What movie/s are you watching?

The adaptation of Game of Thrones isn't too bad really. There are one or two miscast actors (isn't there always?) and the storyline isn't faithful to the books, but it does say it's 'based on' I think. It's a well made series though and the opening titles, both music and graphics are great.

I honestly think the cast they got for these characters are AMAZING! Especially the children (Is Arya PERFECT, or what?). Funny enough, the only character I think was absolutely horrible, was the one they used to sell the show: Sean Bean as Ned Stark. Don't get me wrong... I love LOTR and I love him as Boromir.. and I even love tons of other roles he's in. He just wasn't Ned Stark to me.

The opening music was stuck in my head for so long I ended up figuring out how to play it on Piano. Such a great theme song!

more importantly... it gets more people reading...

This. THIS!

So many people at my work have now read the series due to the HBO show.. and, in the world of MMO-gaming, I have seen a lot more character names from the SOIAF realm (Hey, I even ran across a Fitz and a FitzChivalry on my SWTOR server a few weeks ago!).. and most of them became fans because of HBO.

I love this.
