You might not agree with the decisions but he's 100% right about adaptation. You DO have to do what's best for the movie.

Not necessarily, although some interpretations have gone that route. The “game” in the original title refers to game as in what’s being hunted, not what’s being played. The idea is that humans are the most dangerous game, because they’re capable of complex thought.

So, judging from the title alone, I assume this is a game show about hunting people for sport?

I really think they should have found a stopping point to end around s5 and called the series “part one.” Then in 10 years recast the whole thing (which would be a huge event itself) and make a part two series giving the conclusion the time it needed. People might actually care about the prequels in the mean time,…

And they will get away with it because this country is a single party country now. The GQP runs everything and there is no one to stop them.

Frankly I don’t think D&D should be left in charge of anything by themselves again. I mean, they waterboarded an actress for *10 hours.*

Sure it could be written better but it’s not as horrifically confusing as the original angry comment made it out to be.

I’d be like, ‘Yeah, sure,’ for anything they threw at me. I’ll just cry about it in the bathroom later, whatever, you won’t know.”

Have some fucking pride in what you’re paid to do.

Jesus. Just listening to that slap story and what a tool. I didn’t think much of Benioff before, but now I’m convinced he’s an absolute moron. I hope Mamoa was thinking about how Benioff went all frat-boy stupid on him during that Season 1 sex scene with every slap he landed.

I wonder if she was put in charge as a sacrificial lamb- often something that big companies do (specifically with women and POC for some reason that I don’t understand) when they’re in a lot of trouble. If so, then good on her for getting out in front of it.

Gets job in August, leaves by December. “It’s because things are going almost TOO well here!”, she stated, sweating very heavily for some reason.

Can you imagine how dehumanizing those trashy Cinemax After Dark and trashy low budget 80s teen sex comedy sets must have been?

So basically, she saw the mess the company is, she quickly realized they weren’t going to let her fix it in any meaningful way, and so she decided to book it.

Put this kicker in the goddamned Smithsonian already.

This energy has inspired me to step out and explore how I can do more to have games and diversity intersect, and hopefully make a broader industry impact that will benefit Blizzard (and other studios) as well.

Yeah, I think intimacy coordinators are a wonderful role that should be the gold standard going forward, but this article had a bad faith approach in its portrayal of GOT as “ignoring” hiring one. The position essentially didn’t exist during filming of the show until maybe the last season, at which point it didn’t…

Well see what happened is that she shot sex scenes for the show, and she spoke about her experience with it to someone who was writing a book.

It takes some guts to see Jason Momoa nude and decide making fun of him is the correct course of action. No smarts, but lots of guts.

In all seriousness, the mad hyperaccelerated rush to shoot through what sounds like what actually needed seasons to develop the plot points instead being Season 8 and six episodes from what I hear just might have been symptomatic of even many more serious problems behind the scenes.
