![]() That Eunuch reminds me of a few different people I've known.
That shifty MoFo who stands for nothing will be around right until the end when someone who stands for something finishes it off. I think The Stark's have an edge over the Lanister's because they have a bastard son guarding the wall... and he knows the ins and outs of The White Riders. The Lanister dwarf will be around till the last dog dies. He's a great charchter. The blonde haired dragon lady is going to be an absolute menace. |

I hope you're right about Tyrion- he's one of my favorite characters, too. I'm glad to see the actress who played Anne Boleyn in The Tudors showing up in Season Two. I thought The Tudors was a crap show, when all was said and done, but the first two seasons, when she was in it, were fun.

I admire people who have the patience to read a book from start to finish with a story that involved. I could never do it. |

Come to think of it, Luck isn't any more complex than Game of Thrones, but I guess complexity is easier to take when there are swords and a lot of nekkid people.

Fun show, for sure. And has inspired a new term, "sexposition"- in which large amounts of otherwise boring background information is disseminated while attractive people are having sex.

I enjoy watching Luck...but it's so badly handcuffed by the time period it's based in. Base Luck in the late 1800's -- make the Dustin Hoffman charachter Plunger Walton... you will have so many great angles and charchters of the time to work with. It couldn't possibly fail. You'd have much better angles at every turn. You'd lose the Escalante charchter (obviously the best one on Luck) -- but his type of role could be replaced by someone like former slave Brown Dick. Brown Dick's Wiki page: ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_D._Brown ) Brown Dick won the Belmont as a jockey in 1870, he won the Kentucky Derby as a trainer in 1877, and was the leading trainer at Churchill Downs in 1871 and 1872. You'd have the whole race thing with some black jockeys and trainers. Charchters based on people like John Morrissey, Charles Reed, Pittsburgh Phil, and the butcher Dwyer Brothers would be obvious. |

Can't you just get a cheaper racetrack to let you film a few actual races and use them? The racing scences are always terrible in every horse racing production. They're better in Luck than in any horse racing movie...and they're still pretty bad. Why not just find a racetrack that will let you film races on the track. Put those cameras on the jockeys helmets and take as many flashy camera angles as you can for each race. Hell, even film the trial races at EVD that so many soon to be first-time-starters in the state of LA compete in. If you pay the connections a few hundred bucks to wear saddle towels and silks I'm sure they'd be happy to. After you have 100 races or so in the bank...pick the cuts from the most useful ones. If you want to add anything to an actual racing scene ... go make the silks, go buy a similar looking horse, and add on to it. Making an entire horse race from scratch is nuts and the end-result is always laughable. |
