London photo of the day: big letters

What my followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ saw today…
Game of Thrones S02 E04: “Garden of Bones”
Man, this show just gets crazier and crazier. I love it.
Beauty and the Beast 3D (review)
As with every other 3D conversion of older classic films, it’s the chance to see a wonderful movie once more up on the big screen that’s the real reason to revisit it.
Game of Thrones S02 E03: “What Is Dead May Never Die”
I’m really not sure if the men in the audience who are used to their dreams of glory being catered to in fantasy can appreciate how special and thrilling it is for a woman to see this all these kickass women…
watch it: Lego Game of Thrones opening credits
Because the night is dark and full of Legos.
Doctor Who thing of the day: Steven Moffat weirdly limits who can be a companion
Moffat’s restrictions make sense only from a narrow, white, male, middle-class, Western, heteronormative perspective. Yeah, I know: What a shock.
The Raid (aka The Raid: Redemption) (trailer)
Yup, just what I’m looking for: more inventive ways people can be killed onscreen.
question of the day: Why is 1990s nostalgia being ignored by filmmakers?
I think it’s especially mysterious when we think back on how optimistic the 90s were in a many ways, certainly compared to the despair of today.
