re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

Crackpot theory: Ser Ilyn did not get his tongue removed for saying that Lord Tywin ran the Seven Kingdoms. Ser Ilyn discovered that Jaime and Cersei were actually Aerys bastard children. It would look much too suspicious if Aerys were to just kill him, so he said taking out his tongue was for saying that Lord Tywin ruled the Seven Kingdoms, despite the fact he had probably heard it a few times before from other men.

Ilyn seemed to get a kick out of Jaime telling him he was screwing his sister, and it was his own inside joke that he lost his tongue for. I think in the next novel Ilyn will find a way to tell Jaime of his true ancestry when he escapes Stoneheart. Ser Ilyn has served little purpose in the story, and I do think he'll serve a major role. I think I'm sold on Jaime and Cersei being Aerys' bastards. Jaime will find out about 1/3 of the way into WoW, and Cersei won't find out until seconds before her death when she is killed by Jaime, who already being a kinslayer, won't give a frick. In ADOS, Jaime will be revealed to be the third head of the dragon and one of the major saviors of Westeros, although he'll lose his life in the battle with them.

Plus the delicious irony on Tywin's grave that his only true born child was the mutilated dwarf he abused would be great.

He did chop off Ned Starks head.

But I do believe it's very possible that Jamie and Cercei are Aerys bastards. And I hope it's true. That irony would dance on Tywin's grave forever

Movie was CRAP but Kit was fine .

Glassman and her pregamed with Dornish wine.

Movie was terrible...just, awful. Not enough of Jon Snow's abs either.

You couldn't tell that would be the case just from the previews? I mean, I know you were going for Kit, but still.

I just hope Lord Snow picks his movies better in the future

Haven't decided if Aaron Paul's choice of Need for Speed was better or worse than Kit's choice of Pompeii.

I'm siding with Aaron Paul since in interviews I've seen him say he was holding out for movies he wanted to do..... He was holding out for a good role but caved to Need for Speed?!?

but if by some bizarre chance that I ever meet him I'm going to tell him he's no Russell Crowe or Gerard Butler when it comes to being a Roman/gladiator/etc. and that he needs to pick better roles.

psssh. No you wouldn't

I'd buy it if I didn't believe Aerys was batshit crazy enough to have someone's tongue cut out over less.

but there wasn't enough character building/dialogue at all

---

The entire first hour of a hour an 45 minute movie was spent exclusively on character building. Action/disaster movies aren't exactly known for their extensive dialogue scenes.

Sounds like you wanted a season of GoT in a 2 hour movie and you didn't get it so you are all pouty. Sober up toots.

Can't help it; I rarely go to the movies anymore and the quality of shows on TV is that much better than what comes out each week.

Movies are for action and spectacle (and big laughs). TV show are for storytelling and character building. The sooner you accept that, the more you enjoy each medium.
