#Colbert Martins

[safedistancefrombeingsmart]

Martin Freeman and Stephen Colbert talk about The Hobbit Lego figures I know, it's an oldie (04.12.2012). To me, Martin's humour always feels fresh, tho.

Also, Martin knows that it was a good one. 😁

Stephen Colbert + George R.R. Martin = The Chronicles of Amber on TV

‘Colbert will now executive produce the potential series under his Spartina production banner. Spartina joins Skybound Entertainment and Vincent Newman Entertainment (VNE) on the series version of the beloved fantasy novels, with Skybound first announcing their intention to develop the series back in 2016. The books have been cited as an influence on “Game of Thrones,” with author George R.R. Martin recently stating he wanted to see the books brought to the screen...’

That’s from Stephen Colbert to Produce ‘Chronicles of Amber’ TV Series Adaptation (Variety by Joe Otterson, Jan 17, 2023).

‘It comes seven years after The Walking Dead creator [Robert] Kirkman announced that he was developing a series based on the books with Vincent Newman Entertainment...’

[The Chronicles of Amber] follows the story of Corwin, who awakens on Earth with no memory, but soon finds he is a prince of a royal family that has the ability to travel through different dimensions of reality, called shadows, and rules over the one true world, Amber.

The books, which have sold over 15M copies, are one of the inspirations for Game of Thrones, whose author George R.R. Martin is a noted fan...’

And that’s from Stephen Colbert Boards Series Adaptation Of Roger Zelanzny’s Sci-Fi Novels ‘The Chronicles Of Amber’ (Deadline by Peter White, January 17, 2023).

‘Ask, and (if you’re George R.R. Martin ceaselessly campaigning for an adaptation of Roger Zelazny’s The Chronicles Of Amber) ye shall receive. One of Martin’s all-time favorite fantasy novels might finally be headed to the small screen thanks to a decidedly unexpected bedfellow: Stephen Colbert...

“Most of all, I want Roger Zelazny’s NINE PRINCES IN AMBER,” Martin wrote. “I will never understand why Corwin and his siblings are not starring in their own show. Hey, if epic fantasy continues to do well, maybe we will finally get that. A boy can dream”...

When announcing his own project, Colbert directly referenced Martin’s “dream.”

“George R.R. Martin and I have similar dreams,” Colbert shares in a statement via The Hollywood Reporter. “I’ve carried the story of Corwin in my head for over 40 years, and I’m thrilled to partner with Skybound and Vincent Newman to bring these worlds to life. All roads lead to Amber, and I’m happy to be walking them”...

From One of George R.R. Martin's favorite fantasy novels is finally getting a TV adaptation, thanks to Stephen Colbert (The A.V. Club by Hattie Lindert, January 17, 2023).

It’s been four months since this announcement. Nothing new has been announced, and this comes at a time of uncertainty for the global economy and for streaming services in particular. But this dream of Amber being brought to the screen, in some form or another, could maybe, possibly, eventually, one day happen..?

[bestofgrrm]

An episode of the Comedy Central series Stephen Colbert's Tooning Out The News has the latest from Martin, who says — sounding fairly sincere about it — that he’s written around 1,100 to 1,200 pages of the book so far, and just has “another 400, 500 pages” to go.

- Grrm, George R.R. Martin says he only has another 500 pages to write on Winds of Winter, Polygon

Lovelies, especially Eastern European, Central Asian, (actually) Caucasian, Siberian and other post-Soviet fans of George R.R. Martin - it seems like George did us a small service. He said that he would like to fly on a dragon to the Kremlin (and, as I suppose, preferably dracarys P*tin and his minions) 🥹 Watch from around 14:30, you’ll see it.

Btw, when will we tell George that in Cracow, Poland, there is an actual dragon pit under the Wawel castle and that we could actually start searching for dragon eggs there, so that they can be used to dracarys the Kremlin in the future? 👉👈🥺

As mentioned previously here, George R.R. Martin appeared on Late Night with Stephen Colbert a few weeks ago.

However I missed the cold open featuring GRRM somewhat in character at work on a circa 1999 computer.

Our VOICE, Black History Month, and Conscientious Citizenship

Welcome to the inaugural VOICE Faith Engagement update!

 Please feel free to respond, ask questions, make suggestions, and more – consider this an opening to discussion about rallying our multi-faith efforts to advance black liberation because, as Rev. Denise Walden-Glenn reminds us, “There is no liberation without black liberation”.

 This week beginning Black History Month we are again reminded of the disregard with which American culture treats black lives, as we mourn the horrific beating and death of Tyre Nichols, watch the African American Studies AP get banned by the State of Florida, and then scaled back by the College Board, barely notice that African American “Eunice K. Dwumfour, a 30-year-old councilwoman serving her first term in Sayreville, N.J., was fatally shot on Wednesday night”, and see that D. L. Hughley devoted an entire show on Monday to Tyre Nichols while Steven Colbert didn’t mention him at all.

 Meanwhile, on the upside, talk of the latest renaissance in African American culture is out there in offerings like Amplify with Lara Downes.

 Join me in finding some inspiration in Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s call for “conscientious citizenship”. Michele Moody-Adams leads her profound essay “The Path of Conscientious Citizenship” with these words:

“I contend that, for King, conscientious citizenship is a way of living that seeks to give substance to the idea that justice is indivisible, aspiring to an ideal that (adapting a notion from Josiah Royce) King called the ‘beloved community’—by which he meant a world that would allow reconciliation between the former oppressed and their former oppressors, and embody an all-embracing love for humanity.”

[This essay appears in this vital collection: To Shape a New World: Essays on the Political Philosophy of Martin Luther King, Jr., edited by Tommie Shelby and Brandon M. Terry]

 Knowing that this vision is the ideal and that we must work diligently, and over the course of many generations, to continue to approach it, helps me cope with the vastness of the project. Each of us can make a difference by devoting ourselves to this path. It is not easy, and it will not come quickly, but we can only get there by working on ourselves and collaborating.

 Wishing all of you blessings for a good weekend,

 Jonathan

The Charlatans UK & RIDE – Webster Hall – January 18, 2023

Two English rock acts that formed in the late ’80s have reteamed for another U.S. visit with each playing a beloved album from early on in their discography. And with just a pair of remaining dates on their tour, the Charlatans UK worked through their second studio album, Between 10th and 11th, and RIDE played their debut LP, Nowhere, for a packed Webster Hall on Thursday night.

(The Charlatans UK & RIDE play Union Transfer in Philly tonight.)
