I was going to wait until the weekend because I'm not a fan of crowds, but I'm testing a theory. I'm hoping the people who will brave the massive crowds today, on the first day it's open, will be more hardcore fans and therefore less annoying than the first weekend crowds--which would include more casual movie-goers and families with small children ( Read more... )

Here, have a funny video.

1. New (new to me anyway) Harry Potter trailer for Half-Blood Prince. Yay! I'm getting excited for it.

2. I haven't seen Watchmen yet, but even still this Rorschach spoof is hilarious. I imagine it's even funnier after you see the movie.

WHUT. Oh, Harry Potter fandom, why must you keep failing so hard? First using "miscegenation" as a sexual kink prompt, now using Kristallnacht for the basis of a fun RPG. Here's a good rule of thumb for anyone creating fun fannish things (fic prompts/challenges, RPG, etc.), if you're using words that have to do with the Holocaust, Nazis, or the ( Read more... )

There's a pretty good sale going on over at Amazon on selected DVDs boxsets. Skimming it, I noticed Veronica Mars for $14.99 and Carnivale for $19.99. Most others are a little more expensive than that, but still a good sale.

Someone asked me to upload the rest of the A&E OotP special onto YouTube. I did. If anyone else want to see it, it's in 8 parts: One / Two / Three / Four / Five / Six / Seven / Eight

It was quite interesting for a tv special.

This will be the first Harry Potter book that I've read in "real time" along with the rest of the world. The others I read long after they'd been out, and I had already been spoiled for almost everything in them by the time I got around to reading the series. So, I really don't want to be spoiled. Just to try something different this time. I don't ( Read more... )

I liked it. I really liked it. No, actually, I pretty much LOVED it.

I'm slowly sorting through the mess that was left when my external hard-drive crashed. I found this little Harry Potter mini-vid I had made all the way back in November, kind of like it was shoved to the back of my sock drawer...the sock drawer of my computer...yeah. I made this right after reading the books for the first time & having just seen ( Read more... )

I saw Goblet of Fire today! I loved it. I thought they did a really good job of adapting it & capturing the feel of that book. It's a pretty long book, so I knew going in that they were going to have to cut a bunch of stuff out. But still, I was pretty disappointed at ( SPOILERS!! )
