If Winter is coming as slow as the next "Game of Thrones Book" I would still be wearing my Hawaiian shirt and speedo's


George R.R. Martin has posted one chapter of his next installment of the Game of Thrones series on his website. It was six years between books the last time and who knows how long we are going to have to wait for the new book called "The Winds of Winter." With the HBO series going into the second season it looks like he will be even more distracted. And we will be waiting again.

At least SM Stirling and Eric Flint are fair with us. They give us free chapters and snippets to wet our appetite but they publish pretty much one book a year. Martin has got to be kidding me.

Somebody said in reference to this long wait between books "George Martin is not your bitch."

Well he might not be my bitch but he definitely is a bitch.

Andy Levy thinks he's gotten himself into trouble (like the "Lost" show, I guess) and doesn't know how to get out.

Here I thought that Game of Thrones was what Titus played and described.

Nick,

It is! The great Peter Dinklage, star of "Station Agent" and both versions of "Death at a Funeral".

I found The Station Agent to be a quietly compelling movie. Peter Dinklage has my respect as an actor and as a person.

Peter Dinklage is the perfect embodiment of an actor in a role that I have ever seen. He was born to play the role of Tyron Lannister.

He is beyond superb. He deserves an Oscar, Emmy and a Tony for his portrayal. It is simply perfect.

No kidding.

I had about given up that this bastard was ever going to do the next installment....until finally he came out with the A Dance With Dragons book.

'Bout time. I was afraid that he was just tired of doing the series and quit.

Haven't seen the series on HBO since we are stil PO'd at HBO for canceling Deadwood..won't give them a dime. Probably will wait until it comes out on DVD.

You will enjoy the TV series. It is as close to the books as any TV adaptation will ever get.

It is simply great.
