  1. I’ve looked online at other comments about the movie. Most people are complaining about actors dropping their accent at times and the characters dialogue and or behavior not aligning with their supposed professions. Also the unlikely way how the sleuth wraps the mystery up. That it felt contrived. I think they may not be paying attention. All these complaints can be attributed to a hidden plot. We are given examples of an actor in the movie dropping his accent when he confesses he is not who he’s pretending to be. As well for every other complaint. It reminds me of people saying,”How does Mrs Marple or Jessica Fletcher run into a murder every week?” I think they may have come up with an excellent explanation. Th e supposed sleuth is a government spy. Working with others to fake murders and commit espionage. A bit risky for a plot in movies but a great one for a weekly series. A slow reveal of how a spy team has actually been perpetrating events alongside the protagonist.
  2. Has anyone seen the movie Invitation To A Murder? Ive recently rented this movie and I find myself still thinking about it. There is more going on in the story than what is manifesting for the audience to believe in. Most likely what may be hidden will be revealed in later productions. The next in the series is A Murder at the Embassy. I dislike a mystery that does not have evidence or a “clue” presented to the audience that leads to answers. Therefore I must ask if anyone has seen the movie and if so do they have an opinion about a possible subplot? Maybe I just missed something. I despise evidence withheld and only alluded to. The chase is cheapened! A mystery needs clues like a sleuth needs suspects! An observant viewer may enjoy this mystery. The 1930’s decor alone entertains. The set and lighting are very well done. I prefer more shadows and midnight fog but alas… I can’t fully recommend this movie, if it is a planned to reveal later story. It may just be the use of nonlinear storytelling,( a pseudo false intro scene?) that has me confused. I’m just missing something concrete. It still is a decent movie but may be unfulfilling to some.
  3. How can I get an autographed picture of George RR Martin? Can I mail a self addressed letter somewhere? Maybe have him personalize it with my name? Ive decided he spends so much time in my dreams I need a picture for my nightstand

  5. This is what I hear when people complain of the darkness in HotD I remember my older brothers friend coming over and playing a cassette of this like 25-30? years ago.
  6. It’d be funny to watch her birthing scenes on an endless loop. Or the actual length of child birth. Its just so brutal. I can’t imagine what it would be like. The pain. The blood. The suffering. To be an innocent little vagina….Man makes me feel guilty all those times I pretended to put a condom on…almost. Its funny because I sympathize with the vagina, and not a fellow female human.
  7. Omg!Omg!OMG! I. Love. You. You are an artist sir! You have made my dreams come to life! Thank you! Could you do the farting stuff? I really want to see Otto try to talk to Rhaenyra on the bride at dragonstone. Only to have to constantly restart each sentence as Syrax keeps farting. I imagine all the accompanying men gagging and coughing. “It’s in me mouth!”. Retching over the bridge. Otto turns to look at Syrax. Syrax innocently stares up at the sky. Pretending like she doesn’t know what she’s doing.
  8. Are you acknowledging that there was more going on in that scene? Or. He’s a rapist that has a lot going on for him? Like a crown and kingdom and stress, family trouble?
  9. I never thought I would ever be concerned nor even interested in who may be or who may not be a (the) Whore. Thanks GRRM! This is my life now…judgmental and prudent. Keeping up with the Kim Targashyens.
  10. The direction should of been AemonD pushing back against his bullying as a child against his cousins. After being inpowered by his half dragon soul, I mean demon soul, doh! I meant Daemon soul…I don’t know anymore. but yea I agree. Grinning lunatic or expressing pent up rage from a childhood tramua or repressed feelings. Pick a character direction. reminds me of the Rocky Horror Picture Show “He didn’t like me! He never liked me!”
  11. I agree. Also I wanted to say I like the name. Cock merchant. Need a pic of a cog vessel with a big mast. Ha!
  12. Ha! Almost every successful show in the last 15 years has been nothing more than a regurgitation of Asoiaf. Every writer and producer working in the entertainment industry is beyond influenced by GRRM and his accomplishments. From Happy and Rick and Morty to…anything worth mentioning. Shocking that they would even pretend just to placate social media. Broad Casting indeed…the games we play at…the masquerade we dance at…the songs we must sing. Bah-humbug!
