Game of Thrones fans, I need your opinion! - Off-topic

The DVD of Game of Thrones season 1 will be release this coming week and I'm planning on ordering it. However, I still can't decide whether to read it or watch it first. So in your experience and opinion, which should I do first?
I love reading and watching so it's really a difficult decision.

Watch, because reading takes so much time and watching is more fun.

i did the show first then i had to read it bc i liked it so much

Just ordered it. I just saw that it has an upcoming season 2 just for the Game of Thrones.

Cant wait for season 2 its gona be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read it while watching. For the most part I was always 1 chapter ahead of the latest episode that aired. I found reading the book better.

I thoroughly enjoyed Season 1, however the last episode was a bit shocking, and that's because I haven't read it.
Looking forward to S2.

Watch first!!
I think this will help you. if it does please THANK me.

Just finished watching the first season, and it was unbelievably a good show.
SPOILER ALERT!
I can't believe Ned Stark died. I like the character and the actor was really good.

Just started watching this show a couple days ago. My bro has the 1st season pirated peruvian style
sick show, too bad we cant watch the second one yet though

Show is awesome but like anything made from a book, you get so much more detail and story out of the book. I finished the books before the show came out and can say they are great reads and the show follows them pretty close.

I might buy the books soon. It's ridiculous that the show is only available in HBO.

I'm definitely going to finish watching the entire show series before I read the books. I want everything to be a surprise, and I like having to piece things together because of things they are forced to only hint at due to time constraints.
One hour a week is not enough =p

Watch the Season 1 First.
Read the book 1 and 2
Watch Season 2
Read the book 3 and 4
I did like that

Fast Five Movie was Awesome!

Just got done watching Fast Five. Good movie lots of nice cars. I really liked it it was a great installment to the franchise.
Funny you must say that. I just read WSJ's review of the movie today and they tore it to pieces.

Yea I can see that. I try not to read critics reviews but ill read like regular people reviews. For some reasons critics expect more from a movie. And just the average Joe just wants to be entertained.
I'm sure it was terrible.
I'm also sure you wouldn't know a good movie if it came up and slapped you in the face saying, "I'm, honestly and truly, a good movie."

I know the differences between good movies and bad. You see everybody is different everybody has different things that they like in movies. Fast five was good enough to live up to the hype of the franchise.
Its people like you that judge everything without every even seeing it. Its pathetic. You didn't even see it. But I had a good mixture of funny and action.
IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH.
Several great movies
Men of honor
Million dollar baby
The fighter
And you know what they didn't have to slap me in the face at all.
Sorry but not every movie out will have that caliber.
fast five movie was awesome
so funny
I'm deciding if I'll watch this now or watch it later together with Thor.
I love century theaters, I can watch 2 movies in a row. lol

I seen it like last week. Pretty good I thought. The part where the black guy walked in to the police station with the badge, lmfao!
Also the chick on the motorbike is HOTTTT.
The whole thing about a 'good movie' I couldn't care less about how it's acted out or whatever, I'm there to be entertained, and entertained I was.
I've read reviews of loads of films saying they're crap but I've got and seen them and thought they were quite good.
Like Pirates of the Caribbean, I've seen good reviews on that but I thought all of the movies where boring and crap.
im going to watch the movie in the weekend with my friends. i really expect much from it!
It was pretty good, the gf wanted to see it, I didn't want to mostly because most of the movies sucked, but this one was alright, but needed way more racing and car's, and more girls haha.
It was more of a 'story'.
Movie was good. Watched it over the weekend.
It was definitely an entertaining movie. Worth the ticket price.
Saw it last weekend. How busy was it where u were? (dead quiet for me)

I thought it was all right..
It's certainly moved more towards being an "action" movie more so than a car movie as it was in the previous instalments.
Did anyone stay after the credits? Lettys not dead she jacking military convoys

I'm not a fan of sequals and this being the 5th installment, I'm kind of over it. I think I'll wait for it to come out on dvd and maybe then I'll see it.

GAME OF THRONES fans here?

