    South Park

    was kinda hoping they would devote an entire episode to satire of the ferguson stuff instead of just a quip about it. Ya know, something about how jumping to conclusions and assuming a person's guilt or innocence based purely on race is racist. A bit about all the white people knocking each...

    My internet is too fast for me to ever actually take advantage of (1 gigabit fiber). I can't find any server that uploads faster than 100mb and even using torrents by the time i connect to enough seeders to start hitting 400-500mb the file finishes downloading. What am i supposed to do...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    There is no evolution in the story as presented in that video. I never read that comic so no idea if doomsday's origin is that retarded but the baby would die the same way every time, it's just a clone of the original weak ass baby. As presented in the video, it's super concentrated Lamarck...

    kinda hoping adam is jesus christ. of course they'd never go there but man, wouldn't it be awesome? not like this show is going to survive for a renewal anyway, they should just go crazy with it. final episode should be the reveal: "yeah so my mom, she was kinda loose in her youth, and...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Actually no, he told them how it ended for each characterthat matters. So every important role in the outcome is going to be shown. BOOK SPOILERS! Everything that gets cut doesn't matter! it was all fluff to stretch out the books. He's free to change his mind as many times as he wants...

    this thread 3 months ago Oh noes HBO is finishing the goddamn story instead of dragging ass and stretching shit out with 2 books of side stories and red herrings. hardly fanfic. It took GRRM 6 years to write like 9 chapters (what he hadn't already written for what became a feast for crows when...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah you are right they totally don't do any sort of storyboarding or planning on a TV series, they write the scripts for each episode 5 minutes before filming them. Don't worry they'll go back and do the lady stone heart reveal sometime in season 10 and re-incorporate the grey joy's in...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    You missed the part where they aged up Trystane and Myrcella and removed Arianne, didn't you? Also no Ironborn, apparently they aren't important in the grand scheme of things. Or possibly Euron = Daario. Not sure why people can't seem to fathom that they have only 3 seasons left to finish...

    HBO will finally let you watch without having Cable

    What Cable provider? When I lived in the US i had cable internet only, and only because it was either the only high speed internet service available, or it was the fastest internet service available. I haven't had cable TV (or satellite) in 15 years, which is when I became an Adult and moved...

    I'm still going to steal GoT. Now if they offered something like pay $100 bucks, get the full 10 episode season of GoT streaming available the same time as it airs on TV, and that $100 also included the dvd/bluray of that season you paid for when it releases (like a year later) then I would...

    same except replace ads with this thread and DVR with Torrents. somewhat interesting show, worth the bandwidth thus far. I actually like the sherlock holmes aspect of it, though it does feel out of place. I suppose he could of just spent several lifetimes training himself on how to be more...

    Interstellar (2014)

    There's a reason people who've read the leaked script/matty mccon etc are saying how epic/ambitious/etc this movie is, how it's going to be like 3+ hours long, etc. Of course the leaked script is basically just the first draft (his brother was sole author, the film is based on a collaboration...

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    So you are saying that the movies portrayal of Nova Corp was basically fine and perfectly in line with the comic books with the exception of their leader and a 10 sec clip saying the 5% of the dudes who are more than just space cops were busy doing something else? Then what the fuck are the...

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    knowing nothing about GotG comics/storyline etc, I thought the film was fantastic. Slightly below/possibly on par with the Avengers (so either #2 of the MCU or tied with #1). Obviously it was different thematically so it's kinda hard to compare them. It certainly was entertaining. I only...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Why on earth anyone would want this to go more than 7 seasons is beyond me. Say they find the money to make it happen, the show sits on the edge of profitability, they start filming the extraneous filler, viewership tanks and it gets cancelled. Grats you never get the ending. Maybe HBO out...

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    Oh no it is most definitely a serious critique against the films. I realize that small/weak/useless race like hobbits can contribute and ultimately be the heroes who save middle earth is kind of the premise of LOTR, but only when you frame it just so. How it should have ended version of...

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    Never read hobbit or lotr. Just watch these films as a fantasy/cinema fan. The best version of the LOTR films is accomplished by removing every scene with just Hobbits in it. From the 3 films you end up with a 3 hour epic fantasy battle movie. It's the story of the races of middle earth...

    You think 200mil is a couple million? 200 mil a year is what it would take to pay the key actors 10x their current salary(a piddly 1-1.5mil per episode, far less than sitcom stars like seinfeld, friends, or BBT were/are bringing in for a far less demanding 30min per episode filming schedule)...

    A little less gravy? What are we talking about here, 50k more an episode per actor? Thats a million more per episode or 10mil more per season. The economicsmightwork out at that rate. But who is going to lock themselves into another 3+ years of GoTs extremely arduous filming schedule for such...

    as each new clip and trailer is released it's becoming clear that that leaked script from 2008 has, for the most part, remained intact. which is good because, purely on the visual imagery alone, that script is fucking epic.

    you people seem to forget that they have only 3 seasons (5, 6, and 7) to completely finish the entire SONG OF ICE AND FIRE. That thing which is only 5 of 7 books complete (oh wait, now it's probably going to be 8, says the guy who is still no further writing book 6 than he was 3 years ago)...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Trystane doesn't get roasted, that's Marty. And most likely that whole plot is cut as well. They've aged both Trystane and Myrcella up, probably for some romeo/juliet-esque love plot. No Arianne means no Arys and that subplot (which looks to be altered anyway, with Jaime heading to dorne...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    uh what...? Targ's aren't immune to fire, and certainly not to dragon fire. This idea was a show only creation not from the books. Given the huge number of targs who've died from either dragon fire (dance of dragons) or attempts at hatching dragon eggs (summerhall, et all) there's really no...

    Actually all of this is just to counter the silly reddit theory. Again im on the road i cant do much fact checking. But im pretty sure the one and only indication anywhere in the books is the mention of Dragonsteel in the nw records, and its far more likely thats just an error on grrms part...

    I can't look it up right now but im pretty sure the valyrians discovered the first dragons (in recorded history) inside the 14 fires. There were other protodragons like the wyrms that lived in the earth, sea dragons from iron born legends, etc. But actual dragons weren't around til the...

    Yeah the tv adaptation really screwed up the dynamic of that scene and arya as a character at that point of her development. if they know that they aren't headed to gravedigger vs sir robert strong for cersei's trial by combat then they should of just had arya finish the hound off. I mean i...

    Neither peter dinklage nor charles dance were begging GRRM not to kill their characters off, they both know that there are at present, 5 books written, and Charles Dance knew that his character died at the end of the 3rd book (some fan spoiled it for him after he was cast to play Tywin. He...

    The records say obsidian, not dragonglass. dragonglass is just the common, modern day term for the substance known to the educated, maesters, and children of the forest as obsidian. The dragonsteel is the only mention of the word "dragon" revealed to us thus far in the old records of the NW...

    There is a massive difference between an actor not reading the books on which his scripts will be loosely based upon, and an actor not knowing that the goddamn books exist, already, long before said scripts are written. Bitch started pleading with GRRM to "not kill her character off" during...
