I was on the fence, thinking this movie sounded pretentious and heavy-handed... but now with this score, I absolutely have to see it.

While true, it going over better with viewers might not be a legitimate argument. When GRRM set out to write ASOIAF, one of his goals was to write something that he could never do on TV (he was fed up with being told what he couldn’t do while writing for television, usually with regards to budget but sometimes…
I don’t think it would be offensive either, and never thought it was. I was briefly wondering if the joke would still work, and concluded that it would.
I’d rather they released a movie or televised version of the musical.
Actually, yeah, thinking on it, the way you do it is make Kurt and Ram super homophobic (more so than the original, where they’re already shown as homophobic for the set-up) and establish a kind of LGBTQ+ movement going on in Sherwood. We’ve seen that Kurt and Ram have open disdain for that, and then they when they’re…
Yeah, they’re supposed to be the Heathers. I mean, I knew this was going to be bad when this was first announced, but this is some shit casting.
In addition, one of the things going on in Heathers is them sexually exploiting themselves for what they see as status. They brag about being able to go to a frat party, where we later see H Chandler awkwardly blow a guy, and then get mad at Veronica for not having sex with a college guy. In one scene, McNamara and…
CORRECTION: I think I’m wrong, Dragonstone IS in the Crownlands. It’s Jon Hill. Why can’t I edit anymore?
KINJAAAAAAA
Only noble bastards that are formally acknowledged get a name. Commoners don’t get names, unacknowledged bastards (like Gendry) don’t get names.
The Targaryens were based out of the Crownlands though, so he would have been Jon Hill, not Jon Sand.
EDIT: Correction... even though Dragonstone sits at the mouth of Blackwater Bay, it seems to technically be considered part of the Riverlands. The crown prince ofat the time of the Targaryens would rule Dragonstone…
The former are genre elements, the latter are storytelling flaws. Fantasy shouldn’t be used as an excuse for bad storytelling.
Beyond the Wall was almost as bad as Dorne. Beyond the Wall had better acting and cinematography, but the plot coherence was somehow even worse than Dorne’s.
I’m pro Game of Thrones, and have disliked the past few seasons. In my opinion, the “anti-Game of Thrones” people are the moral crusaders who were never going to be on board anyway.
I’ve always had a very mixed relationship with this film. My parents both absolutely love it, and I appreciate it as well, but especially my mother’s love for it has always kind of rubbed me the wrong way. That being said, I think it’s a great movie for what it is.
To be completely fair, it’s told from the perspective of the slave owners. That’s likely the way many of them viewed the slaves. It’s disturbing how little regard they showed for the feelings of the slaves - you can read about people who genuinely regarded their slaves a s friends or even family, and who were…
They did kind of make that joke. Han even delivered it.
Guy 1: It’s another Death Star!
Guy 2: I wish that were true. THIS was the Death Star. And THIS... is Starkiller Base.
Han: So it’s bigger.
