The Vale Knights wouldn’t have charged because they might not have met Ramsay on that field at all. The whole reason Jon’s army was there was based on their lack of troops and presumed inability to get more. And holding troops by “sheer terror” is highly ineffective when there is a perfectly pleasant terror-free army…

Maybe the private equity firm is run by a guy who greatly prefers Discqus!

I hear Ed Norton and Terrence Howard are setting up their own superhero cinematic universe, with blackjack and hookers.

I kinda feel like there’s a difference between being kidnapping slaves & imprisoning mass-murderers, & that, as right as Killmonger is about why those ancestors jumped off the ships, it really doesn’t apply to his specific circumstances.

One of my least favourite adapted bits in the series. In the books, the dialogue is poetic and mournful, and Ned is not some overconfident lad, but a tired and weary battle commander.

This was the worst plothole in the film to me. I really dislike when there are consequences when someone just decides not to make an obvious, relevant explanation.

Okay, but now you’re moving the goalposts from “the villain is the only one to advocate for change” to “the villain is the only one who wants to violently conquer America”. 

But T’Challa did catch Klaue, until Killmonger broke him out of prison. And Killmonger was working with Klaue. T’Challa knew all this, it should have been more relevant. 

Infinity War, I think, was the MCU movie that most closely captures the feeling of a comic book, jumping right into the story, the breakneck pacing, the faux-cliffhanger ending, a very formidable villain, etc. It had so much fist-pumping action exactly offset by the genuine emotion of the Thor/Rocket scene, the final…

Except they totally did and it never really came up again until Ramsay was killed a couple of seasons later.

I love that the producers clearly asked Netflix for a little more money this season and Netflix was like, “How about if we gave you a lot more money?”

They gave it three seasons, if that’s not enough time for it to be successful how many more years should they subsidize it on the off-chance it catches on? 

I’m about two hundred pages into Black Leopard, Red Wolf, and you start to get used to the style, but it’s definitely one of those books that make you work. I’m enjoying it, but I’m also not entirely sure the density of the book is necessary. For instance, we don’t need to wait a hundred and fifty pages or so until we…

They’re the reason you keep your finger on fast-forward when you’re rewatching a Mission: Impossible movie.

I think the bit with the Hammer is a good scene. It instantly establishes that The Vision is a good character to Thor, the others and the audience itself. Without it we would just be expected to believe that this new character is fine and everyone is fine with him being there too. The fact he proves himself worthy by…

How about “I prefer songs that feature a person singing a melody over the music instead of rapping over it”?

Celeste Holm’s character was robbed. He should have dumped Dorothy McGuire’s character like a hot rock.

One of the things that complicates Gibson’s arc in this movie, I think, is that, if her later movies are any indication, Meyers does have a genuine affection for old-school, whiskey-and-Sinatra guys who are charmingly assholish. Witness Jack Nicholson in Something’s Gotta Give, or Alec Baldwin in It’s Complicated, or…

...announced over the loudspeaker during a history lesson on the French Revolution, no less!

I don’t remember Chris Pratt from Parks & Rec. I remember him from Everwood and keep waiting on Star Lord and Agent 13 to interact. (Funny that this year is both of their first movies.)
