he doesn't seem to precious about his 'vision', as long as the cheques keep rolling in.

"bland, romance novel guy" is totally otm. but i like dude's casual smugness for the role.

"Ahhh, I know exactly the sort of guy that a stunningly beautiful and independent and strong-willed young queen with armies and kingdoms and dragons would be into"

Hah, from this I was expecting the description to be "portly bearded aging scribe"

he doesn't seem to precious about his 'vision', as long as the cheques keep rolling in.

Also he cut his teeth in TV, he must be resigned to the fact that some stuff is going to have to be changed/watered down. He's probably delighted to see his world realised on screen with the level of accuracy it has been.

I mean Tyrion's described as horribly ugly in the books, and he seems to be totally behind Dinklage's casting.

also he had his nose cut off

Moodles, Wednesday, 22 May 2013 14:04 (thirteen years ago)

I suspect the reason for that change is to avoid having to expensively cgi out Dinklage's nose in every scene.

I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Wednesday, 22 May 2013 14:07 (thirteen years ago)

I think it also has to do with an attempt to give him a wound without seriously detracting from his overall attractiveness.

Moodles, Wednesday, 22 May 2013 14:09 (thirteen years ago)

it would be too gross, like reading abt it is one thing

lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 May 2013 14:35 (thirteen years ago)

i bet they told dink they had to surgically alter his nose and he squealed like a bitch about it. fucking actors.

Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 22 May 2013 14:41 (thirteen years ago)

Yeah, it would've been too much to make him go the full Time Traveler's Wife

Memorial Day, and Liberace.

yeah hbo always skips big weekend holidays which is odd cuz that's such an old network mentality and hbo famously isn't even out for night of broadcast viewers anyway. no spoilers but i will advise ppl that they will want to watch the next episode as soon as it is broadcast and that they will otherwise want to stay the hell away from the internet until they do get to see it.

xp they didn't skip memorial weekend last year and the result was super-low ratings for the 'biggest' episode of the season

ciderpress, Monday, 27 May 2013 02:27 (thirteen years ago)

yeah i guess i can't blame them then

balls, Monday, 27 May 2013 02:32 (thirteen years ago)

The gifts will be happy fluffy bunnies, brought especially by a embassy from Equestria, because friendship is magic!

Ned Raggett, Monday, 3 June 2013 00:47 (thirteen years ago)

lag∞n, Monday, 3 June 2013 00:48 (thirteen years ago)

Ned Raggett, Monday, 3 June 2013 00:52 (thirteen years ago)

i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Monday, 3 June 2013 00:55 (thirteen years ago)

bunnies are popular i guess

lag∞n, Monday, 3 June 2013 00:57 (thirteen years ago)

weddings on westeros are accompanied by a "bedding ceremony" where the bride and groom have their clothes stripped away and are carried naked to bed by the guests after the reception. so that's sure to be exciting.

Showrunner interview now live. Spoilers like crazy, obv.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 3 June 2013 02:28 (thirteen years ago)

Clay, Monday, 3 June 2013 02:36 (thirteen years ago)

balls, Monday, 3 June 2013 03:04 (thirteen years ago)

Via a certain trending topic, I saw this post on Twitter from an hour ago:

@Letigzz 47m
The Hangover left me disappointed, good thing I get to come home to watch Game of Thrones.

...think I'll check in on her later.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 3 June 2013 03:09 (thirteen years ago)

doors shutting, rains of castemere, good setup. then brutally stab talisa in the stomach. damn, it was all so brutal.

Gukbe, Monday, 3 June 2013 03:51 (thirteen years ago)

lego maniac cop (latebloomer), Monday, 3 June 2013 04:02 (thirteen years ago)

Execution, yes.

that was gutting and insanely well done

J0rdan S., Monday, 3 June 2013 05:12 (thirteen years ago)

Gutting, yes.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 3 June 2013 05:13 (thirteen years ago)

Yeah, I especially thought the Rickon/Bran separation has a lot of pathos, and given Natalia Tena's stature on the show, I kind of hope we'll get peeks at the Adventures of Osha and Rickon.

And Jon ditching Ygritte was COLD.

Ou sont les Sonneywolferines d'antan? (Leee), Monday, 3 June 2013 05:14 (thirteen years ago)

the gf and i were laughing at that one. then the laughter stopped.
