"The (Very) Big Bird Job": Portland? Are they going to pretend to be hipsters? Because that would be hilarious. OMG IT'S A MICROBREWERY THEY ARE HIPSTERS. "Thief juice!" OMG ELIOT IS A FOODIE (I mean, obviously, but this is still hilarious). "The Tony Stark of the 40s?" Haaaaaaaaaa but accurate. Oh, man, I totally want Sophie to buy a theater. Hahaha, Eliot spit out the beer! And then dun dun dun!: mysterious ending!
Game of Thrones
I disapprove of the new Daario actor. Daario needs to look like he could be in a boyband. I'm not sure if I like Oberyn yet.
Bronn was awesome! I love the scene with Joffrey and the Book of Brothers. However, I don't think I liked the Tyrion/Shae scene. She seemed more petty than how I think of her, and I wish Tyrion had been more tempted or sympathetic to her rather than just pushing her off.
TOTALLY SHIPPING BRIENNE/MARGAERY NOW. I'm also shipping Dany/Missandei. I was shipping them in the books before I read more closely and realized that Missandei is, like, eight. Even if Dany is 14 that's too sketchy for me. I approve of the show aging her up.
I find it really interesting how similar the last scene with Arya was to the newly-released chapter. Was the reason they released it last week just to get it out ahead of this episode, I wonder?
Oh, Ser Dontos. You were almost kinda sweet here. Alas for your future.
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE.
The Grand Budapest Hotel
I am generally not much of a Wes Anderson fan, and saw this movie only because I was with others. But I liked it much more than I expected to! I don't normally dislike his movies, exactly; it's just that I find them unengaging and tend to occasionally zone out while watching them. But this one worked much better for me, probably because of the book-end train scenes which give everything between them so much more depth. The first in particular made my throat tight- apparently I have a particular horror of that situation, where you thought you could protect someone but such turns out not to be the case. And then the second, nearly identical scene, was very much the perfect answer.
Anyway. I recommend it! It's a very pretty movie too, of course.
And I got to see the trailer for Belle, which I am so excited for!
