Game of Thrones season 4 blooper unveiled

Game of thrones fans at San Diego Comic Con have been treated to a blooper reel from season 4 of the fantasy series, showing their favourite characters as they have never been seen before.In one scene Pedro Pascal's Prince Oberyn nearly sets himself on fire with a flaming torch when he bumps into it while in Tyrion’s cell.

In another, Aryra trips over her legs in the middle of swordplay, sending both actress Maisie Williams (arya stark) and Rory McCann(the hound), who plays The Hound, into fits of laughter.
Possibly the funniest moment comes when the usually demure and graceful Daenerys, played by the equally refined Emilia Clarke, says to her captain Daario Naharis in a cockney accent: “I’m a khaleesi not a queen, for f**k’s sake, mate.”
The two-minute video was unveiled during a Game of Thrones panel with the cast and crew of the show.
Along with the gag reel, the makers unveiled the nine new characters joining the show for season five.
Among the stars to be added to the cast were 24 and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine actor Alexander Siddig, who will take on the role of Doran Martell, the wise if reticent ruler of Dorn
Oscar-nominated Whale Rider actress, Keisha Castle-Hughes will be playing the feisty Obara Sand, one of the illegitimate daughters of the Oberyn Martell. She will be seeking vengeance after her father was murdered at the hands of The Mountain in season four.
The makers of the Game of Thrones, Dan Weiss and David Benioff, have previously said that they are feeling “a little intimidated” at the prospect of trying create new episodes to top season four.
Season five of Game of Thrones is expected to be out next year.

Fifty Shades of Grey trailer becomes most watched You Tube movie preview of 2014

The first trailer for 'Fifty Shades of Grey' has become the most watched movie preview of the year in less than a week.

Set to a new version of Beyonce's hit "Crazy in Love", the trailer has notched up more than 36.4 million views, according to the Hollywood Reporter, citing figures compiled by tech firm Zefr, since it was released with much fanfare on 24 July.
In its first week, "Fifty Shades" easily beat the trailer for the upcoming "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", which racked up 31 million views at the end of March, and surpassed both Godzilla and Michael Bay's Transformers: Age of Extinction, with more than 26 million views.
The trailer gave fans of the erotic trilogy a first look at Calvin Klein model turned actor Jamie Dornan in the role of Christian Grey, a billionaire with an appetite for S&M, and Dakota Johnson as the shy college student Anastasia Steele.
The preview, which first appeared on CBS' Today show in the US last week, sparked fury among conservative groups, which were quick to criticise the content of the film, arguing that it normalises sexual violence.
The American Parents Television Council (PTC) also spoke out against NBC's decision to show an edited down clip of the trailer on morning television.

“President Jonathan’s statement on Buhari was wrong “-Asari Dokubo

After the assassination attempt on Gen.Buhari(rtd), President Jonathan openly condemned it. Meanwhile, ex-militamt, Asari Dokubo claimed Buhari planned the attack on himself to discredit the government. Now, he is not happy with the president. He also said the boy arrested was a cross gender not the one behind the attack

“I do not work for Jonathan. What the President said was wrong. The life of Buhari is not more important than 87 people that died in that blast. It is unfortunate that the president made such a statement. I wonder why the President will be promoting one person above that of other Nigerians.“That statement from the President was very unfortunate. I do have the capacity to tell the President to apologize, but I still insist that he should not have made such a statement. “Soon after the blast, a cross-gender person came out and was arrested. Even the mother of the person arrested said he was insane”. On working for President Jonathan, Dokubo said, “Social media reports said I gave them N5 million to carry out the attack. These things are masterminded. The first one is against President Jonathan and the other is against me.“I did not pay anybody to carry out any assassination attempt on Buhari. I do not have anything against him. He is not a threat. He will fail in 2015. For the records, I do not operate a Twitter ‎account and anyone saying I tweeted that there will be more attacks is only using my name.”“They want to silence me because they know the role I will play in 2015. They have also sponsored reports in Benin Republic that I am the person financing Boko Haram.

1 die as Policemen Torture Lagos Residents

Policemen attached to the Elere Division, Agege, Lagos on Thursday raided Ajayi Ibe Street, arresting and torturing three suspects, one of which died the following day.

Punch reports that, the victim, identified as Kazeem Oyolola, had been a resident on the street for about one-and-a-half years.

It was further learnt that Oyolola, an indigene of Oyo State, who was single and about 29 years, died at a private hospital in the area on Friday after the beating by the policemen.

Our correspondent gathered that at about 10.30am on Thursday, Oyolola and two of his friends went to a beer shop opposite his residence, where they were taking drinks.

A police van with four policemen was said to have driven into the street and went to an unknown destination. However, when the van was returning, the policemen were said to have arrested the three men.

It was learnt that the police had arrested Oyolola and his friends as suspected Internet fraudsters, otherwise known asYahoo boys.

Our correspondent further gathered that while at the station, the

policemen had allegedly tortured the three men to make them confess to the crime, during which Oyolola slumped.

The policemen, it was learnt, then rushed him to a nearby hospital in the area, and allegedly told the medical personnel that Oyolola was drunk.

However, as a result of the wounds sustained, he was said to have died in the hospital at midnight in the presence of his parents who travelled to Lagos after they learnt of his arrest.

When our correspondent visited the area, an eyewitness, said the police simply dragged the three men inside the van without any explanation.

She said, “I was sitting in front of my shop when the police van passed. They had initially come during the sanitation to pursue some traders away, but when they got here, we were already through with the exercise.

“Kazeem and his two friends were relaxing in the next shop. The policemen just asked them to come inside the van, and took them away. We did not know what they were arrested for. In the afternoon when we went to the station, we were not allowed to enter.

“At evening time, when I came back to check, I heard he had been taken to a nearby hospital, and that his condition was critical. By the next morning, we heard that Kazeem had died, while his two friends who received similar wounds had been released by the police to go and take care of themselves. The youth in the area staged a protest against the incident.”

At Oyolola’s residence, a tenant who begged for anonymity noted that when she visited him at the hospital on Thursday evening, Oyolola’s hands and legs were swollen, and he could not speak.

She said,

“When I got to the hospital, his parents had arrived to look after him. His hands and legs were swollen. His mouth was wide open and he could not talk. You could see several bleeding spots all over his body. I do not know what information the police received, but I can tell you that Kazeem is an easygoing man in this area. He is a trader who deals in Aluminium products, and he has a younger brother who stayed with him. He should not have died in this cruel way.”

Our correspondent learnt that on Friday morning from about 10am, a large number of aggrieved youths in the area protested Oyolola’s death to the police division. However, they were said to have been resisted by the Rapid Response Squads, who allegedly shot into the air to scare away the protesters.

Oyolola’s corpse, as of the time of report, was said to have been deposited at a morgue in Yaba, Lagos.

The Lagos State Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, said she would call our correspondent back, but had yet to do so at the time of going to press.
