    That answer is a huge mistake.

    One measures the calorie content of bottomless fries in lives wasted and achievements left unaccomplished. But really it's done with the Atwater system.

    Well, since you so thoroughly destroyed my post, I suppose I should oblige your request. Indy films that made the AVClub best of 2013 but were awful:

    You still completely miss the point. I tried my best, but you seem intelligent enough so at this point I'm going to have to assume you're being deliberately obtuse.

    I think the Wheel of Time series got a fresh breath and wrapped up better than expected after Robert Jordan passed away. I'd like GRRM to finish this series, but after the slogfest that was ADWD (like books 6-10 or so of Wheel of Time) I'm pretty much okay with someone else taking over one day.

    Literary devices were used in the book being reviewed which raise red flags for many readers since they usually are badly done and frequently annoy. They were used well here. That's a valid point to make.

    The reviewer pointed out specific literary elements which can be expected to annoy were actually well done here. You come back with 'all writing can be done badly.' This showed you did not comprehend the point she was making. We could bog down with attempts to quantify the percentage of writing in general which can

    Most of us understood perfectly well what she meant and agreed with the statement. Your lack of comprehension does not make it silly.

    All of those can be done well, but are more frequently done badly. Put all three together and odds of annoyance are pretty high.

    To be fair, while reading one of the forty-ish page long stretches in War and Peace where plot and characters are abandoned for a diatribe about how history is shaped by the masses and not individuals I thought maybe Tolstoy, genius though he was, could have used a little editing sometimes.

    Once you believe in magic sky creatures and talking bushes, you pretty much accept anything.

    Abut fur wuks.

    It's measured in units of erotic-magnetism flux and therefore cannot be explained.

    The show has had a number of cringe-inducing 'no one would be that dumb' moments that are completely out of character for whoever's involved in the service of an unnecessary plot detail. I like the show, but the writing has certainly got its ups and downs.

    People with blood type B+ tend to be positive.

    In this memoir he discusses his abuse at the hands of his uncle Walder.

    I see it as them ignoring an unimportant part of the canon. As we haven't seen any of the ideas they actually have included, it's impossible to judge whether they will be bland at this point.

    Yes. You've convinced me. No one should ever take an interesting idea into a new direction. Down with the infidels.

    You would say that, you communist fascist poopypants.
