Something that kind of bugs me about the new Planet of the Apes movies is how it seems really random which apes can talk and which can't.

They all have the potential to talk, if they care enough to learn. Like humans, they have to be taught how to speak human languages, or watch and listen enough to learn on their own. Like how Bad Ape doesn't know sign language at all, but learned how to speak English by listening to humans at the zoo.

Why the gently caress was there any goddamn hint that Ed Sheeran was going to be in Game of Thrones? Did anyone seriously need to know before the episode aired, because it was pretty weird and would have been a lot better if no one said poo poo, because going in and realizing the ginger gently caress would be there was one of those "wait, oh no that's him there gently caress" moments that takes you right out of the show.

I had no prior knowledge it was going to happen and I thought I was having a stroke or something lol.

they're all bad though right? I mean they were shifty as fuuuuuuuck, I was expecting something bad to happen but that's just Game of thrones for you

I actually like Snow Patrol and love Sigur Ros and had no idea

I usually watch the show out of the corner of my eye while doing something else but then I have no idea who those people look like either.

The guy who played Hodor (Kristian Nairn) is a DJ though, I knew that much at least.

Sigur Ros is hard to miss, they were the band at Jofferys wedding. I think I read somewhere they wrote the song they played too.

The bad thing about the Ed Sheeran cameo was his singing directly into the camera with his mug right in your face, there was no subtlety to it.

They had Mastodon as some wildlings and no one knew, they had the singer from Snow Patrol do a song in an earlier season but they didn't focus the camera on him so he fit into the world.

With Ed Sheeran it was like they stepped out of Game of Thrones and went into a fan fiction mashup.

My IIMM in GoT is that I've only seen like almost 2 episodes, and I'm just wondering why they only have one giant guy.

I saw the one where the zombies and elsa darth maul attacked people and he just started smashing people, but I dunno why no one gave the dude a giant sword because it just seems kinda obvious if you think about it. You think you are gonna be fighting a giant horde of poo poo, you wanna be able to gently caress up as much as you can.

Also, I dunno why there's only one giant dude. Seems like there'd be more than one wandering around.

I guess if you watched more you'd know they're basically going extinct. Not a lot of giants left.

Also, they don't practice metallurgy themselves, so just think how hard it would be for regular folk to smith a sword his size. I'm pretty sure at several points he uses a big club (i.e., tree trunk) and at that size, I imagine it's basically just as effective as a big sword would be.

And in an earlier episode, we do see a few more giants and they use giant bows to launch what are essentially ballista arrows, so there's that, I guess?

Ah, that explains it.

Wouldn't need to be a "real" smith made sword though, just imagine a big sharp Guts Berserk style sword and he'd be wiping out entire battalions of poo poo.

Kinda sad that they are going extinct, but hell, the entire series from what I understand is basically depressing as hell.

I heard a story about somebody running into Patrick Stewart and saying they loved him in Macbeth, and he lost his poo poo with joy and wouldn't stop talking to them. He was just so happy not to have them mention X-Men or Star Trek.

On one hand, I get it, it must be tiring to have people quote movie and show lines to you from 20 years ago. But loving Christ, Patrick Stewart didn't become a household name from Macbeth. It's like when Harrison Ford gets pissed when people ask him about Han Solo or Indy Jones. Dude, you are that character, you will always be (until a reboot). It's not like you're well known for being a chomo or being a thief, it's something you should be glad people like.

I remember reading that the dude that played Q (who was also a minor role in Breaking Bad and does voice work for cartoons) is pretty chill, and he never knows what people will bring up when they meet him, because he's done so much different stuff.

Sir Patrick had a really funny anecdote about a hotel stay.

He'd just started unpacking and flipped on the tv and it was tuned to TNG (which he never watched and had really no idea about the plotlines or anything but his own role) and a maid came in to see if he needed anything and he was sitting there, with himself on the telly and feeling like a doofus trying to sputter out that he doesn't watch that poo poo and isn't a total egomaniac or anything.

The awkwardness of that i hilarious :allears:

Stewart has often said he was grateful to star trek for boosting his career and I don't think he ever expressed resentment toward it, but it was probably nice to be complimented on a project he did out of passion.

I think Stewart disowning or not knowing much about Star Trek is very overblown. He did direct quite a few episodes and has remembered quite specific episodes in interviews before.
