0720: Harry and Me - Calypso 'Caly' Malcolm

[pottersues]

I was reading an article today about how memory disorders are portrayed in movies. The guy writing it said that most films are depressingly inaccurate. Out of nearly a hundred years worth of movies, he only found three that depicted a memory disorder with any accuracy. They were Memento, Sé Quién Eres, and Finding NemoI think I'm going to go watch

Harry and Ron = bimbos, then? *my head a splode*

And Harry doesn't know there's wizards in the rest of the world.

The author doesn't realize that there's a difference between "O" and "Oh".

The houses are based on evilness, bravery, and a combination.

I think that *my head a splode* again.

[pixietails]

Maybe this infers an underlying taco show! **Shudders violently**

[undeadgoat]

Stop scaring me like that! My head already a splode twice . . .

[pixietails]

Ok. The scary goes away. Damn you Suethors for being the giver of nightmares and for making heads go a splode!

[eridanusus]

Memory disorders are interesting. So are dissociative disorders. Now THEY get portrayed wierdly. Heh.

[conuly]

Let me explain, briefly, the difference between O and Oh.

O is the word used in the Star Spangled Banner: O say can you seeeeeeeeeee!
O is the word used when talking to people: O Great and Mighty Voldy, please don't kill me!
O is the name of a character in a pornographic novel, but we won't get into that....

Oh is an interjection. It has an h at the end. Oh well, oh no, oh I don't care, uh-oh.

GET IT STRAIGHT, YOU FRAKKIN' IDIOT!

O is the name of a god-awful modern adaptation of Othello..

[conuly]

I didn't want to know that.

[chrismactaggart]

I watched five minutes before changing the channel
"Let's put Othello in HIGH SCHOOL! Won't that be cool!?" ::twitches::

[heliophyte]

It's nice that she's subverting the gender binary by using the word "bimbo" to refer to Harry and Ron... although I have a sneaking suspicion that it wasn't on purpose....

O well.

[conuly]

Bimbo was a word originally used towards males (not females).

[heliophyte]

I somehow doubt that the suethor was aware of that fact.. :-/

[conuly]

I suspect that this may be the usage wherever she's from.

[gehayi]

Calypso COULD be the Suethor's real name. I once knew a woman whose real name was--no lie--Calliope. She was Greek.

[darklorelei]

yes, but Calliope has a much better connotation than Calypso. By several miles. Muse versus seducing sorceress? You do the math!

[gehayi]

Uh, no. Circe was a seductress and a sorceress. (And, please note, the daughter of the sun.)

This is Calypso, who, like Circe, is one of the characters in The Odyssey:

Kalypso, the Queenly Nymph

[darklorelei]

Whoops. Got 'em confused. Calypso still went after him pretty hard, though!
