Rambling TV: Thoughts on Game of Thrones, Agents of SHEILD + more

Game of Thrones:
Sansa perfectly demonstrating how I feel about her story

Winterfell - Uggghhh here we go. Littlefinger, who at some point apparently suffered a traumatic brain injury is now marrying Sansa to Ramsay Bolton against her will. Sure, she goes along at the promise of avenging her family, but Littlefinger says he doesn't know much about Ramsay and he's about to LEAVE HER THERE ALONE. Way to go, Turbo. (Though Sophie Turner was absolutely brilliant in this episode. Especially in the above gif and when she meets Roose Bolton for the first time.)

Moat Cailin - Brienne and Pod had this beautiful moment where Pod says he's proud to be her squire then she ruins it by talking about killing Stannis. Brienne, bby, join Stannis, don't kill him. Renly sucked anyways.

King's Landing - Ewwww Tommen and Margaery. But the amount of shade she threw at Cersei was glorious. We also got to meet the High Sparrow. 

Castle Black - My favorite scenes again are at The Wall. Janos Slynt's head finally rolled. I'm disappointed they changed the line from "Edd, fetch me a block" to "Olly, fetch me my sword" it just doesn't have the same ring to it, but the scene was awesome and Stannis' approval was excellent.

Volantis - I'm a bit sad we won't get more of Tyrion and Varys' banter now that Jorah has effectively kidnapped him. Although it looks really stupid since he's being kidnapped and taken to the destination he was going in the first place.

Veep
You can't fire Dan!! ARRGHHHHHHHH


 Agents of SHIELD
There was way too much of Skye/Cal in this episode. Like wayyy to much. Chloe Bennett is getting better but she's still not a strong enough actor to carry that many scenes, especially not opposite of Kyle MacLachlan who is SO fucking terrible.

 Coulson told Ward he will put him through the Tahiti protocol to wipe his memories. This sounds like a cheap plot device to make Ward a good guy again.

 Cue massive misunderstandings..

 19 Kids and Counting.
Ah, another episode of Duggar cultural ignorance. France and Italy, I'm so sorry you were subjected to the Seewalds. 

 Also SO MUCH BABIEZZZZ!! That's all they cared about in this episode. Quiverfull has to out breed us heathens. I do have to laugh at Jessa and BenJERmin's People magazine spread. It looks like they either photoshopped Jessa's bump to be bigger, or photoshopped her head (poorly) on another body completely.
Actual photo of Jessa taken a few days ago:

      I hope so. I have this weird soft spot for Dan and Amy's banter. And I love seeing him yell at Jonah, of course.

Random Ramblings: The Radio Flyer Conundrum

-
Image
Recently, I was talking to someone about who I thought were the best child actors when I was also a child.  Two that really stood out to me were Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazello, and one film those two were in together was called Radio Flyer.  Then I was reminded about the uniqueness of this film. Instead of reviewing the film, I wanted to have an open discussion about the ending. It deals with a tough issue; child abuse. What I’ve noticed is the way that the film ends is interpreted many different ways, and the filmmakers never came forward to say what was right and wrong. I’m interested in hearing everyone’s opinions on it. How did you interpret the ending? Obviously spoiler alerts will follow.. For those of you who haven’t seen the film, the basic premise is this: Two young boys, Mikey (Wood) and Bobby (Mazello) move in with their single mother and her boyfriend, who refers to himself as ‘The King’. It doesn’t take long for The King to start physically abusing ...

Indie Gems: Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Passionate about your profession? I had never heard of this film until it ended up on one of Jason's favorite horror movie lists around Halloween. It immediately sounded interesting to me, so of course I threw it in my Netflix queue. (and if I'm just now watching it after adding it around Halloween, you know how ridiculous my queue is) Taylor (Angela Goethals) is a journalist who, along with a film crew decides to follow around a serial killer named Leslie Vernon. (Nathan Baesel) He plans on doing the typical slasher thing - getting a bunch of drunk teens in an abandoned house and knocking them off one by one. He gets advice from a retired serial killer, Eugene (Scott Wilson) and is threatened by a man who's on to him, Doc Holloran (Robert Englund) Taylor and crew are there capturing it all. Leslie Vernon is fucking hilarious to start with, and clearly very passionate about what he does. He tells Taylor all of his secrets and can barely contain his excitemen...

My Favorite Movie Youtube Channels

-

Starting around 2018, I started watching Youtube for more than just movie trailers or music videos whenever a new one dropped. Now I'm in full blown subscription mode and don't bat an eyelash at watching a Youtube video that's over an hour long. I watch Youtube for a few different categories of content, but one of them that I love most is movie/TV essays and commentary, and that's what I'm going to talk about today. Below is a list of my favorite movie related Youtube channels. Let me know if you're familiar with them too, or if you have any you'd like to recommend to me.  Double Toasted - I'm honestly surprised this channel isn't bigger. I first came across Korey and Martin when they reviewed War for the Planet of the Apes a few months before it hit theaters and I thought they were hysterical. While their full length videos stream on Twitch, they often upload their movie reviews and commentary on youtube and they're always hilarious. They've...
