Let's hope that theory is true — at least the usual haters would have to come up with new material. "Aw, the fat lazy bastard is going to drop dead before… Oh. SHIT. Um…um… The fat hack bastard just expects us to swallow his bloated, half-arsed crap? SCREW YOU!"

Martin could just be TROLLING the "yes, you ARE my bitch" crowd — they don't exactly make it hard.

I'd just be chuffed if this go around they don't have a major plotline based on a woman being impregnated by her rapist.  Really, guys - you've been there, move on.

FFS, if  Doctor Who having an "element of sexuality" is unspeakably icky then perhaps we need TMI about how Time Lords reproduce. Or is "grand daughter" some creepy Gallifreyan euphemism?

I'm not sure Ryan Murphy understands how anything involving human beings works.  Bless.

You know, I think anyone expecting much in the way of water-tight plotting from a Murphy/Falchuk joint is just asking for special corpse-humping alone time with Nazi aliens. Or something.

Most people I know think my devotion to David Lynch is creepy, full stop and period.  But critically and in industry circles - Mulholland Drive got Lynch (arguably) the best and most consistent reviews of his career.

Let's discuss/decry the absence of Godfather from the top 10 and how shockingly low it placed overall.

Yeah, people who find Damsels in Distress offensively "white" should go see The Hunger Games instead — where all the non-white characters who aren't played by Lenny Kravitz are lucky to get dialogue and are just there to be slaughtered anyway.

Whiter than The Hunger (all non-white people with dialogue who aren't Lenny Kravitz? You're FUCKED) Games?

Yeah, because watching a movie about a spineless douche who sucks up to his boss by loaning out his apartment as a downlow fuckpad makes you soooo morally superior to Downton Abbey viewers. :)

After almost thirty years of marriage, Violet is still making bitchy remarks about her daughter-in-law being an American, and therefore inevitably getting everything wrong.  I don't think Cora (and her dowry) being of the Hebraic persuasion was that much of a problem, or the marriage would never have happened. 

I don't want to spoil the Christmas special (which hasn't screened in the US yet, I believe), but there's a development there which means Isobel isn't going anywhere any time soon.

And the Oscar for Most Stupid Rape Analogy Not Directed at George Lucas goes to…

I'd rather make fun of King for being a thin-skinned privilege-denying tin-eared douche who just happens to be gay.

Oh, all us folks of Irish descent suffer from alcohol-induced erectile dysfunction because we're permanently pissed.  Unless we're Catholic priests - then we can get it up to rape choir boys. Or something.  Didn't you get the memo?
