Sansa took Jons trust and strangled it.

Dany only wanted it a secret because it threatens her throne. But, I’m torn between seeing it as Sansa giving the information to the one person who might be able to do something about it, and it being tacky to break your word to your bro—uh cousin.

I seriously don’t think Jaimie will kill Cersei. He won’t have the guts for it in the end.

And though it was a good scene, the hand wringing with Varys and Tyrion feels a little out of place here. Jon and Dany are on the same side in this war, so the question of “who will rule” really seems like a conversation best left until AFTER the real Mad Queen is defeated.

Not really - in my neighbourhood, dominated by two multiplexes, they just shoved every other film out of the way. Look, if the House of Mouse has the clout to put its corporate thumb on the scales that hard good on it, I suppose — but let’s not pretend it’s any kind of miracle.

Uh, up to a point — but I’m going to write a reality check. I don’t know if this is typical, but in my neighbourhood there are two multiplex chains and over the weekend if you didn’t want to see Endgame you were shit out of luck.  Literally.  Over the last four days, on sixteen screen, there were a grand total of…

Here’s an even more basic bullshit call on that statement. Is Spielberg going to call for Ingmar Bergman’s Best Foreign Language Oscar for Fanny and Alexander (for which he was also nominated for best director and original screenplay) to be rescinded? After all, it was originally conceived and shot as a mini-series…

Aw. that’s sweet. Meanwhile, let’s remind ourselves of what it actually takes for a feature to qualify for Oscar consideration.

Yeah, and this was the one point where Peele scored a solid F on the horror literacy test. Take Halloween — Hell, that horror classic infamously lampshades that it explains precisely nothing (How did Michael learn to drive in the asylum? “He was doing a good job of it last night!”) The more you explain about Michael…

Also: Have they heard of fucking Nobel Prize laureate Kazuo Ishiguro?  He has an “English background” and if they ever make a bio-pic about hism it’s going to be a pretty serious fuck up if they cast Hugh Grant in the lead.

The point is: The issue was only addressed when the actor concerned took notice of the backlash and said “Fuck this shit, I’m out of here.”  The damage control now consists of the folks making what I understand is a pretty close adaptation of a comic book story arc expecting us to believe they just didn’t “pay…

1) Satan doesn’t need you help.

At this point, why bother asking? The Walking Dead gave up giving a fuck about actually earning its shock moments instead deciding to just skate by on a whole of idiot plotting and hand-wavium.  I guess there’s still a viable audience of people who don’t care either, so what do I know? 

Well, yeah - Shazam’s supposed to look utterly, absurdly OTT.  Which makes perfect sense to me when you’re talking about a tween with a magic word and audiences probably shouldn’t be thinking too hard about how generally creepy some crusty old wizard basically abducting children is,

Uh, much as I love Terry Pratchett he didn’t create the very basic (but endlessly flexible) conceit that Gods need believers more than believers ultimately need them and they don’t necessarily travel well,

Indeed - and Georgia has very generous tax concessions and incentives for film and television production.  Long as nobody has any idea how the Brexit shit-gasm is going to play out, I wouldn’t be making too many plans on similar schemes in the UK lasting much longer in their present form,

To be honest, if anyone asked me if The Orville was worth a catch-up I’d recommend giving the first five episodes a wide pass then cut the rest of the first season a fair amount of slack.

Gordon being his usual juvenile smart-ass self — and they really laid that on with a dump truck most of the first season. As far as I recall, nobody actually knows that much about the Kaylons.

That’s one aspect of the first season that’s creeping back in, and I’d like to go away again. Seriously, people “My ex-wife cheated on me, and I’m never going to shut the fuck up about it instead of being an arsehole in incredibly unprofessional and obnoxiously passive-aggressive ways” isn’t tired. It’s in a medically…
