Veltigar Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 It's not for everybody but it's really good story about street-level criminals. It has somewhat weird pacing (comparing to mainstream Hollywood today) and it's not really action packed but it's good and a little bit disturbing as it should be. I have had them on my list for a very long time, since Refn directed them and Mads Mikkelsen has a part in it ;) They are quite far down though, I keep falling behind on my moviewatching schedule.

I share your plight, but there is simply too few of the hours during the day, but winter is coming, so more indoor time, if it would only last for a couple of years I could clear the backlog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have heated walls, they have absolutely no need to go outside ever, Last Hero probably did the same, watched reruns of Friends and later made up his heroic struggle :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veltigar Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Dude, Others are regulars for Big Bang Theory it is known :) I can't stand Friends or TBBT, so I'll just run with the Valyrians then :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equilibrium Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I would say they like some shitty sitcom of their own but I couldn't think of any. Valyrians probably watch Spartacus or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Onion Sleight Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 ^ Your conversation :rofl: :lol:Man, I'm on WotW, read "Casting call for flamboyant villain", think "EURON! :drool: "...

Valyrians probably watch Spartacus or something I loved Spartacus, so I'm definitely on the Valyrians side :p ^ Your conversation :rofl: :lol: Dude, you're a combobreaker :p Man, I'm on WotW, read "Casting call for flamboyant villain", think "EURON! :drool: "... And then it's just some slaver in Meereen =( I had the same reaction :'( then again, I rather have him be cut than be turned into a stereotypical pirate.

Ingelheim Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I know this is going to sound crazy, and, of course, completely impossible regarding casting, but I've always pictured Euron as a bearded black haired Matthe McCounaghey. He's been terrific this last years (His Rust Cohle in True Detective is among Gandolfini's Tony Soprano or Cranston's Walter White), and I think he could pull off the accent.

Equilibrium Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I don't know, he is too gaunt and really doesnt have the Euron's utterly psychopathic visage and charismatic appeal. Maybe he could pull it off, he is a great actor but I am absolutely positive he wouldn't do it. Travis on the other hand with black hair and beard could make it work, he has the eye(s) for the part and Ragnar is pretty unbalanced himself and Travis' mannerism is well suited for the Euron, maybe broader moves and more still faced hlaf smiles and we are golden And Clive is basically how I imagined Vic... And Gustaf would be at home as a half crazy priest type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equilibrium Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I my opinion that is not the right kind of mannerism YMMV. As I said he is great but I can't really imagine Euron with his gaunt long face, no matter how great of the actor he is but that is just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadwood Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Actually, MM has proven already many times he has the mannerisms that Euron would need. In True Detective, Mud, etc. Yeah, he'd give it a decent enough attempt as any mentioned. He might look like he could be Theon's uncle and Balon's brother.

The Onion Sleight Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I've talked just now in the "Season 5 Casting, News and Speculation V 5" thread about Show!Ramsay and then came Euron up for discussion, here -> http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/117067-season-5-casting-news-and-speculation-v-5/page-10#entry6235720 (my last post, and Janicia's before), what do you think about that?

Arkash Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Out of the Vikings casting, the one I'd picture best as Euron is still Ragnar. I agree that Travis Fimmel has it in him to put an impressive Euron. He's often underestimated compared to Clive's Rollo and George's Athelstan (both amazing actors !) but actually his Ragnar is amazingly played and he could do the part. Fun fact : recently I've been deep down in the show Supernatural (dont stop to what you see at first view, it's actually really worth it) and I've imagined an older Jared Padalecki as Euron and he could be interesting.

Man I thought we agreed few pages back that Jensen would be better choice :) About Travis is agreed, but add Clive as Vic and Gustaf as Aeron, and you are golden as far as Greyjoy brothers go.

Arkash Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Man I thought we agreed few pages back that Jensen would be better choice :) But in the light of the latest seasons, I've realized that Jared has it in him to be more convincing as Euron. Taller, gaunter, somehow more sinister... About Travis is agreed, but add Clive as Vic and Gustaf as Aeron, and you are golden as far as Greyjoy brothers go. Damn, yeah, I could definitly picture that ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love "Vikings" and its characters (especially Athelstan -his storyline is so amazing and fascinating and I adore his relationship with Ragnar; Floki; Lagertha and Rollo) and actors and that fits so damn well! ... So, no matter how many Greyjoys the show cuts, I can always look forward to Vikings' season 3 :)ETA: I'd love to see Gustaf Skarsgård's Aeron so much. He could definitely pull Aeron's religious devotion and love to his god off, same as he does as Floki, just muuuch more serious and less floki-sh eccentric (Hey, he'd be amazing as young!Aeron and older Damphair). I recently saw him in "Patrik 1.5", in which he (his role Göran) is so down-to-earth, prudent and responsible, and he plays him as wonderfully as crazy Floki.And the idea with Tavis & Clive as Euron & Vic is great, too!
