Grocery store needing to evacuate is a pretty small edge case. Evacuation of child that happens to be in a cart at the time is an even tinier edge case.

That is total bullshit and you have to know that. People don’t steal “popular” stuff. Theft is mostly opportunistic. “Can I get away with taking this stuff?” They grab what works, not “what is the cool trend in treats or shopping right now”.

The article seems all sorts of pointless but looking for a point. Will be be the next great colonizer? No. As you pointed out yourself, his mother headed the post colonial UK, so that is where things are now historically. You also point out that he has no real political power, then try to say he does by appointing the…

I doubt it is intentional coding as bi-sexual. More likely those scenes are just there to make it more dramatic when they are at odds later in the show. While GRRM DOES have homosexual characters, in the book these particular characters were separated much farther in age and had no relationship really at all. In the…

So there are always going to be people who dislike ANY diversity in casting. Those people are generally known as idiots.

They are honestly better films for it.

I think you are stretching on the misogyny call. Someone suggests a young character for marriage because it makes sense for political reasons, and the King says “not going to happen”. Hardly sounds misogynistic.

The queen and her child are about to die in childbirth. The king is horrified at the option of just saving…

I would not be surprised that the public serving of papers was less about embarrassing her (although I am sure that was a bonus), and more about cornering her in a situation where she was caught off guard and not able to dodge being served.

Yeah, Amy Schumer was a waste. But to be fair, Sting was a throw away character as well. He was just a better one.

No, you are probably right. But then again, I wish someone had the sense to kill of that film too.

Without giving away a spoiler, I will just say that she has a great moment in season 2 as well.

Yeah, this war is pretty damn debilitating overall. I would not be surprised if that would be a reason for pushing back progress for a good while.

I mean, this sort of show and its hype IS what this site is about after all. In a bit I am sure we will get flooded with even more Amazon LotR stories. One can always just not read them of course.

So Fire and Blood reads more like an unreliable history than a novel. It is supposedly spliced together from the accounts of 4 main sources, some more reliable and some more salacious than others. As a result, there is a lot of room to flesh out the sparse accounts and turn that book into a skeleton for several…

I will say that my wife watched the early couple of episodes of Game of Thrones and opted out. But after this first episode of House of the Dragon she is pretty hooked in, at least for now. So I don’t think you need to be a big fan of the last one to get interested here.

I don’t know about that. Crappy films get finished and released all the time (Catwoman, Speed 2, etc). This time it just happened that a new management happened to come in and kill a few projects late in the process.

Of course there won’t be. I am just pointing out that he still has a rabid fan base.

If he somehow made another POTC film, the theaters would still be packed by people who want to see that character and really don’t care about the trial.

The Producers, Director, and other production people who routinely make those sort of decisions at A24.

YES! ^^^
