I think that says a lot more about September releases than the general state of the world.

I'd be curious to see if she could lead an action film. It seems to help with the pay rankings at any rate.

It would just end up like pro sports, nothing changes for the fans except for the acrimonious battles between the studios and the actors.

Presumably they need a long, harsh winter to grip Westeros in order to conquer it. The long night didn't even allow them enough to do the trick, so the shorter winters that have been experienced have just had the Walkers biding their time.

You can get by without hats in the winter until about twenty below, after that it gets a little nippy and you just need a hood. Once it's actually cold though you really feel it on your ears.

I didn't like Ocean's 12 & 13 but other than that I think he's amazing.

The bulk of the monuments happened +-10 years of the 50th anniversary, which also coincided with many of the veterans passing on. The civil rights monuments are much fewer in number.

The conditions of POW camps were horrendous and a lot of people died from preventable disease. That plaque is more of a tombstone than anything.

In the book it makes more sense. His version of a world where the Nazis and Japanese have effectively conquered the world is an outlandish premise, which is acknowledged by his book where the USA and Britain conquer the world. He alludes to this throughout the book.

It could be that if I wanted to read about the actual War of the Roses I'd just go out and do it. Instead I'm reading a fictionalized account of medieval Europe that doesn't feature a lot of black characters because the author never put them there. Go and blame Martin if that's your gripe.

Most of the statues were built 40+ years after the war ended and likely began as memorials to fathers who began to die of old age and the 50th anniversary of the war. Statues of generals and officers were easier to fund because of them being more well known. The actual secessionists have very, very few statues and…

Why would a show based off of Medieval Europe have a lot of black people in its cast?

But we already have that, it's called what actually happened.

Even as big as Westerns is, sea travel is pretty quick and it wouldn't be too long of a trip from Dragonstone to Eastwatch. To Winterfell is probably weeks and weeks, but the sea is the highway of transport in the era.

It explains Tyson's relationship to the crown and the Mad King extremely well though.

The alt-right loves a lot of things that have no actual bearing on the creation of the movement.

Firstly, I think that 300 being the creation of the alt-right is borderline insanity. Tom is just projecting (he did the same thing with the Matrix and the red pill). It's extremely anachronistic.

He saved King's Landing from burning to the ground during Robert's Rebellion. He sacrificed his reputation doing a supremely selfless act that nobody to this day knows about (save Brienne). In the books he's rebuilding his honour, but in the show nobody really knows where his arc is going, hence the dilemma.

The nuking of the fridge is just something that would happen to Indy. He used a life raft to fall out of a plane, escaped onto a Nazi submarine and chased a tank on horseback. The fridge is legit.

Why? Something beyond the realm of human understanding happened and the two leads were at the epicentre, of course they'd be interrogated.
