Paid Members JohnnyChimpo Posted July 1, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted July 1, 2014 Ned's reaction to Robert mentioning Jon's mother is open to interpretation, I think. Ned clearly didn't want to talk about it, which could feed into it being a cover story and Ned wasn't one comfortable with lying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Justice Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 So if the theory is that Jon isn't Ned's bastard son, why did Cat have a dislike for Jon? Surely Ned would rather she know the truth than let her think he'd shagged someone else and spawned an offspring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JohnnyChimpo Posted July 1, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted July 1, 2014 To protect Jon, for reasons we are clearly not privy to at the moment. The theory is based around the fact that there is clearly something more to Jon's mother than just some random whore who had Ned's bastard. And with the keys players in the know are no longer around to tell the story, the reveal is probably going to come in slightly more dramatic fashion, which is rife for speculation.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted January 30, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted January 30, 2015 Season 5 trailer leaked from the IMAX screenings in the US. Not the greatest quality but very watchable. Looks fucking awesome of course. And they look to have doubled the budget. Â https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMKhdDlKHNE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Who claps after a trailer? Is it just an American thing or do audiences applaud films in this country as well? I've never seen it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 30, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 30, 2015 Crazy superfans at IMAX previews, that's who! Â People are always bit more amped at advance previews, though, even over here. Or at least they were for the couple I've been to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 30, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 30, 2015 Really? That's bizarre! Â That's even more strange that plane clappers. At least on the plane the people who did the work can actually hear you. Who are you even clapping for in the cinema?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted January 30, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Americans will also clap at big moments during the film. I saw Return Of The King in New York and when that blonde bird kills the Witch King everyone started clapping and cheering. Â The worst time though was actually in the UKÂ when I saw the last Harry Potter film in Croydon and the ginger mum kills Helena Bonham Carter and there was this really awkward moment when a few people started clapping, there was a pause and then everyone else started clapping and then abruptly stopped a few seconds later looking embarrassed. I had no idea what was going on. Edited January 30, 2015 by LaGoosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 30, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 30, 2015 When I saw Stardust, my friend and I audibly cheered when Ricky Gervais got killed. That's the closest I've got! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted January 30, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) I've been to a few films where there's been applause at the end, but thankfully never experienced it (or cheering, whooping, booing etc) during a film. It is my understanding that it happens all the time in America, which sounds awful. Pretty sure a lot of the recent articles about the reception to American Sniper mention it. Is it not a thing in Australia as well? Â Edit: I tell a lie, there was cheering during Die Hard when we saw it a few Christmasses ago, when McClane and Powell hug it out.

Mr_Danger Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Americans cheering on Bradley Cooper shooting people in American Sniper sounds like the most stereotypical American thing ever. Do they boo in cinemas as well? I get dirty looks for heartily chuckling during comedy films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 30, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) American Sniper sounds like such an awful film from everything I've heard. One of my friends compared it to an American version of the propaganda film they are screening in Inglorious Basterds after he saw it, which make me laugh.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted January 30, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2015 Americans cheering on Bradley Cooper shooting people in American Sniper sounds like the most stereotypical American thing ever. Do they boo in cinemas as well? I get dirty looks for heartily chuckling during comedy films. I'm sure I've heard about them booing villains, but I can't think of where or what films specifically. Possibly Star Wars, but I may be confusing that with something else.  On the American Sniper front, Matt Taibbi wrote an interesting piece about it for Rolling Stone, link here: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/american-sniper-is-almost-too-dumb-to-criticize-20150121?page=2  The bit in spoilers refers to the cheering, a standing ovation no less, but it mentions what I assume is a major plot point hence the caution:   When hunky Bradley Cooper's Kyle character subsequently takes out Mustafa with Skywalkerian long-distance panache – "Aim small, hit small," he whispers, prior to executing an impossible mile-plus shot – even the audiences in the liberal-ass Jersey City theater where I watched the movie stood up and cheered. I can only imagine the response this scene scored in Soldier of Fortune country.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 30, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Nice review. Thanks. I'm going to stop discussing American Sniper in the Game of Thrones thread now! Edited January 30, 2015 by Chest Rockwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
