    HBO's A game of thrones




    I'm actually looking forward to it. Not quite sure on the cast, but several of them seem to be well chose.

    Was really annoyed at GRRM for that. He put a post up on his not-a-blog saying that there would be a preview at 8:45 before the season opener of True Blood. We sat through 14m30s of True Blood promos to see that twenty second clip that showed almost nothing.

    But yeah, we ordered HBO because of it*, so looking forward to seeing how it goes.

    I met GRRM and asked him whether Prince Valiant was an influence. He said
    not. I liked his books, but how can he not respect Harold Foster??

    Anyway, looking forward to the film/series, whatever that is.

    That has to be one of the shittiest promos ever.
