohs on repeat.  I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this album yet, but I do enjoy Man on its own merits and as a very different sort of thing for her.  Also, Night Still Comes…

Speaking of which, where the fuck is the Janelle Monae review?

@avclub-d7b683529752a4d24d84c4941861a363:disqus , I don't know why, but I'm just going to give her permission to be a bit of a slob.  I'm more concerned to hear that she's been depressed (if not particularly surprised, based on her music).  I mean, it's like you're seeing this tortured genius and you're like: man, she…

Damn…I didn't even know.  I would have made the trek from Suffolk.  Where does one find out about such things?

The thing with the false confession is that unless Hank is able to get some actual evidence on Walt, then Walt's story is the more credible one.  It's a lot easier to imagine a hard case DEA agent gone bad over Walt's far more improbable truth.  It also means that if Hank does decide on some vigilante justice, his and…

I agree with this so much.  I think the whole point of Pennsatucky's character is that not everyone in prison is a delightfully quirky person with terrible luck; some of them are ignorant, terrible people who belong there.

Now we know why the ratings were up.

I was also struck by the fact that the fact that the video was about how people were trying to force the band into the image of various prior bands, but they insist of course, on being themselves.  So there's the whole irony angle.  The video and music were actually more painful than I expected them to be.  I mean, if…

I totally disagree that Aesop has no flow.  Lyrics are somewhere that I think people are genuinely entitled to their opinions, but you're objectively wrong about him having no rhythm, flow or emotion.  You might be right about the fun part, I gotta admit.  His earlier stuff was a little lighter and more playful, but I…

One of my favorite lines, ever.

Because "I know you want it," is always a prelude to "…and thus I will ignore your protests as I violate you."  It's implied!

I'm right with you about Rises being a disappointment, but it was not the worst Batman movie ever made, unfortunately.  Perhaps we are forgetting about the Schumacher years?

There were at least two LOL lines in that lovely little diatribe, @avclub-23cc92585eacb29f4df03ed17e222333:disqus (I actually chortled at "high-pitched riddles").  Points for also being totally correct.

Could it have something to do with the fact that she's in amazing shape?  She has a beautifully athletic body.

Finally, someone takes a stand against the third rail of culture of which no others dare speak: actresses under the knife.  Bravo, @avclub-0de6dd3e9c3035563f798edb70fd1955:disqus !

Wow, remind me to never joke with you about rape.

You're getting better at it…

Maybe she wants to maintain the fiction of financial independence so as not to be drawn in by the singularity of her husband's absurd wealth, at the bottom of which is a nexus of glamour, decadence, sex, power and death.  I'm just sayin…

@avclub-d4ff3c518d33328bfadc34f25b054267:disqus , your name feels especially appropriate today.
