-What did you think about this category. What surprised you the most?


I really enjoyed this category, it had a real strong roster right up until the very end. I was kinda surprised Iron Man didn't crack top 10.

Is Tyrion a fitting winner? Who was your favorite to win it all at the start? Who do you think best defines this trope?


Knowing little about GoT I'm not sure if he's a fitting winner. I've certainly never heard of him specifically for his drunkenness anyway, unlike Archer.

My fave to win this contest was Max Payne, because I love the way Max Payne 3 deftly deals with Max's alcohol addiction and dependence through candid benders and strong art direction, like showing us Max through his eyes with blurred scenes, memory skips, and haunting flashbacks.

Max is definitely one of the best examples of this trope to me, but Barney Gumble probably fits the image of the "drunkard" that most people have in their heads best. A real underrated example is The Artist, who I really wish went further. There's something so subtly terrifying about opening a dresser or cabinet and having a bunch of hidden beer bottles fall out of it as you realize the damage he truly has done to his family. One last I'll highlight is Gary King, who I wish I supported more. He's characterized really well throughout the film, with his alcoholism first treated in a more traditionally comedic fashion before becoming more real and sad as he's really still living in the past.

Weird that you didn't even recognize Should I Stay or Should I Go, or London Calling, or I Fought the Law (even if that's a cover).

But Death or Glory isn't just my favorite Clash song, it's one of my favorite songs of all time. I'm no expert on chord progression to be honest but the sound definitely strikes a nostalgic and reflective feeling appropriate for the song's theme, it's the kind of sound that makes you lean back and just soak the song in as your mind races with memories, good and bad.

Some damn good lines in the song too. Hard to think of anything as instantly attention-grabbing as the opening couplet; then "He who fucks nuns will later join the church" in the second verse is the perfect example of the rebel growing up to become the conformist.

What I find most creepy is when my phone pings me and says "Would you like to rate your experience at [insert place here]" I know that the phone has a location tracker on it but it's still freaky that everywhere I go is being tracked.


Heh you should watch the X-Files episode "Rm9sbG93ZXJz"!
