I HATED the Umbridge parts in the book
Two words--Blood. Quill. That's going to be damn creepy.
I'll join that bandwagon. Though there's only so much they'll be able to do, even in a 3-hour movie. And the detentions are an obvious place to trim.
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

They could show it once instead of the numerous times it appears in the book. I think it is necessary to show how awful Umbridge is.

There's a rumor on the Internets that Robert Altman just passed away. Can anyone confirm or deny?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh no! So sad.

I was just coming to post about that (CNN.com doesn't have any details other than he's passed away).
Sad, but he had a great run. Corwood, the timing on the High Hat issue is a bit eerie.

We're working on a rewrite of our editorial comments right now.
He did indeed have a great run, and he was a hell of a brilliant filmmaker, such an original that his followers can't seem to capture his seemingly effortless ability to combine naturalistic dialogue, improvisation, ensemble casting, and (in his great movies, at least) his profound belief in humanity, for good and for evil.
Anyone care to participate in an Altman deathmatch? Or make some Altman lists?
