Game of Thrones Thread

Money isn't always spent on makeup, CGI and sets. I don't know what contracts are or what GRRM is getting. Executives themselves are part of the equation, who knows which parachutes they got.

When Jodorovky was filming Dune, he wanted Pablo Picasso (yeah, that one) to play the emperor. Pablo demanded 1million/hour. So they shot 6min scene with him and writers had to accommodate that into script somehow. The moral is that very often the $$$ are driving the script more than creativity of the writers.

So far, Cersei has been wearing the same fucking dress all season long, I feel so sad that I wanted to lend her some shit. Last episode makeup was pathetic, everyone had one (1, uno, odin) token hurt on their face. Dragons are not new work either, most investment into it is already done. I am not seeing all the sheckels here. I'm trying to put monetary value on each episode and I don't see where the money went. You can film half of that episode with a bunch of weekend larpers, no joke. Fucking feast room was just fucking sad.

I don't know, may be in the last episode nakid GRRM rides on gold plated Obama and fucks Trump in ass while grabbing pussy. I just haven't seen the same splendor or dress, makeup or new CGI as in some previous seasons. How the fuck this short season is so expensive, I don't know, not even if everyone is snorting cocaine with diamonds all day long.

Jodorovsky wanted notorious hackfraud Salvador Dalí, not Picasso, for the role of the Emperor of the Known Universe. Dalí himself demanded that his screentine shouldn't be longer than six minutes.

Also, not even one scene of that script was filmed.

Gladly
Having been ordered to leave Dune, Rabban is drunk with anger, and his Harkonnen army are massacring men, women and children in Arrakeen.

Rabban sees the Guild ship carrying the Atreides approaching and spits and swears at it.

At the Palace beggars look longingly through the fence at the fountain and palm grove. Rabban and his soldiers suddenly appear and blow up the fountain killing several bystanders.

Rabban grabs an old man and asks him how much water the 20 palm trees need - enough water for 100 men every day.

Rabban then has the old man and other survivors bound against the trees before they are set alight.

Entering the Palace Rabban orders every servant killed, Rabban himself slaughtering children with glee.

Finally Rabban orders ever Harkonnen soldier into the hall, and once it is full they are commanded to defecate!

The defecating scene is mentioned by the Jodorowsky's Dune documentary director Frank Pavich in an interview on Indiewire

'In order to insult Duke Leto, David Carradine, Rabban the Beast gets his army, the Algerian army, to pull down their pants in front of the palace and shit. So there's going to be a scene of 2,000 extras defecating at once. So here's Charlotte Rampling, she agrees to meet with Jodo, she gets the script, she reads the script, and she says, "I can't be in a movie where there's 2,000 extras defecating on screen!" '

On the Japanese Blu-ray of the Jodorowsky's Dune documentary there is a deleted scene in which Jodorowsky talks about this scene, unfortunately it is in Spanish with Japanese subtitles!

In the official Jodorowsky's Dune Script from a Ulule crowd funding campaign for Jodorowsky's "Psychomagic, an art that heals" movie, the defecating scene has been removed, persumably cut from an early draft.

Apparently this scene didn't make it into the Moebius storyboards, but as there are no publicly available images of the boards for this section of the script it is sadly not possible to know if Rabban's rampage is included in any fashion.

In the next part the Atreides arrive on Dune - although there is no mention of if they appreciated Rabban's gift of moisture!

Oh yeah and Rabban, Arch Shitter of Dune, would have looked like this while he was sludging out turd coils on the mosaics

Reminder that Charlotte Rampling once starred in a movie where she fucked a chimpanzee. Oh, but for this you've got standards.

Honestly its a fair assertion that the "hot chick fucked by ape" fetishist demographic is a fair bit larger than the "hair algerian man scat" fetishist demographic

Not to side with D&D however, the reality of the situation is that no matter what happens, there is going to be a large chunk of the fandom (and I'm using "fandom" in the loosest sense of the word) that is going to be pissed off.

- If Jon wins and Dany dies - expect all the usual woke rags to scream sexism that she wasn't able to get the throne, and how the show was sexist since day one, etc. etc.
- If Dany wins and Jons dies - expect a HUGE chunk of the hardcore fandom to be incredibly pissed off about how the show has devolved into an R-rated Disney princess movie.
- If neither Jon or Dany get the throne - expect a lot of the normies to take to social media to decry about how the show didn't play out like every other fantasy show/movie ever has.
- If Jon and Dany decide to rule as King and Queen - Normies will like it, but the woke rags will scream how Dany's role is lessened as she's not being the sole ruler, and expect the hardcore fanbase to be pissed that some characters actually managed to work things out without murdering each other.

The ending is going to piss off people irregardless. One could hope they could at least make an ending that was at least appropriate and fitting the source material, but since the main baddie got "nothing personnel, kid'd", Team Stark is now the Boxcar Children in fur coats, and Cersei is now the Forgotten Disney Evil Queen, I'm not holding my breath.

I can't speak for normies, but..

I would be satisfied with any ending that reflects the natural consequences of the characters' actions and decisions over the course of the series.

I would not be satisfied with any ending filled with asspulls and nonsensical twists because the drooling idiots who wrote the series want to subvert expectations and shock people.

I got bored during season 3 or 4, but the fact that none of my friends who still enjoy the show, to varying degrees, haven't even tried to show me a scene they enjoyed from this season to pique my interest says everything I need to know. They haven't even mentioned the show :story:. I'm going to make sure to watch the series finally with some of them.
