    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    A big problem with recasting is they really should do it across the board. They already recast Tommen and they'll probably recast Myrcella for s5... so you have a Tommen and Myrcella that aren't too far from how old theyre supposed to be relative to s1 but then you'll have an 18yr-old Arya...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah for one thing, not mentioning the Horn at all kinda takes the whole reason out of bringing 100k wildings to besiege the wall at castle black at all.... the whole reason was because they had the horn. Maybe they'll explain it later but if they didnt need have the horn they couldve just...

    What did you just read?

    It's not really about how opaque Gardens is, it's more about how awesome Deadhouse Gates is. You don't need to be some Joyce-spewing litfag to get past gardens true, but anyone who finishes Deadhouse gates is a malazan fan for life.

    What did you just read?

    Oh read Malazan then. Start at deadhouse gates then read gardens of the moon AFTER. It'll make slightly less sense in that order (not much less if at all) but it will be infinitely more enjoyable. In fact, when you get to Karsa Rapetrain you'll forget about Kaladin and Szeth altogether.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It's probably already asking too much of the audience to remember a character last seen in season 1 so their only hope is to use a flashback from the premiere to remind them who Illyrio was anyway. If they can't get roger allam they're better off rewriting the intro of tyrion-in-essos...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Actually the legendary set buff and the crafting changes suggests massive item changes/new items in 2.1/seasons. They always trivialize access to legacy items like this just before new major content patches/xpacs/currency changes.

    What did you just read?

    Well it definitely won't have the flying dragonballz duel like kaladin+szeth or anything remotely close to the stormlight stuff. So if you're still buzzing after finishing that this might not be the best series to follow up with.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    White Harbor and Lord Manderly are pretty critical to the resolution of the northern parts of the books anyway. They'd have to cast for Manderly and shoot scenes in White Harbor for a bunch of reasons so they may as well introduce it with Davos' scenes. Rickon is supposed to be up there. We...

    What did you just read?

    Yeah but the magic stays subdued and hasn't taken center stage so far even in the latest book, which is based in the world's magic capital. It never comes close to dragonballz flying hadoken malazan magic. Either way if the oceans twelve revenge plot thing isn't your bag you prolly wouldn't...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah I've been on Team Stannis since the 2nd book got to him. Melisandre's casting is a bank holiday in the universe where I am god-emperor. We even have the least obnoxious shippers with the Rickon+Shireen ppl.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Wellp turns outthe finale is gonna be 15 mins longer than ep9... Which is big but it's only 6 mins longer than the premiere. In fact, ep9 is about 6-8 mins shorter than the season average. While an extended finale is not really unusual among all the other season finales, ep9 is really short...

    My character would die of Diabeetus. While working on an unfinished novel. That would be worth 20k.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    All the Gilly scenes actually got me wondering if they've scouted a location for Oldtown/The Citadel for s5... which got me thinking if they've made casting calls for Pate or Alleras or any of the Maesters for the oldtown stuff. No news yet either way but maybe they won't have Sam travelling to...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see stoneheart this season. In fact, I wouldn't mind seeing her instead of any more LF/Sansa scenes (it actually makes sense that Darth Sansa was the last LF/Vale scene this season). I just think it would be one OMFG moment too many for the finale. Besides it's...

    Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

    Hollywood--and more importantly theater owners--are figuring out that the switching to chickflicks/YA adaptations are where the industry is gonna be saved so if you think the industry needs more spectacular 3D-animated IMAX stuff prepare for a bleak ass future. It's not that there isn't any...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah they'll prolly roll all the post-stannis shit into next season (ie election, babeh-swap, mance etc) since they'd have fuck-all to do up in the wall without that content until Jon gets killed. The LC vote, Melisandre and Mance tension is all that suspends the fact that jack shit is actually...

    Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

    That's rarely the case anytime and almost never the case during summer. All the reasons to think it could happen to THIS movie apply equally well to the other movies that bumped it down to third in the first place.

    I saw the episode with a bunch of folks and you could spot the moist hipster cunts who were gonna mewl about about being disappointed long before the show started. Was a great ep.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    They have to do tyrion-tywin, bran and wrap up the wall next episode... Throwing stoneheart into the mix will just diminish the impact of the other huge reveals. Plus they need something for briennes to do next season anyway.

    Looks like there's gonna be some kinda Mirror's Edge announcement too. Hopefully it won't be too bad as under EA's F2P regime. Maybe $9.99 tops for alternate tattoos or something.

    Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

    It wasn't the money spent making either film that made the difference; it was the way the money was spent promoting it. Fandango folks have noted how TFioS' marketing essentially ushers in a new model to push twilight/notebook-type chick flicks: the author and the stars did a cross-country...

    Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

    Yeah The Fault in Our Stars is apparently curbstomping everything this weekend despite having 0 internationals--Edge of Tomorrow even had a week headstart internationally. Still enjoyed EoT though, was great to see Ser Dontos and Locke from game of thrones.

    It took me about 6-7k shards to get my first MoJ and then another 10k shards to get my first Taskers. More than twice that many shards before I got my fucking hexing pants tho. I've gotten like 3 SMKs during that time, just as a point of reference. I've noticed quite a few WDs running...

    Crowdfunding to buff an episode might work and it was mentioned as a remote possibility for targetted episodes a couple years ago (IE: Blackwater). Bryan Cogman (the show's bible guy) mentioned they'd most likely do it to improve specific things like better CGI for dire wolves and dragons...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It might peak next season actually, not decline. This season ends with several key cliffhangers that are pretty much guaranteed to max out anticipation between seasons. Arya's escape and adventures Braavos, Stannis at the wall and Tyrion killing Tywin is going to practically staple new viewers...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    They don't NEED to budget to build new sets... they're apparently shooting in Andalusia and around Seville. And since the first thing that comes to mind is the Alhambra, and since they ALREADY shoot in morocco for the mereen shit, I'm pretty sure they'll just be bribing Spanish officials to...

    AFfc was the most divisive of the books because it was split off from adwd since he was writing so fucking slow. To avoid that season 5 is gonna have to pull in some stuff from adwd to make up for not having Victarion in the show at all. They already set the groundwork for this last episode...

    Yeah any new Sansa material will have to draw from the outline GRRM gave DnD since Darth Sansa is technically ALREADY past where her chapters are. We get hints of her transformation into LF's protege---and you can argue that the show just handled that in the visual way that the medium is forced...

    No Gwendolyn Christie credits for the last two eps so either they gamed thru sag union regs or we don't get stoneheart this season.

    Don't even worry about the SMK. It's good to have goals and I know people need to have a light at the end to keep marching down the tunnel but you don't really need the SMK to farm T6. You don't even really need jade. Hell, you barely need a weapon:

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    They had both in the books... actually they had earlier incidents with the dragons too. It was a gradual ramp-up of dragon-related complaints until her chapter ended with the child's bones. That's what got her to finally chain the dragons up remember.
