Where may I send you flowers? These are the best.

Yeah, I'm head over heels in love with Alfredson's filmmaking. I don't hate 'Drive' but I was flabbergasted that movie got so much hype that year even though 'Tinker Tailor' stands head-and-shoulders above it in my opinion. It's a movie that only gets better the more times you see it, and the theme of all these…

Great movie, and he's great in it.

The scene in that movie when Simone is slapping him in the face and he keeps looking at her, his eyes watering from anguish but still holding her in his gaze like a dog that can't help but love his abusive master—- it makes me choke up just thinking about it. He was a magnificent talent and he elevated every movie he…

Have you seen the guy? He's in better shape than most 40 year olds. 73 is not terribly old if you're wealthy and in good health.

Well, I'm not prepared to blame 'ideologues' for it. I think many of the critics are genuine fans of the show and have a legitimate gripe about what they perceive as a sex crime, which has huge character ramifications if that was what we witnessed. I just don't interpret the scene in the sept as unambiguously as…

Thanks. I'm fairly sure that they played up the brutality of the twins' 'encounter' as a counterpoint to the tender (and chaste) farewell between Jaimie and Brienne. Judging from audience reaction, they may have gone a bit overboard.

DOOM: I'm thinking of trying out for the Fantastic Four. I figure all I need is a lobotomy and some tights.

I had no idea this movie was being made. Love the man's essays and love Infinite Jest (although I find you really have to plow through the first 250 pages before it really starts to take off). But this article really whiffed on the real story of this misguided movie:

Harry Hamlin is GOLD as Cutler. His blase authority is just a joy to watch, and I've never liked him in the past.

I don't deny the power of the Sally/Don moment, but when I was watching the end I instantly rewound it because I had spaced out a bit… and when I rewatched it, I noticed that Don isn't touched, he's distraught. Because it's Valentine's Day, and he hasn't even called his wife! Again, I agree that his time with Sally…

Great episode with real meat on it. A+ (The plus is for getting Julia back into another distractingly tight dress. I'm not made of wood, people!)

*lopes across the street*

I agree, Tywin has far more motive than the Tyrells. Or could it be The Iron Bank, sending a message? I would say that it's definitely not Prince Oberyn. Not only would it be too hamfisted plot-wise, but here is a guy who walks into town, promptly maims the first Lannister he sees, and loudly proclaims that he'd…

I agree, Erik Adams is looking a little lame for all his hand-wringing over Joffrey's death. He was a thoroughly evil little shit who murdered innocent people for amusement and wielded an amount of unchecked power that no moral person could possibly countenance. It's just a fucking TV show (albeit a great one). …

Gleeson is apparently going into academia after his GoT stint. Which I guess may be for the best, because how could he not be typecast anyway? But he really does deserve a toast in his honor, as he was terrific. He's apparently nothing at all like Joffrey in real life (who could be?) but think of all the amazing…

So can someone settle this for me? Is Margaery the Queen of Westeros now? Or is Tommen Lannister the new King? I thought perhaps pinched-face dickmouth Joffrey's death puts Margaery on the throne, but perhaps that's not the case since she didn't have the chance to bear royal children? It seems an important…

I said the same thing last year during season 3! Loras is the perfect match! He can go off to squire the…er, squire, while Cersei fucks her brother! And everyone gets to enjoy knowing smiles at church the next day! I haven't the foggiest why they're all so verklempt about that match.

I actually wasn't that engaged by this episode— Adams is correct about the daytime soapiness of the catty wedding dialogue. But then the dwarves showed up and Joffrey turned it up to 11, and shit got REAL.

Melisandre with the vagina!
