Indeed. Needs more Shaggydog.
I want more wolves, but those dogs are terrible actors. Yes, I said it, it needed to be said. Wolf is supposed to viciously attack someone, but all I see is a happy dog leisurely trotting over to say hello to a friendly man. They can't sprint into people.. They can't snarl.
What they needed, were some attack dogs. Or just wild wolves that they unleash on the set.
"Oh, there's someone at the door. I need to go show them my balls."
it is so glorious
A new page, a new version of Joffrey getting the shit slapped outta himself.
(and the classic!)
"Nope nope, still not right, you know what just keep slapping him for a while."
Apparently he's some important character. I don't know.
It was weird.
He's been in a few episodes so far. His name's Hodor, he's got some kind of learning disability and he helps Bran.
So, uh, Hodor
He is the guy who carries Bran around
Edit: "WHO RUN WINTERFELL?"
And yes more shaggy dog please!
Have they announced who is taking over the old womans part who passed?
Each Lord of the Rings movie had a budget of over $90 million to fill ~3 hours of screen time. The first season of Game of Thrones has a budget of $60 million to fill 12 hours of screen time. In total, the LotR trilogy had about $2 million per minute. GoT so far spends about $83,000 per minute.
I'm pretty sure you're going to see some differences between what each can accomplish on the screen.
Yes but what LotR did was pretty low tech and could be done somewhat cheaply as well, it was mostly camera work from what I remember, finding the right angle to make things look right. Also probably reconstructing some parts of the set to be large.
there're some nice images showing the sets they used and the different camera perspectives, but unfortunately I can't find them
IIRC, LoTR was made for about $100m total.
Thank you! I'm Danish, but I read a lot, and watch shows and movies in English all the time. But writing well also means people expect you to know what you are saying, where they would give someone more obviously ESL the benefit of the doubt when the non-native in question said something stupid. And while I can write technically correct English, sometimes I miss a nuance, or express myself more strongly than I meant to. This sometimes happens with the boards' other Scandinavians as well (Scandinavians are nearly the only non-native English speakers posting here in any number. And also Dutch people. Probably a testament to our non-dubbed television and decent public education.)
Anyway, back on topic, I am super, super excited for tonight's episode. Re: merchandise, I really hope Fantasy Flight will get off their asses and reprint the board game based on the books soon. I've only played it twice, but it's awesome and I want to buy it.
Your math does not work out. You ran it backwards. it's $500,000 per minute for LotR. Still a big difference. But not as bad.
Plus, as someone who has not read the books - I don't get the sense these wolves are supposed to be "BIG" yet. They're still puppies, relatively. At least that's how I justified it. If we get to next season and they're still just fluffy pups? Then I can understand being underwhelmed.

Right, considering they've shown us a adult direwolf corpse, I have faith in their continuity department to acknowledge that these animals should continue to grow. But as of right now, they're under a year old and presumably not full grown.
And you're TEN YEARS CLOSER TO DEATH
guile theme really does go with everything
HBO Go is an option but I don't know how much it costs. It's also limited to the US.
