Beany 03/10/25 2:35:50 PM #1:	During an interview with Collider for the press tour for 'In the Lost Lands' movie, GRRM talked about adaptations of his works and gave a small update on Winds: During the conversation, Martin also talked extensively about the adaptations of his books and difficulties, such as budget restraints, and how to properly succeed with an adaptation. "You try to make the story as good as it can be, and some fans will like it, some fans will not like it," Martin said. "You're always going to get criticism, but you've got to keep trying. You've got to try to do every one the best it can possibly be." Admitting that while the projects and the process could be fun and exciting, "some of them are frustrating, and they become less fun." However, he emphasized that when a project does come together, and it's good, then it can be wonderful. And for the fans who are still unimpressed by an adaptation, he noted that the books would always be there. He said: "There's always the books, and I'm aware of that people think that But no, I have to get back. I have to finish the books. That's the one thing I'm completely in control of. There's no budget limitations. There's no other executives on the studio side that I have to please, or other writers with different views. The books are what I'm going to make them. And, I think the one I'm writing is coming pretty well, but I wish it would come faster." https://collider.com/a-knight-of-the-seven-kingdoms-season-2-george-rr-martin-comments/ --- "It's a simple question, Doctor: would you eat the Moon if it were made of ribs?" <cite>Beany posted [p:984313442] in GRRM says ...

M1Astray 03/10/25 6:12:25 PM #43:	I'm not normally one to compare because of how lacking in class it typically is but... Holds up copies of Oathbringer, Rhythm of War, Wind and Truth totalling over 3800 pages Not even half of what Sanderson has written and published in that time either. If GRRM had written half a page a day over this period of time he'd be done with both Winds and Dream of Spring. As someone who started regularly exercising during that time and stuck with it I find GRRM's lack of ability to commit to even small things rather contemptible TBH. On the bright side I made a promise that in the event he finished the series I would attempt to slog my way through it, I made that promise with confidence eight or so years ago that I would never actually have to make good on it. Thus far it seems like I was spot on and that is one dreary depressing fantasy world I won't ever have to engage with. --- Currently Playing: Fate/stay night Remastered (Switch), Arknights (Android) <cite>M1Astray posted [p:984315551] in GRRM says ...
