I have yet to see anyone online or in person admit to making a huge mistake by voting for Trump. I'm also willing to go along with the idea that some good people just wanted to send an angry message and didn't think he'd actually win. But there seem to be exceedingly few of these people.

I had heard of it, but never bothered to watch it until people started freaking out about the April Fools' Day episode, and my Facebook feed was suddenly full of people talking about the Mulan dipping sauce. I think that April Fools Day screening was one of the more successful publicity stunts in recent history. I…

The sad thing is that Kid Rock is a fraud in this regard, just like Trump or Larry the Cable Guy. Robert Ritchie grew up in the wealthy Detroit suburbs, and the white trash thing is just an act he puts on to appeal to his audience.

Here's the thing about that — I was always more of a PC gamer and I showed up to college with a $2,000 rig that could play Quake 2 and Half Life with all the settings maxed out.

My wife was confused every time I laughed at this series. I actually spent five minutes explaining why the Mark and Claire thing was so funny. Nothing. Some of us find our soulmate and some of us wind up married to people who don't think WHAS is funny.

James Cameron released Titanic four years before Fellowship. And before that, he'd released True Lies (141 min), T2 (137 min), The Abyss (145 min), and Aliens (137 min). Three of those movies have a longer director's cut that pushes 3 hours.

I liked Margaery.

Dany pulled a One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest on Drogo to spare him from his vegetative state. Don't see her doing the same to put Drogon out of his misery.

I don't think the cold opens work this season because of the established template — that 80's riff gradually gets louder and then the title pops on full screen in a way that implies premature ejaculation and fun teenage party times. Doing that cold open routine over an elderly president of the United States breaks…

Boy I really hope someone got fired for that blunder.

I think we'll know soon enough — Bran will tell Jon about his true parentage as soon as Jon gets back to Winterfell. So they're either going to hook up in this episode and have ignorance-is-bliss incest, or he's going to leave Dragonstone with still only the Ygritte notch on his belt, and later knowingly hook up with…

I'm from Queens just like Trump — I hear you. When I was in my 20s, I hated the upturned noses from Columbia and NYU kids whenever they found out I was from the outer boroughs and not especially wealthy. But I got over that in a way Trump never did. And sometimes the snobs are right.

I just think it's great that the one thing Trump ever wanted — the approval of the Manhattan elite and city institutions like the New York Times — is the one thing he can never have. Trump will never be celebrated in New York the way Obama is celebrated in Illinois.

People pushing 50 tend not to write professionally for pop culture websites.

Nearly every named character on the show is part of the Westerosi one-percent. We spend very little time with anyone who isn't highborn, and even the bastard Jon Snow turns out to have the best claim to the Iron Throne. The 99-percent of peasant farmers are mostly invisible. I got the sense that Ned was poor…

They haven't been satisfied lately.

I always liked that Major Briggs was all the things you listed, but he also spent his career chasing UFOs and interdimensional beings.

Yes, in our universe, NIN is headlining Riot Fest Chicago, a festival that routinely draws 150,000 attendees, which is somewhat larger than the ~200 person capacity of the Roadhouse.

Lawrence isn't very good at communicating, but in fairness to him I don't think he's responsible for coming out and saying "I'm just interested in short-term sex." If he had actually said that, he'd have to stop hooking up with Tasha earlier than he'd be ready to. Guys who have been cheated on always seem to go…

Yeah that was just Molly wishing she had a man who could do things like carry the bookshelf to her car. She makes it, but it's a challenge, and this is the sort of thing she wouldn't have to worry about if she were in a relationship. But unlike last season, we see that she's not willing to just settle for anybody,…
