"A 28-year-old Elizabeth Banks was “too old” to play Spider-Man’s Mary Jane"

Sounds like the Sopranos meets Everybody Loves Raymond

It was beautifully shot, but it felt like they stretched out 4 plot points for the final 40 minutes of the episode. Basically, you have:
- Rickon getting killed
- Jon's army charging early and getting surrounded
- Vale coming in to save the day
- Jon chasing down Ramsay
Just way too much screen time for those being the…

The weirdest thing about the ending is that it would have made perfect sense if Arya had swapped faces with the waif and hung her own up on the wall.

How is it sexist that casting calls for conventionally sexy women exist? I think criticism of sexism in Hollywood stems from the disparity in the number of prestige roles available by gender, not what Rose McGowan's audition calendar looks like in 2015.

Because the main thing holding Akira back is the fact that it's animated…

All I'm addressing is the significance of Wiener using contextual cues to suggest Don made the ad as opposed to explicitly linking him to it. The show is about Don and not his ads, and Wiener's narrative choice shifts the focus of the ending from what he does to who he is.

Well when I say his new guilt-free outlook, I only mean it with regard to his perspective on his line of work. I think he still feels guilty about how he treated everyone around him in the past, and rightfully so, but he's now also capable of making amends in all of his relationships where the damaged he caused wasn't…

I couldn't tell you because I never said he didn't write it, just that the circumstances behind the ad's creation are never revealed and that ultimately it is irrelevant to the outcome of Don's character.

I think the coke ad at the end was meant to serve as a sort of red herring, which is why Don working on it was only implicitly suggested as opposed explicitly shown. Sure, the similarities between the retreat and ad are striking, but I wouldn't call it a stretch to see it as a coincidence. For me, the important thing…

Yeah, I think he'll serve as a demonstration that large-scale marketing campaigns and assertive business tactics are always necessary for big success, even in Silicon Valley; companies who don't have it just get bought out. If you look at Belson's reaction to his marketing team's Nucleus commercial, he doesn't seem…

It's true, but you also have to admit that most of the biggest companies in Palo Alto became so huge by eschewing early profitability for the purpose of allowing more open access to their products.

I'm calling it right now, Hanneman's strategy is actually exactly what Pied Piper needs to succeed, and the season's going to end with him trying to sell it off to Gavin Belson.

Obviously the pedophile. The show is pulpy garbage, but it's not about Chris Hansen going around raping kids.

Space Station Silicon Valley

Weird, I just find it hard to imagine a era of filmmaking so sexist that all female protagonists weren't wearing full-body leather catsuits, but I suppose truth is stranger than fiction.

Sorry, but this episode was a mess. It was a just a drawn out, much more poorly done version of the earlier flashback with Marco. The scams they showed weren't nearly as clever or believable as the first one with the rolex, Marco wasn't developed any further and they killed him off for no reason in a ridiculous way,…

I think most of the difficulty in Dark Souls comes from how it leaves you in the dark about the optimal way to upgrade your stats and spend your souls. Once I learned how to spend souls efficiently by matching stats to weapon requirements, how stat-based weapon boosts and upgrading worked, and that specialization was…

Goddamn, now I really want a PS4. I just can't in good conscience pay launch price if they're gonna take over a year to release something I feel like I have to play. I'll just cross my fingers for a price drop before Kingdom Hearts comes out.
