Liked for ‘Spartacus’ callback.

It would have been even better if they were all staring at the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man looming over the battlements.

I have as really most completely dead:

Can we have odds on Bronn turning up at a propitious moment and saving Tyrion and/or Jaime instead of killing them?

I get that everyone’s focusing on the future of the people down in the crypt, but I think it’s for the wrong reason. Yes, the crypt is full of dead people, but from what I (a non-book-reader) knows about how the White Walkers work, they need to kill a living person for said person to be resurrected as a wight. So I’m…

“More importantly, if she’s an “indoor kid” who doesn’t know the first thing about the outdoors, how did she get this job in the first place?”

With Davos as Hand.

She was only 11, and her older sister had to catch her up on what the show was about.

‘Famous action movie star bucks Hollywood to play Hamlet at a Canadian theatre festival’ sounds like it would have been a great plotline for a series of Slings and Arrows.

“You’ll be drowning in money so dark it would get shot going into its own apartment.” Ouch.

Winter will be so hard that they will be forced to eat Robin’s minstrels.

Not many, it seems. :-)

A Mayor doll from Nightmare Before Christmas, whose head you can turn so he’s either a) beaming with avuncular glee or b) horrified. Since I’m the mayor of our town, it seemed particularly apt. And yes, I’m talking the desk in the mayor’s office in our town hall.

My son’s first job was as a dishwasher at a small, family-run restaurant in our small town, where I worked as a server. He got the job at age 11 (all above board labour-wise, although the paperwork was horrendous), because a) I was a good, hard worker, b) they knew my son was too, and c) getting good, reliable staff…

The fifth throne was indeed found in Canada:

The Python clip reminded me of one of their skits, where a film director is being questioned about Marilyn Munroe starring in his new film:

I live an hour’s drive from the nearest cinema, which almost exclusively shows only the top blockbusters. I doubt that a film like Roma would get near it, and even if it did it would be difficult for me to get to see it, particularly in winter when the 100km drive (each way) can be treacherous. Having it on Netflix…

I’ve read that Horne wasn’t cast because the Production Code stipulated that a romance between an African-American and a white person couldn’t be shown on screen. However, Horne was able to play Julie (sort of) in the 1946 Kern biopic Till the Clouds Roll By, where she sings ‘Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man’ and gives us a…

I believe it’s mandatory, in Britain, to refer to her as national treasure Olivia Colman.

I love this film so much. Everyone is note perfect, and there are so many great scenes and lines. The reveal of Martin being glued to the wall is a favourite, as is Headley’s ‘Unfortunately, Randy is a mute’ line at the end, and Anton Rodgers responding to Martin’s ‘She caught me with another woman! You’re French,…
