'Safe'
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.
I think HP6 was the most successful movie so far in terms of tone, and possibly the least successful in terms of story. I feel like there is so much book canon missing now that the last two movies will have to be severely retconned or flashbacked to make anything work quite right.
But thank god an HP movie was actually FUNNY! I laughed so much!
Movie!Ginny is very much not my Ginny though. Where's the fire of our fiery redhead?
Just saw HP&HBP. I never read the books but I've done a lot of reading about them and know a little bit of what was left out. My sister, who has read them was miffed at how much of the background on Snape was left out. The whole reveal about the book and who the HBP was seemed like an afterthought.
I'd rate the movies as: 1)PofA, 2)OoftheP, 3)SS, 4)HBP, 5)GofF, and 6)CofS.
Airbender live action/drawing comparison. Nice how Dev's playing the lightest-skinned of the 4.
Zukko's not burned! That's barely a sunburn. Put some chapstick on it and quit pouting!
Hobbit casting rumor:
Tennant, McAvoy and Radcliffe in running for Bilbo Baggins?
When Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro get The Hobbit going before cameras soon, Ian Holm won't be back in big rubber feet. Now three names are increasingly being rumored as options for the part of Bilbo Baggins, Dr. Who's David Tennant, Narnia's James McAvoy and Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe.
(Found at Wizard News.)
Huh. I suppose Radcliffe looks the part most, but I'd really rather see McAvoy get the role despite his very un-hobbity skinnyness.
Please keep Tennant and McAvoy away from anything Peter Jackson related!
Please keep Tennant and McAvoy away from anything Peter Jackson related!
Why?
Also, I don't think Del Toro is just going to be following orders.
Radcliffe is too damn young for Bilbo Baggins, who is a rapidly-approaching middle aged hobbit in the book. That's the whole point about him taking off for his Big Adventure--it starts out as a midlife crisis.
ita, because I really despised what Jackson and company did with LotR and really like Ten Inch and McAvoy.
