George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones

[Pearl@32]

I don't know whether to post this here or not, but it pertains to a certain feud George R.R. Martin and Damon Lindelof have had.

Feud! Lost Dissed by Game of Thrones Author, and Damon Lindelof Is Tweeting Mad

"You got yourself a feud, motherf--ker."

Thus was the gauntlet thrown Monday by Lost show runner Damon Lindelof to epic fantasy novelist George R.R. Martin, whose Game of Thrones has been adapted by HBO for a new TV series, premiering April 17.

So what got Lindelof so riled that his "therapist just hit the jackpot"?

Referring to an interview Martin gave with the New Yorker as "George's lament," Lindelof responded to comments made by the best-selling author, who said he was terrified he might "do a Lost" and "f--k up" the conclusion of his ongoing Fire and Ice series.

"I don't take issue with his opinion, I take issue with the fact that he coined 'Pulling a Lost' as empirically 'f--king up the ending,'" said Lindelof in another tweet.

Lindelof continued the dispute with a series of tongue-in-cheek "salvos," including a jab at Martin's scraggly beard ("Not to mention, he agreed to say nice things if I sent him Mr. Friendly's beard, which I did") and slow writing process ("I've just been informed George is working on his feud response. I'll have it in FIVE YEARS! #NOYOUDINT").

Although there is no evidence that Martin is crafting any kind of response (or even has a Twitter account, for that matter), he nevertheless does perpetuate the feud (in Lindelof's eyes) via a Time interview posted yesterday, which quotes more complaints by Martin—himself a former TV writer—about Lost:

"When I reached the end and they hadn't pulled it altogether, in fact, they left a big turd on my doorstep," says the author bluntly, "I was pretty upset...it was about the second episode of Lost, I said, 'Oh, they're all dead.' They're all dead. That's what it would be in a half-hour Rod Sterling Twilight Zone, in 1958. And they took what? How many seasons to get to the point where they were all dead?"

This prompted Lindelof's "final thoughts" on the matter. First: "They weren't dead the whole time."

And second? "1997 called. It wants its web design back."

Now that's what you call a satisfying ending.

Methinks he dost protest too much, because Martin makes a point about if Lost were a Twilight Zone episode, they would have all been dead at the end of 30 minutes.

I also get the feeling that Martin would "pull a Jack Palance" and tell him, "I crap bigger than you."

Also, Lindelof had no problem dissing January Jones: "Emma Frost's THREE mutant powers: Telepathy, Transformation to Solid Diamond and last but not least, Sucking at Acting."

Get over it Lindelof. Lost was good, but not perfect. Not everyone liked the ending. Suck it up in another life brother.

I liken the Oceanic passengers to the football team in Beetlejuice:

Very Dumb Football Player: [the football players have re-entered Juno's office] Coach?
Juno: What?
Very Dumb Football Player: [looking disturbed] I don't think we survived that crash.
Juno: [sarcastically] How did you guess?

His harping on it is what is so telling.

I was willing to maybe go see Cowboys & Aliens, but now I think the nail's in the coffin, seeing as he wrote the screenplay. Daniel Craig is the ONLY good thing about that film.

I did not know that. Shame B&tB looks extremely dated.

Never really watched it .
Which is a shame really - cause it had lots of stuff that I'd normally appreciate .
( and not just Ms Hamilton )

OK , first ... 

But the risk here is that Mr Martin pops his clogs before he finishes .

That would give me a sad

Interesting .
Mr Lindelof is now pissing at Januray Jones over X-Men or something ....

Lindelof went to his Twitter page the other day and went off on Jones -- who plays Emma Frost in "X-Men: First Class" ... writing, "Emma Frost's THREE mutant powers: Telepathy, Transformation to Solid Diamond and last but not least, Sucking at Acting."

Just last month, Zach Galifianakis went after Jones in public -- claiming she was a total A-hole to him at a party the first time they met.

Have to agree with Damon. January Jones cannot act. She has something of a rack, but beyond that, she's not that attractive.

Fargo and Lindelof separated at birth?
