Winter Is Coming : GRRM: Blackfish not in first season

Sat, 24 Jul 2010 12:42:57 +0000

Did anyone see the Walking Dead trailer from Comic Con (someone filmed it and put it on youtube)? Looks pretty awesome. And they have been shooting for only a month or so, maybe we get to see some footage too in the next two months.

Winter Is Coming : GRRM: Blackfish not in first season

Well people, the greatest news today (this week!) is that we'll be saying goodbye to IntenseDebate! I'm going to the pub and then when I'm back hopefully there'll be some kind of newsthingy from the TrueBlood panel at San Diego (or wasn't that tonight?).

Winter Is Coming : Syrio training with Arya

Seems like a smart move to me. Adding fresh blood in a new season always keeps the viewers sharp. The Tully's can wait another year.

How cool of Miltos to drop by. It's nice to see that an actor can create a positive vibe amongst fans by just a teeny bit of interaction. You saw it with Conan, the Stark children, Loras and now Syrio. I know that a lot of actors are too busy or just don't want to be bothered, and I don't mind that at all. But this Miltos guy is another example of pleasing a fandom by just some tweets expressing how he is busy with his character so we can sleep comfortly at night. That he's commenting on this board makes him almost as cool as his character.

She's the girl next to the black man, pretty certain.

Winter Is Coming : Paint Hall abuzz with activity

Ah, then I misread. I'm curious how the kids will handle their accents.

Thanks for the inside info. VVery nice of you to drop by the Paint Hall! Interesting that there still isn't any certainty about the accents. As a non-native english speaker I won't notice it if there are slight different accents, but I can imagine that US and UK people will be annoyed if there is a lot of mixture in the accents.

Winter Is Coming : More casting clues!

Thu, 15 Jul 2010 22:55:34 +0000

Pffweeheee! Didn't refresh this page for 5 hours and look what I've missed! George is making everyone crazy. Just when we think we nailed one of his clues, we get confused over the two lords and one knight. I'm too drunk and too lazy to solve these difficult clues, but I'll just state that we can write off Ray Winstone and Mark Strong. Come on people, Mark Strong get's 100 calls a day to play a villain in some big budget Hollywood movie and Winstone is way too busy in movies to be tied up in a series. Correct me if I'm wrong!

I'm not expecting them to win, it's just great to see a dutch cyclist riding in the top 10 since years, and Menchov is doing great as well. So you won't be crushing my dreams this time thank god. A total disgrace the French director didn't put a camerateam on the two rabobank's who were tracking Contador and Schleck instead of the immensely underperforming Armstrong who was a minute behind them. Sorry for Contador, but Schleck seems to be the strongest this year. Don't forget a Dutch tennisplayer was very very close on beating Nadal in Wimbledon this year. Damn those Spaniards!

Hah, couldn't wrap my head around the digit, never heard about the finger/digit. I've let the WC rest and am now 100% focussed on the tour de france. Go rabobank!

Does somebody know what he means with: "So only one hint for today. Expect big news about a small digit, very very soon. But not here. Look for that somewhere else."

Yukh what an anti-climax. The dutch played hard, but the only foul really worth mentioning was the kick of de Jong, that should have been a red. The ref just screwed up the game. His annoying talks after every foul and way too many yellow cards removed all the tempo from the game. And let's not forget the obvious corner the Netherlands deserved right before Iniesta scored, even people from the moon could have seen that. This game deserved to be decided by penalties. For me this will always be the game Robben missed the one chance to win the cup... Congratulations to Spain. Let's meet again in two years.

Just came back from partying like a monkey' ass so pardon my spelling. But this is just friggin' awesome. The dutch are back again in the final since '78 and we're here to win it. I've been reading international news-reports and everybody's counting on that Spain-Germany is the final already. Screw it, we've played like crap all tournament and still are in the final, just imagine we play the level we should and we crush Spain or Germany. Okay, that is a big if. But let's just imagine, this tournament has been one crazy dream, one crazy dream indeed. Uruguay played like heroes today, and again the dutch showed the heroes their place, the heroes' place was one place behind the dutch. If the WC had any justice, we already had won it two times, this year we're going to reap!!!

One again the casting people have shown me I do not need to worry about this show. I love it they got another unknown talent.

I've been away for a couple of days, so I missed all the quarterfinals except Netherlands-Brazil of course. My oh my, what a game! Never have I seen a game with two faces like that, Netherlands blown away the first half, Brazilians were lost in the second. And finally we saw some real spark from the Dutch! Let's hope we're not too euphorious right now and underestimate the Urugayans (talking about crazy games, Suarez as a goalkeeper). I'm very curious if Spain can pump up their game against the Germans, for me the surprise of the tournament. Another final between the Netherlands and Germany is definately my wish. What a way to get the ultimate revenge: Germans play the beautiful football, we get the cup!

Oh glorious day! Brazil here we come! Two quarterfinals to look forward to: Holland-Brazil and Germany-Argentina. Can we win the WC with this boring football? I think so!

yummie yummie indeed. Classic in the making! England blown away the first 35 minutes and then the game is on fire. Blatter needs to go right now, you just can't keep on saying you're not using replays for referee's for the sake of the game, yukh! What an injustice.
