Texas Hold'em has the advantage of being very cinematic - audiences understand the rules, lots of betting and bluffing, all that.

I remember liking it well enough. I also remember LOTS of shakycam, and I wonder if between that movie and "The Bourne Identity" they were responsible for the rise of shakycam shooting in action movies I despised so much over the ensuing decade.

"GoldenEye" is in my top 5. The others, not so much.

The same director did "GoldenEye," "Casino Royale" AND "The Mask of Zorro"? Damn dude, why isn't he a bigger deal? *reads Wikipedia entry* Ahhh, not only "Green Lantern" but also "The Legend of Zorro." Gotcha. Well, if he's ever down for another Bond film, someone please let him. And I'll take the coin toss on another…

That nine year old needs to work on his penmanship and spelling.

Yeah, Book!Jorah probably could have stayed in Dany's good graces if he'd just had the humility to admit he fucked up and apologized to his queen, to whom he claimed absolute loyalty. Really, he just kind of wants to own her in a very arrogant and paternal way.

Between that and the soup/poop montage the week before, they seem to really not want anyone eating while watching the show.

"I have loved you since the moment I met you."

Does Jorah not have the eggplant emoji on his phone?

It takes a very particular mind to be that self-aware, while also having that little self-awareness.

I can't help but think that the idea that someone being "for us" is more important than the actual policies they support is:

2), extremely, sadly true.

" … and then we take away health care from the old and the poor!"

You're not necessarily wrong, but there's a difference between "surprise" and "disappointment." Like, I similarly wouldn't be surprised if Carrie Underwood took a key to the side of her cheating boyfriend's pretty little souped-up four wheel drive and carved her name into the leather seats. The thought has obviously…

Ahhhh gotcha.

Everybody worried about sub-dermal microchips being the Mark of the Beast as foretold in the Book of Revelation needs to calm down. Social Security numbers marked us all for damnation a looooong time ago!

There were also pocket knives, IIRC.

Really, I'm not sure that part applies, either.

I was really only here to remind everyone that he, an elderly man with more than his share of health issues, picked Sarah Palin for his choice as his Vice President of the United States.

I did, but only because I'm an '80s kid and it was on a list of things only we would understand.

Not to derail the topic further, but … I'm gonna do exactly that. It was a shame that Bane went from calling his fellow fanatics "brother" to murdering them when they disappointed him, as any cliche villain does to his own henchmen.
