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

Yeah, I guess "moron" is uncharitable, but she seems to be horrible at both practicing and reading the courtly manners she's so concerned with all the time. Like, Tyrion didn't ask for ________ any more than she did, but yeesh, girl, come on.

or she becomes Littlefinger's mini-me and, at a crucial juncture, acts in what she perceives as her own best interests with catastrophic results for others.

She's there to show the audience how monsters are created, I think. First terrified, then sulking and resentful, then gradually more calculating, devious and eventually destructive. This is what happens when you grow up a pawn of castle intrigue, and the endpoint I suppose is Cersei

No intended spoilers there, I'm just guessing where she's heading

Hahahaha

Great, now I'm hungry.

Jesus, the Mountain guy is fucking ridiculous.

Michiel Huisman (Daario Naharis)
He took the role of an extreme swimmer in the upcoming Swimmer, a role that used to be Ben McKenzie's.

He's really into taking roles over, isn't he?

George RR Martin gets turned on by himself: http://grrm.livejournal.com/386867.html !

least surprising news

I've been thinking, and I think the show really dropped the ball not casting Colm Meaney as Areo Hotah.

He's a pro at just standing there

Oops, spoilers.

went to the movies tonight and saw nu-daario in TWO things: a preshow commercial for chanel no. 5, and the trailer for some movie where he dates an ageless lady. i guess america has officially caught Nu-Daario Fever.

Really looking forward to next series. Been realising how much more exciting it is than pretty much all the other popular dramas.

Think a new thread's probably in order.

for the movie with the ageless lady? i agree

i just can't get over how not weird it'd be for that lady to be 45 years old

wldve been better if he said 2045 years old and she was dressed in a gladiator outfit

I've never played any of these Telltale games before but I just tried out the first episode of the GoT one and it was pretty good! Some ropey animation and some silly things but the quick decisions in the big talky meetings were really great. Suitably grim.

in retrospect, yes, i think this was just for nerds

no way man everyone love this show

in 2014 it turns out everyone was nerds

not me im a cool

A Murder of Boobs

is what this series should be called

I regret watching this stupid show

I should have played computer games instead, then at least I'd be better at games

this show isn't worth a "fresh take"

more like star bores, right??

wow rude

I'm sure all of our mothers think we're cool.

I think you mean "each of our mothers thinks we're cool." My mother doesn't think you're cool, although yours thinks I am cool.

Game of Snaps

Anyone catch Marco Polo on Netflix yet? Clearly going for the Game of Thrones boobs & battles formula - but it feels like it might be an OK timewaster for December based on the first couple of episodes.

The premise of the series made me uncomfortable and there's this too http://www.villagevoice.com/2014-12-10/film/marco-polo-netflix/

marco

Are you saying there were no boobs in Marco Polo's time? There most certainly were! They did research!

http://gawker.com/5902076/snl-explains-the-nudity-in-game-of-thrones

Yeah I don't know - it just seemed like a big dumb campy epic from the first couple of episodes.

hm

Ok so I was wrong about marco polo being maybe "an OK time waster."

Catchy.
