Cersei POV chapters are the best part of A Feast For Crows and outweigh the awful and tedious chapters of Brienne looking for a maid of three-and-ten with auburn hair.

Cersei's Continuous Mistake was something I was really looking forward to seeing on television and they hosed it up, Ser Pounce never even got named to the Kingsguard and that travesty shall not stand.

:yeah:

It's an extra shame 'cause Headey would have owned the poo poo out of some of that insane book stuff. Headey would have owned the poo poo out of Book Cersei in general. She's great on the show and the Lannisters are often the best part, but they whitewashed the poo poo out of all the siblings and it will forever bother me.

lmfao I guess today was the 4 year anniversary of a GRRM announcement that WOW wasn't going to be out in 2015 because I re-posted it from an FB memory to laugh about and even one of my normal friends commented "Winds is never coming out".

you've got to give the show some credit because they ruin stuff so goddamn good. Imagine making Arthur Dayne not cool, the amount of effort that must've took is just amazing.

also one last good thing about feast: I AM DARKSTAR, I AM THE NIGHT

The books seemed like they were working Varys to be a kind of Haviland Tuf figure, who is manipulating everyone from the shadows. As opposed to his show version, who just goes to join Dany.

In case you haven't seen it yet, this headache inducing pile of dog poo poo was nominated for best editing.

A scene where a guy sits down in a chair has more rapid cuts per minute than a Resident Evil movie.

And yes, that's Littlefinger, as awful as always.

AHhaahaha, goddamn. I mean, still not as bad as Crash (2004) winning against 4 other better movies,but still.

IIRC Natalie Dormer doesn't like/is allergic to cats so they cut them out of Tommen's scenes with her.

I just listened to a podcast where they all agreed that Dance was better than Storm, and was the best and people who didn't like it just didn't understand it, man.

he can act like a sleezy 20th century politician with an American accent; he just cant act like a 10th century sleezy politician that shoukdnt have any accent.

Also the writing:

Tommy Carcetti: "I wake up white in a city that ain't"

vs

Littlefinger: "Play with her arse"

Littlefinger is sort of a tough role and no one is doing him any favors with the script. I think at some point the character will get to go balls out with his play and not have to be doing the hiding/scheming scenes anymore and he'll probably do better.



Probably not though this show sucks and he's gonna trip on something and die like that one doctor in World War Z.

Someone like Littefinger will have Saddam Hussain style body doubles. I bet he’ll die on screen at least two more times before he does something dastardly with The Others.

I had the same thought and realized the last season dropped out of my memory almost completely. I should probably watch it again before the last season to refresh but god i don’t want to.

i'm gonna say it: aiden gillen wasnt even that great in The Wire. Carcetti was subpar, overshadowed by all the other talent on the show. Carcetti shouldve been relegated to season 2.

Aiden Gillen's best role was as CIA in The Dark Knight Rises because he shows up right at the start, says like three lines of dialog, then got the poo poo beat out of him by super jacked Tom Hardy and didn't have to be in that tuba fart of a movie anymore.

The Wire will always be one of the only shows that got better when they started focusing on child actors. Season 4 was one of the best seasons of television ever.

That’s just indicative of every problem as the show goes on - spymaster using different accents with different people: clever. Actor randomly switching accents mid scene: lazy or indifferent actor and director.

Like you can see George Lucas was never a particularly attentive director in the original Star Wars when Carrie Fisher’s accent changes at random based on who was on the set that particular day.

I spent a lot of time making useless GoT memes over the years, there are dozens more which I can't find now cause they were all over facebook and also who cares, they're not really funny. except for the littlefinger one I guess.

it kind of worked out alright in A New Hope though because Leia winds up speaking in her posh faux Brit accent to Governor Tarkin and her standard American in front of Luke and co. It's easily read as her character playing the role of diplomat in the face of her enemies and while being herself when rescuing her rescuers.

As an aside, Mad Max 1 is another example of a character's constantly shifting accent being beneficial. Toecutter has a different one for every major scene. Pretty sure it was purposeful though and it works because 1) Toecutter is a creepy weirdo madman and 2) Keyes-Byrne loving sells the hell out of his performance.
