That seems unlikely.

There are two problems with Gangs. First, as awesome as the movie is (and I like it a lot), it can't quite contain the sheer force of nature that is Daniel Day-Lewis's Bill the Butcher. I actually think this is almost a problem with DDL at this point, because the same criticism can almost be made of There Will Be

DeNiro wasn't exactly starving for his art before going full Walken on script choices. That's not to say I condemn him for making the movies he makes or that it takes away from his earlier great performances, but "Hey, they gotta make money at some point" is not really a justification here.

What are you talking about? The third act is insane, and the ending—Belfort doing time at Camp Fed before selling the world how to be a scumbag like him—is not only brutal, but forms a perfect complement to Goodfellas.

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad about it.

Arby's: Killing Your Libido is a Feature, not a Bug

Admit it, he lost you earlier in the sentence. I mean, "sleeps, showers, works out"? C'mon son.

Why do True Detective Season 3 if you're going to get rid of Pizzolato? It's not like he owns the idea of self-contained seasons or noir. You could just do another show and take the parts you like.

This is a good example of what I think is typical True Detective criticism. Not to pick on you, but if you think Pizzolato's writing is awful, why would you care what happens with True Detective? It's Pizzolato's brainchild: if he makes bad stuff, then you can just ignore it and hope it dies.

I also liked season 2, and I feel like it got a bum rap from people who had very selective memories of both season 1 and of their own reactions to season 1. That said, I'd love to see a strong director brought in and used for every episode, a la Cary Fukunaga, although I gather that Cary himself won't have anything

Yeah, the Ironborn resemble Spartans a lot more than they do Vikings in basically all but aesthetics. Obsessive warriors with a civilization that basically only functions on the backs of a large slave underclass kept in check by their martial prowess ruled by a monarchy with a semi-democratically elected king.

Ramsey is too low-level to be Marlo. Marlo is a gamechanger who displaces the existing order. Ramsey wouldn't have amounted to much if he weren't Bolton's bastard. He's uncommonly vile, but that's about his only distinguishing characteristic.

Marlo is clearly the Night's King. Amoral, violent and expansionist without clear motivation beyond a desire for more power and territory.

Multimedia? Many mediums? Very medium? This is the most layered euphemism for "tiny" I've ever seen.

Technically psychotic Mr. A, no? Who was the predecessor to both Rorschach and Question.

I'm pretty sure Mark Millar already wrote that comic?

I don't even own a TV, as a point of pride, goes back at least to the early '80s, if not before then.

Two things. First, the median SNL audience member is either an AARP member or within spitting distance of membership. Second, SNL is fucking terrible, so only people too old to know how to use the internet but too young to have bridge partners still watch.

Senior citizens have one of the highest voting rates of any demographic.

Circus clowns put on an act and often have talents like juggling. Being a Fox News bullpen talking head is more like being a rodeo clown: you're trotted out to distract some guest and possibly get verbally humiliated by the guest and/or host.
