I could see keeping a separate thread to discuss book related elements, since there's a fair amount that didn't make it to the screen. Like that fucking Kingsguard in Dorne story.

Yeah, that weird doll eyed version had some interesting twists too it that would have been more interesting had the story of Beowulf already been told well. But changing it to make Beowulf a monster fucker just felt like watching the fan fiction version of it.
If there is ever a movie or show to cast a professional wrestler as the star, it should be Beowulf. When you need someone to tear the arm off a giant monster, you need to look like you eat a lot of protein bars.
Yeah, my girlfriend and I have been watching it for our whole relationship…. ah, she was always complaining when I tried to fast forward through the "next on" segments, because they would have some bit that wasn't in the rest of the show.
I would suggest checking youtube for Wire Season recaps…. I know when I was watching Mad Men, those things were more helpful than the show's previously on.
I've watched about 6 of these already. That's got to be a new record for me and AVclub top movie lists. Two years ago I hadn't even heard of 2/3s of the movies.
Some of the secrets in Mario 3 were so obscure, I can't imagine knowing about them without Nintendo Power, unless they were OCD enough to canvas every level with a P wing.
Once again, a YA movie that can have its title completely rearranged without it making any less sense. Would The Scorch Runner: The Trial Maze be any different?
"Hmm… does this mean I can suck my own…. well, maybe I should. You know. For science."
Having the Thing's catch phrase be related to domestic abuse is just terribly sad. It's like a having a hero whose one liner is "Don't make me do this Gina!" or "Tell 'em you ran into a door!"
Also known as Russian Christmas.
Ah, Breakfast at Tiffany's, or "Mickey Rooney is playing who? Oh. Oh NO."
I enjoyed him in that movie because I thought it was such a clever character he'd brought to life. Not that he actually was that guy.
Adam Sandler's ears are burrrrrning.
I think the movie might play a little differently now, knowing what we know about Mr. Cameron and that pig.
It's not Mr. Bean's fault that Snape didn't go to the 'Mistress Gift Wrapping Station', where it's done quickly by the guy from Benny Hill, who then gives you a high five.
He did a great job costaring with Colin Firth's fist in Bridget Jone's Diaries.
Then he'd still be in the store waiting for it all to get wrapped.
That kind of shit only flies if you've never had your heart really crushed by someone you love. I know lots of people that get super sugary about their partners being the best ever, but at the same time, most of them have never had a really terrible, drawn out break up of a relationship that they still were invested…
"Good Grief!"
