HBO's Game of Thrones Season 1

[tinytim]

Do you mean the same effect I notice since a few years, when I look headlong into a mirrow?

[Blue Jay]

I never look at myself in a full length mirror anymore. AARRGGH!!!!

[Mike]

Me neither, I'm not a masochist.

[Sable899]

I don't know about anyone else, but I have noticed that being out in cold weather makes me puffier than usual also.  If I remember correctly, they were filming the outdoor pilot scenes during a cold spell.  So age/gravity/cold winds all together would certainly account for much of the puffiness.

[Blue Jay]

I don't think I'm puffier as such, but my hair goes flatter, because the air is drier and I wear hats. Then my face looks fuller.

[lighty]

I think we should just be happy he hasn't 'bulldogged' in a major way . . . you know - that unfortunate thing that happens to some men where the combination of looser jowls, bulging jaw muscle, wobblier chin and throat and sagging cheeks makes them look a bit like a bulldog.

Example:

Michael Douglas:


Tom Selleck:


Val Kilmer:

Russel Crowe:



Oh, BF?  So sorry for the imagery.  I'm still trying to recover from an inadvertent viewing of my face in a mirror that was flat on a table.  One glance definitely ruled out - forever - even the slightest consideration of EVER having 'woman on top' sex again - because that is precisely the angle that the gent in question sees you from . . . GAH.

[Blue Jay]

Actually Tom Selleck has covered it with a bit of stubble so he still looks pretty good. 

[lighty]

He's okay - I haven't been able to really look at him since he came out as a total right-wing tool.  Not to mention the whole 'my wife knows her place' crap.

Hell, Sean want's his wife (wives) at home, but he doesn't come out and make disparaging remarks about them.

I loved Selleck when he was doing "Magnum PI" and I still think "Quigley Down Under" is a great feel-good film and he's totally hot in it . . . but I wouldn't toss him a life preserver if he was going down for the third time.

[lasue]

I'm still confused. I read the first book ( not Ned's death scene ) and there is no mentionin the story about Ned's looks or
weight changing. So my thought is that they want Sean to look this different. Why??? I'm not sure. If his health is  so bad
why keep him as Ned ? With all the money their sending on this series they could have found anther actor, but they went
with Sean. I 'm extreme glad that they kept HIM , but why does he look so different????

lasue,
I wouldn't worry about it - it looks like the only scene he appears puffy in is the first one - and if they think it's a problem, they'll use their digital magic to slim him down for the show.

What we're seeing are screen caps, taken from not great quality video.  I suspect he really doesn't look terribly puffy in the finished product.

I had no idea about that. Yikes ..... I actually never knew anything about him, I just liked watching Magnum because it was a fun show and that was about it. This rather spoiled it.

[Mike]

Tom Selleck was good in coma.

Sean wants his wives at home? What did I miss? Oh, once he said that he likes it when his wife stays at home. But meanwhile even he knows that this doesn't work.

Well, I'm just suffering terminal foot-in-mouth, aren't I?  I'm sorry, BJ - I didn't mean to spoil him for you; please remember that all of that is just my opinion.  If it helps, he didn't seem to get that way until he married the second time - and it was one of those "met her on the set, dumped the first wife for her" marriages.  Still it seems to work for them.  As for his politics . . . well, I'm hovering way off to the left and he lives firmly on the right.  I'm not going to agree with most of his positions.

[Blue Jay]

Same here! Besides, there was nothing to spoil. Just liked Magnum LOL

He's said similar on more than one occasion, but then he marries actresses who want to work, well, two of them did at least.  He's typical of men who had stay at home moms.  They have a need to have a little wifey at home.  They just don't know how to actually accomplish that.

In the book Ned's wife Catelyn wants him to go with King Robert and become his HAND. '' I will refuse him'', Ned said as he turned
back to her. His eye's were haunted, his voice thick with doubt. Catelyn sat up in the bed. ''You cannot. You must not!!!!!
Page 59. So both people are a little different in the TV series than the book.
