Today's films ain't got nothin on the classics.

Perhaps the biggest plot hole in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince [Film]

If it is possible to produce water from your wand, ALA Harry refilling the fountain in the middle of the cave, then why is it the Weasley’s, Tonks, Lupin and Harry simply stand outside, watching in horror as the burrow burns spectacularly to the ground?

Well I’ve just ( Read more... )

I learned of some of the cast many many months ago, but there are some things here I did not know! Crispin Glover, Timothy Spall and Alan Rickman.

And ditto on the Stephen Fry as well, though I mostly like him from V for Vendetta and Hitchhikers guide.

Also, the plot sounds similar (in certain parts) to 'The looking glass wars' by Frank Beddor, which I liked. (but not the sequel, 'Seeing Red')

Oh, dude. Download or get a hold of whatever QI you can. Or his podcasts. They're amazing.

OH! And did you hear? Steven Spielberg is redoing Harvey.

I'm so fucking excited. I love that movie, and I think he could have the right hands for it.

watching in horror as the burrow burns spectacularly to the ground?

... What? -_- Was that in the book? It's been so long since I read it now ...

Also, I'm surprised you're only all "it passes" on "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and yet ... you're using a Gone With The Wind icon? Yeep. *hides*

:p

Oh lordy this is either going to be so fantastically awesome or an epic failure.

FANTASTICALLY FUCKING AWESOME FOR THE WIN. OH YES.

Alice is 19 and goes back to Wonderland ... and I could totally give you more spoilers (BECAUSE I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED WHEEE HEEE) but I won't until/if you ask for them! :D

The music is SO awesome (again, DANNY ELFMAN FOR THE MOTHEREFFING WIN!), and though you know I'm usually totally with you on all things animated (and totally understand how you feel about the Dark Crystal - my feelings on E.T. and Yoda, just for two examples that got CGI-buttfucked), for this I really think it works and I don't think Tim Burton could have gotten his own (AWESOMELY FUCKED-UP DRUGGED-OUT UNIQUE-AS-FUCK) vision ( ... )

The burrow DOES NOT burn spectacularly to the ground in the book! This was part of the point I'm making. Grrr. In the film, as you'll see, Bella turns up at christmas with Fenrir Greyback and sets the house on fire...then we don't hear anything else about it for the rest of the film. Where are the Weasley's staying now? Who knows ( ... )

emilystarr1 August 6 2009, 17:35:34 UTC

... Okay, that movie is gonna piss me off WAYYYY more than I even anticipated. And that is quite a feat. Dammit ( ... )

I knew it! A-ha, you see I guessed correctly your hatred of Scarlett. *points above* And not offended at all. Like I say, she's a totally hate-able character, even as I explained my reasons for liking her. *nods* I understand it all ( ... )
