Game of Thrones...

Gonna be sweet.



I have been rewatching HBO's the wire recently - what a masterpiece. HBO knows how to make great TV. If the amount of advertising and hype HBO is putting into this project is any indication of their dedication, this will be huge. The trailers themselves are extremely impressive and I can't wait for this to drop on Apr 17th.

Now if only GRRM would finish the next book...

Game of Thrones and HBO

I mentioned the upcoming A Game of Thrones TV series on HBO before.  If you haven't read the books, please do so.  Either way, check it out next spring.  The project is a full go, currently in production, and looks amazing.




Also, if you haven't seen Boardwalk Empire, which premiered last Sun night on HBO - do so.  Past products like The Wire, Sopranos and Deadwood, coupled with HBOs current commitment to developing new cutting edge shows will keep me coming back again and again.

A Game of Thrones

Despite today's recently improved weather, things have been rather cold and rainy around here, even for October. I haven't been out in the field for a few reasons, and laziness is among them.

I am a bit of a closet bookworm, and this often gets worse during the winter. One of my favorite authors, George RR Martin, has a wonderful series for anyone interested in science fiction or fantasy. It is very adult oriented, but the books are gripping reads. Don't just ask me, HBO is just starting the production of the pilot episode. It should be a wonderful addition to the likes of Sopranos, Rome and Deadwood if it gets picked up. The casting seems to be all done, and looks to be perfect.

So if you are also looking for a good book to pick up as the weather cools down, check out A Game of Thrones, the first in A Song of Ice and Fire. If you don't like to read much, make sure to check it out on HBO or DVD, hopefully...
