I skipped all of the chapters about that southern desert area (Dorn?) I couldn't for the life of me figure out why any of these characters were relevant or tied into the rest of the plot, and I finished the book without feeling like I missed anything.

I got bitched at today by a fat woman because I didn't express sufficient concern that the vending machine ate her money (where I was working). She just complained in general but didn't ask for her money back or anything, so I said yeah whatever and got her a refund later when I wasn't busy. I...

Get ready for lots and lots of walking and other non-epic events.

Hire a lawyer and sue them for millions of dollars and you will be set for life.... oh wait, you're in the UK, just go back to the pub and drink away your miserable life.

It wasn't the internal monolgue part that I thought might be strange. I know people have thoughts, it was the impression of talking to someone else, having a one sided conversation of sorts that might be unusual. I don't buy the Solaris explanation, I mean sure, existentialism works as a...

I feel like it's an introvert characteristic. I would bet that really extroverted people don't have much of an internal monologue because they think with their mouth as they say what they think.

You know, when your train of thought just kind of runs along on its own when you aren't doing anything. I think most people have this right? Anyways when my mind goes on like that, I always feel like I'm talking to someone when I'm thinking. It's kind of like I'm explaining myself or justifying...

read the article, they aren't killed at all, just bled

On the other hand, what is the longest you've ever slept? Coincidentally, right after not sleeping for 40 hours, I slept for almost 24 hours.

About 40 hours. Anyone in the military probably has gone much longer. My buddy on his platoon commander course got 10 hours sleep in 7 days.

that was educational

LotR films are to LotR books what Beowulf 3D was to the original poem or what Troy was to Homer's The Iliad.

Did any of these studies randomly select participants and assign them hours of tv to watch per day? Because controlling for other factors does not prove causation. In fact, it would make a lot of sense that fat people watch tv for the same reason that they are fat, because they are lazy. Unless...

A single matte painting with some moving horses and smoke could have done a bit of justice to the size of the dothraki horde. If I had to guess based on what I saw on the screen, I would have said the horde was about 100 people. Same goes for all of the armies and landscapes and everything. Just...

I've got to back up all of the people who are saying that LoTR was shit. It has really really cheesy dialogue, cheesy kung-fu action scenes. Almost all of the characters are flat stereotypes of actual characters. The CGI takes centre stage over story and characters. At the time, the CGI was...

If you are going to be logical, it would beg the question how does her body withstand being raised to 1000 degrees? At the very least her blood would start boiling and that would raise her blood pressure to the point that she'd be blowing arteries and valves. Also it would not be able to...

Was naked Denarys at the end all CGI to go with the dragons? She looked awfully stiff.

Super 8 was a pretty entertaining throwback to action movies that revolve around a group of kids. Nothing spectacular in any respect, but nothing bad to say about it either. It would make a good drive-in movie.

Cat and her sister are there. It's obviously not comprehensive because there it doesn't have the Freys or Stannis or any character who doesn't have a photo

He's basically Stannis's lackey and naval commander. I think he was a pirate who ran a blockade at some critical siege for Stannis so he got promoted to official status but also got his fingers chopped off because of his pirate days.
