Yesterday, legendary designer and filmmaker Saul Bass would have been 93. Everyone celebrated in their own way – Google made a doodle in honor of him and artist Fernando Reza created a unique tribute. He created Game of Thrones posters in the Bass’ unique style. He writes, “Each poster commemorates one of Saul Bass’ frequent collaborators Otto Preminger, Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchock, and John Frankenheimer. Each with visual cues to some of Bass’s most iconic works. This also opened the door to envisioning what a Hitchcock/Kubrick/Preminger/ Frankenheimer adaptation may have been, so each print comes complete with prospective cast and crew info at the bottom.”

In late March HBO CEO Richard Plepler made my Game of Thrones-loving, non-cable having heart go pitter patter when he suggested HBO might, at some point, bundle their online streaming service HBO GO with Internet service, meaning that even if one doesn’t get cable one could still pay to get HBO shows legally online.
Now Time Warner’s CEO has stepped in to say “Not so fast!” It was a nice dream while it lasted.

Jeffrey Bleich isn’t your normal Game of Thrones fan. Oh, no. He also happens to be the U.S. Ambassador to Australia. And, in his official capacity as Ambassador, he has a message for you, Aussies: Stop pirating Game of Thrones! Stop it! Bad Aussies!

I can’t even joke about Guillermo del Toro picking up tons of projects anymore. It’s too easy. The new addition to his slate is the manga Monster, which del Toro is TV show-ifying for HBO.
(Game of Thrones. A Guillermo del Toro-helmed manga adaptation. Dang, HBO. So geeky. Keep it up.)

Cheeky, cheeky, Netflix, putting one of your own original series here. The day may come when we see HBO shows available to stream on Netflix. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends, and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day.
Not now that more Americans can watch Netflix than HBO.

Artist Nigel Evan Dennis was trying something new when he started illustrating minimalist versions of characters from HBO’s Game of Thrones. Turns out trying something new worked in his favor. In “Where Have All The Wildlings Gone?” not only is Dennis taking a stab at drawing just about every character from the show, he’s also including House allegiances, faiths, alliances, and a pretty detailed timeline. Oh yeah, and a countdown clock for each new episode. Check out some of the characters already represented and keep an eye on Dennis’ site for regular updates.

A Steve Carell- and James Gandolfini-starring made-for-TV comedy isn’t our normal sort of thing at The Mary Sue. But if it’s about “feuding paleontologists”? Based on a real-life event called the “Great Dinosaur Rush”? And called Bone Wars? You bet your sweet bippy we’re covering it.

Claire Hummel has a long running art series where she redesigns Disney princess outfits to be more accurate to the time period most referenced in the design of their movies. This was her Disney’s-Robin-Hood-themed April Fools joke. If you’d like to see her equally hilarious commentary on her redesign, you can do so here. (Tumblr)

Caldwell Tanner didn’t use HBO’s Join the Realm website to create these unique House Sigils. Instead, he came up with his own designs for what popular websites might hang from their proverbial castle walls if they lived in the world of Game of Thrones. And we decided to join in on the fun. Look at the House Sigils and mottos from Twitter, Wikipedia, The Mary Sue, and more!

"SHARKS. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the uterus." - A thing I just said in chat, sans context.

In a perfect world, that would make those men MORE sympathetic to women when they talk about objectification of women in media.
Susana Polo
But really the take away from this is that two seconds of quickly covered up Chris Hemsworth stomach makes some men feel objectified.
Susana Polo
Good to know that a broad trend across much of visual media has effected one man, in one shot. We can all go home, sexism is over.
Susana Polo
Whenever we bring up objectification of women in modern action movies, people always bring up the one shot of Chris Hemsworth shirtless.

The Voyager crew is in 1996 LA. Also Ed Begley and Sarah Silverman are there. I LOVE IT when Star Trek does cheesy time travel.
