    The Fault In Our Stars might be the best movie of the three though! (haven't seen it)

    What did you just read?

    Just finishedRed Seas Under Red Skies(Gentlemen Bastards book 2) and it left me a bit skeptical. The guy needs to find a plot structure consultant or something because, like the first book, it's a lot of build up for an underwhelming and hasty resolution. The build up is pleasant enough though...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    There is no repercussions to Oberyn's death because he willingly entered a duel to the death and died. Also remember sending him to the wedding was basically an insult.

    Very lame day of semis today, but we have our final. NADALplayed well with the return of the sun. Since Murray knew from the start that he had no chance to compete because of the time he spent on court to reach this stage and his ailments, there was no fight at all from the scott who was...

    NBA 2013?14 Season

    This gif clearly shows Lebron is not carrying his team! Two things though: - Losing Lebron is no excuse for the poor performance of the Heat down the stretch. A Lebron-less Heat shouldn't be blown away by the Spurs like they did. - The next match is on Sunday so that should be enough...

    James is doing a Lee Chong-Wei: the air conditioning is broken, but he did not adjust his water intake so he is cramping. It happened to the World N?1 Badminton player when facing his arch rival Lin Dan in the latest world championship final.

    It was WTA day with the semis. I only got to see the Shapova vs Bouchard match. The canadian youngster started very well, staying close to her baseline, dominating most rallies by taking the ball early, keeping good depth of shots and by being the first to go down the lines. The fact she hardly...

    The only thing I saw today was the end of the third set in the Murray vs Monfils and then the end of the match from the end of the fourth set. For those, who, unlike Bob Book, saw nothing, Murray cruised 6-4 6-1 in the first two sets, but Monfils managed to keep things close in the third and...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I don't think she learned from Cercei or Varrys or anyone. She just realized she is not as powerless as she thought she was: she has power over the men that love her (so, if anything, she is closest to Danny). We know Littlefinger loves her, but it is also strongly hinted that The Hound does...

    I noticed a little something that might play a part in the Ferrer vs Nadal quarter: it will be played on the Suzanne Lengen, the second court, not on the Philippe Chatrier, the center court. That's because Monfils is playing in the other quarter and, since he is the last frenchman in the draw...

    We'll know soon enough! But a Nadal that can't get as many free points on serve as usual against a Ferrer that won their last meeting seems like a tough proposition to me. Nadal is still the favorite though, but not by a large margin.

    Maps to the Stars

    The film won Julianne Moore the 'best actress' nod at the Cannes Film Festival. Sadly, I found the film not very good and Moore's performance nothing to write about. The movie has a strange tone that makes you wonder if it's very tongue in cheek satire or string of labored clich?s. I gave the...

    We two semi finals already: DJOKOVICproved to be extraordinarily opportunistic and made the most of the little opennings Raonic gave him on serve. So after two very tight sets, it was two sets to love to the Serb who took an early two breaks lead in the third. To the credit of his canadian...

    What did you just read?

    The other day, I ran out of small format books to read during my short commutes. My father had a pocket book version of the screenplay of Woody Allen'sHusbands & Wives. Well... a screenplay is really an odd beast, it's really just a trace of the movie and you have to kind of piece it back...

    We have our top two quarters: NADALstill served slowly to preserve his back, but still crushed Lajovic. vs FERRERfaced a pretty good Anderson today, but the dramatic part is that even when the south african managed to be a break up in sets, it still felt like there could be only one winner...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I don't get why you think Sansa turning her hair black makes her look more like her mother. She was a redhead also. That being said, killing Oberyn is retarded, because his arrival is what made up for the end of the war from a narrative stand point: complexity disappeared in the north, but...

    It's a bit tough to say 'Fed's decline continues'. It's true that he fails to reach the quarter final at the French for the first time in a decade, but that's only half the story. With the tennis he played today, he would have been the heavy favorite in all the other R16 match. Sadly for him, he...

    Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

    Movie was pretty good. My only two complains is that it several times hints at narrative elements that would be very interesting and bring the film into 'great' territory, but does not go there, and the film making of the action scenes is a bit underwhelming: it works well when the hero is...

    Difficult to blame Westbrook considering it's because of his steals and drives that they even were in OT. What happened is that they did not play the OT so well while Duncan played it brilliantly.
