TERRIBLE QUALITY OotP INTERNATIONAL TRAILER! FRED AND GEOOOORGE!!!!! THESTRALS! LOADS OF UMBRIDGE! BLACK MANOR!!! DUMBLEDORE'S ESCAPE!!! THE MINISTRY! HARRY SCREAMING AFTER SIRIUS DIES!!!! BELLATRIX!! EXPELLIARMUS YAY! Harry's dreams are creepy. The line about Hermione is cute but hideously out of character, and it looks like the filmmakers are STILL shipping her with Harry, the morons.

PIZONICA! Spoilers for upcoming Veronica Mars episodes.

Speaking of Chris, shirtless boyspam over at superfrayed's.

Cute icons here.

Interesting interview with Bryan Fuller, writer for Heroes.

More wrap party pics posted by the Pinkies.

Some stuff about Provoked, Naveen's new movie that isn't GRINDHOUSE OMG.

Tonight I watched The Prestige

This was a great movie if you want to think - I'd worked out some of the twists and turns by the end, but not all of them, which was really good. Andy Serkis is criminally underrated as a non-CGI actor, and the other actors were all good (although both Hugh Jackman and Scarlett Johanssen struggled with accents, and Scarlett struggled in general.) It was also a visually gorgeous film, and the tricks used were really clever.

The only flaw that I found with the movie was that, for all the intellectual stimulation and technical achievement the film possesses, I found it really hard to engage with the characters and had pretty much no emotional involvement. The women were horrendous stereotypes, and most of the male characters were unsympathetic bordering on reprehensible. It frustrated me, because I got bored at certain parts and I wanted to like it more than I did.

I saw those Pizz promos earlier and alsdkjalskdj!

I saw the Prestige not too long ago and I liked it, I've been meaning to rewatch it too..and read the book. And I totally agree about Andy Serkis.

ORDER OF THE PHOENIX OMGGGGGGGG! There is so very little I can complain about with it so far! Plus, FRED AND GEORGE! FLYING AROUND ON THEIR BROOMS!! SDKJLSDKGJKSDGHKL:SDH:SDKF!

Oh, and I can't see the Pizonica stuff. :(

Even at terrible quality that trailer was pretty nice. Fred and George and Harry's dream. I can't find anything to complain about.

Except for the H/Hr. I don't mind H/Hr. It's just the movies are so messing themselves up on that front. Are they holding out for it or just not caring? Whatever.

I saw the Pizonica pics earlier. I'm still mostly just curious about them.

Still haven't seen The Prestige. I have Scarlett issues.

If it helps, she's actually really not in it that much. She's more of a plot device than a character.

OMG Trailer!! I need to watch that again.

Since you get to have Piz, I found you some HR (shirtless) pictures.

Also, sorry for not replying to your last postcard much sooner, I've only just been able to write right-handed again! It's heaps of fun now. Seriously, my handwriting looked like that from of a child from preschool. It was horrible. Couldn't even hold the pen in my left-hand correctly.

AHHH THAT TRAILER. So many awesome parts. I am really looking forward to this one.

Can you tell me what it is that Ron is saying about Hermione?

I just wanted to delurk and say that I really appreciate your Piz-related links (along with lots of other links you give). It makes me happy. :> So.. thank you!
