It's difficult to believe how long Meet Jo Black is, and how little happens in the film. I seriously wonder if they made everybody speak and act slowly just to drag it out..
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

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.

A movie that's all padding! And they said it couldn't be done!

Imelda Staunton has confirmed that she is going to be Dolores Umbridge in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Perfect casting choice!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Oh I like her!!!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have my Batman Begins discs! Whee!

Now, don't let Joe hear you. He'll start tugging at my pant legs and pointing in the general direction of Best Buy.

Staunton is an outstanding choice for Umbridge.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Imelda Staunton has confirmed that she is going to be Dolores Umbridge
Oooooooooooh.
That's a good choice. I hope they can make her just a little fun to hate (as opposed to the pure, ugly get-out-of-my-Harry-Potter-book hate I felt for her in the book).

Just a bit more mocking of the Alice band (I love that phrase, as opposed to "hair band") and her other fashion choices might do the trick.

I think that was my major problem with her in the book, Jess. Thanks for pointing it out. She wasn;t the least bit fun or mockable. She was just mean for no reason.
