I've finished an overdue Sopranos marathon, and in honor of the last episode, I'll say it, I think the "Tony dies" crowd are fucking idiots. The argument seems to rest primarily on wish fulfillment and a tortuous reading of unrelated details with the screen then going black. The facts and text I rely on in forming…

I'm beginning to think Martin is trolling them to keep the primacy of his books.

Just chiming in too say that I was at that '91 show, so psyched to see one of my favorite bands, we were tripping balls on some top shelf liquid LSD with our flagged and staked out patch of lawn on a brilliant hot sunny lake shore day, and while they seemed as drunk, ramshackle, and belligerent as legend has it, the…

I'm actually a bit of an Antarctic exploration buff, and Shackleton is the Man, but I haven't seen that, thanks.

A really great movie, and probably the best survival film, or at least my favorite. It's hard to believe either man came down from the mountain alive, or overstate the accomplishment, just mind boggling, and quite matter of fact in their retelling. These two men had a strong friendship based on their shared taste for…

U B hella clever

How someone who has seen this series four time can still get basic factual info wrong is beyond me. (May contain spoilers)

I read a write up of an untaped Q & A Louie and Pamela Adlon did on hitfix, I think, where in addition to mentioning the shortened season as a consequence of getting high and changing his mind on pushing it to the fall, and thus having a smaller budget, he also didn't recall that he'd previously done a cross dress ep…

I noticed that it's supposed to be of North Cali origin, but regardless, I see it more and more often in print and it just strikes me as childish and moronic and a continued degradation of the language. I'm not some grammar curmudgeon but it looks and sounds stupid, conveys nothing, and shouldn't be used by a…

Grown men shouldn't use the "word," hella. Really, noone should.

As a reader of the books, there is no point in complaining, though I will. The decisions were made, and they are in the can, the season, and the series.are irretrievable. I'm not on board with the "budget made me do it" excuse, as this is a global, highly profitable phenomena, and I would think, that if benioff and…

That "only living witness" is a Pinkerton, so he would naturally not be giving up any info to Rusk.

Also misstated; Lily kept the shoes because Victor liked them, she clearly didn't.

What seems lost in the whole discussion is that in returning to Mcann Don would not only be going back to work to create an iconic ad, he would by extension be returning to his home and family. Whether they lived with their uncle and aunt, or less likely Henry, or even Don himself, he would still be in a position to…

"You know what they say. There's no greater joy than a big butt boy."

Vanessa didn't give Landed McGentry the satisfaction of a scream either.

The breathless outrage of this episode's comment board is about as misguided and self righteous as it gets. Oh well, I usually enjoy reading the discussion here, but 100 comments in it's clearly going to be rapey rape rape bad rape problematic bad awful rape rape we love sansa rape rape sad protest mad bad outraged…

Lily referenced Foote, which would be Horton not Shelby, but I don't know which play it might be, if it's actually a specific piece and not some mash up.

Beyond the fact that she has no idea how to govern a hostile population, her biggest problem, in both the book and show, is that she has no fucking idea how to control the dragons. That's why two are chained up in the dungeon and one ranges freely. Without those in hand, she's just an ambitious girl with the right…
