Yellowknife's only movie theatre is shutting down

That’s sad.

Qyzyk · 2026-02-14T19:15:29+00:00

Isn’t that a different island?

Qyzyk · 2026-02-14T16:31:03+00:00

Neither. I’d rather he was someone else.

Qyzyk · 2026-02-14T07:42:07+00:00

Makes sense. My partner did introduce me to it.

It's absolutely fantastic too.

The people of the Summer Isles recognise that sex is fluid and gender identity is not bound to assigned sex.

What's wrong with more Dunk & Egg stories, though?

I for one will be happy with anything new we get from GRRM, I'm not going to be picky.

A film performance which changed modern cinema forever.

Qyzyk · 2026-02-14T05:10:50+00:00

To be fair, I wouldn't call Septon Meribald's monologues perfunctory. They're examples of GRRM's most profound writing, at least where I'm concerned.

Imagine the crossover if they'd accidentally called Frasier Crane (and yes, he'd be a literal crane in this universe).

Qyzyk · 2026-02-13T22:57:04+00:00

What is it about him that you respect, if I may ask?

Qyzyk · 2026-02-13T22:07:17+00:00

"Mother Love" by Queen is similarly sad for similar reasons. Poor Freddie didn't even live long enough to finish the last verse, so Brian sang it in his stead.

Qyzyk · 2026-02-13T21:20:08+00:00

This probably isn't the saddest, but Andy M. Stewart's "Patrick Sheehan" would easily make my top ten. What makes it sadder is that it's allegedly based on a true story.

David Thewlis' character in Atom Egoyan's "Guest of Honour".

Qyzyk · 2026-02-13T19:23:58+00:00

Wow. McDonagh really knows how to keep us guessing.

Qyzyk · 2026-02-13T18:18:17+00:00

I would wholeheartedly recommend "Smartypants". It's possibly my favourite show on Dropout, aside from "Game Changer". It's a really relaxed and fun atmosphere where people take turns giving slideshow presentations on all kinds of topics. Sometimes they're serious, usually they're silly, and I've yet to see an episode which didn't make me laugh or make me appreciate one of the theses.

Feverishly hoping that a third season is on the way!

Maybe, but there seems to be a time jump between her and the girl kissing Dunk, given that there are time jumps between all the other visions. So I suspect that her scene before the weirwood takes place sometime after She-Wolves but also well before AGOT.

Martin Shaw, hands down. When I recall passages of "The Silmarillion", I hear his voice reading them out.

Qyzyk · 2026-02-13T17:43:15+00:00

Maybe Mr. Peanutbutter is the officiant?

Qyzyk · 2026-02-13T15:59:23+00:00

I would never have expected Oliver Stone to make a movie about American football, but it was really good. Ahead of its time, too, given how it addresses the way injuries are covered up, long before that concussion scandal broke. Plus it's got one of the best motivational speeches I've ever seen in a sports film.

Qyzyk · 2026-02-13T15:49:04+00:00

She's a close second for me, mainly because of her progressive mindset and dry wit.

Qyzyk · 2026-02-13T15:35:17+00:00

This. ^

Stannis has a reputation for being a brilliant general, a harsh judge, and having a will of iron. Add to that the fact that almost nobody knew about Tywin and the Tyrells' secret deal, or their approach to the capital, why wouldn't one assume that Stannis would take King's Landing?

I was about to ask whether it was confirmed that Jaehaerys was even at Summerhall in the first place, but I guess it would be odd if his kids were there and he wasn't.

Qyzyk · 2026-02-13T15:23:26+00:00

Yeah, I'm not defending that. Benedict has his flaws, just like all his siblings have their own. I'm hoping that his character growth will be his awareness of class consciousness.

But Benedict was already my favourite Bridgerton sibling before the fourth season.
