I popped in here entirely because I found the headline interesting. I don't know a thing about GoT. But reading this, and reading the comments, it's easy to imagine that the night the show ends will be the end of Lost or BSG all over again. It's really fun to see that, as they put it on BSG, everything had happened…

I looked in the Kinja, Ray.

He looks into the sun, and hours later he is blind to the sheer nonsense of his nearly content-free policy speech.

I hear he's going to Arizona today, where it's like 110 degrees. Common sense dictates he should drink a lot of water. No one can possibly cope in such heat without water.

1550 comments here and 1600 in the original article. Well, at least we're ending the Disqus Era in a big way.

It occurs to me that if Obama were president today, he would have flown to the zone of totality and made a day of it and talked about kids and science and so on. But that requires real curiosity about the world. And interest in science.

And the moon does have many sides, right?

Let's ignore him for the moment and talk about our own experiences trying to observe the eclipse. As I work in a place with a nice roof, the staff more or less migrated there and took turns sharing eclipse glasses and trying to us pinhole projectors of all sorts. At least till the clouds that weren't in the forecast…

Switching over. Honestly, it beats using Facebook as your source of comments.

Fair enough, and the old miniseries was, by most accounts faithful but not exactly good (or at least beloved).

You mean this:

Either this will be as disappointing as most King adaptations and sink down the sewers with the toy boat in the first scenes, or it's been turned into a far more conventional contemporary horror film and will please people who like that sort of thing but not necessarily the book's fans.

Had only vaguely heard about that rally. It would be very Trump to follow an important and somber speech with a raucous rally that obscures what he talked about completely.

And odds are that tomorrow we will see a lot of people declare that by reading his speech perfectly and not going off script, he will be finally be presidential.

- Today's 90s Percentile is mainly about Pulp Fiction and Comedy Central before South Park, but it's interrupted by the news of Jerry Lewis's death. Always weird when that happens to a podcast, but interesting given the pop culture bent of the show.

2010, Kobu, two season four Simpsons, half an MST3K, and some Greg Rucka Wonder Woman.

Apparently Soderbergh was in charge of every little thing, including marketing, and chose to promote Logan Lucky to "flyover country" without making it clear that the film wasn't making fun of its characters or the target audience. A valuable lesson to someone who wants to reinvent the wheel but might not actually…

Meanwhile, Mike Florio is an idiot.

I just hope we are at the point when no one thinks it's a sign the world is ending and jumps off a roof.

Sales of DC's Eclipso comics are still flat.
