Tywin Lannister Knows Best

My children. You've disgraced the Lannister name for far too long
My children. You’ve disgraced the Lannister name for far too long

There are stern fathers and then there are cold, authoritarian, self-esteem crushing fathers like one Lord Tywin Lannister from GAME OF THRONES. The patriarch of the Lannister clan is the anti-Cliff Huxtable. He rarely has a kind word for any of his kids and on the off chance that he does compliment them it is usually immediately followed by him cutting them down especially poor Tyrion who he routinely refers to as a “stump”. So in honor of the Westeros Father of the Year I put together a video of all of Tywin’s interactions with his 3 children so you too can marvel at the world class acting of Charles Dance in the role that I don’t think anyone could possibly play better..

Scientifically Accurate Ninja Turtles

tmnt1
Following in the footsteps of the incredibly funny Scientifically Accurate Spider-Man video, the fine folks at ADHD have produced a video that takes a look at the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles if they were a tad bit more accurate scientifically. And it is just as dementedly funny as the Spider-Man video.

The 3 Game of Thrones Character That I Wish Had Already Shown Up On The TV Show

game-of-thrones
I am a huge GAME OF THRONES fan and this current season is shaping up to be my favorite especially if things occur before the end of the season that I expect to occur. However, my love of the show hasn’t stopped me from wondering why certain characters from the books have not appeared on the show yet. I get that George R.R. Martin’s books are massive and filled with legions of characters so the TV show has been creative in merging characters or eliminating characters entirely and giving their storylines to others (its looking like Willas Tyrell’s place will be taken by his brother Loras). That being said I feel that there are three characters we should have met already on the show just because they are impact players who need (and deserve) to be fleshed out a bit more before being plunged into the middle of already established characters and stories. So click onward brave soldiers and be prepared for spoilers aplenty.
