Ah, ha, ha. I was reading some comments on a few sites about this trailer and yeah, they’re so emotional that the film looks so good or so annoyed that there’s no NEW footage showing up on demand that I’m chuckling a wee bit too much for my own good. Look, kids… it’s a Warner Bros. Pictures film. What does that mean? It means give it a month or so you you will be BURIED in trailers for this one to the point where some of you accuse the company of showing TOO much of this one. It’ll happen, mark my words. Well, at least I haven’t been hearing any rumblings about a new video game coming down the pike. Supes has never really done well when he flies solo…
Well, talk about a surprise ending to this week’s show. I kind of figured it would be a win or lose sword fight, but nope. Hmmm… I guess I now need to go find some some seat belts for the chair in the living room here, as it looks like things are about to get pretty damn bumpy for a few of the principals in next week’s episode. As I’ve said before, I don’t even get attached to any of these characters too much, as it’s basically the writers rolling their fates and we viewers sitting there getting our strings pulled. This arrangement… it works quite well, doesn’t it? Well, unless they kill off everyone in the last episode due to a meteorite crashing into the planet, that is…
OK, we get TWO TV ads in one day for this upcoming soon to be blockbuster? Hey, don’t blame me, blame Marvel for posting them so far apart. Anyway, what’s up with the oddball aspect ration? Sure, it looks awesome, but WordPress defaults these videos into such a tiny size that this will look like a Band-Aid in the post. Eh, I’m SURE you all know you can play this full screen so you can see what’s going on, right? Anyway, I wouldn’t mind finding out if anyone out there actually has a working Cinerama screen setup to show off, as I’d love to see some of those old films in that crazy wide view they ran in. I’ve only caught some stuff on TCM, but no TV out there can do the format justice…
One thing that’s going to get a lot of people into those theater seats is all those Iron Man suits zipping around like they’re coming off an assembly line. I can’t imagine this in real life, as all you’d see outside would be Fat Iron Man, Too Low Pants Iron Man, Homeless Iron Man, Slow Old Lady Iron Man (they fly in packs), Letting That Dog Poop On The Street And Not Cleaning It Up Iron Man and a few other annoying and impervious to damage Iron Man suits in action. Bleh. It’s the new Rascal (or Weasel, given that company’s legal woes of late). And THIS, dear reader, is WHY we have movies to watch. You get the hell away from real life for two hours at a time (not counting 20 minutes of trailers)…
Thankfully, the fine folks at HBO who get these season sets out KNOW that not everyone likes streaming (or CAN stream) shows they missed, has a DVR or hell, just doesn’t have HBO at home for whatever reason. So yes indeed, if that’s YOU and you’re not watching Season 3 just yet, here you go. Granted, everyone else is laughing at you at this moment, but not too loudly. You’ve seen Season 1 already and KNOW where the pointy end goes… Poke, poke. *Ouch!* Poke, poke, poke… *Ouch, ouch!!*… OK, OK – I wasn’t laughing!
OK, OK… that was a REALLY terrible (and way too obvious) pun (and only one of a few too many – collect them all!), but I couldn’t help myself. Hell, Sir Ben is practically twirling his mustache as he chews the scenery up and spits out the seeds. Granted, some of you will find this sort of villainy quite appealing (another pun!), but I can see some more of you thinking this guy and his wacky candy rings is really fruity (*zing!*). Of course, I’d bet if he WERE real and standing within eyeball contact, you’d be hard pressed to say that to his face. More likely than not, he’d freshly squeeze some juice from your melon with a few waves of his fingers. OK, let me shut up before the Pun-isher has to come after me (Bwaa-ha-ha!). Good Night, folks…
Ewwww. That already infamous “Men don’t need nipples” line and scene from the Season 3 premiere nearly sent a cup of hot tea flying into the air last night, fortunately, you could see it coming a mile away (hopefully). Still, yikes. If that’s the army Daenerys wants (and gets), what’s she going to do with them should she also gain the throne she desires and there are a few thousand left? Probably buy them some chairs so they can FINALLY sit down, ha ha. Hmmm? Of course, given the “feel no pain” way those guys work, it should be quite an epic battle that takes place.
Er… Well, as long as we don’t get shot after shot of nipple slicing (yuk)…
Anyway, I still haven’t gotten around to reading any of the books (and don’t really plan on it as like The Walking Dead, I know that there’s a GREAT deal of deviation and additions to the source material), so don’t tell me anything. I have a dragon under my bed and it knows your address. Or so it tells me. Hey, I just feed it whomever shows up ringing my doorbell unannounced (so there are a few cable TV salespeople not annoying others about needlessly expensive and some pompous proselytizers missing a few sheep from their flocks, methinks)…
And of course, these interviews are always hilarious to watch because of the dumb questions that get pitched at people who really can’t say much for any number of great reasons. Still, a little insight goes a long way, that’s for sure. I wonder what the motto of House Martin is these days? Hmmm… that’s a good question to ask, I bet (or not)…
Well, THAT premiere was… very… educational now, wasn’t it? It looks like the new season won’t disappoint at all, so it’ll be fun to see where it all goes from here. Uphill for some of the characters and downhill in terms of some of their fates, I’m supposing. Of course, that’s while we all watch the show, right? I thought so. Anyway, I think I need a shower now. All that tension is bad for the sweat glands and bladder (especially when the show starts up and you’ve forgotten to go. No commercials during programs on HBO, you know). See you next week, same Dragon time, same Dragon channel…
Now you’re just f*@King with us with an hour plus to go. Some are hanging out in bars for a while now, others are ditching their Easter hats in favor of some handmade get-ups straight out of the show and people like me are still flipping a flippin’ coin and trying to decide on The Walking Dead season finale or this first because we don’t have a DVR. I’m leaning heavily towards GoT, by the way, but I may change my mind just because I think I can. Eh, I’ll probably go with Game, as I’ve been pretty zombified all week and all these teasers and trailers for Thrones has me too piqued to pass up. Off to plant my butt in front of the TV a bit early. It’s going to be quite a night for beginnings and endings on a few fronts…
