Hmmmm, Damien Lewis as Lupin. What an interesting notion. Although I don't recall ever seeing him a role where he wasn't ginger.

Last I heard, Lewis was filming a new series for HBO, with Claire Danes. Something about a man being detained for a suspected terrorist activity. It'd be nice to see him again on the small screen.

That said, having the Marauder generation played by older actors loses something in the translation -- life in full bloom cut short, etc.

I find the loss of all of them unbearably sad. Plus reading the books with my kids, well, I find myself identifying far more closely with the Marauders than with Harry and his generation.

What would have been interesting is if Damien Lewis had played Ron in the flash forward.

le n, I ... it wouldn't have worked, I don't think. The build is too different.

I ended up seeing Friends With Benefits this afternoon, and enjoyed it a Great Deal. It delivers exactly what is promised on the package, with a special twist to make me cry a little.

I want to see that one because of my giant crush on Mila Kunis. And then I saw a clip with Patricia Clarkson, whom I also adore, and now I want to see it even more.

Yeah, she's so pretty, and they're both so charming, and Patricia Clarkson is great, and etc. Definitely the kind of thing you'd like if you like that kind of thing.

Anyone else seen Captain America yet?

And if you have, do you also want The Howling Commandos to get their own spin-off movie?

Seriously, it's made of pink sparkle hearts and I totally blame Chris Evans.

Going tomorrow night!

This is definitely a stay after the credits movie. I'm not sure why X-Men: First Class wasn't.
