So, whatever happened to the Whit Stillman pilot they aired half of?

I've secretly been hoping that when the Others breach the Wall and march on King's Landing, we discover that they view this as a humanitarian mission, having watched Westeros endure hundreds of years of widespread interpersonal abuse and inhumanity.

The Maesters are as committed to denying knowledge and to destroying knowledge they don't like as they are to pursuing knowledge: They repeatedly try to dissuade people from believing in the existence of the Children of the Forest, the Others, magic, etc. And they are more than likely actively RESPONSIBLE for the…

Wild theorizing: Arya was stabbed. She jumped into what is presumably salt water. The blood pooled into a shape vaguely resembling a star. She emerged into a street thick with the smoke from the stalls of food vendors. Born beneath a bloody star amid salt and smoke. She's the prince who was promised.

Bravo.

I miss Happy Endings.

That's how I felt about Eliza Doolittle a few years back: She had a summer album that was catchy as all hell, but when I finally saw one of her videos, I found her whole "sexualized adolescent" schtick off-putting.

Remember how before that movie came out, "Macy Gray is going to be in it!" was one of the big selling points?

Remember Macy Gray?

He's always seemed to have had an interest in Austen, though (Differing takes on her work was a minor plot point in Metropolitan.), so I'm hopeful that this is more than just a work-for-hire deal.

Man, I loved that Python sketch.

"Reckon." As in "Reek…uh…Rick…Rickon…Reekon…Reckon Stark." I see what you did there?

I honestly do not believe we'll ever get another ASOIAF book. And I'm…okay with that, actually. At this point, I feel like his themes have been established and explored well enough, and ending with Jon and Brienne murdered; Tyrion cast away somewhere in the world where he is irrelevant; Cersei shamed, terrified of…

Honestly, I've always read it as southern, not black.

So. there's the good Batman arc/graphic novel, the all-time-great Buffy episode, and now this movie? Are we done using "Hush" as a title for genre stories for a while?

Before These Crowded Streets is a rambling, crazy-ass, masturbatory mish-mash of disparate ideas being cobbled together like Frankenstein's monster into songs that manage to be brutally un-commercial without ever managing to become cool.

I've never quite been able to square away how I feel about Captain America: The First Avenger. On the one hand, the casting and performances from the leads were great; the ideas at play were engrossing; the character beats and in-jokes were charming. On the other hand, it felt inert; the most interesting portion of…

They definitely call less attention to themselves than Bamford's, but I think they might represent a wider range.

As the OP suggested, you missed the Dothraki basically doing the Monty Python "Spanish Inquisition" sketch. Instead of enumerating the Inquisitions various weapons, they were listing off the things Dothraki enjoy more than seeing a beautiful woman naked for the first time.

John Mulaney?
