I’m just going to say it: BEST GOT EP OF THE SEASON. If you are super sad the Red Wedding went how it did, you might not want to keep reading. Also, if you are one of those pussies whinging about how they killed a wolf and a pregnant chick, HAVE YOU BEEN WATCHING THIS […]
This week’s penultimate episode of Game of Thrones opens with the line of the season: “Are you sure about this?” Spoken by Lady Cat, to her son Robbo, who has followed the path of honor to the edge of a nasty cliff. Robbo wants to set up a last-ditch lateral move, attacking the real seat […]
This week’s episode of Game of Thrones opens on a single awakening eye. It’s a cool and peaceful morning, and young Arya Stark has murder on her mind and a rock in her filthy hands. The Hound is off his bender, though, and isn’t to be snuck up on. Lesson learned: next time, throw the […]
Errata: I largely dismissed a Gaiman-written ep last week without rousing any sort of complaint or protest. I started this season by wrongly identifying a voice actor and that was a crime. Don’t you people have any standards? Our finale episode of Doctor Who opens with a reeling orgy of fan service, with Clara time-shifting […]
We begin our episode of Game of Thrones a bit south of the wall, where we have some manner of jealous intrigue developing with Jon & Ginger and Orell. Orell’s true feelings for Ygritte must have awakened after he cut her lifeline last week. Either that or he’s sick of listening to their conversation and […]
This week’s episode of Doctor Who opens on the set where Stanley Kubrick faked the moon landing, which has been preserved at Pinewood studios under quarantine as part of an implacable, ossified turf war between a bunch of scary old spooks in MI5 and the NSA. Kidding, it’s some sort of interstellar carnival ride thing […]
The new issue of Jennifer Link’s Auxiliary magazine is out now. Some of the makeup in this issue is really cool. The makeup by a Dannie Page in photographer Bailey Northcott’s Firestarter editorial looks really cool; it is over-the-top unusual and brightly colored and the photography makes the colors pop. Model Porcelain does her own […]
Quick note: The wife pointed out to me a thing I’d never noticed about the opening credits. All the cast members have appropriate sigils appended to their names. Family sigils for all the Lannisters and such, and more creative ones for the unaffiliated, like Conleth Hill (Varys). The production staff get them too. It’s little […]
Troma kingpin Lloyd Kaufman has been a big influence on me. See his Toxic Avenger stuff in college probably quite literally changed my life. I am going to keep this brief, as I am totally running late right now to get to The Big Photo Show. Ironically, I got a late start today because I […]
We open our merry Victorian episode of Doctor Who on the set of the Every Sperm is Sacred number from Monty Python’s Meaning of Life. Or as it’s better known, Yorkshire. Edmund has resolved to get to the bottom of this dark and queer business, and rushes off behind the door with the red glow. […]
