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.

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...

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...

No such thing as a weid time when it's desperate times.

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...

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...

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...

Sociology 101 says that it's difficult to enter even a loose social group if you feel you do not belong to it (even if this feeling is irrational). So, someone overweight who never took part in a any kind of athletic activity will find difficult to join a gym because he is not 'one of them'...

First, Verdasco indeed finish his demolition work against Gasquet and Murray escaped 12-10 in the fifth against Kohlschreiber. The german had several break chances today too! Murray was still in pain so I'll have to vavor a confident Verdasco for their match tomorrow. Anyway, we have the two...

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.

Hahaha playoff basketball! Westbrook cool as a cucumber.

Unless, you know, Durant fumbles and then SA scores just one FT and.... this hang on a set play by Brooks...

This hang on a set play by Brooks....

Also Green missed on open three! Miracles do happen!

That foul discrepancy might save the Thunder.

What's the record number of turnovers in a quarter?

If you think matches are fixed, you now Brazil will win. If only for the fact no one wants to deal with the unrest caused by a defeat at home.

One of the most fascinating video in recent memory. Amusingly, it was hacked together because there was some audio problem with the regular version of the video or something...

Very strange day of ATP tennis today. Two matches could not be concluded but we have the other three R16 matches: NADALplayed a good first set against a useful Mayer, but then things took a turn for the bizarre: Nadal started serving a lot slower than usual and as Mayer competed well, playing...

No surprise today as far as men are concerned. It was 3rd round of the bottom of the draw so we have four of our R16 matches: DJOKOVICunexpectedly played poorly today. He was a bit slipping around on the court for some reason, so could not really execute his aggressive shots and...

There is something deliciously appropriate to double post such a piece of news.

Did Ballmer ever sound sane to you?

The lack of lights is a total mystery for me. They should have lights even if they don't schedule night sessions. The lack of a roof is something they have been wanting to address for years, but it's a very complicated issue that is related to building permits and the space available (or lack of...

What a weird serie.

The first two rounds are done so we reached the phase were the 32 seeds were supposed to meet. Considering only 23 are left, it's not going according to plan! NADALproved too solid for Thiem. The youngster showed some good things but found himself unable to play the right game plan with...

it's a bit like one of these paradoxal zen question, because a gay man would not have sex with a MTF trans in the first place.

The Pacers really made sure it remained thrilling until the end... jeeeeezuz. It's very a mysterious aspect of basketball how from a game to the next in a serie, the story can be totally different.

This serie convinced me that the Heat's MVP is Ray Allen. How many daggers does this guy carry around?

On ATP seed watch, we also lost Dolgopolov (20) to Granollers after the ukrainian lead by two sets... And Youzhny (15) downed by Stepanek in four sets. Djokovic made light work of Chardy and Federer won a short straight set match against qualifier Schwartzman, but I found the swiss not very...

I will take my contrarian cap and say that FFIII is a terrible game, that The World Ends With You is a hodgepodge of 25 confusing and semi-optional game systems with an unhealthy dose of mystico-emo-pop anime trope on top (though it can't be accused of not being an original game) and that Dragon...

My jaded self says they'll revive some franchise we don't really care about. Make it on Vita to add to the 'whatever' factor... so... my guess... Siphon Filter on Vita wuwuwu! (though I am being a bit unfair because the PS1 Siphon Filters had no shortage of badass moments, but it somehow lost...

The WTA seedicide goes on as Larsson beat Pennetta (12th seed), the young slovakian Schmiedlova beat Venus Williams (31st seed) and, last but not least, the young spaniard Muguruza destroyed Serena Williams (1st seed), 6-2 6-2! The world N?1 had trouble serving but also had trouble with the...

The most critical one is the difference in screen technology. There are post-processing effects that exist to give a CRT look to emulatedgameson LCD screens, but, at a fundamental level, it can never look like a CRT.

Seedicide day: Almagro and Haas had to retire (meaning that Nadal's path to the quarter final has no more seed on it), Ace machine Karlovic confirmed his good form (he reached the final of D?sseldorf last week) by ousting Dimitrov in straight sets (and a single tie-break!). Ferrer won...

Mmmmmmmh....
