There's a second-run theater in Minneapolis that is super awesome to geeks. They host CSTS every year, they did the OMWF singalong before we got shut down by The Man, they had a LoTR weekend in December, and this weekend, they're doing seven Harry Potter movies. Today was SS, CoS, and PoA, and tomorrow is GoF, OotP, HBP, and DH1 ( Read more... )

TiVo suggested "Fletch" to me, which I'd never seen before. And then I had it record (most of) "Fletch Lives". The terrible fake names Fletch "comes up with" are totally my favorite part. SNL-era Chevy Chase #cangetit.

Yes, I used a hashtag. I feel dirty.

Neither of those things (watching Fletch or using a hashtag) would have happened if not for ( Read more... )

Got an answering machine at work today. The message said "It's you-know-who! Leave a message!"

And I was like OMG VOLDEMORT HAS REGENERATED AND EMIGRATED TO THE STATES OMGOMGOMG.

My work schedule is shifting early the next three days. Apparently there's an 8:30 in the morning now?

We got to the theater at 10:15 and were having trouble finding seats. There was a specky little git that was "saving" practically a whole row that especially rankled me. There were seats up front on the floor, but eff that. We got an usher who bellowed that since it was a sellout (DUHHH, damn kids) people need to fill up open seats, so we ended up ( Read more... )

Bought HP&THBP DVD on my way to work today, mostly because I had a ten dollars off coupon to a specific store that I wouldn't use otherwise. I got this version, which includes a digital copy. I read the small print on that which said the offer expires May 7, 2010. That reminded me my copy of The Dark Knight also had a digital copy that I actually ( Read more... )

Interrupted by his phone ringing, Rupert [Grint] quickly answered it as we waited around. After replying to the text message, we found out that Rupert recently lost a bet to actor Robert Pattinson, who was once part of the Harry Potter cast in a previous film, and insisted that Rupert read the bestselling book. Rupert is now "stuck reading ' ( Read more... )
