But J.K. vetted the script and made them put Kreacher in. I wonder whether the "Mudblood" ended up on the cutting room floor for some reason.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
The only way to stay sane when both reading the books and watching the movies is to treat the movies as "Highlights from Harry Potter."
Anything else is asking for headaches.

Well crap - I'd stayed unspoiled for Fight Club for years until reading that shirt.
I have to give credit to JK for putting in a fair amount of wand-innuendo as the kids got older.

Aw, crap, I'm sorry! I think I had already seen the movies or known the spoilers for all of them except 300, which I didn't even realize could be spoiled.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Why didn't you watch Fight Club years ago?

I think most of them, if you saw the shirt, you wouldn't know what they were referencing unless you'd already seen it.

I've tried to watch Fight Club a couple times, but couldn't stay with it, and somehow I never got spoiled-by-osmosis.
I mean, I knew what "Rosebud" signified years before I saw the movie, and I've never seen Soylent Green, but that spoiler's hard to avoid...but I didn't even know Fight Club had a twist. I thought it was just annoying.
(OK, not the movie thread, got it)
Hey! HP topic: How come only two of the Horcruxes could talk/seemed to have intelligence? I'm thinking of the journal and the locket, not Harry and Nagini, btw. And is it pronounced "hor-crucks" or "hor-crew"?

I hope it's the former.

I hope it's the former.
Despite Rowling's tendency to name evil things à la française, I've always assumed it's "hor-kruks".

Speaking of spoilers, the onion weighs in on "Deathly Hallows":
Final Harry Potter Book Blasted For Containing Spoilers
NEW YORK—Harry Potter fans throughout the world were shocked, disappointed, and outraged to learn last week that J.K. Rowling's 750-page novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, blatantly answers every looming question in the 10-year-long saga, even going so far as to divulge what happens to key characters 20 years into the future.
"The whole experience is completely ruined for me," said 25-year-old fan Ethan Clay, adding that the book builds up suspense, and then, without warning, gives away vital, plot-altering information. "The least [Rowling] could have done was put a spoiler alert or something on the front cover."
