I find it disconcerting that we are returning to an era that is reminiscent of the Gilded Age, especially in the developing world. The chasm between rich and poor grows greater and greater and is exemplified by this unbelievable display of Pharaonic wealth. I'd be embarrassed to live in such opulence, surrounded by slums.

If you haven't seen the amazing film, Slumdog Millionaire, do yourself a favour and watch it.

Tyrion is a (P)IMP

Thank you to Being a Geek for sharing. Game of Thrones is fantastic. If you haven't read the books , read them. In the world of fantasy  literature, there have been a lot of average writers, but three great writers stand as colossi . In my view, they have defined the genre: J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and the mythology it spawned. Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time and the mythology it spawned. George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire and the mythology it spawned. And if you haven't seen the HBO show yet, then get on it. The show is approaching the end of Season 2. Season 1 was fantastic. Season 3 should be amazing as the show's popularity has amped up HBO's spending. It's available via HBO On Demand  or catch it on HBO on Sunday evenings. Another HBO show that is amazing is Boardwalk Empire , be sure to check that out. It's about Prohibition and features Al Capone as one of the characters.
