2011 Holiday Gifts Roundup: GRRM Calendar!
This being the first day of December, I’d like to start off the holiday season by showcasing some products throughout the month that would make gifts for fans of George R. R. Martin and the HBO series Game of Thrones.
Even if it’s a present to yourself, you greedy bastards, there’s nothing wrong with supporting The Man Himself and HBO for providing us with quality entertainment, both in print and on screen. So pull out your wallets or your electronic funds or whatever kids today use for money and buy something.
Let’s kick the off the holiday spending with something that won’t be useful until next year!
Have a look at the A Song of Ice and Fire 2012 Calendar, available at Amazon. This large-sized 11.9in x 11.8in calendar is drawn and colored by renowned artist John Picacio, made famous from his works in the fantasy and science fiction genres. He has illustrated the cover of many a beloved tome. Winner of a Locus Award, three Chesley Awards, and two International Horror Guild Awards.
The 2012 calendar features 12 months of Starks, Lannisters, bastards and royal families, as well as memorable scenes from the book series. A perfect gift for ASoIaF or Game of Thrones fans!
Peter Dinklage also Narrates in The Wordy Shipmates
I know you’ve probably been wondering the same thing that I have. “That Peter Dinklage has a fine voice, why doesn’t he do more voice acting?” Well it turns out that he’s done a bit of voice over work, thank you very much!
Peter Dinklage has narrated at least two documentaries, a miniseries titled The Real Family of Jesus and Freedom Machines from POV, a PBS documentary series. We announced a few weeks back that he also voices one of the stories in The Bippolo Seed, a collection of “lost” tales from Dr. Seuss.
Finding voice actor credits for book narration is rather difficult, as not all narrators are listed on the audiobook. I’ve compiled a pretty solid list of his works, so when I stumbled upon a reference to Peter Dinklage narrating in The Wordy Shipmates by author Sarah Vowell, I was skeptical. But it’s legit! He reads the part of Roger Williams, an English-born Puritan with heretical notions of freedom of religion and the separation of church and state. He also was one of the founders of Rhode Island; he helped buy the island from a local tribe.
The book has gotten pretty good reviews, but I did gather that although it has a historical bent, it’s got many of the author’s personal anecdotes and memoirs from the present sprinkled throughout the novel. Some people complained about her speaking voice being nasally or whiny, but I don’t find it a problem. I might change my mind after 7 hours though.
Take a listen and see what you think!
Peter Dinklage Narrates in Lost Dr. Seuss Stories
My little birds wanted me to tell you that Peter Dinklage is one of the narrators of the audio version of The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories, a collection of stories by the one and only Dr. Seuss.
In fact, they’ve just finished recording.
Other narrators for the audio book edition include: Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog) Joan Cusack (Toys, Toy Story 2 & 3), Anjelica Huston (The Adams Family, The Royal Tenenbaums), Jason Lee (My Name Is Earl, Alvin and the Chipmunks), Edward Hermann (Oz, Gilmore Girls), all of whom are experienced voice actors.
Seuss scholar and collector Charles D. Cohen hunted down stories written by Dr. Seuss (AKA Theodor Geisel) and published during the early 1950s in a variety of magazines.
