HP7:P2 Trailer Oot!!

The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 trailer is oot! (I like saying oot instead of out because Canadians are funny. They are also irrelevant to this post.) Wow. It really looks incredible. Watch it!

Badass Apple HD trailer available here. Actually, yeah just go to the Apple trailer because it's way better than my embed.

SPOILER(S) ALERT! (my thoughts, feelings, reactions)

I love all the glimpses at the Snape memories. They look off-kilter, a little disturbing, but also beautiful and nostalgic - and that's from about five frames alone!

That "Harry throwing himself and Voldy off the tower" thing seems a bit odd, but maybe it will work in context?

Love the hint at the Bellatrix vs. Molly duel!

Everybody's dying!!! I feel like they show a ton of the deaths in this trailer, but really you'd only know who/what is going on if you've read the books so it's not really that spoiler-y. (Of course me talking about it is, though, but if you didn't want spoilers you shouldn't have kept reading!)

On that note - Freeeeeeeeddddd!!

Overall the look feels nostalgic (I can't believe it's almost over!) and magical (Wands! Pretty floating things! Dragons!) like always, but also super gritty, action-packed, and dramatic to show that we're not just dealing with Harry Potter anymore - now we've got Harry F**king Potter.

And I'm ready to join the fight.

Stop it.

Stop it, Golden Retriever Puppies, just stop being so cute. Because one of these days I won't be able to help myself and I will steal one of you. And then I'll spend all of my (meager) earnings (and by earnings I mean savings since I am unemployed - er - "freelancing") on you and give up on finding jobs so I can play with you and then suddenly - spoiler alert - I won't have any money left and we'll both find ourselves living in a cardboard box near the puppy exchange at Union Square asking for pennies to pay for kibble. Do you want that, Golden Retriever Puppies, do you REALLY want that?



I rest my case.

The Men Who Stare at Goats

The question isn't "Who's excited about this movie?" Because, spoiler alert, nigh upon everyone and their mom is.

The question is, "Who else is excited about this movie because it brings goats into the film-comedy world?" Because, double spoiler alert, I am thrilled.

Although I do hope it goes better than their action/family debut in Jurassic Park...

New Poll! Retro-SAT Version!

Alright, so apparently you aren't allowed to fake-curse on Blogspot, as my poll that included a hilarious "bleeped out" cursing Glenn Beck character "was deleted." Eesh. Therefore, I have just turned it into a retro (my era) SAT version.

Will you get a 1600?

Spoiler alert! There are no wrong answers. I really just wanted to use the word "Yowl."

Cats are Manipulative. Deal with It!

I must have seen at least 20 links to the article about how cats adjust their whines to make their owners feed them more or pet them more or do whatever the crap they want.

Spoiler Alert: Everyone already knew that!

I'm not saying that cats are dbags or anything, but, come on, as far as pet-to-human manipulation goes, the cat takes the cake. You're never going to see a dog who doesn't have his heart on his sleeve. You pretend to throw the ball, your dog will chase after where you would have thrown it (note: you are the dbag in this scenario, as dogs following where you're pointing is what separates them from wolves psychologically and allows us to communicate with. So stop devolving our relationship with our best friend, please!). Cats, on the other hand, use reverse psychology by ignoring you and pretending they don't care so that you get so desperate for love you overfeed them and they get fat.

The manipulative whine is just icing. And, Sunny, that's metaphorical icing, not real icing, so please remove your paws from my kitchen table. Good boy.

Spoiler Alert!

Back to sugar-induced nightmares... Lame!
