It is hard to apply 'favourite' to something so soul-churning and brutal as "Ozymandias" from Breaking Bad, but it's the best hour of TV I have ever watched. "Hardhome" from Game of Thrones deserves a mention; the ending of the episode being one of the finest in the show. "Crushing Blow: The...

TAKE ALL OF MY LOVE. ... But in all seriousness, the time limit was one of the elements that brought me *into* the franchise. It brings such a freshness to the world to know that it's not centred on you--it's not waiting on you to proceed. It pushes you to make choices, prioritize...

Hungary -- Matthias Corvinus [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthias_Corvinus] The Papacy (or Papal States) -- Pope Leo I [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Leo_I] Venice -- Andrea Gritti [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_Gritti] ... would be new states and new leaders.

Does anyone else find themselves really loathe to replay games because, even with ones that you adore, there are always sections that you remember disliking? I feel as if it's a real problem ...

I was turned off by this film as soon as I saw their interpretation of the bad giants ... In the animated film the giants are genuinely quite frightening, especially for a child audience, which is as it should; the new giants on the other hand, just large people ... The Fleshlumpeater from...

I agree that Cersei's wildfire plan was predictable and she would *try* to take down her enemies, but I think there were a number of different directions it could have gone in: the deaths of most of the Small Council in the Sept was far from the only outcome. That's why it feels to me like a...

I came here just to say that The Reef is another good shark film that's worth a watch. Effective use of actual footage of sharks really pays dividends. But might catch this at some point.

If you and your friend circle foresaw Cersei blowing up the Sept and with it causing the deaths of 7 major characters, to be followed by the death of another, then I absolutely take my hat off to you; I certainly didn't, and I've also read the books. ... But honestly, the direction, score...

I enjoyed it, but it was undoubtedly the weakest of the new trilogy. Mostly because it was simultaneously very long and yet also rushed. However, I also think it's worth pointing out how unfair the comparisons have been to Civil War. Apart from their release dates, the two films are very...

Wasn't there already that direct-to-online one? I gave it a wide berth, and that's as a fan of the series. I feel as if the first properly good video-game film might be the Tomb Raider reboot; not sure about the upcoming Assassin's Creed.

I have wondered this before, as I have never thought of myself as one of the longest-active members on the forum but casually browsing some join dates I see I am not vastly far off ... Also think I was one of those lurkers who hesitated about joining for reasons unremembered.

I very much am; I have been waiting for Apocalypse to feature in an X-Men film since they released the first one back in 2000. I don't think the number of films ought to diminish our excitement for them, and, indeed, going by recent form (Deadpool, First-Class, DOFP) they aren't diminishing in...

Funnier and better than the Finding Dory trailer, over which I have genuine concern.

A third vote for Dark Souls. It would be great to play again not only because it was an emotional experience of itself but because I had a blast playing it with a friend of mine; it would be great to get a chance to bond over that sense of wonder again.

Been playing a fair bit of the game recently, and enjoying it very much. Having said that, I have a few issues with it: the Prestige victory is privileged as the option for most matches, and a Rot victory seems downright impossible; also it would be a lifesaver if they could implement a rejoin...