My new favorite show, and no, haven't read the books yet, so please keep spoilers to what we've seen over 9 episodes, with the finale this Sunday.
Anyway, thought I'd start off with a bang. If you know who died in the last episode, witness the greatest fanboy rage display of all time and the coining of one or more new memes/catchprases.
Warning! Foul, racial language, and also IMO painfully funny:

XD
Who's looking forward to Sunday?
I usually watch the latest episode on Monday night, along with Treme. It's my second favourite night of the week after Friday!
Game of Thrones didn't really grab me at first but i'm certainly hooked now. I'm sure as good as it is that it loses a lot in translation from the books though.
Game of thrones +1
Hell yeah luv that show
Ok, I have downloaded almost every single episode, but I was too stuck at studying to watch it. After seeing all these reviews, I definitely have to watch.
And for the benefits of out-dated people like me, no spoilers please.

Great Series. HBO kills the networks. True Blood, Curb Your Enthusiasm............
By far my favorite show of all time. After the season finale tonight I will be picking up the books and hopefully finish them before the second season starts.
Noooooo. No spoilers here, but all I'ma say is, they do a good job of gainin' hate for the Lannisters. Grrr, go Stark!
THE KING IN THE NORTH!
Wow. What a finale. Can we time travel to 2012 Spring already please? I am tempted to say much more but for now I'll leave it at this: must. read. books. now.
I haven't been this amped for a new season since 24.
Best death of the season was definitely the golden crown.
My stepdad just bought me the 4-book paperback box set for a present. He's so cool. Now I'm racing people to be ready for book 5 which gets released in a few weeks. Damn, I hope it doesn't ruin watching the series..."you die, and you, and you.." ;-)
Love this show!! so sad the season just ended, cant believe we have to wait a year for season 2

My girlfriend dragged me to The Vow last night for valentines day. The most predictable moronic movie I think I've ever seen (this is likely because I tend to stray away from any movie that describes the entire film in the first release trailer).
Haha.. boo
Channing Tatum is terrible haha.

It's a movie, fiction, entertainment. If you want to watch real stuff then watch the news or a documentary.
The stupiest movies i've ever seen are:
- Titanic 2 (No, i'm not kidding)
- 10.5
- Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star
- All About Steve
- Year One

I'd have to say any of the Pokemon movies, Paranormal Activity, Cube and Cube 2 (cube zero wasn't bad) Street Fighter The Movie, pretty much any kind of political documentary, that star trek movie where they time traveled to the 80's and had to save the whales *rollseyes, Bring it on 1 and 2.....
Ill add more when they come to mind.
Gummo was made by the same director of kids. However kids has a good lesson. Gummo doesn't. Or I haven't figured it out.

I actually enjoyed Machete a lot.

really bad
"kindergarten cop" ( actually almost every movie with A.S ), "ninja", "resident evil 2" and since, non cartoon movies with talking animals, first "twilight" ( I puked after 10 minutes ), "Avatar - the last air bender" ( the trailer was really bad and after seeing less then 10 minutes I turned the movie off ), "step up" movies, "the expendables", movies about video games ( never work ), every zombie movie of the late years ( they made so many it is not interesting or scary anymore ), all "spy kids" movies, "paranormal activity" ( not going to watch 2 and 3 ), "happy feet", "Alvin and the Chipmunks", "Hitman", "S.W.A.T".
I think that is enough for now.
A couple more:
- The Room
- G-Force
- Eight Legged Freaks
- Carny
- Dr. Dolittle
- Dead Man Running
- Skyline
- Meet Dave

IGN spammed beta codes, which was a horrible idea in my opinion. And I'm excited too, I want something to take me away from World of Warcraft that's free to play.

I think it's going to do better than most other MMOs that have come out lately mainly because they seem to be taking their time and listening to the community on what we wanted.
I was very disappointed in Star Wars
As was I...Star Wars was nothing that I had hoped for it to be. :/

Shutting the stream down for now, I might turn it back on later tonight. If not, it'll be back on when the gw2 beta starts.

I like Piper's new "hardened" look. It's her poker-face eyes.
I'm on episode 4 also, but S2E1 was really cool. Anyone with Netflix not watching this show is missing out!

Kindly refrain from placing this anywhere other than the dedicated TV threads. Such are the rules.
If we had a thread for every show that came out, we'd need a bigger server. Or five.
