Jul. 30th, 2014 10:17 pm1. Had to look up Tony Curran who plays Datak Tarr in Defiance. Because I've seen him before - turns out he played Vincent Van Gough on Doctor Who, amongst other character roles. I adore the actor.
2. Apparently there's controversy over whether or not Arianne Martell has been cast or cut from the tv version of GOT. Okay that I understand. She's actually a pivotal character and a strong female character. I'd rather they cut the Iron Born and Quentyn Martell (who is annoying).
The book version has too many characters, as previously stated. And too much plot, also previously stated ad nauseum in various places. But it does have some of the best written female characters that I've seen.
3. Sharknado 2
"Sharks on the Subway"
Hee.
Also the statue of Liberty's head is rolling down the street taking people out.
I can hear the pitch meeting now:
Tornadoes? Dull and been done.
I know lets add Sharks!
That was also done.
Let's put it in New York City.
And call it "Sharknado!"
The Today Show:
Matt: It's tornadoes with -
Weather guy: sharkna-.
Matt: Tornados with sharks.
Weather Guy: They had this in Los Angeles, it's called a "sharknado". A rare occurrence where a water spout pulls up sea life, but with a sharknado - it's even more deadly, because it pulls up sharks.
Matt: You need to avoid going near one at all costs. (As if you'd want to go near a twister to begin with - I mean, hello, twisters take your head off.)
Weather guy: This is a twister with teeth.
They even have a song. "La, la, la..sharknado, go, go, go, go...sharknado.."
And to up the ante, because you know having water spout twisters with sharks is just not enough - they cut off the Statue of Liberty's head and have it bash into things like a huge bowling ball. The films always have a grizzled old guy/famous tv actor - this round it's Judd Hirsch as a cab driver - who takes our team of heros from place to place to fight sharknado and save each other.
The weather report:
"There could two inches of sharks coming down from the sky per hour. So you need to be really careful of flooding on Broadway. "
