We did not have sex until about three or four days after our wedding! We didn’t even get to the hotel the day of until 2am, and I was so exhausted and miserable I hardly got all the bobby pins out of my hair before passing out. Afterwards, most of our guests hung around for the weekend, and since I hardly get to see…

How about most hated: J.J. Abrams. Sometimes he can hit good notes, but watching Super 8 was just immensely depressing to me. Nothing new under the sun, etc. etc. A blatant “homage” to classic Spielberg with none of the charm, warmth, or originality.

More weed! Also can someone get me out of the greys please? Ugh.

The Hairpin has gotten better recently, at least imo. I miss the commenters at Videogum - one of the best places on the internet!

I kind of feel that Dany is going to get distracted soon, because of book events and ruling in Meereen, but when we find out that the White Walkers are decimating Westeros and can only be defeated by tons of fire...well, she might be swayed back to Westeros then.

This is my dream. Also the show has a theme of Brienne defeating all the greatest Westerosi warriors in one-on-one battle, and while Ramsey isn’t one of the greats, he’s certainly one of the most villainous.

I know nothing about this movie but keep seeing promo pics and thinking, “ok, which one is his girlfriend and which one is his daughter?”

The vehemence and the detail in that comment section freaked me out. People spend a lot of time and energy hating on poor Amal, a woman they know nothing about.

Eh...not really. It’s certainly exciting and kind of weird that they’re reviving such an old series with an admittedly older director. But Hollywood loves reviving things and franchises and Mad Max is both - we will hopefully be seeing MM movies pop up for the next decade. Charlize is an A-lister and Hardy is on his…

Random episode thoughts: both Lannister children are in love! And their terrible, terrible parents are doing everything they can to ruin it. Thought it was interesting that the next generation is having a go at the games and actually feeling love and emotions and not being the worst.

Meanwhile, Ryan Philippe unsuccessfully trying out for Bryan Singer’s “Twink”.

Things that could have happened instead of Sansa being raped in front of Theon:

Three times, kind of. Daenerys and Drogo had a sort of tender wedding night, instead of the rape depicted in the series. Of course we can argue that she was like 12 at the time and couldn’t consent, but it’s written in a way that he cares about her consent in the book.

Also, what happens if even one person sends a raven or speaks up about him arranging Sansa’s marriage? It seems ridiculous to me that he did it in broad daylight, walking around Winterfell and traveling with her across the country, and he just assumes that nobody will figure it out. The stupid with the Littlefinger…

She looked so, so young in that scene.

Tell!

It is a big question and I like that we are talking about it! I am very divided all the time...I want kickass female fighters and heroes everywhere. But I’m also traumatized from decades of women in action and horror films being kidnapped, beaten, tortured, raped, eaten by monsters...on and on forever. No easy answers.

I see what you’re saying, and I get it and partially agree: we shouldn’t necessarily be wishing for MORE violence acted upon women in the media. But also...counterpoint:

He’s just pitching you fanfiction.
