Quite a few singers I like have covered "Sally's Song," but they never seem to bring the particular frailty/loneliness/defeat combo that Catherine O'Hara managed with her original. One of those film music moments that's part of my source code, so to speak

May my grave become a shelter for every creature of God that wanders in search of refuge and warmth.

Wait, Baelor was based on Edward, the Black Prince, right? Beloved heir to the English throne who died young, after which things got rough for a while: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_th…

Whoever designed the newest update to the iPhone should be shot into the sun. How did you make everything substantially worse? How is that even possible?

The last thing Macbeth sees

Listen to If Books Could Kill!

It's GARTH MARENGHI'S DARKPLACE and you all freakin' know it.

Just watched Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Is it good? No. Would I recommend it? Probably not. Did I enjoy it? Maybe? Was it too long? Yes. Did we need Rihanna? No but somehow also yes.

I think the X-Files missed a trick by not having all of Mulder’s nemeses together in one episode. Think about how funny having Krychek, Robert Modell, Cancer Man, John Barnett, and John Lee Roche teaming up to make Mulder think his sister was alive would be.

Darren Mooney It's funny: I think Branagh's Hamlet can only be fully appreciated in your teens. As an adult you see the blemishes. But at sixteen, or nineteen, it's a perfect film.

Snow White & the Huntsman is such a Hollywood movie. Charlize Theron has to use magic to avoid looking 40, despite looking like Charlize Theron. I love Sam Spruell, but it would have been better if the character was much older.
