Damn, a friend of mine was just regaling me of how good this movie is and showed me this trailer.
And now I want to see it for myself!
And yes, it reminds me of A Song of Ice and Fire and makes me wish that we got an adaptation of the A Song of Ice and Fire book series (and not the "based off of" story or silliness that was Game of Thrones from season 2 onward and especially after season 4 was done and over with).
It kinda reminds me of the first Assassin's Creed video game (in contrast to the second Assassin's Creed II game which was much more flowery and funny and colorful). The first Assassin's Creed game was a lot more like A Song of Ice and Fire in how dark and philosophical it could be at times and, in general, just the atmosphere was oppressive and heavy; you kinda felt like you'd be suffocated within it.
I really should watch House of the Dragon but, again, it seems like the atmosphere and aesthetics are too much like Game of Thrones and not enough like A Song of Ice and Fire (or this movie called The Green Knight).
Also:
Recommend me some good or great movies from the last 10 years or so (and yes, I think "or so" is going to be used very casually here).
Another thing:
Read Sir Gawain and the Green Knight; it's a great tale.
Lastly:
Maybe a TV show or two or three could be recommended to me (I've been bored lately).

For the record:
I've been going through an A Song of Ice and Fire re-read (ever since my first read-through in 2008 or 2009).
I plan to finish the fifth book soon after finishing the fourth one next year, I think.
I also plan to include Dunk & Egg as well.
I don't plan to include The World of Ice and Fire, even though I enjoyed going through it the first time.
Oh yeah, and let me know if there are any books from the supplementary series I should read through, such as, I guess, the Fire & Blood book (don't know whether or not I should read that for the first time yet).
