I think you mean source, right? It's from an Entertainment Weekly interview. It was mostly about 24 but it included this: There was a lot of online conversation. I heard third-hand that you were basically told that it's not likely to ever happen. Is that accurate?

What I'm worried about going forward on GoT isn't D&D running out of story. Hell, they probably skipped enough in the first 3 books to fill out a whole season. It's running out of stories for characters we've grown obsessed with. Is there any guarantee audiences are going to love the new characters in Dorme minus

I didn't mind the show. I found it diverting. I will say most of my NY friends found it a detestable view of their city.

These were my exact thoughts about Sara Jessica Parker in Sex and the City: I'm supposed to believe guys find her irresistible?

maybe I'm in the minority but I'm glad they didn't include her. It dilutes the power of the Red Wedding, much like Search For Spock muted the emotions in Wrath of Khan. Unless there's a larger, as yet unseen reason for her in the upcoming books, just leave it alone.

He did an interview on NPR a few months ago, and said that the one thing he gets asked more than any other when people recognize him is to say something in Dothraki. Apparently, he still knows the lingo.

"Suiing a genie" is flying around every development office in Hollywood right now.

I enjoyed Shadowlands and even parts of Floating Dragon. Straub is good at atmosphere, but better than at plot and character, imo. I just think everything he did after KOKO, when he turned more to suspense novels revolving around the Tim Underhill character, he just lost me.

This got to me. The movie is a guilty pleasure but there's a good version to be made from this still. Sadly, this was also probably Straub's peak.

Even though the Wachowski's have burned me time and again since the first Matrix, and that is looking more and more like a fluke, I was kind of rooting for this movie only if it was an original story and not a remake/reboot/comic book/intellectual property idea. It's looking like a turkey and beyond putting another

I gave up on this show after Season 4 (and I barely got through that). Should I pick it up again?

It has its moments. It's not terrible like LR, but it's not particularly memorable, either. Kitsch is actually one of the problems. He might be a good actor, but he's a bland movie star and that was what this kind of project needed.

I'm losing track of who this guy (allegedly) killed. This guy could be one of our great serial killers.

is it telling that the only Reese Witherspoon stories I hear now all involve the word "drunken"?

Agree: Tywin's intro explaining Lannister power while skinning a deer leaves me speechless. For all the great acting in the show, Charles Dance doesn't really get his due.

Yeah, it would be out of character for him to think like that. My impression just came when I first saw those scenes, and not being entirely familiar with him and what he was capable of (i.e., The Red Wedding).

Not having read the books, maybe I'm a bit off here, but I'm always struck by the scenes in Season 2 between Arya and Tywin Lannister (I understand in the book they're with Roose Bolton). Not only is the tension in all the scenes immense (is she going to kill him? will Petyr Balish recognize her when he visits?),

it's really not a cheesy, high concept action movie until Sam Jackson shows up, is it?

This picture also sums up Kings Landing nicely

the redhead standing by the burning field is Chastain.
