James Hibberd from EW.com got the scoop – as he usually does – and supplied Game of Thrones fans with the first official poster for Season Three. Here it is: So, what are my thoughts on this year’s poster? Well, it’s pretty, uh, meh, to put it lightly. In reality, I’m actually very disappointed! Did HBO spend all it’s money on production? Is there nothing left to make a decent poster for Season Three? I guess so, cause this poster is in direwolf need of a makeover. I find it extremely boring and uninteresting. Sure, dragons are completely badass, but...

The recent reveal of the four deleted scenes which were among the “Dragon Eggs” hidden within the Game of Thrones Season 2 Blu-ray box set has sparked controversy within the fandom. The general outcry is one of frustration, as diehard fans of George R.R. Martin’s series of novels wonder why these scenes featuring characters from the books were left out, only to be replaced by scenes original to the HBO series, or featuring characters who had minor, or nonexistent [read: the vile and ubiquitous Ros], roles in the novels. Another faction of the fandom, however, finds the deleted scenes...

Gandolfini would have starred as Jack Stone, a downtrodden jailhouse attorney who frequents...

While most are clamoring to re-watch all their favorite scenes from last season, others will be keen to start hunting for those illusive “Dragon Eggs”. Included in these hidden gems are 4 deleted scenes from Season Two. Unfortunately, it wasn’t until I had a free weekend to hunt, scour, and sift through the hours of content that I finally found the dragon eggs myself. And I still didn’t find all of them. For those of you just...

On the latest episode of HBO’s girls Adam and Ray are forced to hop on a ferry and head over to Staten Island to return a stolen dog (it’s a long story, as always).  Ray, one of the Girls’ boys who is almost always in a foul mood, ends up dropping some derogatory (yet admittedly quite funny) statements about Staten Island and its residents.  Ken Paulsen of silive.com lays most of them out here: Staten Island dog owner is crazy: Adam stole the dog because a man — who turned out to be from Staten Island — left the dog leashed outside a coffee shop after...
