And Condal is far from the first to pitch a D&E show. It's been talked about since the OS became a hit.

---

He was the primary that pitched it to HBO. With GRRM's blessing. Because he's been friends with GRRM for several years.

And again, when they listen to George, the show is good. When they don't, it's not.

---

Again, easy solution is not have your friends write for you when you have the TV experience to do it yourself.

I’m guessing that Alys has the cure to Aemon’s poison

My guess as well.

Especially given her response when he stumbled in.

Anyone have success stories to share? And I could use some words of encouragement for those of you that have gone thru a divorce. TIA

It's been awhile since I app dated, but I met my fiance on Match (and he was divorced). If you're not looking to just hook up, it felt like being a paid app that folks took it a little more seriously. We were both in our late 30s dating, so Tinder felt too young. And Hinge and Bumble weren't really a thing yet (I have had friends our age have success on Hinge).

OKCupid was harrowing at best. :lol:

Eh, it had its high moments and its low.

Sunfyre shows back up. Ulf’s betrayal is in full swing. Helena’s cheese is sliding off the cracker.

The only difference for Mysaria is she’s fricking Rhanerya instead of Daemon. She sewed the seed against Daemon in the book as well (with Nettles). It’ll be satisfying if she meets the same end as in the books.

There are no characters to care about. They’ve ruined every single one of them.

Thought you had quit this thread? :lol:

Can’t trust a whore or a drunk.

Maybe stuff that's in the books?

---

Everything in the books is a second hand retelling in the fashion of a Maester telling the history with multiple unreliable narrators.

You’re acting like it’s a poor adaptation of POV chapters.

Didn't put any of this in his book.

---

Outside of the occasional overheard/retold dialogue, you couldn’t have a show without “between the lines” additions to the story.

And if GRRM wanted differently he should’ve maybe been more involved writing for the show. He’s the king of turning shite over to other writers then complaining how it’s done. :dunno:

I don't remember anyone saying it was the best horror movie in the last 20 years.

---

I’ve seen it said a lot on social media.

quote:

---

It was the best actress in a horror movie the last 20 years though.

---

I like Inde Navarrette. She’s very good and hope she takes off. But the last 20 years includes Toni Collette (Hereditary), Samara Weaving (Ready or Not), Mia Goth, Anya Taylor-Joy, etc.

I use some combination of pen and paper as well as my Kindle app (and Goodreads).

Curious if anyone here uses any different apps or has preference for something else?

You actually think she would still marry you if SHE won the lottery?

Yes, he would. :lol:

I've been to hundreds of shows, junior, what's the issue? Saw Public Enemy and Guns N' Roses the other day. Got Extreme, Tesla and Motley Crue next month, Megadeth and Iron Maiden in September, RUSH in November.

I saw them in early 00s with Chevelle at Jillian’s.

I’m surprised they never played Louder Than Life or Bourbon and Beyond here.

Out of Africa is anything but stuffy and boring. It has themes of personal freedom, the cost of relationships, war, the success and failure of colonization, the value and limitations of indigenous tribes, and two great characters at its core who were very real and triumphant.

Karen Blixen- Isak Dineson the author. A woman very much ahead of her time and unafraid of being herself and forging a life in a world very foreign to her.

Denys Finch Hatton= A man's man. An American original who lived life on his own terms and forged a path through a mysterious and modernizing world.

Both these people placed a premium on the individual and the cost of giving up that premium for love and relationship.

Sidney Pollack directed an achingly beautiful testament to the people and times of this particular age that was appearing and disappearing around them at the same time.

Beautiful film.

Finally someone who agrees with me that Out of Africa is a good movie.

And it was peak Robert Redford.
