Jack Gleeson is not a king — he just plays one on TV. In reality, the 21-year-old Irish actor best known for his role as King Joffrey Baratheon on HBO's Game of Thrones despises worship, particularly of the celebrity variety.
Tired of waiting until the Spring to get your fill of Game of Thrones, the softcore porno/drama on HBO? Then perhaps you'd be interested in Game of Bones, the just-released porno spoof that probably features only slightly more boob.
I'm assuming this dude never saw Game of Thrones, because otherwise he probably wouldn't be challenging Dothraki warlord Jason Momoa to a game of slaps.
Bad Lip Reading is practically an Internet institution, so you'd think they'd be phoning it in by now.
If you woke up this morning thinking "today will be the day I finally see Peter Dinklage working a rainbow hula-hoop on the dance floor of a Canadian gay bar," you have weirdly specific goals. But you're also correct.
If there is one thing the epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire — and, by direct extension, HBO's Game of Thrones — is known for even among the most casual fans, it's George R. R. Martin's maddening penchant for eliminating even the most innocent and beloved of characters without a moment's notice.
If you maintain a cordial to friendly relationship with any creepy nerds on the Internet, you know that many people are freaking out about an episode of Game of Thrones that aired on Sunday, in which many things happened. The most shocking thing that happened—the thing that people saw happen with their own two eyes and still cannot believe—is that Will Champion, the drummer from Coldplay, had a small cameo in the episode.
Spoiler alert.
Today, we are thinking about inconsistent regional accent use in the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones.
Earlier today, some media outlets published a wackadoo rumor that Facebook co-founder and real life Justin Timberlake Sean Parker was planning to marry his fiancée in a medieval, Game of Thrones-themed, costume-mandatory ceremony this summer.
British actor Clive Mantle, best known stateside for playing Greatjon Umber on HBO's Game of Thrones, was brutally attacked by two men outside a hotel early Sunday morning in Newcastle, England. The incident occurred after the six-foot, five-inch actor asked fellow guests at a Travelodge to keep the noise down. The two rambunctious guests disagreed with Mantle and, rather than quieting down, decided instead to bite the actor's ear off.
The walls rot like flesh. A man in an engraved triangular iron helmet is the protagonist's guardian-slash-executioner. He manually operates a carousel where people suspended by chains through their pierced bodies are the horses. A princess party in a mall led by a creepy clown disintegrates to snarling children with faces painted like cats feasting on raw, probably human meat. A spider configuration of heads and arms that look like they came out of the manufacturing plant in Björk's "All is Full of Love" video swiftly attacks.
There's nothing more American than comparing a vice-presidential candidate's physical appearance to a children's cartoon character. And Paul Ryan's just got one of those faces that makes everyone wonder "who does he remind me of?" Sometimes the similarities are obvious and sometimes they require picturing a former child actor copulating with a small, carnivorous rodent, but they're all right, every last one of them.
Just think: Without the Internet, this video of a cat named Arya meowing the music from Game of Thrones' title sequence might never have existed.
Last night's Game of Thrones Season 2 finale was technically dénouement after last week's pyroclimax, but it actually felt full of life — it was a ramping up instead of a tapering off. For example, Daenerys, who was given little more to do this season than wander around aimlessly, at last has direction and mounting power. And more importantly: dragons. Dragons that get her out of trouble, evoke the nonstop adorable-creature parade that was '80s pop culture and show up just in time to leave us wanting more. Again.
