Game of Thrones

Man I thought I was the only one. I have wanted my husband to enjoy this, and he claims that he is but it became clear this episode that he has absolutely no idea AT ALL what the fuck is going on. While watching I will frequently pause and explain things to him. This week, I was explaining something to do with Gendry's scene and mentioned that Joffrey wasn't Robert's real blood son but Gendry was. He acted SHOCKED and asked whose son he really was and even more SHOCKED when I told him. Yep, just the basic premise for the entire show and it somehow has escaped him.

 

Last episode should be titled "Spankus Bankium". Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Tyrion and Sansa's ceremony was such a well-done scene. Sansa kneeling down so Tyrion could cloak her was such a wonderful moment, and it help immeasurably that the girl playing Sansa is so towering.

Joffrey and Cersei are a perfect storm of cunts. It's hard to say who I hate more (Cersei) but I hope at least one gets to watch the other die sometime in the near future. And is Cersei's hair ever going to start speaking to her eyebrows?

From that episode, I can see why Tyrion is Martin's favourite character, but I don't understand why he would give him the shit end of the stick so often.

 

Because Martin wanted to make a series where bad shit happens instead of some unicorn-riding fairy bullshit where the clever, witty character with better morals than most anyone else is perfectly handsome and loved by all except the evil sorceress.

I just realized (HI TOM) that I was right on them upping Theon's torture. I mean, it's one thing to allude to some gelding, but to explicitly get the guy halfway to blowing his load before you show up with a flaying knife? Fucking hell.

When Mel started riding Gendry I came this close to hitting pause and grabbing the lotion. And that makes me curious, how do they do scenes like this? Is it "Hey man, we're going to have her naked and grinding on you for a few minutes, try not to get hard". Or is it just acceptable to pop one in front of the entire filming crew/cast? And how many times are you allowed to fuck up the scene and require another take before they catch on?

 

Joffrey, easily. Cersei at least has a slightly redeeming wit to her.

 

And you see her tits in 300.

 

Let's face it: by the end of this show, whose tits won't we have seen?

(Answer: maybe Sam's)

 

.
Usually sex scenes are closed sets, which means they kick out all the PAs, best boys, technicians, etc. and usually ask the cast members involved if any other crew members that make them uncomfortable should leave. I imagined Gendry fluffed himself out before the shoot so he wasn't stabbing her with his semi. Or, maybe he's gay in real life. That would make things easy.

And she wouldn't be grinding him for minutes. Just a scene of that length would take probably hours, maybe a couple of days of shooting. Several camera angles means having to re-set the entire room for each shot. It's long and tedious, but not for the guy playing Gendry you can bet the farm on that. That woman's body is simply not of this earth. It's retarded.

 

Melisandre is the greatest thing to happen to television in a long time. She has this inhuman intensity to all her scenes that inexplicably turns me on more than any character I can remember. If I was an actor in that situation I would just say "I'm sorry, but you're just going to have to accept this." I'm not sure what they could really expect the guy playing Gendry to do about it.

 

And to fucking think that the woman that plays Melissandre was going to play Cersei but couldn't make the early shots or auditions. Also, Cersei's body is nice, but nowhere near the chick that plays Meslissandre.

Also for this Sunday's episode you better turn off your cellphones, dim the lights and close your laptop screens.
Also all of you who don't pay attention to the details. Just listen to this song. Cersei talked about it during her vicious scene with Margaery.

 

It isn't on this weekend. From what I heard view levels sucked for Memorial Day weekend last year so they skipped a week.

 

Haha, I told someone the same thing about Rains of Castamere. Just listen and think.

Mel has a great body, that's for sure.

I'm so jacked for 1.5 weeks from now. Having read through ASoS, and knowing the possible things that will be included in the final two episodes, I get a massive erection.

 

Well, they were smart and pushed it back a week. And this episode will be watched, and re-watched, quite a few times. It should get gigantic ratings if people follow the trend that the 9th episode is generally the best (Ned Stark, Battle of Blackwater, ....)

 

Well fuck. That just shit on my excitement. Looks like I'll actually have to converse with my girlfriend Sunday night. God damn it.

 

HBO does this with pretty much any of their weekend shows nowadays. If its a long weekend, no go.

Which is stupid, since movie networks have no commercials and customers have paid whether they watch or not, but networks love to brag about their numbers.

 

Everyone raving over Melisandre, watch the movie Black Book. It's in German, but well worth it.

Tyrion. Gangster. That is all.

 

You're mostly right, but it's more than likely they use multiple cameras/single takes for that shit. Generally it ends up being one take wonders and a lot of I THINK WE GOT IT OKAY LETS MOVE ON TO THE NOT NAKED BITS

 

DAMN YOU AMERICANS AND YOUR INABILITY TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN GERMAN AND DUTCH! It's a whole other language. Granted, it almost sounds the same, minus the whole underlying angry, screaming, Jew-hating, world conquering tone.

And you get to see Melisandre paint her pubes blond in that movie, because it was directed by Paul Verhoeven of course. So there's that.
