He's my favourite in that show, I think. Such an interesting character and damn but Dinklage holds a screen.

He is by far the best character in the books. Dinklage just nails it. Best character on television ever.

He's great in the Station Agent and Living in Oblivion, too.

The Station Agent! Thankyou! I was trying to think of the name of that film yesterday when I was out walking with Mum. Then forgot I'd wanted to know and never googled it.


Havent come across Living in Oblivion yet.

Living in Oblivion was a huge cult hit with nearly everyone in the film industry. My buddies and I were all saying, "Yep, remember that time on..." "Oh God, that is SO true"

You've got to download it, you'll never find it.

Netflix has it, though I don't know what that means about its availability in the UK. Frankly I'm stunned I'd never heard of it before, but it's in our queue now. At first I thought you were referring to the horrible low-budget movie Oblivion. I don't recommend that one though, it's just genuinely bad.

I watch GOT last night. WTF? The show is just dragging out the story. Lots of scene changes with no fucking forward motion in the plot. Getting a bit annoyed.

I've also been filling-in with Downton Abbey. I am enjoying that. I like Elizabeth McGovern.

George needs to stop messing around writing episodes. We need the last two books of the series!

GRR Martin became over possessed and self important author after the popularity of the first three Ice and Fire books. Its too evident if you follow up the blogs or the news of related contents. Its not that his writing quality has declined. Even though he bores you to death with tapestry/food/sex descriptions in his latest "stand-still" books, the literature and writing style still never lags.
What I feel is that Martin has this title working wonders for him (and not un-deserving so), so he doesn't wanna his golden geese let go off that easily. I mean had the plot done enough is 'A Feast for Crows' and 'A Dance with Dragons', a prudent author could have rolled it up in next book. But no! Here is what Martin has to say (quoted from wiki):

Quote:
"Three years from [2011] when I'm sitting on 1,800 pages of manuscript with no end in sight, who the hell knows".
Displeased with the provisional title A Time for Wolves for the final volume, Martin ultimately announced A Dream of Spring as the title for the seventh book in 2006. Martin is firm about ending the series with the seventh novel "until I decide not to be firm", leaving open the possibility of an eighth book to finish the series
