    Multiple outlets are reporting that Alden Ehrenreich has been cast as Han Solo.

    No, but I've played every Call of Duty since Modern Warfare. The hit detection issues in AW and BO3 were real.

    Boots on the ground is fun and reliable and less prone falling victim to janky mechanics and netcode. Also, if I wanted to play Halo/Destiny/whatever, I would be.

    They want us to pay $80 for the game we don't want (Infinite War) just so we get the game we do want (Modern Warfare Remasterd)? No, screw these people. They've milked this franchise to death, they make promises and break them, and they abuse their fanbase. I'm done with this nonsense. Plenty of other multiplayer games out there.

    So, a movie with all men in it is ok, but a movie with all women is not? "Conservative" is not the word I would use to describe that stance.
  6. Duke Togo
    Ah, so you're one of those people.

    I have zero interest in plot leaks.

    Confirmed from Daisy Ridley's Instagram, that video of her is not for anything in the movie. She's been nagging her sword trainer to teach some wushu moves, and that's a video is just a little bit of some of what he's shown her.

    I wasn't expecting Roose to die this past weekend. I also thought the first try at resurrecting Jon wouldn't work. Not sure if we talked about it on here or not (I guess I could have looked), but I had started to buy into the idea that Mel would fail at bringing him back, and when they went to burn his body he'd rise out of the flames. And Tyrion with the dragons was just a flat out great scene.

    Also, it's important to keep in mind that while Jon is still dead at this point in the books, there are actually two previous instances of resurrection in the books, as opposed to the show's one. What we know from this is that in both instances the people brought back are changed to varying degrees (Beric more so because he's been brought back six times). Jon will also have to pay this price, but the question is how different will he be? I think what we'll see from the resurrected Jon will be a reflection of what Maester Aemon said to him: "Kill the boy, and let the man be born."

    Resurrection is a strange beast in the story, and the mechanic behind it is unknown. A crisis of faith seems to be the one factor in common to both instances we know about. And, for what's it's worth, Shireen's sacrifice hadn't been paid off yet. Mel sacrificed her to make her visions in the flames reality, which she wrongly took to be about Stannis. Surprise, they were actually about Jon. In regards to her visions, the book does a better job here, I think, because when she is looking for her champion in the flames (who she thinks is Stannis), all she sees "is Snow." She's confused by this, but now we know why she sees him. In the show she only says that she saw Jon fighting in Winterfell, which she took to mean to be fighting alongside Stannis. As far as Thoros of Myr, Beric Dondarrion, and the rest of the Brotherhood without Banners go, well, they're still in the Riverlands. If the show heads back there (which the trailers seem to suggest), there's a chance we may see them again.

    I went into this season thing the Tower of Joy sequence was going to be the great reveal, but I now am feeling like they're not going to take it that far quite yet. But they are definitely heading down that path with the introduction of Lyanna this episode and the Tower next episode.
  13. Duke Togo
    Screenplay but no director.
  14. Duke Togo
    Yeah, can't say I agree with the Freddy Kruger look, but it would have been pretty awesome had he gotten up and walked out of his funeral pyre.
  15. Duke Togo
    The North remembers, Dobber.
  16. Duke Togo
    House Umber is in disarray because the Greatjon is still being held captive by the Freys, and the Karstarks are essentially in a bloodfeud with the Starks. House Manderly was also name dropped, but we all know the story there.
  17. Duke Togo
    I assume TWoW will delve much deeper into the resurrection process, but like Thoros of Myr, it took a crisis of faith to bring the dead back into the realm of the living.

    Azor Ahai! The prince that was promised! What a episode!!
  19. Duke Togo
    Gally shouldn't be buxom. Damon is too tall, though.
  20. Duke Togo
    Gally is from Mars, so I'd argue she should only be played by a Martian.

    I was just about to post the same exact article, but March beat me to it. Great news.
  22. Duke Togo
    They need a girl early-to-mid teens who isn't particularly tall for this role. She's a full-out robot, so I'm not sure ethnicity really matters here.
  23. Duke Togo
    Oberyn lost because he let his emotions get the best of him. The Mountain was no match for him. Like Tuco said, "When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."
  24. Duke Togo
    Yeah, you beat me to it. It's sword training, not fight coreography.
  25. Duke Togo
    Totes is. So, I had something pointed out to me about the Dorne segment that I totally missed. Blame this on me not rewatching the end of last season before the new one started. How the hell did the Sand Snakes get to Trystane, who went Kingslanding with Jaime and Bronn? And why did Jaime do nothing to him after his daughter died? He's not even under guard or anything. Hell, he'd have made a great hostage had they turned around after Myrcella died. But no, he's just chilling on the boat painting eye stones for her funeral. I had assumed that what we saw go down with Dorne in this past episode was them wiping the slate clean so they could start fresh with the Martell's, but it's just as bad and nonsensical as it was last season.
