If you don’t like the TV series Game of Thrones, well, what the heck are you doing here anyway? Perhaps you would enjoy another site? I’m sure you haven’t seen all the cat videos yet.
For the rest of you (with taste), it’s almost time. Almost time for Game of Thrones to return for a new season on HBO. And yes, we’re pretty excited.
As you would expect, HBO has been building up massive hype for the new season with a series of trailers, the first of which dropped in January. Now, the network has released its fourth and final trailer for the upcoming season. And yes, we’ve got it for you.
The Game of Thrones season 4 premiere is called “Two Swords” and will air on April 6 at 9/8C. Check out the trailer after the break.

In case you haven’t been watching, we need to alert you to the fact that HBO’s True Detective is a great show. But you can’t really be surprised, it is HBO after all. They have some other great shows you may have heard of like The Sopranos or Game of Thrones.
But if you really haven’t been watching, here’s a bit of info about the show:
True Detective is written by Nic Pizzolatto and directed by Cary Fukunaga. It centers on two detectives, Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) and Martin Hart (Woody Harrelson), whose lives collide and entwine during a seventeen-year hunt for a serial killer in Louisiana. The investigation of a bizarre murder in 1995 is framed and interlaced with testimony from the detectives in 2012, when the case has been reopened.
In truth, that description doesn’t really do the show justice. It’s way more complicated than that. And awesome on so many levels.
If you have been watching (good for you) you know this Sunday brings a brand new episode, which we have a preview for after the break. Look for True Detective Sunday at 9/8C on HBO.

One thing we really love around here is a good, gritty detective story. If it’s well done it can be riveting to watch and as the story unfolds the revelations can often be shocking and very satisfying. That’s one of the hallmarks of a great show.
A prime example of this is HBO’s latest drama True Detective, which stars Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey and is written by Nic Pizzolatto. We won’t spend a lot of time describing the show, but instead will say this: you should be watching it.
It’s that good — especially if you’re a fan of the aforementioned gritty, detective stories. This one’s got grit to spare.
We’ve got a preview of the second episode to share with you today. Check it out after the break.
True Detective airs Sundays at 9/8C on HBO.

One press release says it all:
Telltale Games and HBO announce Partnership to Create Games based on Game of Thrones. 2012 Studio of the Year and HBO Global Licensing in multi-year, multi-title partnership to Create Games Based on Emmy Award-Winning Television Series.
Though I have never been an adventure game player, I instantly fell in love with Telltale’s The Walking Dead. It was one of the licensed games to nail it on every count. There references to the world I knew were there, but never forced. The story stood on its own as well for those who didn’t know the source material intimately. The characters were emotionally engaging. And I didn’t want it to end.
And now they are going to do that with something I love almost as much as the original Walking Dead comics. Well to that I say, “Bring it on.” In 2014, Telltale will embark down what will no doubt be an emotional journey in the world of Westeros with Game of Thrones. One thing that both Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead have each taught me is that bad things happen to good people, especially when I begin to really like them. In a way now, I almost dread the heartbreak that this game is going to bring upon me.

With The Wire, The Sopranos, True Blood and Game of Thrones, just to name a few, HBO continues to be one of the best networks to find original and entertaining programming. They look to be continuing that trend with the upcoming series True Detective.
The show, which stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as Louisiana detectives Rust Cohle and Martin Hart, tells the story of a 17-year long hunt for a killer. Ranging from the original investigation of a bizarre murder in 1995 to the reopening of the case in 2012, the two detectives becomes locked in a cycle of violence and obsession as they trey to unravel the mystery.
With the latest trailer for the series, we can certainly tell that this show is going to be one to watch. True Detective debuts Sunday, January 12 on HBO. Check out the trailer after the break.

Westeros is not a happy place. If you’ve watched Game of Thrones or read it, you know that it’s not all sunshine and puppies. Actually the only reference to puppies was the suggestion of the demented Geoffrey being gleeful because he had killed a bunch of them. But that is what makes Bad Lip Reading’s Medieval Fun-Time World so damn good. While some Bad Lip Reading had people saying completely nonsensical things, this Game of Thrones version tells a fantastic story of a Westeros from the first season of Game of Thrones that is VERY different from what the show’s audience is used to.
Keeping both the show and the video below spoiler free, Medieval Land Fun-Time World is actually what one would expect from its name. Meet a cast of characters who are all actors and employees of a medieval theme park where hilarity ensues. Just like Game of Thrones right? It feels like your average comedy flick with guys like Eddie the leader and the jive talking Terry but for those who know the story of the Game of Thrones world, it makes these out of place dubs so much funnier.

We’re big Aaron Sorkin fans around here. His TV shows and movies are among the best written of all time. In short, he’s a master wordsmith.
We’ve been watching his HBO series The Newsroom since day one and are very excited to see the next season when it arrives next month. To help get you as excited as we are, there’s a new trailer for the season out and we’ve got it for you.
This season looks to be even more intense and this trailer goes a long way to prove that. Look for The Newsroom to arrive on July 14th.

With former and current hits like The Sopranos or Game of Thrones, it’s nice HBO hasn’t forgotten about its other series. In particular, a little one called True Blood that’s done pretty well for itself.
So well, in fact, that the show is about to return for its sixth season. And yes, we’ve got a brand new promo for that season to share with you today.
In it you’ll see a lot of what to expect from the coming season. It’s also interesting to see how the show is going to progress given that creator Alan Ball has moved over to do Banshee on Cinemax.
The show returns on June 16 for a ten-episode run. Yes, that’s a bit shorter than usual, but don’t worry, we’re sure it will be just as good.
Check out the promo after the break.

Great news today from HBO Sorkin fans as the network has announced the return date for his show The Newsroom. Fortunately, our suspicions about the show’s future were unfounded and the date of July 14th will se the show back where it belongs.
Heck, we will admit we were a bit skeptical when the cast for this show was first announced. Jeff Daniels as the conflicted but crusading anchor of a cable news show that suddenly finds a conscience? The guy from Dumb and Dumber? Okay. And let’s not get started on Olivia Munn.
Fortunately, our reservations about Mr. Daniels were completely unfounded and even Munn has started to grow on us, a little. The most important take-away here is that if you not currently watching Sorkin’s The Newsroom, you should be. And now you’ll get a chance when July 24th comes around.
In addition to Daniels and Munn, the show stars Emily Mortimer, Sam Waterston, Alison Pill and Terry Chimes. Jane Fonda also appeared in several episodes of the first season, but try not to let that put you off the show. It’s actually quite good casting, truth be told.
It’s nice to see Sorkin back where he belongs, on a network where ratings are less important and he can pretty much say what he wants. Can’t wait.
