About
Hey, this is my blog. Pat Sponaugle’s blog.
I started this blog up at the request of my Facebook friends, who got tired of my long rambly movie reviews blowing up their iOS Facebook apps. I like to think it’s because my reviews were too awesome for the app, but it was probably something more pedestrian, like the fact that they were huge.
Anyway, I’ll use this blog to present the occasional movie review. On very rare occasions, the review might be topical. I’ll post an occasional opinion. I’ll try to amuse. I have some experience with being amused. Observe below:
This is me with a cat:
This picture was taken when I had more hair. Ah, lost youth.
This is my pug:
In my defense, my former boss gave me those pajamas for Chichi the Pug.
It is very very likely that I will talk some Game of Thrones.
You haven’t seen all of Game of Thrones? GO SEE IT NOW!
Oh, you haven’t read all of the five published books in A Song of Ice and Fire? GO READ THEM NOW!
I’ll wait.

I know how you feel about spam (given that hilarious article you did on spam bots and their tricks) – but I promise you this isn’t that. I love your Thrones insights, and I couldn’t figure out a better way to grab your attention than through here. Just wanted to pass on a unique little Game of Thrones tribute I came across while bored on Youtube. It’s a unique mix of Westeros-philosophy-meets-modern-themes. I’m not really a fan of the genre, but when you slap the Iron Throne on the cover…why not! Check it out:

Probably echoing every other person posting here- Having read the books, reseen the excellent tv series (again and again) and listened to numerous podcasts, i find the whole subject matter endlessly fascinating to discuss with anyone and anybody. Recently stumbled over your site whilst searching for future signs of things to come. I look forward to reading all the articles present and future!

The best in my opinion is Game of Owns- a mix of book and non book readers; funny, insicive. Game of Thrones Podcast from baldmove.com is also good. Anything to tic away the weeks and days between seasons and books, eh …..

I’ve heard baldmove, and I have heard about game of owns. My favorite is A Cast of Kings, which features film critic Dave Chen (not a book reader) from Slashfilm, and Vanity Faire writer Joanna Robinson (smug book reader – smug in an engaging way.)

Thanks! Pugs are great. But you know that.
And no, she’s not named for DBZ’s Chi Chi. She was named by her first owner, a little boy who named her after one of his stuffed animals.
