The Head Hunter
By every single measurable parameter, I would consider this a very small film but I’m apprehensive to call it that.
Because behind all the things by which we would measure this film’s size, is its tremendous heart. There is a very clear love for film and storytelling here that fills every shot with a huge amount of passion.
GoT: The Iron Throne (Spoilers)
Oof… this didn’t age well at all. Holy shit. In hindsight I can see how stoked I was but after traveling a bit further down the road, I can see the giant pile of waste that was this finale blotting out the horizon.
GoT: The Bells (Spoilers)
This also didn’t age well in hindsight.
GoT: The Last of the Starks (Spoilers)
This one will be quick. I'm going to talk about my issues with the episode first and end in an attempt at defending it because conflicted is my middle name.
GoT: The Long Night (Spoilers)
However, I would like to say, fuck Melisandre. Not that she didn’t serve her purpose but, I’m good with that. In Shireen Baratheon’s name, we pray.
GoT: Winterfell & A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (Spoilers)
Part of the reason for this is because these two episodes felt like they were about 40% catch up for those that were pulled in by the hype and just started watching, 10% reminder for the rest of us, and another 48% was calm before the storm. That last 2% I’m reserving for the nightmare pin-wheel Fire-child because holy shit that was just insane.
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
As I can honestly say this has been one of the greatest, most enjoyable reading experiences of my life, I’ve had a really hard time figuring out where to start. I’ve had this book in just about every want-to-read list imaginable for years. It’s been in the back of my mind for so long that every now and then something would make it come forward and I’d think upon how I have yet to read it and then put it back where it came from.

Sunday Night Craziness! July, 30th: Queens, Mothers, and a Spaghetti Death [Spoilers]
I know a lot of people, old fans and newcomers alike, are feeling a bit frustrated with this show at times. I think part the misunderstanding lies in the belief that The Return was about us, as viewers, returning to Twin Peaks. I believe that, in reality, The Return refers to Cooper. This is about his return to the world. Twenty-five years trapped in the Black Lodge was not going to end by walking through a door.
