I think snivelling book Joff would also look pretty dumb on screen now Jack Gleeson is pretty much towering over Cersei already.

On the Blu Ray features everyone is absolutely stoked that they found horses that could fall over on command, so I guess they just wanted to see more of that.

Greatjon Umber. Strategically married into the House of Dibley.

Loras has that line about a candle burning out in ASoS that is clearly a reference to his boyfriend carking it. Its also heavily implied to be the reason he joins the Kings Guard, so he doesn't have to marry a beard.

Except for the fact that as soon as she gets wet she turns full retard.

She'll probably die offscreen, just like in Hollyoaks.

Was Ser Dontos the guy that played the paperboy in Spaced?

It's going to be interesting to see, budget-wise, how they show Renly's army is as ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MASSIVE as it is in the book.

Am I misremembering or does he also admit to killing Jon Arryn at that point?

The King of Idiots is right, Baelish has about ten pages of exposition where he explains how he is behind EVERYTHING (except for the stuff Varys is behind).

DO NOT SPEAK THAT NAME ON THE AV CLUB.

Those endless pages of Dany pining for the sellsword like a fucking moron really soured me on that book and made it hard to read. The main problem was that he was a nothing character, and GRRM resorted to saying 'he was so charismatic' rather than actually have him do anything charismatic or even vaguely cool.

Is Littlefinger's huge monologue revealing the extent and complexity his cunning plan in book 3 or 4? Because that is going to be some great mustache-twirling scenery-chewing dialogue for Aiden Gillan.

By old-school TV logic two weddings in one season would send ratings through the ROOF.

Well it wasn't 'unprovoked' as such, they were clearly talking about movie stoners and Harris was saying that it was better to have an actor playing a stoner than just lumping up a stoner upmon screen and saying 'do whatever'.

The early chapters of Please Kill Me are probably the best thing I've read on VU. Also, what an entertaining book. You can open it at random and land on a great anecdote every time.

Now I want to see a Showalter/Black remake of Fargo.

Best credits sequence ever. Saul Bass can suck it compared to Arnold's icecream nose.

It was only on at the tale end of last year, and with Brooker and Huq just having had a kid I wouldn't be surprised to see more at some stage. I thought the one with the pig was a bit heavy-handed but the other two were excellent. Fifteen Million Merits was one of the bleakest things I've ever seen on TV.

The description of a terror attack on an aeroplane in Glamorama is as bad, if not worse, as anything in Psycho. Jet fuel burning up kids and eyes popping, that kind of thing.