  13. Also how did Erryk get there. Randomly shows up at the perfect time to crown. He walked or rode to the island? Exits a ship dressed like that and just walks right up. Security kinda shit the bed on that. Suspicious!
  14. That bugged me to. I wanted to see the ship and banner sail in. Then I was like “oh is he speaking of something else.”. Was it budget? I didn’t know that was a Marbrand.
  15. Was it a surprise? Like media speculation? Was there concern?
  16. Do you mean from the book or is there another copy of the show somewhere? I liked it. And I didn’t at the same time it’s weird. They make almost everyone having no intent to cause harm. I feel if they are doing this for everyone it requires more screen time or at least a silent contemplation to show some sort of struggle. The dilemma for me is I dislike a story with a cookie cutter protagonist and antagonist, but man I’m really missing it here. I want my Tragedies of violent delights. I want to hear them curse each other’s names and cry havoc! …plus more tities. Actresses making 100k an episode, I want tities. However much they paid Daemon I got to see that ass. Where. My. Tities? (joke) ((The last part here)) (again. Joke.)
  17. Man Why do I always get the top of an old page on these threads. No one ever reads these. Moderators! I demand you make a place where I can exhibit my genius of the comedic arts! A section for those of us who serve a higher calling of silliness! And this place shall be called…Camelot. The Spam Hall of comedy. (Not to be confused with The Spam Hall of Spamelot and Spam Camelot.) This shall be a place where those who complain of darkness within the episodes will be shot with magic missiles and forever fetching Mountain Dew. This shall be a place where fart jokes reign. A safe place for dead parrots. A place where those who lack impulse control and attention spans can muse with their peers. A place called Camelot. ~Celestial Choir Sings~ …Camelot.
  18. FUN WITH EDITING. Rheanyra giving birth to baby. Her face contorts in pain. Bared teeth gnashing. •Edit. Quick Cut. Dragon gnashing teeth. •Edit. Rheanyra continues birthing. •Edit. Quick Cut. Xenomorph Queen from Aliens gnashing teeth. •Edit. . Rheanyra continues birthing. •Edit. Quick Cut. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s face from Total Recall under atmospheric pressure. •Edit. Rheanyra continues birthing. Baby is delivered and held by Rheanyra. •Edit. Quick Cut. Kuato from Toal Recall. “Open your mind…”
  19. With the budget you’d think they could squeeze one little fart joke in. Just a squeaker. ok I’m done.
  20. I agree. What about the guy who cleans the dragon stalls? What’s his life like?
  21. This episode needed at least one dragon farting. •Scaredy-Fart. When Arrax lays eyes on Vhagar. •Nonchalant-Fart. After Vhagar kills Arrax and flys away. •Silent But Deadly-Fart. Daemon singing to dragon, they each sniff the air and grimace. Both share an accusatory glance. •Fartus-Interruptus. Every time Otto begins to speak on the bridge at Dragonstone Syrax let’s out a different sounding fart. •Weaponized Dragon Farting. Crop-dust your enemies. Non-lethal but highly demoralizing to enemy troops. May cause Dragon Stink-Pink Eye. Not trying to be clever here. I just feel the episode could have strongly benefited from a classic dragon fart joke.
  22. Meh. The brass held no luster. So much hype about episode 10. I was hoping for a bigger reveal. No dramatic monologue or anything emotional. No conflicts nor grand cooperations. Just fell flat. I was hoping for a better falling action from the last episode. All attempts to build suspense or climax was immediately halted. Not even edging. Flaccid ending. Meh. What do I know, I like the foot scene. I wish Aemond said unemotionally and monotone, “ I made a whoopsie.” As he flew away. With the camara on him for a solid minute afterwards. Just starring ahead as he flew home. Would of at least been funny.
  23. Are there any Leicester illumination reference within the books? Or Vitruvius? Atlantis Dio Dorus? I’m working on a provenance to a library of works and GRRM bushels well.
