I think that's actually Roger Davies, the Ravenclaw captain.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
From today's Salon, of interest to Chicago moviegoers:
But before we start rejoicing that a movie like "Duma" can still get made, let's cut to the bad news: Its studio, Warner Bros., doesn't know what to do with it. And unless the company changes its mind, you're not likely to see "Duma" on the big screen, unless you happen to live near Chicago, where it opens this Friday for one week -- possibly longer if it does well.
"Duma" had a test run last spring in three markets, San Antonio, Phoenix and Sacramento, Calif. (It has also had a limited release in the U.K.) The picture had two showings in New York, at the Tribeca Film Festival last April, where I was lucky enough to see it. The cost of marketing a picture like "Duma" nationwide is about $25 million, and the studio, unsure of the movie's earning potential, isn't sure it wants to make that commitment. ("Duma" cost around $12 million to make.) But after Roger Ebert spoke favorably about the picture, Warner did agree to give it a Chicago release. How "Duma" does in that market will help determine its future.
Duma is the latest movie from Carol Ballard, the man who directed "The Black Stallion."

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I think that's actually Roger Davies, the Ravenclaw captain.
The tie is yellow and black, though, leading me to think "Hufflepuff." t /geek

Compassionately intolerant
Hmm. Not my image of Diggory at all. But that profile does sport the nose I imagine on Krum.
RE: The Crow: Wicked Prayer, I too watched it recently and completely get everyone's criticisms. OTOH, I enjoyed the pure cheese of it. I mean, come on, the film makers were crowing (no pun intended) about how they turned a Pinto into a muscle car!
And it was cool to see Martin Chong (Tank in the Matrix) working again after his reported flip out.
My biggest objection was that there were lines of dialogue that might actually have been interesting if one could hear them over the pounding score.
It looked like DB was having a blast being a huge goof.
Then again, I sat through all of Dracula III this weekend, so there is obviously no accounting for my taste.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
On the little blurb extra re: Sony giving people $5 for seeing films endorsed by the fake critic - where do I sign up???????
