"Bran thought about it. 'Can a man still be brave if he's afraid?' 'That is the only time a man can be brave,' his father told him." p.22
That place, when a person can be brave, is where "A Game of Thrones" takes place. This story, and these characters, came into my life like a thundestorm. Full of loud, booming, natural beauty-- difficult to forget, this brilliantly plotted and populated epic is truly a modern classic. Before reading this first novel, having seen the HBO television adaptation, I had dismissed the series as not something I would normally read. What Martin does here is nothing short of epic, brilliant and all the like terms that get tossed around. Using ideas, terrain and creatures we have seen before-- knights, dragons, kings and queens-- he expertly tips convention on its head, and makes a kind of fairy tale, for adults, that will have you turning page after page.
There is so much going on in this book, and that is the best of things. It is the far exception in this densely populated book that a character is not instantly and immensensely memorable. These women and men-- Ned, Catelyn, Arya, Robb, Sansa and Bran Stark, Tyrion Lannister, Daenerys-- are so human, and so many shades of heroes and villians and everything in between. We see this story playing out across kingdoms and nations, from so many different eyes-- from the eyes of our presuemed heroes, the Starks; our presumed villians, the Lannisters, a host of others; and the exiled girl at the edges of the world who just might have the power to save the world. The way they are played and reveal themselves in the plot, each chapter from another's point of view, makes this a great work of the human condition, politics and history that just so happens to include the possibility of dragons and other magic.
I could not love this story more.

The project was first announced all the way back in summer 2013 at San Diego Comic Con, and in the time since then we’ve seen a seemingly endless stream of news, rumors, and even some footage pop up online. The good news is that we’ve been closely following all of it, and have collected all of the need-to-know info in this handy guide. How will Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice be affected by its predecessor, Man of Steel? When is the movie coming out in theaters? Who is directing? Who will star? Find all of the answers to those questions and more below, but first let's watch the latest trailer!

Man of Steel has a lot of shortcomings, but one thing it has going for it is a very solid arc, and a real through-line, that actually pays off.
What few people seem to get about Man of Steel is, it’s actually a very optimistic movie. Here’s what happens: Kal-El is sent to Earth, the survivor of a doomed planet, and is raised by the Kents, who fear what’ll happen to him if other people find out he’s an alien. So they urge him to keep his powers secret, and Pa Kent even sacrifices his life to deter Clark from using his powers publicly. Years later, some more aliens show up, and they’re evil as all fuck. Superman is forced to emerge from hiding to fight them.
So the first time anybody finds out about Superman is not when he saves a plane from crashing, but when he gets caught up in a giant scrape with other members of his own species. This scenario stacks the deck massively against anybody ever accepting, let alone welcoming, Superman. But because Superman shows so much concern for human life, and is clearly fighting to protect Earth from his own kind, he wins people over.
