Arya Stark is one of the most beloved characters on Game of Thrones and it’s not hard to see why people love her so much. From the very beginning, Arya has shown she is willing to fight against tradition and forge her own path. That path led her to become one of the most badass people in Westeros and even killing the Night King. However, like most people in Game of Thrones, Arya is not perfect....
Game of Thrones ends with a new King’s small council - here’s who’s sat at the most important table of Westeros. The Game of Thrones finale surprised many by making Bran Stark the new King of Westeros (but only six kingdoms, as Sansa has made the North independent). Like any good King, Bran’s first order of business was to make a new small council. Right back to the start of the show, the King’s council has been one of the most important groups of people, led by the Hand of the King and dealing with the actual ruling of the kingdom....
HBO’s The Last Watch documentary chronicles the production of Game of Thrones season 8, and it reveals quite a bit about the final season. Directed by Jeanie Finlay, the documentary highlights the main production in Belfast, Ireland, which had a budget of approximately $15 million per hour (according to one of the featured subjects, production designer Deborah Riley). However, The Last Watch is less about the costs of making a grandiose show such as Game of Thrones and more about the people who worked tirelessly behind the scenes....

Friends first aired back in 1994 and has since brought some of the most relatable, lovable characters on TV to life. Over a decade after the series concluded, the cast of this beloved sitcoms remains popular and talked-about to this day. Joey Tribbiani is undoubtedly one of the most iconic characters that ever came out of the show. Maybe the fame and love for this character weren’t enough to make his own spinoff a success, but the Joey is adored to this day, regardless....
Rachel might have taken the major step of being able to walk away from her family inheritance to start a new life on her own with her friends, but that doesn’t mean she totally changes her personality. There are many moments throughout the series where Rachel slips back into her past. Whether it’s by the way she acts, what she says, or things that she buys, Rachel often catches herself slipping into her materialistic past....
Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has been cast in FX’s new drama series Gone Hollywood. Coster-Waldau’s acting resume stretches back to the 1990s when he got his start in movies in his native Denmark. Coster-Waldau then made the jump to Hollywood, with early roles in Black Hawk Down, Wimbledon and Kingdom of Heaven. But Coster-Waldau of course received the biggest break of his career when he landed the role of Jaime Lannister on HBO’s epic fantasy series Game of Thrones....
Gamemaker Valve Software, known for its online game publishing site Steam and game titles like Half-Life, Counter-Strike and Portal, is turning over to the public for free the tools it uses to create its 3D games. Having noticed that many gamers get as much enjoyment out of modifying games as they do playing them, Valve said Wednesday it had decided to give players all the same resources the company uses so anyone can create original games and animated movies....
There are a lot of significant siblings in the Game of Thrones universe, like the Starks, the Lannisters, and the Tyrells. Their relationships might be varying levels of dysfunctional – looking at you, Jaime and Cersei – but no matter what, they have each other’s backs amidst the chaos of battles and ever-changing alliances. Two notable exceptions to that rule? Sandor and Gregor Clegane, otherwise known as the Hound and the Mountain....
It feels like Game of Thrones only just returned, but thanks to a shorter season 7 we already have to say goodbye. Still, it certainly wasn’t boring. The finale episode saw some explosive revelations, several twists and turns, and a final action sequence to send the season off in style. For those who had trouble keeping track, these were the biggest and most important moments of the finale episode. Cersei Lannister agreed to help Jon and Daenerys fight the White Walkers, but later revealed she was lying....
The Garmin Vivomove Sport doesn’t have a 30-day battery life, but charging it once a week is fine with me. It’s a rather small watch with a diameter of 40 mm, and there are no buttons to press. People with smaller wrists and those who like light watches will love the Vivomove Sport. It’s also quite affordable at just $179.99. Surprisingly, the small touchscreen OLED display is more useful and capable than I anticipated, and it is essential to supporting the Garmin ecosystem....
The “men on a mission” movie gets a modern facelift with Triple Frontier. Directed by J.C. Chandor (All is Lost), this action/adventure story follows a squad of hardened soldiers who strike out for themselves and set out to rob a South American drug kingpin. The squad of soldiers are played by some of the hunkiest men in Hollywood: Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Garrett Hedlund, Charlie Hunnam, and Pedro Pascal are a veritable mountain of machismo, and the film makes a grand showing of balancing the emotional journey of these characters with a non-stop barrage of action, adventure, and white-knuckle tension....
When it comes to creating a critically or financially successful movie, filmmakers and actors alike will often employ a variety of different gimmicks to differentiate their particular work from the rest of the pack. And one somewhat common way of trying to make a movie more unique and appealing is to employ one actor to play more than one role in a particular film. But of course, this is a gag that can either work out very well or very poorly, depending on the actor and movie....
There are fewer things in life more powerful than a good pep talk. A handful of articulate words strung together like fairy lights have the power to illuminate the path we’d be missing on our own. While we may tune into TV for bloody sword fights and steamy love affairs, every now and then comes a character so wise, so in tune with the human experience, the viewer finds themselves just as inspired as the other characters....
Hit sitcom Friends was a ratings juggernaut and had a seminal impact on pop culture throughout its decade of being on the air. What made the show so consistently watchable was the excellent writing as well as the chemistry between the cast. One of the most popular characters on the show was Joey, the extremely handsome, often extremely broke but always extremely helpful and loyal friend who dreamed of becoming a movie star....
Tom Holland’s Fright Night is one of the most beloved horror films to come out of the ‘80s, but reception might have been different if the movie went with its original ending. Tom Holland is still an important name in horror, but during the 1980s he was an especially hot commodity and behind properties like Child’s Play, Psycho II, and of course, Fright Night. Tom Holland has a certain style to all of his movies, but Fright Night feels the most accomplished in many ways....
The team at Frostbite, the gaming engine behind many popular console titles and more recent mobile games, today published a blog post showing off a tech demo of the graphically demanding Battlefield 4 console game running on an iPad. The company previously showed off what the Frostbite engine was capable of with the Battlefield 4 Commander app and the Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare tech demo it showed off at WWDC, but the Battlefield 4 tech demo was made possible thanks to some big graphics improvements courtesy of Apple’s new Metal graphics API....
Disney’s next animated feature film is Frozen 2, a sequel to the Mouse House’s most successful cartoon ever. Directed by original filmmakers Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck (based on a script by Lee and Allison Schroeder), Frozen 2 will see the return of sisters Elsa (Idina Menzel) and Anna (Kristen Bell), as well as Kristoff (Jonathan Groff) and snowman Olaf (Josh Gad). Disney has been very, very quiet on story details for Frozen 2, but expect that all to change as its 2019 release date approaches....
