The Long ‘Game’

Subscribe to GLoP CultureSubscribe

This week, don't talk to Rob Long about the final episode of Game of Thrones. Seriously, don't do it. Also, Jonah reviews the Universal Studios theme park, GLoP's definitive 5 best movie comedies, the banning of Gone With The Wind, the trouble with Breakfast atTiffany's and Birth of A Nation, and more general end-of-the-summer observations and hilarity.

    Rob Long as Tyrion? Perfection.

    Jonah: I was one of those people spending way too much money on my grandkids, except at Disneyland. My excuse is I hardly ever get to see them. We went in to see Darth Vader, where an actor (in a GREAT costume) approached my 5 year old grandson and told him: "Come over to the dark side and I will make you more powerful than you can imagine". My grandson replied "Okay". We exited through the gift shop and once I had purchased an expensive R2D2, we were on our way to the next long wait and ride. But it was all worth it :)

    Julia, that's awesome. I don't begrudge anyone spending the money. If JPod hadn't stepped all over my rant I would have explained. But unless you want your grandson to become Sonny Bunch one day, you should probably dissuade him from joining the Dark Side.
