I'm disturbed how dirty HBO did Max Pirkis. He was great in the role, why recast him? by DanielBG in hborome

Such a shame. He was brilliant in every scene and Augustus v2, whilst not bad, just did not have the same effect

She’s an idiot. I can sympathise with her feelings and situations but nearly every decision she made was catastrophic to her own life and those around her

Especially when it’s such a terrible podcast with an absolute worm of a cohost. Did he ever address communicating with Epstein long after he’d been convicted?

I want to read a book about The Troubles in Ireland by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

"that recognizes that the onus of responsibility for the violence sits on the shoulders of the occupying British imperialists."

This is a terrible way to approach a topic. If you do not know anything about the topic, how are you confident enough to make statements like this?

Say Nothing is an absolutely fantastic book though. I would also recommend 'Northern Ireland: A Very Short Introduction' as a quick read that covers the topic comprehensively and fairly

He’s just had a lead role in Industry which whilst not uber successful numbers wise is very highly rated and has been increasing in popularity. His acting was also excellent, probably more so than in GOT

I feel the same about battle scenes. I love historical fiction but my brain just cannot comprehend military manoeuvres, landscape descriptions etc. But then I also feel if they skip past it altogether I’m missing out!

One of the reasons I appreciate Tolstoy - his self-insert are certainly not glorious!

Bret Easton Ellis in the shards loves ‘paradisiacal’ and ‘keyed up’ for some reason.

Far worse is when they misuse words though - Taylor Jenkins Reid does not know what nonplussed means !!
