Consuela, that vid was awesome, and I haven't even seen the last two movies. Just my memories of how easily Neville could have been the hero of the story, and my love for his steadfast underdoggedness (I think I began resenting Harry at one point). Wrong thread, but I always wondered if JKR meant for the parallels to be so strong, for there to be someone who could have been Harry/for Harry to not be so special or unique, or if Neville was accidentally awesome and left-field.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

It seems to basically come down to "fair use?" "not impinging on profits?"
ita, how do you even read the comments on io9? I can't figure out that interface atall.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There;s an extension for Chrome and Firefox that makes it mostly look like before. But the answer is pretty much "I don't." I probably read 3 or 4 articles a day, as opposed to not reading that many a day. I browse in Opera. And I understand why the guy writing the patch out of the goodness of his heart isn't catering to my platform. It's Denton that's driven me away from his sites, the shitstain.

Ah, I see. I don't get the argument, that it's better not to have readable comments. Why have comments at all, then?
Anyway, thanks for the link in the tech thread--I've installed both extensions.
To bring this back to more relevant topics, here's a lovely DW vid about Eleven: [link]
(I do love Vividcon season!)

I honestly think he's keeping them there for two reasons: a) offchance Robert Downey Jr or other celebrity will stop by and dish the dirt under a fake name and b) he can monetize somehow. Both angles fit very well with every interview he gave around the time of the rollout.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I knew I wanted that Neville vid after I saw it. It was an obvious thing I had not realized.

I knew I wanted it about 20 seconds in, as soon as I realized what it was. So lovely.

Speaking of which, Perkins, I have your con DVDs. Email me your address?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
WOOT!
And done. Let me know how much I owe you.

Anybody have VividCon DVDs left? Or did Lee snag the last batch? After seeing that Eleven vid and the premiere vid on tumblr, I think I really need them.
