I had the same thought, and it harkened back to Robb Stark doing the same thing in S1 when he sent 2000 men off to die as a distraction.

You left out the Paddling of the Swollen Ass. Also, you're describing every movie ever made.

Fake news!!

Daniel Stern too, before they'd appear together again in The Milagro Beanfield War and the Home Alone saga.

RIP and thanks for all the solid work. His burned-out ex-hippie lawyer in The Milagro Beanfield War is a particular favorite.

In his defense, he usually hired them back the next day.

At this point in the story, there doesn't necessarily need to be a lot of drama about whether Dany or Cersei will emerge victorious, and the last thing I need to see is another epic battle scene. If the next episode opened with Dany already sitting on the Iron Throne without a lot of details on what happened, I'd be…

unless the 'gift' Euron has left to fetch is what I think it is (something from the books).

I dunno… it sounds like you're saying that we shouldn't make any more movies about WW2 and/or the Holocaust simply because they're unlikely to convince any neo-Nazis to change their ways. Am I reading this wrong?

The only rational explanation for Dragonstone being unguarded is that Cersei left it open as a trap for Dany, who's now a sitting duck for Euron and his 1000 100 50(ish?) ships. Of course, that would require Cersei to be a better strategist than she's ever shown herself to be, so it's probably bullshit.

Where Devo is concerned, the synth solo on their insane sort-of cover of "Secret Agent Man" has a special place in my heart.

Out of the entire Floyd oeuvre, my favorite sax solo is the one on "Terminal Frost". I don't know why.

Freddie Hubbard's trumpet solo on the live version of Canteloupe Island from Blue Note's anniversary party:

I'm sorry to tell you this, but the current audience for everyone you listed is 99% white people. Also, Paco de Lucia being a guitarist, what's he doing in that list?

Absolutely. A bona-fide bad man. Earthling (aka Bowie's drum-and-bass album) has some fantastic work from him too.

Man, I feel old reading these comments. I was in college. They'd announced that the verdict would be read at such-and-such time, and I was just getting out of a class then. The nearest place with a TV was the African-American Cultural Center (for context, I'm a white guy), so that's where I headed. The room was packed…

Even putting aside the "killing people" stuff, I know a bunch of former football players (from high school all the way up to the NFL) who now absolutely refuse to let their kids get involved in it. It makes me wonder if the NFL is going to have a hard time finding enough players twenty years from now, and if that…

My gut says "practically none" based on the vanishingly small number of retired athletes who both (1) played sports which involved repeated head trauma and (2) killed people.

I liked the b&w part where Wade and Cable talked about their feelings.

If this gets released as Deadpool II: Some Pretty Tragic, Dark Shit, it would go a long way towards restoring my faith in an ordered universe.
