UNKNOWN NIGHT’S WATCHMAN

Last episode: “The Watchers on the Wall”
Cause of death: Skewered by a giant (literally) arrow

We saw lots of death at the battle of the wall, but we couldn’t help but notice when a redwood-sized arrow caught a Crow who thought he was beyond the Wildings’ reach.

OBERYN MARTELL, THE RED VIPER

Last episode: “The Mountain and the Viper”
Cause of death: Eyes gouged out, skull crushed and more or less obliterated

Probably the most horrible death of the series. Oberyn Martell was last seen when his pretty boy face looking like a watermelon that fell off a fruit cart at the horse parade was smushed. I could go on about how The Mountain did it, but again why bring up such memory?

I will be back with the rest guys. Let me drink small tea

LYSA ARRYN, NÉE TULLY

Last episode: “Mockingbird”
Cause of death: A one-way trip through the moon door

Funny enough, it was her obsession with Littlefinger and not her rampant breast feeding habits that did her in. Lord Baelish finished her by sending her through the moon door to an unseen splatter below.

One of Joffrey’s take away. She definitely didn’t see her death coming. That boy Joffrey though.

KRAZNYS MO NAKLOZ

Last episode: “And Now His Watch is Ended”

Kraznys Mo Nakloz never saw it coming when he walked into Khaleesi’s “Sure, I’ll sell you a dragon” trap. His death was the first time we got to see a dragon take out someone in the series.

NED STARK

KHAL DROGO

Last episode: “Fire and Blood”
Cause of death: A combo of infection, blood magic gone awry and smothering


Well, he still happens to be one of our favorite characters of the series, his death took us by storm. After a cut to his shoulder became infected, a ceremony by his Dothraki clan to revive him backfired as he was turned into a vegetable and then Khaleesi put an end to his misery.

Martin Scorsese & Robert De Niro

Jobs done together – Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, New York New York, Raging Bull, The King of Comedy, Goodfellas, Cape Fear, Casino, The Audition, The Irishman

If not for Martin Scorsese there wouldn’t have been a Robert De Niro. Imagine all these films Robert De Niro made without Scorsese – “Backdraft”, “Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein”, “The Fan”, heard of any? No you haven’t . Thought as much. If not for Scorsese casting him in “Travis Bickle” there wouldn’t have been a Robert De Niro. Scorsese been an individual who has a great eye for talents was able to tap into De Niro’s honesty which was brilliant and brutal. Together they have created awesome films.

When Scorsese took a break in the mid 90’s he had already created the leverage for De Niro to be an A-List actor. He returned in 2002 with the “Gangs of New York”, with Leonardo DI Caprio has lead. Together, he and Caprio would go on to create special movies, but the magic he created with De Niro cannot be matched.

Woo was credited to have reinvented action cinema’s in the 90s. Woo and Fat first movie “A Better Tomorrow” was so beautifully crafted that it kicked off a new style for action movies that will be emulated 10 – 15 years later. Released in 1986, the movie had that 90’s feel and it set the tone on how action movies should be made.

The two part ways when they entered the American Market but they both haven’t been good without one another.

Ford transformed Wayne from a B list actor into an A list actor. Movie by movie Wayne took John by the hand and took him through the rudiment of acting and he continued transforming him throughout his career. Ford was able to bring out the best out of Wayne and these can be seen in hit movies like “The Quiet man”, “She Wore a Yellow Ribbon” and “Three Godfathers”.

Allen and Keaton “Annie Hall” remains one of the best comedies to have ever been made. The movie also displays everything, why we love their combination.
As a couple their relationship was weird, so also was their professional relationship, but I kind of like it that way because am weird also.
“Manhattan Murder Mystery” still remains one of their best film together.
