Agreed.. Hotel Rwanda for instance was literally G-rated compared to what actually happened (and is still happening).

Indeed. A slow, miserable torture where the pimp’s tongue is removed, followed by fingers, then limbs - so that the only future harm they can cause is by offense of their existence.

I’ve got a buddy who lives in Apache Junction, just in the shadow of the Superstitions. He says it’s all the time that tourists get overconfident in the clear visibility of the barren desert and think they can go exploring off-trail. Before long they’re lost in a canyon with no bearings and the S&R team have to…

Sanctuary Music, the management company for Iron Maiden, was the largest indie-owned music rights company in the world for a about two decades. Maiden was their very first customer, meeting in a London pub back in 1979 (and Sanctuary’s founding partner Rod Smallwood still manages the band to this day) and at their…

I wish when I was arrested I had the presence of mind to give the mugshot camera a smug, knowing smile. All I could think about in the drunk tank was the crushing shame of losing at the game of life.

Yeah, this ray-traced crap does nothing for me.  It’s purely proof-of-concept hype to justify Nvidia’s overpriced gaming hardware. [Admission:  I own a GTX1070 but I bought it second-hand for $250USD -hard to say No to a deal like that]

. AGree. These blockbuster military FPS are high-tech recruitment tools for the military

Why bother with higher education at all? Sounds like the parents have money to burn. Surely a marriage to some millionaire trust-fund kid and a fabulous inheritance is in her future.  
 

Notice how he states “..when [we] first met..” subtly implying they’ve met since then- i.e. the relationship isn’t over.

its a blog, not the New York Times dude.

Musician of mediocre talent desperately tries to remain relevant or at least sell books. I cringed at his writing: his use of egregious to describe panic just reads awkwardly. It’s like he had another word in mind (severe or intense or horrible) and went looking for a fancy-looking synonym instead. Egregious is a…

TLDR; troubled brainiac did not build a nuclear reactor.

cool.. I might give those a look-see !

exactly.. the Hodor event appears to be a fluke (though the books make it clear that Ned Stark did hear (or *thinks he hears* a boy yell “Father” as he climbed the Tower of Joy) .. now people think Bran has Doctor Who or Thanos powers.

the previous 3ER was only about 150 years old when he died.. I can’t remember if that’s a book number or a show number.. 

oh damn, you’re good at this

There’s no way “the people” would put a crown on Jon’s head after he killed the Queen he pledged himself too.  The same queen who invaded Westeros and happened to be his own aunt who he was in love with.  Even if “the people” did put a crown on his head, he wouldn’t have it because killing the woman he loved - his…

hey, a Lannister always pays his debts.

because a general audience (who hasn’t read the books) will be easily wowed by the impressive production values, amazing battle carnage, dragons, tug-at-the-heartstring moments ... just like a general audience is easily wowed at new Star Wars films.. which is why we got a visually elaborate but confusingly written…
