WSC was a very good movie.  To me, it was more about relationships instead of sports.

It looks like we've gotten off subject again.  Back to Game of Thrones.

Definitely worth a viewing katharine

*off topic comment . . . I like his legs.*

As for GoT!  Reading the comments on the WiC blog is interesting.  They are currently off on a real fantasy ride, envisioning a decade long run for a program that hasn't even gotten the green-light for a single season.  Bless their hearts . . . but wow!  There are going to be some seriously disappointed people, even if they do buy a season.

An incredibly long discussion about the picture of the guy in the supposed uniform, ranging from a scholarly 'go with historical accuracy' to 'but I want it to be the way I imagined!' to 'it'll probably be blurry, anyway'.

I do agree with a couple of posters, who allowed that HBO should release some kind of press pics pretty soon.  Some of these folks are foaming at the mouth and that means a much greater chance that something will be leaked.  Better to control the situation rather than let it take the upper hand.

As for SB . . . I wonder which part of his costume he'll be taking home from this one?  Can't really see him wearing chainmail and leather in Belsize Park (not in public, anyway . . .)

Eddard does wear a couple velvet tunics once he goes down to King's Landing and I think his Winterfell feast dress was a bit dressier, but they are all dark, muted colours.

Still not seeing it, Sable - Sean as Ned in a velvet tunic = :flirt: Sean popping into the offy in a velvet tunic = 

He may not pay too much attention to his clothes at times, but he does have taste (buried in there, somewhere).  I'm thinking he probably asked for some other 'extra' this time!

[Sable899]

Yeah, he probably opted for Guinness on tap in his trailer this time.

I had a great vision there for a moment Lighty, of Sean picking his way through THE extras rather than asking for 'another' extra. I must read slower!!

I suspect that's not a perk that's written into the contract . . .

[Sylvene]

Nope.  Can't write in "First pick of the young blonde bimbos with big boobs" into a contract.

Now, now - we've had our fun.  We are told by his friends that he is not a womanizer, despite what we'd like to think.  I think Sable's closer to correct and his perk has more to do with a Guinness fountain . . . or guaranteed time off to attend the Blades matches (they lost again today - we've now lost four in a row and two in a row at the Lane.  But they really tried today.  We need Monty back . . . :(  )

Snatched from a blog posting by "WinterisComing" (the blog owner, I assume?) - a link to some photos of the direwolf and surrounding area where they filmed the scene in which the wolf cubs are found.  I guess, given the fake dead wolf.

Kind of interesting.  It's a very large fake dead wolf, so I guess if this series actually runs, they'll be doing quite a bit of CGI.

*Thank you to http://winter-is-coming.blogspot.com/.

**Sable, what is the format for embedding a link in a word or phrase, please?

[Sylvene]

Very nice, lighty.  Thanks for sharing what you found.  The photos were interesting.  Snow comes on pallets.  Who'd have thunk it?  :P

[Sylvene]

Execution scene.  Ack... wonder who's  :P

Execution scene.  Ack... wonder who's  :P

*SPOILER*    Highlight to see . . .


It's the first scene in the book, actually - well, after a sort of prologue scene.  A traitor/coward type is executed by Lord Eddard, who comments to his sons (who are in attendance) that if a leader is unwilling to carry out a death sentence himself, then he should consider whether the person really deserves to die.  (As an opponent of the death penalty, I appreciate the sentiment).

They find the dead wolf after that.

Well, since you posted... I went on a scan of the sites.  Here's a report of the Eason's book signing with GRRM & members of the cast. The girls really look the part!  Especially the girl playing Sansa.
