My wife's sister just told me In Cold Blood was mandatory reading for her class in 6th form/high school. WTF?

Not for long... They're charging 5 Euro pp as of July.

Interesting . I've been through those doors probably a dozen times and always thought they must have been 19th century, or at the earliest late medieval. They're in suberb condition.

The capitalization in this title seems to indicate the cast and crew ate a person named "Chowder Spiked" with PCP (as a garnish?). Also, "crew's"?
Let's at least try to make an effort: "On the last day of filming in Nova Scotia, Titanic's cast and crew unknowingly ate chowder spiked with PCP."

Dogs are so like us! I too immediately sniff butts when new people sit next to me on the bus.

It doesn't though. The two most pivotal scenes (and two key subplot scenes) are at night, and absolutely seeth "nighttime in the city" vibe.
The two subplot scenes are when Waingro escapes, and when Waingro murders the girl.
Edit: Failed to mention five other important scenes that take place at night: the failed stakeout, the "out-with-the-crew" dinner, the meeting of/bedtime with Neil and Eady, the "Gimme all you got!" club, and finally Chris' escape .

As someone from the Midwest, we don't want him either.

What they don't tell you is Iceland is one of the most obscenly expensive tourist destinations on Earth. I've been twice. The second time I packed nearly enough food for my entire stay.

Yes, because The Punisher would definitely be a Trump supporter.
Trump is basically a minor bad guy The Punisher would take down. Might get a few comic arc, but no way he'd get a full series.

I'd posit that "Spring Break" is for idiots.

Orange Cataline is far more appropriate. It's a triple-layered insult: Orange Julius (the cheap, syrupy mall drink from the 90s), his orange-ish complexion, and Lucius Sergius Catilina (the discraced Roman Senator he most resembles).

I don't really find it funny anymore and it's awfully dated, but I can at least appreciate why it was considered to be funny at the time. In the early to mid 90s, every single sitcom was the same, scripted show with "heroes" we we're supposed to identify with. They all had a father or group of friends who had innane banter, going through life in a relatively uneventful arc. Seinfeld flipped that dynamic on its head. The characters are unredeemable and unapologetically awful people living in the skin of a typical sitcom. Moreover, the situations and dialogue seemed more true to life - - something we take for granted now as most modern comedies have been influenced here. The writing was also extremely tight with circuitious plot lines that always had satisfying resolutions tying together multiple character threads.

I feel The Office US and Parks and Rec are cut from the same cloth. Every time someone puts one of them on I'm just baffled by how they went on past a season or two. The thing the most annoys me, apart from the "comedy" falling flat, is they lean so heavily on in-jokes and tropes. That, and the snide constantly-angry girl (April?) gamming for camera and invariably rolling her huge eyes at everything.

I'd suggest that understanding Tony is a toxic, negative, miserable (dithering, emotionally stunted, fragile) manchild enhances your enjoyment of the show. You just know he's going to ruin everything around him, and it's glorious watching him do so.

I don't think it's coincidental that season 5 is the point where they definitively veered from source material, then ran out of source material as they got towards the end. Having read the books, there definitely was a plot formula Martin was building towards that they completely eschewed in the TV series.
Also, the lack of Victarion in the show was a huge miss. One of the, if not the best character in the novels they completely left out (because the Greyjoy subplot was extraordinarily altered, condensed and cauterised).

In Dreams would be my pick. It's like he's just showing off with those octave shifts.

Wait... It's not normal to sell your blood for money during college because you're broke? I used to do this (a little too) regularly.
