Why A song of ice and fire needs to be made into a movie or mini-series

A Song of ice and fire, aka a game of thrones for the tv show is not being supplied enough money! I heard for the second season they only used a measly 60 million dollars, this is a ridiculous amount compared to the fellowship of the rings reported 94 million, this is also considering the fact that the actual fellowship of the ring book is less than half the length of a clash of kings, and the whole damn lord of the rings is roughly a 100 pages over thousand, just a bit longer than a clash of kings, and considering each lord of the rings movies took 94 million us dollars to make which equates to 281 million dollars, a phenomenal amount, which a clash of kings is apparently 221 million dollars short, not saying hbo should have funded a clash of kings with 285 mil, that would have been impossible, but saying that to fund that much they either need to make it into a miniseries, like the wonderful heavily funded band of brothers and the pacific (Hanks and Spielberg where are you?!!) or a two part movie, like Steven Soderbergh's che and David Yate's the deathly hallows, which to be frank didn't really need  to be split into two damn movies, but for a song of ice and fire, a miniseries for each book perhaps? or 3 part movies? I personally go with three part movies, it is a big risk but a one worth taking, each movie would be would be funded 60 million dollars, equaling to a healthy total of 180 million dollars, each movie would be roughly 3 hours long, equaling to 9 hours for the whole thing, almost the same amount as the tv show (10 hours) and with no limit to what they can do, that means the movie series would span 8 years (for now) because a storm of swords is being filmed at this moment, and clash and games have already came out. 360 million dollars for the last ice and fires? seems good to me, well until George releases the next addition to a song of ice and fire, my complaint was sparked by the miserable battle at the end of a clash of kings and numerous other things, firstly it was cutting out the battle which Tyrion took part in in A Game of Thrones, then Jaqen H'ghars ending was ruined by the stupid hide and show effect, the part when Arya was with Yoren and the boys and they were fighting the Lannister men was also cut down to a few swordfights, the battle at last was missing the three whores, or bitches i'm not sure(trebuchets), and there wasn't even the magnificent ship battle like in the book, only a wildfire explosion and then fighting at the gates thats all(where was the chain!??), damn thing looked too modern and fake, probably because it wasn't shot on film but was shot on the much famed Arri Alexa, or maybe just because the colorists were too lazy, it really dishonored the book, i mean, compared to the siege of minas tirith in return of the king, this was just crap, and the reason being because it was on tv, television, despite being hbo and all that, if it was a movie, with paramount or 20th century fox funding it with the billions they have the directors could do anything, 3 parts for one book, seems great, its a risk but if it succeeds like lord of the rings or harry potter did, and they did, harry potter making close to 8 billion dollars and lord of the rings close to 3 billion, then it will be a great feast and dance indeed.

A Game of Thrones-George R.R. Martin (Continued from last year) 2/5
An Okay, book, watched the tv show first, read the  first half back in october then dumped it, then picked it up again in april because season 2 was coming out, weird cause for the first book i thought the tv show was better but for the second book i thought the book was better, probably because i watched the tv show first for the first one and watched it after for the second one.
Congo-Michael Crichton  3/5

Good book but dragged on about the technical stuff and characters seemed one sided, i liked amy, she was cute.

A Clash of Kings-George R.R. Martin 3/5

Okay book, end didn't pay off, considering it was almost as long as the entire lord of the rings, battle lasted only a couple of pages, tv show was much worse.

1984-George Orwell 3/5

Good book, seemed ahead of its time and has many simalarities to soviet russia, eg. 2+2=5 was a saying people adopted after Stalin wanted the five year plan to be completed in four years, in 1984 2+2=5 is featured prominently to show freedom of speech.

Brave New World-Aldous Huxley 3/5

Was great until the end, where it became pretty random, characters have very weird names, eg.Lenina Crowne

Fahrenheit 451-Ray Bradbury 3/5

Good book but the ending wasn't very great, characters were well developed, very much liked the setting.

Enders Game-Orson Scott Card 4/5

Great book, characters were rich and well developed, ending ruined it a little bit, hope the movie isn't gonna be a piece of crap.

1984

After reading 1984 I can name a 2 movies that seem very similar to it

Equilibrium. WARNING SPOILERS because instead of Thoughtcrime, people commit sensecrime; sense offenders as they are called in the movie, and basically if you feel anything, passion, hate, disgust; anything, you get killed, as like in 1984 where you get vaporized for contradicting thoughts about the government, and plus, instead of having big brother in the movie, they have someone called the father, who as we find out in the end, doesn't exist at all, as in 1984, we are left edging towards the thought that Big Brother also doesn't exist, also in Equilibrium, any objects that might produce emotion, such as paintings and books are all destroyed, whilst the same happens in 1984.



Brazil, WARNING SPOILERS. because the fact that the main character falls in love and gets apprehended for it; and their is apparently a ministry called the ministry of information, whereas in 1984 there is the Ministry of Love, Ministry of Peace etc, he also ends up getting tortured by the government like in 1984, and the place that he works looks very much like George Orwells Description of the Ministry of Truth.

and no folks, I have yet to see THX 1138!
