Ice & Fire

Movies generally ruin books. At least for me and the books I love. The only way I ever thought it would work is if they could hook some wires up to my brain and project the images and sounds from my imagination up onto the screen. Then I would go see that movie. They are working on making a mini series out of my all time favorite series, A Song of Ice and Fire, on HBO. I have made my decision. I will not be watching, I will not be looking at production photos or casting shots. I will not be watching trailers, I will not even be listening with my eyes closed. The moment I do any of those things, it would mean killing the images I have in my head, and that, for me, would be a disaster. Poor Harry Potter has nearly done it in for me, Eragon, even though I didn't see the movie, has still been atrocious, and I can't read "Legolas" without seeing Orlando Bloom's golden locks. Please don't let them take the images of King's Landing, Tyrion, and The Wall as well.
