as much of a shithead Stephen King is and how he botched the final book in the Dark Tower series, he was very succesful in keeping that story alive in people's minds by having references to it in his other books. difference is King isnt a lazy fuck, he works his ass off writing even to this day, whether its good or bad. its mostly bad, but at least he keeps on chugging.

How about those movies he botched. Wonder how much input he had-- regardless hes a shithead for taking the quick paycheck.

And while he admits it was a mistake, Howard does note that it was one that helped the movie get made, seeing as the studio may not have wanted the R-rated version of what was eventually a $66 million film version of The Dark Tower’s first, and so far only, cinematic installment.

Ron Howard says it was a hardline requirement to get the movie funded. R was never on the table.

King is a fuckwit now. i dont have the new books, but i heard he pulled a george lucas and altered some of his earlier books. as i said he is mostly a bad writer, but nobody can ever say he wasnt prolific. Martin is just lazy. i rather have had a predictable 6th book than no book at at all. there is no way he can write a book nobody expects and everyone will love. better to go with first instincts and keep doing what you doing. not nothing.

seriously his schtick is starting to sound like the evil mom in Flowers In The Attic. the kids spend their entire childhood locked up in the attic waiting for the grandfather to die so they could leave and the mom visits every few months or less and gushes on and on about what a wonderful time she's having with a new boyfriend and lots of money out in the world. after a while the kids dont even give a fuck if she ever comes back and the daughter straight up calls her out on her fucking shit. "bitch, when can we leave? how long are you keeping us prisoner here!?" the mom has the nerve to act insulted saying, "you kids are ungrateful brats, all the things i have done for you, i bring you presents every time i visit. HOW DARE YOU!!!!?" thats GRRM right now. hi guys i might finish a chapter this week and close up one of the few dozen POV characters, maybe two! isnt that nice? i fucking hope he ends up how the mother did in the movie adaption of Flowers In The Attic.

maybe, but its more fitting for the way GRRM is treating his fans. i assume he still has fans. people who havent waited over a decade for his next book are maybe still fans of his.

‘Game of Thrones’ Prequel About Aegon’s Conquest Eyed at HBO (EXCLUSIVE)

A new "Game of Thrones" prequel about Aegon I Targaryen's conquest of Westeros is being actively discussed at HBO, Variety has learned from sources

A new “Game of Thrones” prequel about Aegon I Targaryen’s conquest of Westeros is being actively discussed at HBO, Variety has learned exclusively from sources.
As the project is in its very early stages, no writer is currently attached, though sources say that the search is underway as HBO is keen to move forward and get it into development. Sources also say that there may be a feature component to the project, i.e. HBO and Warner Bros. would produce a feature film that would then lead into the potential series, though plans remain in flux at present.
The show would tell the story of how Aegon and his sister-wives, Visenya and Rhaenys, used their army and their three dragons to conquer six of the seven kingdoms on Westeros with the exception of Dorne. In doing so, Aegon I became the first king of Westeros, the first to sit on the Iron Throne, and the founder of the Targaryen Dynasty. Those events took place approximately 300 years prior to the events of “Game of Thrones.”

I always feel like their bullet point approach to these shows is why they are, or are going to, fail (in comparison to GOT).

I'm watching the original series again, have not watched it since it first aired and damn its such a good show. At least the first 5 seasons.

Nothing in the last few years compares to this series.

I'd probably put Dark and Chernobyl (but only 1 season makes it unfair) above GoT s1-5 but I wouldn't quibble with anyone who puts GoT above them.

The problem is GoT s8 is just so bad it retroactively really ruins the entire show.

Yea, The Imp was my favorite character until they stopped giving a fuck he caught a bad case of The Stupids. The existence of Season 8 makes it hard to justify getting people to watch.

HBO should have given subscribers the number of episodes expected, whether D&D wanted to do it or not.

Bloys dropped the ball. They knew they had bad intentions for season 8 writing-wise, were talking to Disney at the time, and didn't want to do any real further work on GoT. It went from 2-3 more seasons of budget beyond Season 8, to not even Season 8 happening. That's where HBO fucked up.

The real magic of Season 8 is that it's so bad it distracts people from how bad Seasons 6 and 7 were.
