Sansa Stark and Tyrion Lannister: One of the most compatible couples in Westeros

ljejelj'e
Could the Kingslayer and the Maid of Tarth be on the road to romantic bliss? Those who have read every published word of A Song of Ice and Fire may know the answer — but regardless of whether these two characters will hook up at some point, the Game of Thrones fans at OK Cupid certainly seem to think they should.

GOT: Inside the episode 3x08



SOURCE

Pretty solid episode imo. I enjoyed it a lot. Definitely one of the best in this season imo. Also they have really sped Dany's arc. If next season she's going to be in Mereen in the beginning of next season it seems they're either going to slow her storyline (idek how thats possible) or start writing more fanfiction. Also I'm already done with Daario tbh.

A GoT post before tonight's episode aka I guess this is the viewing post.

Look Past the Dragons in Game of Thrones
By MATT ZOLLER SEITZ


We’re only halfway through the season, and it’s only May, but it’s already hard for me to imagine any show topping Game of Thrones on my 2013 year-end best-of list. There are more innovative and original series, but none that satisfies on so many levels, or that juggles so much plot and so many characters with the appearance of ease.

Since HBO’s blockbuster adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s fiction debuted in 2011, many have lodged complaints about the show’s racial stereotypes and simplistic sexual dynamics—and rightly so; Thrones was a problematic series and still is, despite course corrections that suggest showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss heard their critics. Beyond that, however, the show doesn’t get enough credit. Nearly a decade after ­Peter Jackson won Oscars for a film ­series about wizards and hobbits, fantasy is still seen as disreputable nerd bait rather than a legitimate mainstream genre. That should change this year, and if it doesn’t, fans can cry foul. Thrones was always solid and sometimes awesome, but its third season represents a giant leap forward in ambition and execution. It’s equal or superior to any big-screen fantasy picture you can name, including John Boorman’s Excalibur and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and as wise about the intersection of friendship, family, and power as the Godfather films.
Talk about waxing poetic, damn.Collapse )

Lmfao, omg I'm so sorry mods. Such a mess. And I get where this article is coming from, but if it's really hard to imagine any show topping this one at the end of the year, then Idek. Breaking Bad is a show that exists, lol. Anyway, this will be me tonight, tbh:

George R. R. Martin: DiCaprio is the best Gatsby



You might expect the author of epic, fantasy saga Game of Thrones to have grown up on similar tales of mystical kingdoms and dragon warfare. As it turns out, George R.R. Martin is a Great Gatsby aficionado.

On his personal blog, the author has posted a glowing review of Baz Lurhmann's latest adaptation of a novel he calls “one of my favourite books.” Martin admits “This is a book that has vast personal meaning to me, one that has affected me deeply.”

The Great Gatsby opened the 66th Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday and has been receiving mixed reviews. Addressing the critics, Martin says “Count me with those who loved it. I think this is a great film.”

He writes: “Visually, this Gatsby is just amazing, something even its harshest critics have been forced to allow… I don't think it would be correct to say that it brings 1920s New York to life, since I doubt that 1920s NYC was ever so saturated with colour, life, sound. This is a dreamscape, everything bigger, brighter, noisier..."

Martin goes on to praise a string of “terrific” performances and speaking of Carey Mulligan’s Daisy, he admits “I would have been obsessed.” The author also had high praise for Leonardo DiCaprio, preferring the actor to Robert Redford who he calls “too handsome, graceful, self-assured, and in command of every scene to be convincing as Jay Gatsby.”

DiCaprio, however, perfectly embodies Martin’s idea of Gatsby. He adds: “this is a new, mature Leonardo, as I have never seen himself before, and he does a great turn here. The Kid and Jack and all of those vanish, and there's only Gatsby... trying so hard, dreaming so fiercely.”

'GAME OF THRONES' CO-CREATOR: We LOOOVE Torturing Theon Greyjoy



David Benioff is one sick bastard ... 'cause the "Game of Thrones" co-creator tells TMZ he was actually LOOKING FORWARD to shooting the Bobbitt-ing of Theon Greyjoy scene for "quite some time."

Benioff -- who runs "G.o.T." along with D.B. Weiss -- was leaving the gym in L.A. yesterday when we asked ... as a man, how difficult was it to produce that crazy brutal de-penising scene??

We also asked if the torture will ever stop -- and while Benioff wouldn't give a definitive answer, he did give us this:

"All I can say is ... we love Alfie [the actor who plays Theon] but we also enjoy torturing him."

One more fun fact -- apparently there's a casting director who gets to screen all the naked extras for the show. Ya gotta hear our photog beg David for a job as her assistant.

Pretty funny.
