What the hell is your problem? I’m giving you a realistic assessment of the state of gay rights in Eastern Europe. Don’t shoot the messenger. Russia is still a long way off from fully accepting gay people, much further than Serbia. Gay marriage in Russia is at least several decades away, as it was in America in the…

How I Met Your Mother is along with Game of Thrones my most favorite show. I loved the endings of both of the shows. Absolutely brilliant. I hope all the aspects of the original are kept in place and it’s not just something akin to all these soulless reboots.

The first season is brilliance buried under the trappings of a conventional show.

Let’s just look at the first scene bewteen Jaime and Cersei and their conversation. It’s the classic ‘bad guy’ introduction scene. From their conversation one versed in movie tropes will easily draw the conclusion that a) Cersei and…

The Eurovision has already been held in Russia many times without any problems. As for it’s anti-LGBT stance, well America could well be considered homophobic as a country just 12 years ago, with even Democrat candidates being against gay marriage. In America the issue has been active since at least the 80s. In…

Which music do I associate the least with Batman?

Is this a good answer?

‘’Bran could’ve played a huge role in stopping the Night King, be revered as some sort of mystical demigod’’

... and then it would be just like every fantasy out there. I love the way they treat paragons in fantasy movies: do your magic thingy, then kindly f- off so the hunky protagonist can end up in charge. Sound…

Dany was a tyrant since S1E10. She spoke like a tyrant, acted like a tyrant, killed like a tyrant, even had photo-ops with frolicking people like a tyrant. The only thing they didn’t do is wrap her up in ‘bad guy tropes’ so you could recognize this easily. You were supposed to discern this based on her actions before…

I was referring to when GRRM was starting to write the books. It took a while for them to pick up. Even for the show was it a slow burn, with the numbers of viewers only moderately increasing and only truly exploding somewhere around S4-S5.

Liked the first book. It does indeed touch on many of the similar themes as GOT. However, read the next two and found them OK at best and not particularly memorable. (I don’t plan on continuing, since I suspect diminishing returns.) Sure, the whole ‘preacher’ thing and the reveal of his identity were both interesting,…

I’d argue that despite at a first glance the ‘traditional happy ending’ for both Arya and Sansa, their stories were a brutal deconstruction of the two sides of the ‘princess’ trope (traditional vs warrior) and quietly extremely tragic.

Both Sansa and Arya had at first an idealistic vision of what life would be for…

‘’It’s not what happened that pissed me off, it’s that it wasn’t earned.’’

Come on, you have to realise how ridiculous this statement is on a fundamental level, like saying: ‘’The reason I hate him is because he tries too hard to be liked.’’

Of course it’s what happened that pisses you off! If it didn’t, you’d never…

Some sick f*** suggested to combine the air crash scene in Flight at 2x speed and no sound with the Benny Hill theme. It was glorious.

Yes. S8 is an uncompromising masterpiece.

The key thing to remember is that Game of Thrones (ASOIAF) was never supposed to be a mainstream hit. It was always a niche series of novels made by an author that got tired of the traditional tropes and tried upending them in a fantasy setting. In other words, GOT is a fantasy novel series that largely rejects the…

Okay, sure, the cheated partner certainly has a right to set boundaries. But boundaries concerning infidelity, like say enforcing no contact with the person he cheated with. Not other stuff. Drug use, although a thorny topic, has literally nothing to do with whether someone will cheat or not. The girl is only using…

Reservoir Dogs- ‘’Stuck in the Middle with You’’

What more is there to be said?

Honestly, at this point he shouldn’t even finish it. The ‘fans’ rejected every single one of his messages.

What you call ‘more compelling arcs’ I call ‘shallow pandering.’ Good for both the shows for refusing to do that.

So... what will everyone do once this **** is over?

My plan is to travel from Serbia to Paris by car and take my children to Disneyland park. Then I’ll buy tickets for the first big concert in Serbia or Hungary if it’s industrial rock (as there is not much of a market in Serbia) and join the biggest mosh pit I can…

I’ve finally finished Moby Dick. Took several months of hiathus and also I enjoyed it far more reading it in small 10-15 page doses rather than plowing through.
