Die Another Day

The Boltons and Starks have some bad blood between them, but I think most of it went on hundreds of years ago, and Robb never did anything to antagonize it. He did, however, break a promise to the Freys.

Ignore this comment. I Googled it. I don't wanna deal with people today.

Hey, everyone throw an annotation onto the photo! It'll make it look like he really needs to floss!

Where does an attitude like that end? "Hey, you don't run iron man triathlons every Saturday. You don't care about your health. Why should I?"

I know everybody's entitled to a defense attorney, and that's a good thing. But when a defense attorney gets a case like this, when he or she is put into the position of defending someone who is soooo very likely a guilty, worthless sack of shit, how does it benefit them (the attorney) to attempt to defend the…

We spend the first year shoving breasts in their faces, then suddenly we think it's a problem if they happen to so much as set eyes on a pair?

I thought Michelle Bachman was entirely in favor of gay marriage, as long as gay men marry women and gay women marry men.

Yeah, there were other ways to keep Theon in play. For instance, I'd like to have seen a more detailed enactment of how Theon lost Winterfell. That was a decent story line — lots of deceit and betrayal, actually kind of complex. But at this rate, it looks like we'll be getting week after week of Theon's Dungeon for,…

Are you Lindy West, or someone else? It doesn't appear that you have an account name, so I think some people are assuming your comment was written by the author of the actual article. I'm not sure that's the case, but I'd like to know. So ... are you Lindy, or the Commenter With No Name?

16 and 25, huh? Well, if we're applying the half-your-age-plus-seven rule, it's not going to be feasible for another seven years. Judging by what we've seen so far, I'm going to guess every character in Westeros will be dead by then.

If you wear these with extremely tight pants, it may give your crotch the appearance of being ... unwell.

I tried to make a case for Artemis, but we eventually agreed on another name. There were several reasons we went with what he did over all others, and I will admit, Artemis is a ripe target for "Fartemis" in elementary school. Then again, grade school kids are capable of twisting just about any name in existence into…

Hey now, why does this map ignore Greenland? Are no babies born in Greenland? Is it like the island on Lost? Or do all pregnant ladies there just hop on a boat to Iceland for some bright-pink premium care?

I wonder if this has anything to do with the idea that it's somehow rude not to answer a text within three minutes of receiving it.

You're right. We're going to have to expand our assumption to cover all pro athletes.

Jason Collins' coming out has clearly given us all license to assume that 100 percent of pro basketball players are gay, unless they specifically tweet something that indicates otherwise. We can now take Mike Wallace off the list. Still waiting on everyone else.

Why did they not do this in 2012? Or 2005? Or 1970, 1960, 1950, etc. etc.? It's amazing to think that last year — in 2012 AD — the people who run this prom probably considered integrating, but finally concluded "Nope, not this year, not ready for that."

There is a certain type of person (male and female) who considers a handshake to be a test of true dominance by way of brute strength. These people do not handshake, they handwrestle, always with a toothy grin and a shit-eating, fucked-your-mom/dad gleam in their eye. They probably sprinkle salt in their beer, and…

That's because most of these excerpts are from reviews of movies he thought were very, very bad. Read any of his four-star reviews and it's clear he did not hold back on praise when he thought a movie deserved it.
