Tarantino films don't need subtelty.

Apparently you're far from the only one, according to all these lists. I don't really understand why as it's one of my favorites, even moreso than Basterds and either Kill Bill.

Sarcasm, friend. I should have been more specific than "this commenter", I suppose.

Because those Twitter activists should instead be using that energy to solve poverty or world hunger or dismantle corporate corruption, things I'm sure this commenter and everyone else who makes this same comment devote all their time to doing.

I know this might lead to a less than civil discussion and I am concerned that it's just an expression of my fragility, but is it wrong if I'm annoyed by the description of straight white cis males as the "most boring type of person"? The rest of the review was great but that phrase felt a little dehumanizing, even if…

Of all the things to be snobby about having seen first, Neil Breen is the hill you die on?

Yeah except now it's just the pretentious writers' twatty opinions, no famous people to distract you.

Regardless of the fact that that plot did a disservice to everyone involved, he was there to save his daughter from an explicit death threat and when he found out what the political situation actually was he made amends for his and Bronn's error and brokered a peaceful solution. The Jaime of a couple seasons ago…

Are two scenes, one that wasn't written as a rape, enough to call this a routine?

I mean, he's in the middle of a redemption arc. Doesn't wash out his past deeds, but the dude's clearly trying.

Well keep in mind that the fans know exactly what will happen in the next book (and it's all stuff that will make the fans happy), so the fact that the writers clearly disobeyed GRRM's directives and didn't have Sansa instantly become a political genus or have Stannis defeat the Boltons and become god-king means that…

Rocky I is basically a moody character study that happens to have a fight scene at the end, that we all retroactively remember as a blockbuster because of the series it spawned.

Oh yeah, you're the guy who wrote that defense of the prequels. It seems like you value whether or not a movie tries something unique more than (or at least as much as) whether or not it succeeds, at all, at pulling that off. That's an interesting way to view movies, definitely different than the way most of us view…

I also want that to be the ending because by that point I legitimately wanted that version of Hannibal Lecter to die just as much as I do Ramsay Bolton. At that point I didn't care how sexy he was or how fun he was to watch, he had destroyed too many lives for me to feel anything other than overwhelming hatred toward…

Richard Harris?

Jackson? Maybe. DiCaprio? Nah. He was just giving one of his two performances (the "hammy" one).

What happened to Stannis was the perfect ending for that character. It's just that he has become the audience surrogate for the kind of socially retarded, pedantic, vaguely fascist nerd that would be the most likely to think anything that happens in the show first is an unforgivable deviation from the source material.

So negative 3 or 4?

He seems like the classic Hollywood douchebag in every way.
