OH GOD FINALLY IT’S A NEW GAME OF THRONES TEASER
Not a production video! Not a behind-the-scenes snippet! No, it’s an actual, real, honest-to-the-Old Gods promo for Game of Thrones season 2, and it is fucking fantastic. So many badasses, packed into a single minute. Better (if extremely brief) looks at Stannis and Melisandre. And Joffrey being an enormous twatwaffle. Man, that kid who plays Joffrey is so fantastically douchey it’s mind-blowing. How does he do it? I almost feel bad for the kid, because he’s so perfect as Joffrey he’s going to be typecast as a slimeball for the rest of his life. Plus, if I ever saw him on the street, I’d punch him right in his face. That’s how good of an actor he is! It’s actually a compliment that I want to cause him harm!
