I understand that Obara, Nymeria, and Yara served as “Worfs” to show how powerful and fearsome Euron and his men are (though I don’t believe there’s been any mention of his whole crew being tongueless), but it was still a bit annoying for the action to basically come down to really big strong guys overpowering…

I suspect yes, but without anything infringeable.

A drawn-out scene of floor-sweeping to the beat of “Green Onions” felt self-indulgent.

Crucifixion wounds are in the wrong place. You’d think they’d at least get that right, but they didn’t.

Well when you said “Just one Sunbaked, apocalyptic love story with cannibals” I was going to say “But ... ‘A Boy and His Dog’” but this also looks kind of interesting.

I bought a ‘90 G60 new. It was the first car I’d bought from a dealer. Loved it, put 180,000 miles on it (replaced the transmission once, but neither the engine nor the g-lader!), bought a WRX wagon and kept the Corrado in the garage for a couple more years until my wife bought her ‘03 MINI Cooper S, finally sold…

It was the in-thing to have everyone die (pointlessly, if possible) or…

That is the face of a man who did not see this coming.

“Happy Working Song” is (among other accomplishments) the finest musical performance by a cockroach ensemble in a dirty bathroom since “Joe’s Apartment” and is why I will always love this movie.

For anyone not familiar, Behold!

I remember sitting on the couch with my jaw hanging. THAT’s how you open a show, not with a soporific ballad.

Enterprise had my least-favorite (by lightyears) opening Trek credits, but also (with the mirror episode) has my favorite Trek credits.

Yes. Yes. Yes, and yes. I wish I could give more stars to this post.

Fuck Yeah!! Some good news to start off a Friday, for once.

Number Two, Sir!!

I think we all need to eat some bagna cauda in his honor. :(

Well I think I can safely guarantee our household’s 4 butts in theater seats and a Blu-Ray purchase...

Well, yes: Some times those Windus upgrades can take a while to complete.
