Ten pages of action movie talk, and no one even mentioned The Running Man. You should all be ashamed. I actually read the Dunk & Egg novel on holiday. And it's decent. Not great, but not bad.

The Running Man was ok, but it should have ended like the short story did. With Arnold flying a plane into a building.

I can't even remember the story anymore - but that orange body suit makes it the greatest piece of art in the history of human civilization.

A_Bug_That_Thinks posted:Is the book out yet Better question: Did you finish writing your story yet? I have to know how it ends. A_Bug_That_Thinks posted:GRRM stared naked at the screen of the late eighties television waiting for the football game to begin. By his count, it should only be another couple of hours. A fly, attracted by the pungent stench of his pallid flesh awash with impetigo, had the effrontery to buzz near his ear. As he lifted his arm to swat it away, he felt the crust of his arm rasp against the scalyness of his rotten breast, making a sound akin to rubbing two extra well done waffles against each other. He grunted. “Paris,” he rasped out with a voice long gone to rust in the dark, “Paris, I am in need of a washing, have you wrangled a new batch yet?” Parris walked into the dimly lit room with a freshly baked lemon cake on a small surprisingly clean china plate. “Yes, I’ll get them ready, but first eat this. I just baked it, and you look ravenous”. She placed the surprisingly clean china plate atop the mound of fat that had once been a torso, just within reach of his slavering mouth. He looked at it with small eyes as hard and black as jet, with the dim light of the bare bulb across the room shining off them. He contorted his face into a porcine sneer of inhuman greed and malice. “Yes, I am getting rather peckish. But do hurry. I shan’t take long and it is well past time for a bath”. He felt himself stiffen at the thought. Parris saw his vicious little nub and gave the girlish laugh of a geisha as he buried his face into the lemon cake on the surprisingly clean china plate.

tumblr post posted:that sorta reminds me of how before the GOT show got big it was pretty difficult to find ASOIAF fanfiction bc George RR Martin would make all the big fanfiction sites take down their ASOIAF categories (you could still find it on like livejournal groups tho) and the reason for that is because a lot of his generation of fantasy authors apparently have a big distrust of fanfiction stemming from an incident in the 80s or 90s between Marion Zimmer Bradley and a fanfic writer and resulting lawsuit(s) which involved (depending on who you asked) Bradely attempting to buy the fanfic author’s idea for chump change or the fanfic writer saying Bradely had plagarized some story details from her and demanding money or something like that I hope this is true.

That's why all the previewed chapters of the winds of winter have the new awesome character Son of Ic, and his warg fox Tails.

4 of the 5 planned GoT spin offs are now dead, and no one wants to watch a non-Robert's Rebellion show, so we're almost free of GRRM Hell for good.

Feels like fantasy shows are devolving. We're getting a show about the age of heroes from HBO, and Amazon is gonna give us Lord of the Rings again. I thought we were moving away from Tolkein-esque worlds. Though they'll probably make the figures from the Age of Heroes as flawed as the GoT cast. "Look, the legendary heroes of Westros were flawed humans after all!" Yep, great.

I'll be waiting my entire lifetime for an adaptation of the books my username comes from, despite them being some of the best "fantasy" novels I've ever read. They're just not marketable enough, even the way GoT was marketed as "gritty fantasy" because there was a bunch of loving in it. Also, the Acts of Caine are a bit hostile to readers, with the first book straight up telling the reader to put the book down and get a goddamn life of their own.

At one point I thought all the stupid superhero movies were played out, and that with genx getting older they'd be past that poo poo, and it would all drift away. I have rarely been so wrong about something. with that said, the MCU is pretty amazing how they pulled it off

The MCU pulls the same trick successful Pixar animated features used to - garishly colorful things moving to entertain the kids combined with enough humor to prevent the parents from killing them selves when forced to see it in the cinema. I can understand that is something that works. I won’t take my kids to see Sansho the Bailiff for the weekend matinee.

But loved EVERYTHING ELSE! I didn't much like club music until I started spinning it. poo poo is fun to spin. First time I heard jungle beats, it was like the first time I tried middle eastern food, or ramen or anime or E. It was like "holy poo poo... this is a thing? I LIKE THIS THING. I NEED MORE OF THIS THING I DIDN'T KNOW THIS THING EXISTED." So uh. how bout that new grrm movie? I heard wildcards got optioned? edit: oh yeah and to put things in perspective, AGOT came out what... like a year or two after this album? Goddamn that was a long time ago.

Take the plunge! Okay! posted:The MCU pulls the same trick successful Pixar animated features used to - garishly colorful things moving to entertain the kids combined with enough humor to prevent the parents from killing them selves when forced to see it in the cinema. I can understand that is something that works. I won’t take my kids to see Sansho the Bailiff for the weekend matinee. I feel it's a bit more than that though, right? I know WAAAAAAAAaaayyyyy many adults who are batshit crazy excited about MCU. I think you are right though - it appeals to different generations, with explosions and simple themes for the youngers, with nostalgia, and enough depth to keep the olds happy. I pretty much hate comic book movies, and I found myself speed-watching a bunch of Thor movies and Capt America to get caught up enough to speed watch Infinity War. Note: I give a big pass to Dark Knight and Watchmen, which I enjoyed. I think the former was a great movie, and the latter hit my nostalgia buttons.

sorry, we can go back to your regularly schedule grrm rape / no book conversation. Here, take a quiz to find out what GoT character you would be! New book out in the UK! https://www.torforgeblog.com/2018/06/12/whats-your-superpower-according-to-george-r-r-martin/ And spill some Mountain Dew on the floor for another WildCard writer lost to the endless march of time: Acclaimed author Victor Milán (1954-2018) was best known for his award winning science fiction novel Cybernetic Samurai and his fantasy series The Dinosaur Lords. As a contributing author to the Wild Cards universe, he created the character Captain Trips and took readers from a presidential convention in the novel Ace in the Hole to the depths of the Parisian catacombs in his novelette, “Evernight“. kcroy fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Jul 29, 2018 |
