George R.R. Martin Dressed Up To Go See "Barbie," And Fans Are Kinda Obsessed
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Recently, Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin shared a very important announcement (and no, it wasn't that the next book is coming out). He and his wife went to go see Barbie!
It seems that George, like the rest of us, couldn't resist Barbieposting, and shared the below photo. George, you look amazing.
I went to see Barbie with my lovely wife; she said pink is my color. #imkenough pic.twitter.com/4E0LJMQpmC

And the pink + black is making me think he caught a double feature 😈!
A lot of people were leaving nice compliments...
I'm legitimately glad you had a good time at the cinema with your wife, Mr. Martin! 💜💜💜

...but fans were also poking fun about how The Winds of Winter, Martin's next installment in the A Song of Ice and Fire series, is YEARS overdue. (I mean, the last book came out over 12 years ago — George, c'mon!)
This Barbie is a procrastinator https://t.co/c9YKL1H2F8

And somebody brought this up again. Should we be following up on that?

Other people find the barrage of "when will you write the book" tweets a bit, well, annoying.
"Finish this" "finish that" Let the man enjoy his movie, God

He's not "not writing his book," he's actually just "committing to the bit."
please keep doing this kind of thing and never finish that book its gone so long that its funny now. Have a great day sir

But for real, we all know what George is SUPPOSED to be doing: spending every waking moment holed up in some great mahogany study and writing ASOIAF for us. And he should obviously be asking us for permission before taking a two-hour break to go to the cinema with his wife.
That said, I'm kind of glad The Winds of Winter isn't finished yet, because now there's a possibility we'll see the kind of narrative influence the greatest film of all time (Barbie) might have on George's writing.
