Anyone decide to watch this because of certain HBO series?

Did anyone here decide to watch this movie for the first time due to Peter Dinklage's performance in Game of Thrones and/or Bobby Cannavale's performance in Boardwalk Empire?

You'll laugh at why I checked it out. Had never even heard of it before yesterday, when I saw a list of an actor's top five films of all-time. The actor - Method Man of The Wu-Tang Clan

Interesting! :)

Nope, we came across this years ago and it is one of our favorite movies. I also like Dinklage in Death at a Funeral, the British version, I've not seen the American remake.

That's awesome. Both that it is how you discovered this film, and that Method Man would even know this film existed, let alone rank it as one of his favorites. Hopefully I can find that list somewheres...

Lovely film. And yes, GoT made me curious. Fine performances from all.

Yes, I saw it for the first time since watching game of thrones...

Dinklage's performance was still fantastic. The two other supporting characters were great as well.

No. I knew of Peter Dinklage from seeing The Station Agent over a decade ago. Then I recognized him in Game of Thrones.

Saw this 10 years ago when it came out on DVD and thought it was a great film then , long before Games of Thrones was made. I've always loved Dinklage's acting.

I found this movie in 2004 in the PX Trailer in Camp Virgina, Kuwait the night before we headed up north. It seemed like a very calm sort of movie(which is what I was looking for that night) and the critics comments on the box seemed positive. It was the first time I'd heard of Peter Dinklage or Bobby Cannavale but I enjoyed it a lot and have watched it many times since.

When GoT first came out my friends and I were talking about it and a few mentioned that Tyrion was there favorite character and didn't know his real name. When I said "That's Peter Dinklage, from The Station Agent!" I got some blank stares. Not their fault, it wasn't exactly a blockbuster. But I've loaned it to a few of them and haven't heard anyone not like it either.

Just watched this today after seeing Cannavale's tremendous performance in Boardwalk Empire. And I liked him here, he was so adorable like an innocent kid, very different from Gyp Rosetti. I have a crush on him truth be told.

Actually, I've never seen one episode of GoT. but I've seen a few of the sex scenes from GoT on the net. lol...

I watched this movie because I saw that movie Penelope a while back and thought Dinklage was good in that movie so I decided to check out TSA. I might have to watch GoT now.
