Was talking of that pic. Even if they cut it into a movie, why dont they follow.the cut part, is what im saying.

Because that's not how adaptations work.

99% of the time, the story is changed to a degree to maximise profit or for whatever reason. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any adaptation that has stayed true to its source material. It is The way it works.

Strawman's argument.

Telling a good story has nothing to do with what I am saying. A "good story" is subjective (based on opinion).

I am just telling him why the stories cannot remain the same.

Mention one top novel or whatever in which they changed mediums and the story was the same, just mention one. This is how things are done.

That's why they write "based on the novel" in the credits scene.

You keep saying its how its done, have you seen LoTR have you read the books. Yeah some are hard, but you should try as much as possible not to stray away from the story. Afterall do you think GrrM would give them the rights too his books if he knew they would deviate so much. Do you think they said so themselves. You might say, but GrrM writes for the show, he's part of the writers, but check out his ssm on that. If it wasnt telling a good story from the start would you be so hooked ? You said yourself how some other shows suck on here, now why is that ?

It was their choice to stray. Saying they should have tried as much as possible is implying that they had no choice.

Haha. You really think he had no idea they were gonna tell it differently? Lol. It's a contract, if he didn't want them to tell it differently, he would have told them not to.

Not sure the point you are trying to make here because I am still hooked

Not sure what this has to do with anything


Am not sure why this is even an argument.

A quote from the above article..(the article was cited by Wikipedia so don't think it's some jobless blogger that wrote it)

Adapting novels
A novel usually takes place inside the character's head. A play deals with the language of dramatic action. A screenplay deals with externals, with details - the ticking of a clock, a child playing in an empty street, a car turning the corner. Up to 25% of all feature films have been literary adaptations.
After seeing the film version of a well-known novel, most of us have commented that the book was better, or different in some part. Adapting a book into a screenplay means to change one (book) into another (screenplay), not to superimpose one onto the other.
A novel usually deals with the internal life of someone, the character's thoughts, feelings, emotions, and memories occurring within the mindscape of dramatic action. In a novel you can write the same scene in a sentence, a paragraph, a page, or chapter, describing the internal dialogue, the thoughts, feelings, and impressions of the character.

One of my favourite conversations was between Braun and Tyron, while he was in prison.
Braun: But what`ll you do?
Tyron: I suppose I`ll have to kill the mountain myself. Won't that make a great song?
Braun: I hope to hear them sing it one day

Why did they have to stray. What required them straying. They had a choice, but they decided to stray.



Haha. You really think he had no idea they were gonna tell it differently? Lol.

Ofcourse he'll act professional about the whole thing.



Not sure the point you are trying to make here because I am still hooked[/quote]Cause they we're telling a good story. If the story was crap we wouldnt watch it, that's my point, for you said " You do realise that the point of the show is to make money and sell more books right? "



Not sure what this has to do with anything[/quote]Its the story, not to make money, that just comes. Might be the point of some shows is to make money.

You're missing out if you're looking for shows that are unpredictable like GoT.

@bolded 1) that's how it works in the industry.
Adapting a book into a screenplay means to change one (book) into another (screenplay), not to superimpose one onto the other.

@bolded 2) you really have no idea how contracts work do you? Or copyright laws. Or literature. Let me just briefly say that if he didn't want them to change anything, he would have told them not to. It's his work and he owns all the rights to it.

@bolded 3)lol. Don't be in denial man, the main reason is to make money. Telling a good story just happens to be the way to do it.

@bolded 4) haha. So you think HBO, D& D, GrrM made all this happen primarily to tell a good story? Lol. It's about the money first.


Anyway, I don't feel like arguing this anymore so I am just going to quote myself again.

OK my review

Game of thrones season 4, was a cliffhanger all through. I've denied myself a lot to pronounce the movie the best I've seen but now is not the time to.

It started with the visit of Prince Oberyn to kings landing for king Joffrey's wedding ceremony to the tyrell.

Joffrey died during his own wedding ceremony and thanks to everyone that must-have watched the episode before I do for not spoiling the death scenario for me, it was fun watching him fall but the path he fell through is what I won't wish for my enemies. Tyrion been the suspect wasn't what I hoped for.

And I must commend "whoever it may concern". The whole quote that was used to prove Tyrion guilty of the crime (regicide) was what he actually said but not the actual sense. So, I say kudos

"Today is not the day I day" - Prince Oberyn Martell
___________

"Are you going to fight that" - His wife
"No, I'm going to kill that" - Prince Oberyn Martell.

What a positive confession, but Broon already said something "I'll be a bloody fool if he didn't frightened me, he's freakish big and freakish strong, and quicker than you expect from a man of that size. Listen, maybe I could take him, dance around until he's so tired of hacking at me, he dropped his sword, get him off his feet somehow,
But one misstep.............
*snap his fingers*
Then I'm DEAD".

Prince Oberyn ought to have seen he's got two stones to kill one bird, instead of using one to kill one bird, he decided to divide the bird into two in order to use the two stones which led to his demise.

Ygritte on the other hand, I never planned to see you die that soon, until that moment the arrow was shot at you and I'll side you on that "Jon snow knew Nothing" lol

My review, a lot happened I can't put into words but season 4 was da bomb!

^ Your review is like a year late though.

Gbola5:
He expected more
from the world and its people than
southerners did. then, when he
"failed" to adapt to the moral abyss
he found at KL, that wasn't
stupidity, that was him trying to
lead them out of the darkness by
example. He ran out of steam is all.
The court of KL were all
degenerates who'd grown eyes on
the back of their heads to watch out
for each other because they were
all backstabbers. Ned hadn't yet
degenerated like that, so he was
more highly evolved than their lower
form of life, but they were more
specialized to succeed in their
chosen environment.
Not stupidity. A victim of bad
circumstances. Yeah. blame the victim, have tea with LF.

N dt was his mistake ryt dere.
D same mistake Lord Jon Snow made dt ultimately cost him his life.
(Seems d saying "a fruit does nt fall far frm it's tree" can b aptly applied in dis scenario)

I f you make a show OF going against the times, flaunting your unconventional ideas and unorthodox ways, people will think that you only want attention and that you look down upon them.

Ned was flawed. But lots of people overexaggerate the consequences of his actions. The story is to complex to blame one person for all has happened, but Varys and LF CAN take a great share of the blame.
What d'you mean by "raised a christian but not anymore" ? And don't talk to me about Paul, that unjustifiable hypocrite.

Cant wait to see the imp.

How delightful
Well, we can expect to be 'lost' in episodes 5 and 6 then.

wen will season 6 come out na

eniolaamoda:

April 2016. You can chill with 'How To Get Away With Murder' 'Power' 'Dominion' and 'House Of Cards' till then. Those series are fantastic too.

[quote author=landinfo post=37691720][/quote]Heh !
