Dragon Thoughts:

So by extrapolation, in the next film, nine helicarriers will be shot down. Anything else is rest on one's laurels.

Dragon Thoughts:

I'm probably more conventional in my season preferences, but I'd say:

All too easy. But I literally laughed out loud.

It does sometimes seem that way. I think the intent is to have the dialogue be as straightforward, plain, and free from idioms as possible, so it kind of sounds like it might be just directly translated into modern speech from some original Scandinavian source. It doesn't always work, and the word "boyfriend"…

It's a more realistic depiction of a spoiled teenage version of grief, but it's kind of boring, especially compared to Arya's roaring rampage of revenge. And if there's one thing that doesn't play well on TV, it's boring.

So, what you're saying is . . . Bilbo, no matter what his age, is secretly an android?

Hoping this Captain recovers fully and quickly. Hate hearing that people are ill, even those I don't know firsthand.

Wanted to see CA: TWS (hmm, that's a bit unwieldy) this weekend, but didn't get around to it.

One of the few artistically interesting artists they ever play on those stations, in my opinion.

I suppose given who her father is and that fact that she didn't know that for quite some time apparently, it is quite conceivable that she would have some daddy issues. It would be interesting if she was trying to work through them in the roles she was taking in blockbusters. But realistically I doubt it; I think it's…

Or Liv Tyler playing a doctor. (Incredible Hulk.) It's just … no. But, she did fulfill her rule of being a daughter whose father doesn't like her love interest (see Armageddon, LOTR, probably others).

Don't particular care for Williams' comedy, but I'll get on board with disliking anything involving Sandler.

Haha! I hail from Wisconsin, and so also thought of the Governor first when I saw that name.

Seconded on Carruth. "Primer" is endlessly fascinating. "Upstream Color" is endlessly gorgeous.
