RETURN OF LINKSPAM

Jul 18, 2011 18:30

Harry Potter is the Biggest Worldwide Debut Ever with $476M. That is to say, nearly half a billion dollars, blowing through the Eclipse midnight record, the New Moon opening day record, and the Dark Knight weekend record. From what I've seen of Comments on the Interwebs, Twilight fans and Batman fans are united in shouting YEAH WELL WAIT TILL OUR ( Read more... )

Yay! Linkspam FTW!

Oh, and that is one Klingon-like dwarf.

malady579 July 18 2011, 23:38:55 UTC

That is it! I have been trying to figure out what he reminded me of for a while now. Thank you.

maetang July 19 2011, 00:13:09 UTC

Although he's missing his bat'leth... But I guess having a sword makes it fantasy and not sci-fi then. ;^p

That was the first thing I thought when I saw the pic last night. I'm so glad I'm not the only one.

I'm wondering how many times I'm going to see Thormitage pop up on my f-list in the next day or two. I'm thinking 20 is a conservative estimate. :-) I'm still trying to figure out the massive Armitage love. Yeah, he's cute and all, but cute enough to inspire shrieking fangirl armies? I just don't see it.

Matthew Macfadyen, now . . .

miss_eponine July 19 2011, 00:29:48 UTC

If you haven't, go watch him in North and South. That's what made me fall in love with him.

litlover12 July 19 2011, 00:32:44 UTC

I've seen it. He was good in it. But he just doesn't do it for me.

miss_eponine July 19 2011, 00:36:05 UTC

=(. Oh well, different strokes and all that.

You know what's disturbing about the Thorin Oakenshield pic? It's that he looks like he's part Klingon and I don't know if it's intentional or not.

I'm still not sure if I care about this, although it has been pointed out that both Hugo Weaving and Richard Dwarfitage Armitage are in it. Hm. My feelings exactly. Every time I see a Captain America trailer I think "needs moar Richard Armitage."

Off topic: Did Tony Stark and Steve Rogers have a romance?

Yeah, idk, I don't think the power of all the allowances combined can top that total for Twilight. Batman, on the other hand... Hm.

cleolinda July 18 2011, 23:46:00 UTC

I think Batman has a shot at reclaiming the title, but it also isn't as kid-friendly. I mean, this DH movie was completely traumatic and I've heard of kids having to leave, but people at least THINK it's kid-friendly, as opposed to a teaser where Gordon lies curled up in a hospital bed all sad about how Batman needs to come back. Also: Bane.

elizardbits July 18 2011, 23:48:33 UTC

OH GOD the IMAX preview wherein Tom Hardy's obscenely bemuscled back takes up the entire 15-story screeeeen.

FIESTA EN PANTALONES

also that SDCC twilight line pic makes me really depressed about the future of our species.

FIESTA EN PANTALONES

That is probably the best sequence of words I will see this week.

Yeah... people keep complaining that it's not in the books, but I was like... dude, it totally is. I read that the first time and I was like, wait? seriously? what? This was totally their summer of love, wasn't it?

If she'd come out and said he was gay after HBP, okay, that's one thing. After DH? I was only surprised that she actually announced it, not that he was.

cleolinda July 19 2011, 01:06:43 UTC

I also come down on the side that it's important to have characters who turn out to be gay as just another facet of their personality, without it defining them in some stereotypical way. And I do feel like that facet was present in the Grindelwald back story and not just something she made up later, so.
