Richard Madden
June 18, 1986 (Elderslie, Renfrewshire, Scotland, UK)
Hey, remember 3 weeks ago when Robb was still alive and we still had hope? If his storyline taught us anything it's:
never bang a nurse. And if you absolutely have to - for the love of God, don't marry her.
Seriously, though, today on the occasion of Richard Madden's 27th birthday I've been continuing my
frantic art making for tumblr meme and I realized it's unbelievable how much I'm going to miss him and his on-screen mother
Michelle Fairley on the show. Though because of the writers ridiculous bias towards Daenerys, Robb and Catelyn didn't get enough of screen time, it's mostly because of Madden and Fairley that it was impossible not to want good things to happen for the Starks.
In the immortal words of legendary Aldous Snow from Forgetting Sarah Marshal - "Awful bloody movie". I was left with a number of reflections other than this one as soon as the end credits of the new Superman movie Man of Steel came up on screen - how the hell can a movie with Henry Cavill 1. shirtless 2. in a tight suit be so dull? How in the world Adams and Cavill had zero chemistry? Why did they make Diane Lane look like a homeless person? But among those questions there was also one request - don't ever let Zack Snyder direct a movie again.
Dearest, I feel certain that I am going mad again. I feel I can't go
through another one of these terrible times and I shant recover this
time. I begin to hear voices and can't concentrate so I am doing what
seems to be the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest
possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be.
I know that I am spoiling your life and without me you could work and
you will, I know. You see I can't even write this properly. What I want
to say is that I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been
entirely patient with me and incredibly good. Everything is gone from me
but the certainty of your goodness. I can't go on spoiling your life
any longer. I don't think two people could have been happier than we
have been. Virginia 
They've made a huge mistake. That is the first thought I had after seeing the finale to season 3 of Game of Thrones. I usually defend the writers but I don't know what they were thinking - Mhysa contains some of the worst decisions they have made in the show so far. To illustrate how much of a wasted opportunity that finale was - before seeing it, I'd say season 3 is the best season of the show so far. After seeing it, season 1 still holds that honor.
Unusual. That is the first word that comes to mind when thinking about Stoker. The film is unlike anything I've seen recently - the director Chan-wook Park has very unusual, vivid style and his movies always feel like stepping in a very weird and creepy dream. Stoker is his English language debut and the film blends between usual Park's style and this new component which is the story that is much more approachable than any other told in Park's movies yet at the same time it's very hard to understand what drives the characters and guess what lies ahead.
It is here. The dreaded and anticipated Red Wedding has happened and we are left with all our anger and grief. I'd be at loss to think of a sequence that I consider more cruel or more shocking. George R.R. Martin books were filled with prophecies and signs written in a way that as I reached that chapter I still didn't know what will happen. And then everything fell into place.
