Joey Tribbiani is a character full of wit, charm, and some really weird habits. He can make any woman swoon, and his friendship with Chandler Bing could warm anyone’s heart. However, there are some not-so-great things Joey has done. He is not always the most reliable, and there’s no telling what he’s going to get into. The Friends gang were far from perfect, and made plenty of mistakes, regardless of how much we love them....

It’s an actor’s responsibility to bring a character to life - to become that character. To eat, sleep, speak, and interact as that character. This is especially true of Game of Thrones’ ensemble cast of unique and multifaceted characters. Because each character has intricate histories and detailed backgrounds, casting directors are tasked with pouring over thousands of hopefuls to find each role’s perfect fit. While capturing the character’s aesthetic and interpersonal dynamics is no easy task, looking back at their Game of Thrones auditions, it’s pretty clear how natural of a fit some of the actors were for their iconic roles....

Game of Thrones is known as one of the most amazing shows in television history and has a number of record-breaking awards under its belt. Because the series is so praised and beloved, it makes it that much more hilarious when a tiny blooper that is so out of place in the realm of Winterfell appears on set. We get so lost in the universe of GOT that we sometimes completely forget about the fact that these characters are fictional and after the director calls cut, the night king and Arya probably exchange jokes with one another while Sansa and Daenerys share one big hug....

While Ross and Rachel got together right at the end, and Monica and Chandler lived happily ever after, fan-favorite couple Joey and Phoebe were the only Friends duo that didn’t get together. Despite the actors who play them, Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow, even wanting the characters to get together, the writers were always against it. And while what the fans, and even what the actors want, isn’t always going to sway the writers of a show, almost sixteen years later, fans are still talking about how they wish the two had gotten together....

However, when Tom Cruise’s The Mummy flopped with critics and wasn’t a major hit at the box office, Universal scrapped the Dark Universe. That meant the planned Invisible Man movie starring Johnny Depp was reworked, and Depp left the project....

Game of Thrones had been one of the most popular shows on television for almost a decade, and even though it had similarities with many other fantasy shows, it was still unique in its own way. And one of its best parts? The costume designs. Every character on the show always had clothes that reflected the state that they were in, the situation, their occupation, and so on. Of course, one of the main female characters was bound to be the same, so here are Daenerys’ 10 Best Outfits In The Show....

Food seems to make its way into every single great comedy show, and Friends is no different, with the show having some fantastic moments involving food over the course of its 10-season run, from practical jokes by using food to simply the mention of it creating a running gag. With Monica being a chef by trade, there were always going to be some references to food within the show, although it isn’t always through her character that these iconic moments were created, as other characters have been involved with food jokes as well....

Friends is one of the most iconic television shows of all time, and at the heart of the show was Central Perk. To some, it might just be a random little coffee shop, but to fans of the show, this is one of the most important locations in the history of television. The coffee shop is the location where the main group spend the vast majority of their time, catching up, sharing gossip and debating major life decisions....

The Game Awards 2019 is swiftly approaching, and the announcement of its Game of the Year nominees was proof of two things: there were a lot of good games released in 2019, and there were some seriously big snubs in the reveal, although the list of nominees only has so much space on it. The Game Awards is the industry’s most recognizable award ceremony, a combination of advertisements for upcoming titles and acknowledgement of some of the biggest releases of the past year....

Arya’s killing of the Night King on Game of Thrones has been celebrated by the actor who originally played the show’s demonic villain. The fantasy epic was based on A Song of Ice and Fire book series by George R.R. Martin and concluded its eighth and final season earlier in the year.

WARNING: Spoilers for Game of Thrones season 8, episode 2. The living have a lot more to deal with than expected in Game of Thrones: just where have the new White Walkers come from? The phenomenal season 8, episode 2 ended the character development with the arrival of the Night King’s forces at Winterfell, and something stood out about them. Previously, the Night King has been shown with a small posse of White Walkers - three in “Hardhome”, three in “The Door” and four in “Beyond The Wall” (with one apiece killed in the former and latter) - and a massive army of wights, which suggested he’s got a small group of lieutenants and a whole load of disposable foot soldiers....

HBO first debuted their sprawling fantasy drama Game of Thrones in 2011 and the show has since become one of the biggest hits on television, beloved by critics and fans alike and earning the network plenty of awards acclaim. Based on George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire book series, each Game of Thrones season roughly covered one of the author’s books. However, by the end of Game of Thrones season 5, HBO’s show had caught up with the novels, meaning much of season 6 depicted aspects of the story that Martin had outlined, but haven’t been released in book form yet....
