That's mad men.

Game of thrones is pretty much good but in an escapist, turn your brain off and just watch stupid poo poo, tits, and cool visual effects for an hour.

Anyone who gets really into this poo poo and actually reads the books are stupid

I wish you had been around to convince me of this before I started reading book 4

haha yeah dude mad men is the best tv show of our generation, mad men on AMC right next to walking dead. yeah dude I can definitely get behind that, mad men being a better show than true detective, six feet under, house of cards, GoT. rarely have I seen storytelling as good as mad men, such compelling characters too. wow yeah, mad men.

I heard Game of Thrones was originally supposed to be World of Warcraft: The HBO Show but HBO said Blizzard wanted too much money so they were like "gently caress it, let's talk to an old fat dying man, maybe he has some books or something i don't fuckin' know"

Actually an HBO executive said to his assistant "Offer a deal to that old fantasy writer with a beard, you know, that one, he deserves it", meaning Pratchett, but the PA was an idiot who liked TSOIAF, and the rest is history.

Yeah it's real, here are some other highlights:

quote:

She was sopping wet when he entered her. “drat you,” she said. “drat you drat you drat you.” He sucked her nipples till she cried out half in pain and half in pleasure. Her oval office became the world.

quote:

And suddenly his cock was out, jutting upward from his breeches like a fat pink mast.

quote:

"Ser Alliser Thorne walked from the room so stiffly it looked as though he had a dagger up his butt".

It's a meandering river of tedium with no goal. People have argued that it's like history, which doesn't have a plot structure either, but real history has real world relevance.
