Add this to the list of things I'm excited about --

HBO is doing "Game of Thrones," a TV series adaptation of George R. R. Martin's epic fantasy novel. Thomas McCarthy is set to direct. I wish I had known when he was visiting our uni (though it probably wasn't official at that point). I would have asked so many questions about it. Total switch from his directorial debut, The Visitor. I also wished I would have asked him about his experience with The Lovely Bones and Peter Jackson.
