Because this show is the best and I am reading the books obsessively, I second the recap request. To put my perspective in SAT analogy terms, I am to Game of Thrones as those people who wish Avatar was real are to Avatar.

I know this is an “anti” attitude, but I am shocked by how much this man enrages me.

Drive, Seasons 1& 2 of Boardwalk Empire, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, season 3 of The League, and Die Hard (my favorite xmas movie). Maybe I’ll take a walk, too.

No prob. Bissell is great. I’m a big fan of his fiction and nonfiction, but he has been writing a lot about video games (he has a book about them) and he does a regular column about them for Grantland. I don’t play video games (because I am an adult woman; Bissell: “If you have no idea what the Elder Scrolls franchise is, you are probably either (a) an adult woman…”), but the article was interesting, anyway because of his discussion of the way story lore is conveyed in video games. You should look up some of this other Grantland articles!

I just read about this game! http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/7290527/one-night-skyrim-makes-strong-man-crumble

I don’t play video games but this writer is great.

Why didn’t they call it “Flickster”? Or is that too much like Flickr? Why am I wondering about this?

LOL “a dead man’s funeral.” Live men funerals are more cheerful, to be sure.

Yes. I agree completely.

I didn’t take the grossout parts to be in the tone of “ew, girls pooping” etc. I took it to mean that pooping is funny in general, and it’s just as funny with women performers joking about it as it is with male performers. Plus, I’m a woman and I love toilet humor, so that was welcome!

I like to imagine that instead of this diatribe coming from Aaron Sorkin it’s actually spoken by one of the West Wing characters (preferably Josh, though that doesn’t seem likely), in an actual confrontation with Sarah Palin, who is also a character on the West Wing, and not an actual person voted into a position of government by real Americans.

Ahem…”Solsbury Hill.” I’ll grab my things; I’m going to take me home.

 +2Posted on Dec 6th, 2010 | re: The Beaver Trailer, You Guys (130 comments)

I don’t understand the tone of this movie. The preview with the horrible cutesy/weird voiceover (please Hollywood, no more voiceovers for anything, ever) leaves me confused. It’s like the disconnect of the College Humor/Salisbury Hill Shining re-cut, EXCEPT THEY MADE THIS WRONG TO BEGIN WITH???

I couldn’t agree more re: the sisters’ conversation. That was very melodramatic, lazy writing. It was that scene that made me start really hating this show’s writing. Bad dialogue can be grating in a way that is hard to forgive. Basically, I’ve seen quite a few shops [bad dialog] in my time.

 +1Posted on Nov 11th, 2010 | re: The Simpsons Renewed For One Billionth Season (39 comments)

Yeah, but “Pumpkin segregation forever” from two Halloweens ago was probably one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard on the Simpsons.

I know this wasn’t your point, but I don’t really understand why so many people say the Simpsons is so bad and has been for ten years or whatever, because in my mind, it’s still the Simpsons, and still smarter and better than most crap out there. I agree that this year’s Halloween episode was meh, though. I think I am just not swayed by the “current Simpsons ruins old Simpsons because nostalgia” argument that many people support.

I thought of this when they called the fairies “fae” on the show, because it just sounds like a purposeful amalgamation. “Fae” = “fake and gay.”

When Jason Stackhouse brought Tara that breakfast-in-bed-recovery-from-trauma tray, it made me think maybe this show needs like, 500 more breakfast-in-bed-recovery-from-trauma trays, per character, per episode. Not to mention one for each viewer.

Why do I feel like these are all Nic Cage movies waiting to happen?
