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

For many years I have loved this track and always imagined myself walking down the aisle to the man of my dreams, I have waited 37 years and the time has now arrived! =)

the mission soundtrack is a better soundtrack for playing settlers of catan than it is for reading asoiaf but it still rules

"Adiemus" ... This song makes me think
of our own world and the whole universe..
of good and evil..
of peace and war..
of nature and destruction..
of life and death..
of all those dichotomies that we can find everywhere,
even inside ourselves.

I hope you like this video that I edited =)

And please, stop the destruction of this wonderful world..

haha i dont know why i am dragging this in a new age direction

“No doubt some cook’s boy or groom is prancing around King’s Landing just now in my slashed velvet doublet and jeweled cloak,” Lord Alester went on, oblivious. “But war has its horrors, as all men know. No doubt you suffered your own losses.”

^^ quiddities and agonies of the ruling class iirc

I absolutely loved this. Especially visually.

Almost finished with book 2. Oh GRRM is teasing me ever so much with his pacing, a pox on him.

Gonna start reading the first one after I finish my current book. I´m in South America though, and don´t much rate my chances of finding the others till I return home!

They have cast Asha Greyjoy, but changed her name to Yara Greyjoy

Seems pretty perfect for the role looks wise.

So my friend read somewhere that The Dink went to the same very small HS as his nephew who just won some national debate title or something and so he shot Dinklage an email stating as much and saying maybe he could congratulate the kid or something. He felt sorta dumb but figured what the hell. As it turns out Dinklage totally wrote the kid a really nice note. I thought that was pretty sweet of him. I mean I guess it could have been someone who reads his mail but you never know.

x-post

people r too stupid to distinguish osha and asha?

yara is an anagram for arya

They changed Robert Arryn's name to Robin in the first season as well. There are a lot names to keep track of in fairness

lol so here's "Pete's" letter which is actually sweet but v show business insofar as him mentioning/referencing GoT twice in a short note. Still nice tho.

That's stupid, changing a name because of "Osha"! Have they even CALLED Osha by her name yet, despite her being in several very distinct scenes??

I don't think so.

That is a really sweet note, ENBB. I like that he put GAME OF THRONES in nice big letters. I imagine him saying it in his GAME OF THRONES accent.

Just wanted to warn ultra-spoilerphobic people that it's probably a not good idea to click on these casting links.

Also, finished book 2! And have started 3. I'm not sure if the twists are as thrilling as 1, but then, I think that the most potent thrills came from the TV show.

Book 3 is the most insanest of all.

yeah if youre "not sure".... just wait bro. just wait.

it's a nice day

xp

i gave up in the middle of book 3. i'll wait for them to make the show, or whatever. i'm no longer invested in this shit.

mordy, stick with it 'til the end of 3

Wait, the middle of book 3?

yeah, i'd tell you where i got to but it would be spoilerz but basically GRRM killed enough ppl I cared about that i got bored and haven't picked it up in weeks.

dude that's still pretty spoilery?

Ppl die in this series. Spoiler. But srsly if u have no idea who I care about how can that possibly be a spoiler?

well i've read all the books so it wasn't that hard to intuit

but yeah i see yr point

Now that I'm 700 pages into the 3rd book I kinda wish they'd compressed the 2nd book into a chapter of the 3rd and skipped it. 3rd book is indeed crazy.

dude that's still pretty spoilery?

Thanks, now I'm on the lookout for many many deaths in the middle of book 3.

yeah don't be hinting at spoilers, its almost as bad as the spoilers themselves to anyone who's smart enough to actually ~make inferences~

i don't wanna start a big tumult about this, but i didn't spoil anything and if you think any of these books don't contain numerous deaths you totally haven't gotten this series (and you probably didn't watch the first season of the show yet)

nods, winks, etc to specific deaths should be avoided. it would also be preferable for people reading the books to not know when or whenabouts in a book there is a HUGE SHOCK because then they'll be looking for it and expecting something etc.

Still, saying that people fucking die at some point in these books is not a spoiler at all.

GREAT THX FOR THE SPOILERS ILX H8 U

ice cr?m dies at the end of book three

its sad he was delicious
