    My wife's claim to fame is that she got John Snow beaten up in the McDonald's on the Strand when he was attempting to protect her honour. Judging by what she told me about his fighting skills, he doesn't stand a chance against the Wildlings.

    aka - the people who frequent McDonalds!?!? ;)

    I've read LOTR approx 15 times since I was 12, Hobbit perhaps 4 times, Silmarillion 3 or 4 times. I never get tired, and the latest round of re-reading was to prep myself for the films. The films are extremely disappointing, the Hobbit especially so (cartoon-like Disney-esque childish unbelieveable invention). Nothing in any of the Tolkien films remotely matches how I imagine it when I read it.
    Game of Thrones seems completely different, although I haven't read the books yet. It's completely believable, I'm immersed and wish the Tolkien films had been made in the same style, i.e. very little (but just enough) CGI, and no continuous split-second coincidences where everyone just survives every 10 minutes or so for hours. Rant over.
    Yep, I quite like George RR Martin's attitude to some of the main characters...
    For those that have seen the Tyrion/Jamie chat just before the trial, this seems apt

    Hah, lots of people die in lotr - massive game changing and lineage stoppers too and don't ignore that the extremely rare event of a high elf giving up her immortality...
    I started reading first book then thought - nah I want to see how they invisioned it in the series - and you do realise they were written to be makeable as a film/series hence why it's easier to visualise on screen than lotr.
