I've read another 40 or 50 pages today. I'll have to say that once the feces finally starts hitting the fan, it's quite a shitstorm. My god. Paragraphs become plot points. It's a hell of ride, once it starts moving. This was my experience of the book. Very slow build up, but I loved the climax wher...

It kind of annoys me that Clapton is remembered more for Cream than Bruce, but I think Jack Bruce was far more the heart of Cream than Clapton was. Very underrated bassist too - he played a lot of stuff that was definitely not rock music, yet made it fit into the rock music format. RIP I think fans...

I don't think there's any way Walt would have just cooked for Gus happily, Ananda. Gus didn't even want to take Walt on, because he was arrogant and thought himself much more savvy than he actually was; the plan was always to cut Walt loose once Gale learned the meth recipe. Walt was impossible to ...

This series was damn near perfect, and I'm going to enjoy reading through the comments here. This post will be SPOILERY, in case not everyone has read, though it seems I'm late on the bandwagon here. To kick it up again, what did people find the most intense moments of this very intense series, and ...

I know my opinion is unpopular around here, but I still maintain that Elena was mentally ill. I'd agree with that. It's crystal clear she's quite emotionally unstable, and there are hints something a lot more severe could be going on. Wildness in her eyes and such. Her obsession with Kevin and desp...

This pretty much describes how I feel about Elena, as well. The only ways in which I am cross with her concern her incestuous desire for Covenant, her insensitivity to Amok's death, and her refusal to hear alternatives to drinking the EarthBlood. But in certain ways she's the victim of Covenant's a...

Breaking Bad
So this show has been hailed as one of the best TV shows of all time, mentioned in the same breath as The Wire and The Sopranos . I think it deserves every bit of praise it got. It featured some of the finest acting I've seen on screen, big or small. The plot and characters gripped me like few shows...
Agree with most of what's come before. If you like the first season, it's only gonna get better for you. I hated Sinclair a lot...partly the character, and partly the actor bores me, but other things kept me hanging in, and it paid off. I can't really hate the guy...I mean, there's not a lot there ...

There were never any nude pics of Emma Watson, as I understand it. The whole thing was a prank some idiot on the 4chan forum thought would be funny. :roll: Not even that: someone was pretending to be from 4chan, making the threats to either give 4chan an even worse name or just to stir the pot. As ...

Also let's remember that Berek started out fighting for a Queen- it ended up ending the monarchy, but it was a civil war, not a rebellion for freedom or democracy. A legitimate monarch and her champion vs a tyrant. I'd suggest that while Berek and the Old Lords in general were much more communally m...

A new genre gradually being added to my library: crust punk. It's angry, misanthropic, nihilistic. It mixes guitar tones from sludge and broken glass vocals with speed and aggression. I likey-like.
