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.

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

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.

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

Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 02:01 (twelve years ago) link

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

Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 02:01 (twelve years ago) link

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.

Is Stannis like really rilly interested in talking about swivel chairs?

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

lololol that's because oh.

Well, yeah

What happened to Alan Rickman? I thought he was all super-rumored to be cast as Stannis. Or maybe that was another character?

She Got the Shakes, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 10:57 (twelve years ago) link

alan rickman was never in the conversation - you're probably just thinking of some fan speculation. he's got other shit to do, and besides that he's like 20 years older than mark addy (stannis' older brother on the show)

i don't really understand what it is with alan rickman and americans of a certain persuasion

thomp, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 12:15 (twelve years ago) link

he's so dark + moody!

Mordy, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 12:22 (twelve years ago) link

ha i was gonna say alan rick is too goth for game of thrones

max, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 12:24 (twelve years ago) link

maybe he could play a braavosi banker or something

max, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 12:25 (twelve years ago) link

has he ever been in anything actually good

thomp, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 12:28 (twelve years ago) link

yes.

EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 12:29 (twelve years ago) link

yes, but has he ever been in anything .. actually good

thomp, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 12:29 (twelve years ago) link

Quigley Down Under

Galaxy Quest

Number None, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 12:30 (twelve years ago) link

die hard is legit a really good movie. have you seen it man

he was the only good thing about the last HP movie. he has one line-reading in it that's so juicy you basically have to laugh

He was also in Smiley's People.

EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 12:31 (twelve years ago) link

i've seen die hard but i was fourteen and it's all bound up with the sequels and the psone game for me, so maybe it is better than i am giving it credit for

i am entirely willing to believe that he is A Good Thing in the middle of harry potter eight or galaxy quest or whatever! that wasn't my question tho really

thomp, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 12:32 (twelve years ago) link

he was in rasputin: dark servant of destiny

max, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 12:32 (twelve years ago) link

galaxy quest 2nded

remy bean, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 12:33 (twelve years ago) link

lolol rasputin:

remy bean, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 12:34 (twelve years ago) link

yeah i admit outside of die hard i dont have much to say about his filmography. i havent seen ang lee's sense & sensibility, he's in that and it has a veneer of respectability

He would be a terrible Stannis tho. Quite apart from his age
