Friday and Saturday are movie nights in our house, with the choice rotating. Friday was Talladega Nights, Saturday was Waterworld, which I will say (and have said for a long time) is not as bad as it's rep.

It's Jeffrey "Wells." And Waterworld, while not astounding, is better than its reputation.

I'm sure it's been said, but re: the baby — come on. It's Ray's, there's really no other explanation. Ani was (presumably) not pregnant in the first four episodes, when she broke up with the one cop, and she wasn't pregnant two months later, the time frame I believe we were given between episodes four and five.

I love Speed Racer. I think it's a lot of fun. I would rather watch a spectacular Wachowski failure than just another mediocre film.

My first thought for Wednesday was Sydney Greenstreet, but that won't work.

I have always thought that perhaps the biggest flaw in the Star Wars prequels was that Anakin was simply too young. If Luke could be trained at age 18-20 (or whatever he was supposed to be), surely Anakin could have been trained at 14-16. I totally agree that it would have been better if he'd been a teenager with a…

I listened to this show, and Kim K was pretty funny. (I do not follow the K's, or watch the show.) She was pleasant, shared a couple of stories about her family, why she did her book, etc., and was no worse than any other celebrity they have on that segment. She also seemed to grasp the fact that her life was not…

I watched ESPN and espn2 when they carried the NHL. Once they dropped, I had no reason to watch (I never did watch the talk shows). And I still don't.

I love Ghibli movies. I have many of them, including this. I find I can't bring myself to watch it. I know it will be good, and heart-breaking, which is why I think I can't watch. (I have a tough time with "kids in peril" plot lines as it is.) Ebert said no Great Movie (and he named this as one of them) is depressing…

The sequels are watchable; I have them. The Crow was one of my favorite movies, so I was willing to give them a chance. Plus there are some interesting casting choices in them — Iggy Pop and Richard Brooks in "City of Angels," Kirsten Dunst in "Salvation," and David Boreanaz and Edward Furlong in "Wicket Prayer." I…

Good call. She was certainly out of there quickly.

There weren't that many horses left to start with. In the previous episode, Davos tells Stannis that many sellswords have left, and a bunch of horses froze during the night. So yes, I can believe that the remaining mercenaries took the remaining horses.

IIRC from having read Boardwalk Empire, the real-life "Nucky" did indeed marry a woman, whom he loved and who died early. So the story with Mabel may actually be drawn from that, although I wouldn't be surprised if it's informed by other stories like Gatsby.

I almost agree. However, both Davos and Roose Bolton point out that Stannis has many things working against him: the weather, which is brutally cold; his lack of supplies; Winterfell's defensive positions and fortifications; and again, the weather. Stannis can't go to Castle Black, or to Dragonstone, and he won't go…

It was fairly clear that things would not end well for Shireen for a while. I think the suspense, the gut-wrenching problem, was that after seeing Stannis more humanized in the scene where he talked about how he did everything to save her, we all hoped that this would not come to pass. The whole reason Stannis brought…

I have to agree, and considering Labyrinth has its… flaws, that's saying something. I watched The Dark Crystal a few months ago, I think, having never seen it when it was released. I love animated movies, I love Muppets, I love fantasy, and — I thought it was pretty bad. (And I'm someone who gets a kick out of Asylum…

My 7yo daughter just finished watching all of the old cartoons on Netflix. I'm sure she'll be thrilled to see this movie. And I have to admit, I'd go because a) don't think my husband would and b) it looks like a blast.

And he made a pretty good solo album, too.

Yes, I agree. If something works out for her but doesn't get the result she wants, she blames the person who carried out the order. Cersei has possibly let the prophecy basically take her agency away; she can blame everything wrong on the prophecy, or on the people who fail to make her plans come to fruition the way…

I think my favorite scene (aside from anything involving Varys and Tyrion) was Jaime and Cersei. Cersei slammed him for making every decision she had encouraged him to make, at her request — to stay away from the children, hide their parentage, etc. You could see the "don't bother me with logic" look in her eyes as…
