Im still deeply deeply angry she's never been nominated.

“I’m here to talk to you about the Hamilton Initiative.”

It’s kind of like going through the wardrobe to Narnia, except Mare ends up in the fantasy land known as Westtown.

Of course we’re talking of a show that emphasizes Star Wars’s even larger roots being firmly planted in Kurosawa.

So basically Jon Favreau just said “Screw it, Tatooine is just Arrakis now.” The sandworm is one thing, but using the phrase “stealing our water” to describe killing someone can’t possibly not be a deliberate reference.

While I definitely reacted with “Tatooine again!”...this was my favourite episode of the series so far. Wether it was the longer running time or Timothy Olyphant’s presence it felt more like a real tv show and not a truncated nugget of a two and a half hour movie. Great action and clever change of aspect ratio. Glad…

Yeah, that’s what you get when you hire no-talent never-will-bees. Pete Davidson makes no sense to me. His star power (what there is) is clearly manufactured, but he’s too much of a unfunny pothead to do anything with it. Speaking of unfunny pothead, Pete Davidson is not funny. At all. Why he gets any attention at all …

People stain rooms all the time.

The majority of the reviews, thus far, have been positive.  A few, scathing, very typical of Malick output though...love it or loathe it.

Dowd is clearly unworthy to judge Malick, clearly.  Malick, I say!

I have a number of friends at Cannes this year, and it seems like the majority of them liked the new Malick (though the “like” is more subdued than not). 

That’s always been something that amused me with much love Khal Drogo got - it’s a charismatic performance by Jason Momoa, but he is every bit as evil as Ramsey, Joffrey etc. This is the speech where he promises the help Dany get her throne
“And to my son, the stallion who will mount the world, I will also pledge a…

So was Jaime’s whole character arc a Möbius strip then?  What was the point of any of that?

Sansa will put on a pious face, but no more King’s Landing lording it over the North is her happy ending.

Probably 8 minutes of brainstorming at the Chateau Marmot before they wrote it on a napkin. They overthought this. Tried too hard to be contrarian. Even if Mad Queen was always the ending, they could’ve built up to it in a more convincing way. She basically went from sweet, empathetic queen to genocidal maniac in…

No half measures.

I’m honestly laughing my ass off, because this is the most ridiculously wide gap between the pre-air review of something on this site and the actual reviews that I’ve seen in a long time. Did Ashley Ray Harris only watch the pilot or something? That first episode was genuinely good (the only episode of this show that…

Yes.

“Ozymandias” – the episode that finally makes me feel unafraid to say this definitively:

Walt calling Skyler at the end was absolutely wonderful to watch. Gunn and Cranston play that scene beautifully. Walt's not a stupid guy, even though he's making stupid decisions, so he definitely knows the police are there. It's one final, heartbreaking act for Walter White. He's lost his money, and he didn't get…
