Is she competent? Helping the Starks could very well get her flayed to death. I imagine this will work out in the end because the alternative would be too grim even for Game of Thrones, but being the first to join up with a band of Wildlings and the two most-wanted people in the North doesn't seem particularly sharp.…

You could stay a bit longer.

Oh. That was the joke, huh? Okay.

Is the Who Let the Dogs Out thing a reference? If it is, I guess I missed it.

Two things, etc.

They never do on TV. They always set the chunk of wood on a stump and then swing the ax down on it. That's dangerous and inefficient - the always wobbly wood is as likely to fly off as it is to split, and it could deflect the ax down onto your foot. You should tap the ax gently on top of the wood, and then swing the…

Based on what I've seen so far, I'd be surprised if Modell has much of the Stones. Probably just 40 Licks.

He's a music critic; he got a bunch of this stuff for free. Or used. He's more like the music industry's dream-analyzing shrink.

It's the Meme Decade.

Staying Alive. Across the Universe. And this list some IMDB user assembled (can't forget the musician bio-pics): http://www.imdb.com/list/ls…

I usually don't like live albums, as I find the chatter and crowd noise sort of distracting. But I'll take Townes Van Zandt's Live at the Old Quarter to my grave, corny jokes and all.

I really don't find the Beatles that over-saturated. It costs a pretty penny to use their music, so they don't get into shows and commercials very often. A lot of their deeper cuts still sound fresh to me. If he ends up only keeping the red and blue collections, he'll really be missing out. But then again, he has it…

Before X-Men, the only thing I'd seen McKellan in was Last Action Hero, where he played Death for about two minutes of screen time (and totally crushed it).

A search of Wikipedia reveals any number of alleged film trilogies completed prior to 1983, but for Jean Grey to believe that, she'd have to hold an entirely unfair opinion of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

Still a better love story than Twilight.

There was some good material in X3. Magneto's line about how no one ever talks about extermination, they just do it - I probably quote or paraphrase that line more than any other from the trilogy (or most movies, for that matter). And the cure was an intriguing conflict. When Mystique gets "cured" and Magneto just…

Seems unlikely. Magneto nearly destroyed all of human civilization (and must have killed millions of people), and he's happily building a house at the end, totally not imprisoned or murdered by vengeful survivors. I'd love to see a movie deal with that kind of global catastrophe, but I don't think the next X-Men film…

This may have been discussed before, but while the "third one's always the worst" line was ostensibly a jab at X3, is Apocalypse not the third film in a trilogy as well? I can't tell if the line was meant to be self-deprecating, or if this movie was just that lacking in self-awareness.

All we got on the show was the scene where he molested Maggie. And good on the show for at least taking some time to deal with that.

I don't know how closely they plan to follow the comics, but don't give up on them just yet.
