You left out one. Watch when it comes on late at night when you need a distraction and you unfortunately you get into it despite knowing you shouldn't and stay up til 4am watching it

I have had some of my best movie watching experiences under that scenario...

Not quite that extreme, but I just watched the last half of The Greatest Story Ever Told, mostly b/c it starred Max von Sydow as Jesus. As I typically do, I pulled it up on imdb while watching the movie, what an all-star cast. I was most interested in the character Nicodemus, not necessarily in the movie, but as a biblical figure. So I checked out the actor playing him in the movie, never heard of him, but he had a long career, including numerous films from the silent era. During the silent era (in 1917, I believe), he had played in "King of Kings" as Judas. Nicodemus was his last role (he died the year it was filmed). I like stuff like that...

I watched Noah. Not quite sure why the christians are upset with it. Seems pretty straight forward to me except for the rock monsters

Why would christians be upset with an old testament tale?

I've stopped trying to figure out what upsets them

I haven't seen Noah...but like I said, if I can get past blonde Jesus I can get past anything. Blonde Jesus has been responsible for more deaths than I can count over the past 1500 years, or so.

GoT

I finally went back and watched the Royal Wedding again...and then the subsequent episodes that I missed during Easter weekend and Sunday (watched it once it hit OnDemand after midnight). I see what (I think it was) Cletus meant with watching it again to see what was going on. The director blocked the scene to make it plain who the culprit was...and if you closely follow the chain of custody, you know at least how things did not go down. Good stuff.

I've not been enjoying this season as much, though. I think I just dislike a bit of almost everyone, except Khaleesi, so I don't have anyone I'm happy to see at any given time. Normally, Tyrion can carry me through the rough patches, but not this season.

who is Blond Jesus...Ric Flair?

Troy Aikman.

the impending battle of the bastard Snows seems like a good story line.

[spoiler=]Also, isn't the new guy at Castle Black the same Bolton soldier that cut off Kingslayer's hand?[/spoiler]

[spoiler=]Yes. Bolton sent him to find the other Stark sons after he learned that Theon hadn't really killed them, and apparently his first stop is to see if they went to the wall to find Jon Snow.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=]Yep...it should make for interesting times at Caster's place...[/spoiler]

[spoiler=]I thought it was just Ramsey Snow he sent but I can't remember everything from week to week. What happened to Bran's wolf that he warged out to see what was going on? He dropped in some kind of pit right in front of Ghost's cage.[/spoiler]

Maybe it's b/c I don't watch the show, but I can't see how Brook's "spoiler" would spoil it for anyone...

True.

[spoiler=]I think Brook just wanted to use the spoiler function...[/spoiler]

[spoiler=]Bolton sent Ramsey Snow to take a castle/fort still held by the Ironborn.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=]It is my favorite function...behind the YouTube function. That will always be #1 because the first versions of the function were collosal failures.[/spoiler]
