In tbe audio book, the guy that captures jamie and brienne has a speech impedement owing to his lack of a nose.

I'm becoming more and more cynical about pic's and videos...

I've started questioning whether every given pic is untouched.
The trouble with becoming so cynical is there are fewer and few "WOW !" moments.

Remember the first Star Wars movie, everyone was so impressed.
Now the professionally produced stuff is Ho Hm.
We watched Django Unleased last night... just another video game.

No, Virginia, there is no Santa Claus... just Adobe PhotoShop

But so what?
When I watch a movie I want them to present the story, which includes the actors dialog, body language, and action, as best they can. I really don't care if it was the actor, a stunt double, or special effects, that got the character from point A to point B. The fact that he got from A to B is the story line, and they conveyed that.

Sure, it's obvious the $50 million star didn't jump off the cliff, through the flames, into the shark infested waters, but the story character did, and that's the goal... telling the story. I didn't care that Jessica Rabbit wasn't real, she was hot, and told her part of the story.

It seems every movie coming out has a youtube video compiling "mistakes", put together by some nitpicker(s) who watched it frame by frame trying to find any little gotcha. What shallow lives they must lead, after completely losing the magic of the movies.
