I don’t know the actor, and we only guessed he was Dornish because he wore yellow/orange. Right? But he clearly put a lot more thought into that stupid scene than David and Dan put into the whole series. Wouldn't the Prince of Dorne say "Who the f*ck is Bran?"

Ser Hedge Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Kit alone so far gives the impression of Theoden who has been Grima Wormtongued. Hopefully everyone else coming out in the open cures him of that. Unless he is still being blackmailed over Longclaw It_spelt_Magalhaes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t blame anyone who would want to distance themselves from the travesty. Wow. I am definitely listening to the podcast. His talents eventually won them over, however, leading him to become a go-to director for the pair. That said, “The Long Night” was nevertheless a rough shoot, and the director details its arduous creation on the podcast, saying that there was a lingering fear that it would end up being “a remix of every battle we’d ever done.” He also says he argued with Benioff and Weiss over the battle’s dearth of impactful deaths. “I wanted to kill everyone,” he says in news that really makes us wish he were running the show. “I wanted to kill Jorah in the horse charge at the beginning. I wanted it to be ruthless, so in the first 10 minutes you could say all bets are off, anyone could die. But David and Dan didn’t want to. There was a lot of back and forth on that.” Sapochnick says he eventually relented because “there comes a point when they dig in and you just don’t want to be there.” bold 1: yeah, only it wasn’t a proper remix, it was so much worse than that. bold 2: well, as w/ others who have spoken on the subject, you can see it must have been a delightful and lovely experience. /s Ser Hedge, hewman, Beardy the Wildling and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't imagine the looks on some directors faces on a first peak at their script writing style. IIRC, it went to snarky pot sometime after season 4, I think, the actual script snarkiness itself. teej6 and hewman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard of Banefort Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I'm having a hard time seeing how these guys are going to manage a Star Wars trilogy. They don't respond well to criticism, they hate doing press, they resist changes to the script, they don't like to relinquish control to the directors . . . Lucasfilm got rid of Colin Trevorrow and had J.J. Abrams re-write the script, kicked out Lord and Miller mid-production, and had most of Rogue One re-filmed because they weren't happy with Gareth Edwards' work. On top of that, the Star Wars fandom is notoriously critical. I just can't see how this doesn't end up being a disaster.

I'm genuinely curious if there are a lot of Unsullied out there still being vocal (after all this time) in support of the dumpster fire? Yeah, we see a few types on the forum interrupting and hijacking moan threads, I just assumed they must be from HBO's social media team or just extremely happy about certain character outcomes that they had predicted, but other than that did anyone actually enjoy the show so much they're still actively picking fights with us dissers? Thought the type of 'casual fans' who might have actually liked the shit fare would have moved on to the next thing whatever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It_spelt_Magalhaes Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Wasn't one of the D's onvolved in that stellar moment of Marvel called X-Men Origins? Disney, as lords of the manor of all things Marvel have acquired the X-Men franchise haven't they? As such they should have enough clues as to the m.o. of people they're hiring.

Dragons Are Real Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 The Ds don't stand a chance working for Disney. Disney demands not just quality, but quality conforming to their vision and (OH HEAVEN FORBID) their over-arching themes. And since we all know themes are for eighth grade book reports, I imagine their first couple meetings with management after they've begun their script to go something like, D1 = "Check out this awesome dick joke." Disney: "Um. We don't do dick jokes." D2 = "We do. They're awesome." Disney: "No." D1 = "We have any known eunuchs in this bitch?" Disney: "NO!" D2 = "Well, anyway, we've written twenty three scenes involving full frontal nudity. Both sexes. We're equal opportunity perverts." Disney: "YOU DID WHAT?!" D1 = "We're gonna need some pretty epic tits for some of these scenes. Otherwise the jokes don't work." Disney: "I think there's been some sort of misunderstanding." And then things will get ugly. I can't imagine these two arrogant pricks managing to stay under Disney management for long. It may be the quickest firing of major producers yet.
