Far East Cynic

I am the 1%

Not the 1% that controls 60% of the world’s wealth. Not by a long shot. I’m just a poor man struggling to survive in spite of America’s cruel and vindictive divorce laws.

But I am what appears to be that 1% of the Netflix and HBO watching population that has never seen: 1) Any episode of Game of Thrones and 2) Any, and I do mean any, of the Avengers movies. Not one.

I’m like Homer at this bar:

It’s a lonely place to be

I’ve followed all the hype online and in magazines. I’ve seen all the memes that say “Winter is coming”. I’ve read with relish the people giving George R.R. Martin hell for not finishing the books.

But I’ve never seen the show. For one thing, I’ve got other things to do. I’m busy reading and watching porn Billions, Archer re-runs, and every 30-year-old movie in my I-tunes library. Plus there is John Oliver, Bill Maher, Samatha Bee, and the Mash Report to keep up with. I lead a rich, full, Throne-less life.

And that’s probably a shame when you consider the show has people having incestual sex and copious amounts of violence. And did I mention they have beautiful women having sex? Or so I am told.

Introduced her to a cunning linguist.

I am past the point where I can binge watch to catch up – especially since I’ve read all the spoilers.

And I certainly have no patience with these people:

Ah, Ces’t le Guerre. I have missed the boat I think. Fortunately, there is no shortage of porn other entertainment with gratuitous sex to watch.

A 360 eval if there ever was one.

20 years ago if you had told me a show about incest and mass murder would be anything other than a crime documentary, I would have told you that you were crazy. But now? Well here we are:

It’s not incest if she is hot!

And I can’t wait for the sequels. And of course, it’s only 7 months till Star Wars 9:

When you don’t know who your father is, any girl can be your sister.
