HBO adaptation of Game of Thrones - will this be just for nerds? (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

I have thought about this. I reckon it can sort of be explained away by the fact that they spent more time with their mother who is from the south. Certainly with the girls they would be around her a lot learning to be ladies and so on, while the older lads hang out with gruff soldiering types.

But overwhelmingly everyone in the world has the accent from the place yjeu grew up in, parents' accents irregardless. This is true. It's an error.

I don't think it's a great explanation but the girls could have had elocution lessons or similar. Anyway, Jamie Lannister has a European accent and his brother Tyrion has some weird pseudo-English one so it's not like it's the only inconsistency.

I'd always rather hear a number of inconsistent accents within a show or film than have otherwise perfecly good actors compromise their performances because they're trying to mimic an accent they'll never manage.

Tyrion reminds me of Eddie Izzard.

Dinklage gets a well deserved Emmy nomination!

That's one of the only nominations the Emmy voters got right.

wow Modern Family is the new juggernaut, huh

also ppl should not be rewarding Melissa McCarthy's hilarious "Bridesmaids" role by nominating her terrible, terrible sitcom

Isn't the entire premise of Mike & Molly "LOL, fat people"?

from what I could tell, yes; I only made it through 10 minutes

Maybe I am being unfair because I've only seen the promos for it, but that's what it seemed like.

Melisandre will be payed by Carice Van Outen and Stannis will be played by Stephen Dillane.

that dude looks like a perfect Stannis

zomg Van Houten is gorgeous

he was awesome as Jefferson in John Adams xpost

"Carice Anouk van Houten is a Dutch stage and film actress. She won four Golden Calves for her roles in Suzy Q (1999), Undercover Kitty (2001)..."

lol

have they cast Davos yet? he seems like the best candidate for a "bigger" name actor out of the new main characters

he's going to die isn't he?

we all die, someday

also btw many readers of this thread haven't read the books yet

valar morghulis

i haven't read the books but just assume that any character in this show could die at any minute

just like life

right

i don't think i spoiled anything by simply naming a new character?! we've been talking about season 2 casting for the last 10000 posts

not saying anyone spoiled anything! just, you know, be mindful of stuff

yeah jerks

just go read the books you lames

i dont reads books

i like them movin pictures

was that directed at me? i haven't read anything either! i just assumed a big name would be more prone to getting killed.
i'm pretty much expecting minor spoilage on this thread at this point. and with my memory i'm going to have forgotten anything said here by 2016 when season 2 comes out.

xposts books make my head hurt

They're making my WRISTS HURT right now, because I'm re-reading this damn series on the subway.

hardcover?!

This series has made me so glad I bought a Nook.

^^^^this

i'm waiting out for the cranny editions

slocki is that you

i learned from the master

Well, I had Books 2 & 3 in paperback, but I'm afeared my copy of Book 4 is HC.

if a film ever gets made of The Wasp Factory the kid that plays Joffrey needs to be cast as Frank.

(liam cunningham is the guys name)

these new castings are cool. stannis guy is great. melisandre would ideally have been a little older maybe.

i am obv talking purely about physical appearance. i have no idea if these folx can act worth shit.

carice van houten can act her ass off. she was great in the mega underrated Black Book

Just want to reiterate what I said earlier about Dillane in John Adams. Totally awesome.

good day sir!

just go read the books you lames
