Game of Thrones, Episode 210: Valar Morghulis, or Why Do They Always Want to Do It the Hard Way?

- by in Headline, Popcorn

Tonight’s refreshments are: A tall glass of fresh organic carrot/kale/apple juice. Really. I’m also breaking out the Old Pulteney 12yo single malt Scotch whisky, because it’s an occasion. I keep hearing this ep referred to as the finale, which seems wrong. It’s the last ep of the season, of course, but to be the finale […]

Game of Thrones, Episode 209: Blackwater, or One More Drink Before the War

- by in Headline, Popcorn

Tonight’s refreshments are: Familia Camerena Tequila (Reposada), and much seltzer and lime. It is stinking humid summer here now, and that means summer beverages. Also, nothing complements bloody flaming ownage quite like tequila. Since I assume this ep will be impossible to recap other than reciting the body count and litany of horrors, I’m taking […]

Game of Thrones, Episode 208: The Prince of Winterfell, or We Are All in the Dumps with Bran and Rickon

- by in Headline, Popcorn

Tonight’s refreshments are: The last gasp of the Old Weller 107, which I have conquered after a long bloody siege. And Negra Modelo for beer, because I made chili. If it really comes down to it, there’s the Evan Williams single barrel Bourbon, vintage 2002. I am going to drink for every dull, pedantic utterance […]

Peter Dinklage on the cover of Rolling Stone

- by in Books, Headline, Personalities, Popcorn

If the first season of Game of Thrones was about Ned Stark, season two is all about Tyrion Lannister. Okay, Peter Dinklage has been playing Tyrion with such scene-stealing awesome that season one was kinda his story too. The George R. R. Martin lines for Tyrion in the book are pretty great and they work […]

I Hope There Will Be Dragons

- by in Headline, Popcorn

I was very excited to see the baby dragon eating lunch on Game of Thrones last week. I want to feed baby dragons. I hope there will be dragons on tonight’s episode.

Captain Feminist Guys and A Gothic Hex on Girls – Worst Show Ever from HBO

- by in Headline, Popcorn

So, a funny thing happened after I wrote the article Girls Entitled Hipster-Wannabe Sex and the City Suckage on HBO. I got some hate mail about how I didn’t understand that this was about authentic women’s experiences. Guess how much of that was from women who felt Girls reflects their personal authentic experiences. Did you […]

Game of Thrones, Episode 204, Garden of Bones, or There’s Noo Cure for Being a Coont

- by in Headline, Popcorn

We open this episode of Game of Thrones with a pair of comedy soldiers gossiping in the rain, because this is Shakespeare after all. Yep, fart joke and a piss, this is Henry V, except it’s an American Direwolf in London. This smooth fucker who looks a bit too much like Stannis doesn’t get named, […]

Girls Entitled Hipster-Wannabe Sex and the City Suckage on HBO

- by in Headline, Popcorn

The new show Girls, from HBO, is very probably the worst thing that generally excellent network has ever put on the air. I really enjoy the long form cable dramas in general. I prefer this structure of storytelling to feature films. (I almost never watch sitcoms. Unless they are animated i.e. The Simpsons.) I confess […]

Game of Thrones, Episode 203, What is Dead May Never Die, or Everybody Hates Theon and Nobody Likes Anybody Else Much Either

- by in Headline, Popcorn

Our ep opens with Jon the Bastard having been kicked like a bag of shit from the woods all the way to the barn. This is pretty much the life of a Stark these days. It turns out the mystery of Craster’s boys isn’t much of a mystery, so it’s a wonder why he’s so […]

Game of Thrones Renewed for 3rd Season

- by in Headline, Popcorn

Given that it is pretty much the best thing on television right now, I’m not exactly surprised that Game of Thrones has been renewed for a Season 3 on HBO. With Boardwalk Empire’s wretched season finale and few feature films coming to premium cable in a timely fashion, I wonder how much of an uptick […]
