I never got the impression that Nadja didn’t know about Lazlo’s porn career, just that she thought it was boring.

RATS CAN’T MELT STEEL BEAMS!!!

She’d be way more muscular if it were a Ben Garrison cartoon.

Also interesting: this episode was directed by Jackie van Beek, who originated Guillermo’s role as the long-suffering familiar in the original film version. She’s also a wonderfully talented up-and-coming director. Check out her film “The Breaker Upperers.”

I don’t think it’s quite right that the NK’s ‘only goal’ is the 3ER, or that Bran was suggesting it was - the WWs have been heading for the wall and wighting wildlings since the beginning. The ‘goal’ still seems to be conquest and annihilation, but the 3ER is an important enough part of that goal that the WWs would…

Army of the dead is coming, why don’t we keep our kids safe in the room where we store... The dead...

We used to not care, back in the 1980s, when the dog would either lower its head and put its paws over its eyes, or pull down its sunglasses and leer.

It’s not the best or even a pivotal scene in the film, but with the final destination of Endgame in mind, this glimpse of Thanos might be the most relevant scene in the movie. I think it was a good learning experience for Marvel: they tried writing Thanos the way that he speaks in the Infinity Gauntlet series, and…

It doesn’t really matter, but as a medieval historian, I think you should consider a couple of things.

I don’t want to overstate this, because Ronan isn’t a particularly interesting villain, but I do think the “Ronan is boring and awful” line with regards to this movie is a bit much. I think he more or less works within the context of Guardians of Galaxy - he’s a humorless fanatic with a very clear, understandable…

Lee Pace’s Ronan doesn’t get much chance to shine, but man do I love his quiet, bewildered delivery of “What are you doing?” when Peter starts singing to him. It’s like what’s happening is so completely divorced from every aspect of his life up until this moment he’s totally incapable of responding to it.

Part of the point of this article is that he’s the male equivalent to the usual love interest characters in male-led movies, who also often had no drive to do anything other than be with the hero. Yes, maybe they were “clingy,” but it was really normalized at the time and I don’t think people tended to lob that term…

Did no one else notice the homage to, “An American Werewolf in London”? The lead werewolf was wearing a 1980's era bright red down jacket and looked very much like David Naughton.

I’ve said it before...but there is nothing even remotely creepy or scary about the 89 Zelda scenes.  Even back then I thought they were lame.  Why the fuck do people always talk about it like it’s the scariest scene put on film?

My favorite thing about the boxing-ring scene is Pepper screeching “OH MY GOD” after Nat hurls Happy to the floor. It’s such a great line reading.

Great cameo. The incredible hulk also works in another great cameo. Not just Stan Lee, but Bill Bixby!

My sister gets visibly rowdy whenever Hemsworth appears onscreen in ANY movie, MCU or not, and she quite visibly lost her shit at that scene. That gorgeous shot where he’s flying in wielding Stormbreaker and bristling with lightning is fucking amazing. Straight out of a comic.

Nerd confessional: I went to a convention where Sibel Kikelli, who played Shae, was last year. She talked about how even she was still thinking about Shae’s turn.

Probably my favorite movie we watched in my intro film class.

yall ever see Time Crimes? I loved that movie when it came out but have no idea how it’s held up. i think it could qualify as no special effects, or at least really low level of effects.
