If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Don't talk to me about AMC. The wounds left by their premature cancelling of Rubicon, they are still too fresh.

AMC would just gently caress up everything and fire actors and directors mid-season so they can save a buck, all while changing plot points and pissing off the TVIV goo...

Yeah, it needs to be on AMC.

Eventually the Starks become the white walkers and the "Winter is Coming" phrase takes on a slightly more sinister meaning. The Greyjoys become the new Targaryens, trying to resurrect krakens so that they may regain what was once theirs. And the rest turn to incest, the end.

Also, I'm writing the 9th episode of the Game of Bones TV series. We replaced all the characters with male prostitutes and merged the characters of Orion Martin and Darksun so now he just fucks himself.

You see, Jon's slack jaw etc etc something about reactionary politics and the meaning behind the title, "Game" of Thrones.


Also, apparently subtext is why the book is good. Not the dialogue that's miles beyond most fiction of any kind, the deep characterization, and the real tension that comes with a realistically conceived world.

gently caress subtext. This was awesome btw:

"GRRM's A Song of Ice and Fire series has dialogue that is miles beyond any other fictional work," says person who has never read a another book in their lifetime. "Deep characterization! Realistic tension! More descriptions of food than the entirety of Better Baking's back catalog!" raved the completely blown-away man after finally reading his first literary work without any accompanying pictures. "Two thumbs and my penis way way up!"

But in all seriousness anyone who says that freaking George RR Martin has written dialogue in the upper echelons of all fiction ever produced has to be either incredibly poorly read or high. I liked the first book quite a lot but let us be real.

Said the unhinged fangirl of the egregiously dumbed-down TV adaptation.

For the record: I don't agree with stawk Archer about the dialogue either (though he is spot on about the characterization and worldbuilding). But it is a bit hard to take you mocking and putting down a devotee of the source material seriously when you yourself wax equally hyperbolic about the TV show (which is fine and even endearing, but not really anything to get all :smug: about) .

Most of what Salvy writes is an ever-increasing volume of Drizzt stuff. It's kind of horrific that there's still a market for that, but I guess the world will never run out of 11-year-old boys and 35-year-old virgin men.
