The spelling errors were a bit distracting. Especially "Lula Lovegood"
Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.
Especially "Lula Lovegood"
Particularly since the writer had it correct as Luna on the first instance.

That's perfect.
We saw Ratatouille today, which was, as previously reported, delightful.
Hey Cor!
I just found out that my introduction has been discovered and kicked about on a Tom Waits forum. Mildly nerve wracking.
Reaction is mixed, though the positive reviews seem genuinely intrigued and enthusiastic and the dislikes are wondering if the whole book is like the intro, or is more directly focused on the record. (Which it is.)
Well, I saw HPatOoP today. I liked it much more than the last one, almost as much as the third one. I guess HP movies are the opposite of the Star Trek movies. HP odd numbered ones are the better ones.
I haven't read the books so I judge them as movies. I agree with so much that has already been said so I'll just add a few odd thoughts I had. First, there were 3 trailers for fantasy films before the main show. I said to myself "I blame Peter Jackson for this" but I'll probubly see at least 1 or 2 of them when they come out.
While some of you were marveling at Radcliffe's hottness, I was laughing to myself at the fact that all of the young cast have gotten taller than him. By film seven he will be wee Harry Potter the-little-wizard-that-could!
It took me so long to catch up that that is all the coherence I have left. More, hopefully, intelligent thoughts tommorow.
Was the girl who played Luna from some previously unknown British branch of the Fanning clan? She was scary good.
I also have to say that the producers lucked out big time with Daniel Radcliffe -- of the three kids, he's the only one I can really see having an acting career after this is over. (After a looooong period where he does only stage work just to give the audiences time to disconnect him with Harry Potter.)
Emma Watson signed a $4 million deal to be the new face of Chanel. She probably won't have to act much.
But I hope Grint's invested his Potter money well.
I still need to see the film. I'll try tonight.
I saw Grint in a British film earlier in the year. He's passable.
Daniel Radcliffe can act. Really well. Although the next play he takes should probably include less horse fucking.
What he needs is a turn as the MC in Cabaret.
I think Rupert Grint could have a reasonably successful career playing the goofy best friend in romantic comedies. But I don't think he has much range beyond Ron.
Emma Watson is very pretty.
Although the next play he takes should probably include less horse fucking.
See, I think that sort of role is the best possible thing for him if he wants people not to see him as Harry Potter.
And now I must go watch the DR episode of Extras again. Just 'cause.
