First I need to thank Todd and Nick for being such great posters. You guys are uber-rad. I saw Harry Potter II tonight. It was good, but unnecessarily long. I liked it better than the first movie, it had a better flow to it, and more action. However, there is one thing that bothers me greatly about the film. The character Dobby is this little elf/gremlin lookin thing that is in the movie a good bit. He is always trying to accomplish things, but has really low self esteem. He also gets very upset when he fails. And it is this that is the problem. In the movie, when he was asked to do things that he was not able to accomplish, he did all of the following: 1) Hit his head about 20 or 30 times on a hard-wood dresser. 2) Pick up a lamp and start smashing it against his head, and 3) BURN himself repeatedly with an iron. Yes, burn himself. Harry Potter, the wonderful movie that kids just love. When the first one came out, kids got out their moms brooms and pretended like they were flying through the air, playing the fictitious game of Quidditch. Now, with the new movie, with any luck, kids will be borrowing their mom's irons and burning the flesh off of their own hands, just like the cute little elf did in the movie.What kind of character is that for a kids movie? They might as well introduce "Suicidal Sally" on the next Sesame Street show. Kids do what they see. Christ.... -=RandomThoughtoftheDay=- Rememver when 7-eleven has such great flavors for slurpee's such as grape, cherry, tropical, orange, and the ever popular 'blue'? I was in 7-eleven today and here was the flavor selection for Slurpees, mind you. Coca-Cola, Vanilla Coke, Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew Blue Rush, Fanta Banana, and Sugar Free Tropico cherry or something. 4 soda flavors. 1 sugar free, and the last was banana? For crap sakes. I want flavors of things that are good and sweet, don't just add cola syrup with carmel color to ice. And sugar free? Who wants a slurpee and then gets excited that theres a sugar free flavor because they are watching their weight? The health conscious do not go to 7-eleven. Get some real flavors, if I wanted frozen cola, I would...freeze....cola... .
