I'm disappointed with the general assessment by Hollywood that says that reboots are the best thing ever. Reboot bad movies, not good ones...

That's a good idea. Reboot badly done movies with great ideas instead of cashing in on great movies with a mediocre imitation. That would be more interesting to me if this was a common thing.
The problem is, there is a demographic of fans for popular movies to cash in on, not to mention basic brand recognition. It would be a bigger task to get people to go see a remake of a movie no one liked or heard of the first time. From a financial standpoint, it makes more sense to have half the work done for you by copying an already loved movie.
It's a fucking shame because in terms of quality, there have been several low-key remakes that surpassed their predecessor's.
Woah. Deja Vu.

Oh yeah I know that it's totally a financial thing. Hollywood could care less about making good movies - they make movies that make them money, period. It's just a little sad that this is the way it is
I'm in the middle of watching it, Kung Fury. It's on Youtube in full. I'm only about 10 minutes in, but it is absolutely awesome!

Way to waste 10 minutes to show Cersei's saggy tits. Still no Lady Stoneheart and I still believe.
At least there is some good to it, maybe females will finally realize they look like slaves and junkies with such ridiculuos haricuts. Nah, they probably wont and I still will find great joy in humiliating them.

good stuff they've made a lot of changes from the books just last couple of episodes, but i think it's fine. just as long as they are doing stuff with a purpose i'm fine with it

Yeah I'm with you. I think that George Martin even told the writers how it would end, and about the biggest plot points etc. - so we will still get a good story even if he is gonna DIE!!!

Really? This is the first season I am disappointed with. They went from doing book 3 in two seasons to ignoring and mostly re-writing book 4 and 5 in one season...it feels rushed and very forced at times, it's like they only care about shocking the audience now instead of telling a good story. I feel like the quality has dropped significantly now that George R. R. Martin is no longer involved in the show to the same extent.

I have not watched this season at all but as usual the biggest spoilers came crawling out of the corners of the internet. Weirdly enough I don't really mind anymore, I don't have much desire to watch Game of Thrones. Even last season I think I was pushing myself a little bit just to watch it, and the more I hear about the latest season the less I care about the show in general. It's an amazingly well made show but I don't have any attachment to it at all, and I think part of that is what Jonas just mentioned. It seems to cater more towards shocking moments than being a well written inter-weaving story. I don't mean the deaths specifically, but the entire show is basically high budget shock bait with awesome set design and performances. I keep getting the nagging feeling I'm watching a brutal soap opera.
It's still an awesome series but the more I think about it, the more it slips down my top shows list. I just got bored of it I guess.

You just put into words how I feel about The Sopranos
But yeah even though I still love the show, I do have to agree - it's definitely gone downhill in quality
