You also get three women to fall in love with you and eventually control reality (in some form or fashion). I’ll take that tradeoff. Ef those Aes Sedai, though. Just get with the program and that whole mess would have been solved by book 6.

I raise you one Daredevil.

Isn’t there a folk tale about Lincoln fighting a bear?

Can you imagine DDL’s method acting if he’d have been in this role?

My mom’s birthday is May 16th, which often is the same week as Mother’s Day. I tend to lump her gifts together or go with just one big gift. Might do dinner/lunch on one of the days to differentiate. Is this acceptable? She doesn’t seem to mind, but that Son Guilt creeps in. Her anniversary is/was on May 15th, as…

Goddam, it would be great if, when all is said and done with GoT (or before), we could get a miniseries on Robert’s Rebellion or even the Conqueror. RR, I guess, might be covered a tiny bit via flashbacks if the rumors are true, which is likely. Or even the DoD. The World of Ice and Fire history book was pretty dry,…

Speaking of, was that not a fantastic lightsaber battle? Not a ton of high-flying stunts, but for characters who have barely interacted, there was a lot of emotion and tension involved. Gets back to the point most viewers have had that while this movie retread a lot of the ground from the OT, the new characters were…

Yea, there’s definitely an argument to be made that it would have been better if the mask stayed on until the confrontation with Han, but one of the things I appreciated about Ren’s portrayal (and this may not be everyone’s cup of tea) is that he was really unstable. He’s trying so damn hard to avoid the Light and to…

“The child isn’t mine, from a certain perspective, Maury.”

I agree with this, but I thought it was effective in the Han death scene. He really came across as a child hurting in a lot of ways. And while that description jives maybe a little too close to prequel-era Anakin, I liked that it humanized him. The performance is certainly better than Christensen’s, of course, and it…

Let’s try to publically shame him back into the John O’Hurley Era of Family Feud. Goddam that guy needs more work.

I didn’t think Short around was so bad, but I’d say it’s more than likely with the emotional scarring of seeing a man’s heart ripped out and being thrown into slavery after your father figure discards you that he got back to China and lost his life in a house of ill repute a few short years later.

Thank you, Gronk. I’ve never quite understood the hate for Temple of Doom. It’s certainly different from Raiders/Crusade mold (and Skull just feels like an outlier because of the time gap, in my opinion), but Temple is damn well paced with some solid set pieces. Yes, Willie is annoying but I never felt like she took…

To be fair, he still had some growing up to do.

No, seriously. Maybe dinosaurs have more on common today with Ted Cruz supporters than they do with birds. Even the word “Ted Cruz” means “Useless Big Lumbering Oaf.”

I wish I’d never played this game before. I want to experience it new all over again. Honestly, if I were stuck on a deserted island and could only bring three games with me (because fuck picking only one), this would be on the list.

Pssh James Bond has been there, done it in that.

A scene:

Now, THAT is a celebration trend I can get behind. Of course, NHL officiating is pretty poor to begin with. Bring in figure skating judges and you'd have FIFA-level corruption in sports in a season.

That's because in baseball they do the mature thing and hit you with a ball.
