  1. i am still laughing at this. believe it dude, it's definitely a thing
  2. just joking around. i once had a painful crush on a co-worker, despite the fact that she loved the show. she was skinny as a twig.
  3. no, i only have one watching partner. i am not a GoT slut, hodor (one person was my mom)
  4. i've had TWO people text me today, TWO PEOPLE, and tell me they caved and read spoilers for the upcoming shows. TWO PEOPLE. i honestly feel like spoilers are around each internet corner. i am dreading this week.
  5. totally agree with Nebraska. Alexander (dre?) Payne's movies are, more or less, all the same, yet somehow some are way, way, way better than others. And there are always one or two really great performances, and a whole whack of questionable ones (I thought the children in The Descendents were horrible, thought Forte was really weak at times In Nebraska. Like the whole movie was done in one take). and I don't even really care about acting that much, but Payne's movies regularly feature legitimately _BAD_ scenes because of it
  6. fair point with sansa, hodor, i totally thought her scene was wonderful too
  7. i like quite a few, personally. tywin is probably my favourite. but i really like varys (or however you spell it, the eunuch. altho he hasn't been around much lately), the hound, and little finger
  8. yeah maybe, idk. i am personally glad most of the fights are really brief. sword fights are never really believable to me, they always seem crazy choreographed and kinda silly, so i appreciated their brevity in this series. especially in this case, since the mountain is such a giant oaf. agility obviously isn't his strong suit watching inigo montoya dance around him for 15 minutes woulda sucked that episode annoyed me so bad because i just want to know what happens next. i think i have to pick up the books now. ugh
  9. whaaaaaaaat????? i do sorta agree that the focus and structure of the episode was pretty weird, and the way it ended was sorta tacky and cheap, but underwhelming?!?!??! good grief, my palms were getting damp. i thought it was perfectly done
  10. beetle chat was by far the imp's best scene in the show imo that fight was just too much
  11. ESO will be free to play soon enough, surely
  12. american beauty and adaptation are both straight, easy 10/10s. i had to watch Adaptation a couple of times to really appreciate it though dazed and confused is great too. really, 3 great choices. just depends on your mood
  13. i really liked that Wind that Shakes the Barley movie with Murphy in it. sucker for a good IRA movie, i admit
  14. this video is very strange, and very wonderful
  15. if i actually used every opportunity to take a shot at you, you would look something like a honeycomb it was just a joke
  16. its times like these that i wish we had a CDC movie club, so we could be far more specific. because i haven't seen TOL in a while, and i don't really know where you're coming from if you can be so critical of it (especially in regards to 'context') if you haven't even finished the movie(!). but anyway, totally fair enough. others obviously agree with you, but i do not, especially with TOL. i don't believe it was obscurity for its own sake, don't believe it lacked artistic depth. i have no idea how those claims can even be made, tbh. i just think a lot of people didn't "get it" and didn't want to try to "get it" so they just tuned out, or weren't open to it. i have no idea if i enjoyed it, no idea if i understood it, but i thought it was an enjoyable effort anyway. it was thought provoking, even if it was annoying at times. to me, that is enjoyable. guiding my hand through 'why stars are neat' using child-friendly metaphors, a la Tyson, isn't. different strokes.
