Well, that date sucked. It wasn't a disaster or anything, it was just boring and uncomfortable and not-clicky. Whatever.

Five Ways to End Harry Potter. Damon Lindeloff is still an evil genius. For some reason there's a few typos in this article. Also, that picture is just creepy.
A batch of glowing and wonderful Order of the Phoenix reviews, particularly highlighting Crazy Gary Oldman. This makes me happier than you can ever know, as does the mention of Luna.
I also get a perverted sense of joy out of this one:

I saw four movies this weekend.
1. Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
This movie is GENIUS. If you've seen all the other cult classics and you're a bit of a cult movie buff, go give it a look. It appears on the surface to be misogynistic but it's actually kind of a love letter to batshit crazy women - it's misogynistic and empowering at the same time, in a sense. The script is cheesy brilliance, the acting over-the-top excellence, and the boobs are the stars in every sense. It's actually shot really well, but it's the cheesy brilliance that makes it worthwhile.
8 out of 10
2. The Fog
If Maggie Grace hadn't been in this movie I wouldn't have last five minutes. She really does try admirably, and there's some Selma Blair to spice up the movie, but Tom Welling has all the acting skills and charisma of a picture of an Abercrombie & Fitch model (I'm pretty sure the models themselves would be more interesting) and the movie is the least scary thing I've seen in my life, as well as the most confusing. It makes NO sense, and it's full of really rather heinous acts that make you feel a little sick instead of scared. Man, my wife is HOT in that scene where she's in her undies, though.
2 out of 10 - one for Selma, one for Maggie
3. The Wicker Man
I've read that the Nicholas Cage remake of this is total crap, but don't let that colour your opinion of the original. It's actually pretty good. It isn't really a horror film - it actually encourages you to sympathise with the islanders and their religion, and makes the central character hard to like. Christopher Lee is very good (and so YOUNG!) in it and the soundtrack itself is almost worth the cost of hiring it out. Britt Ekland's Scottish accent is something to behold, as well.
7 out of 10
4. Blades of Glory
Maybe it was just because of the overall suckiness of the date, but I didn't find this as funny as I wanted to. It starts out as a sort of Zoolander-on-ice, and then there's some Anchorman and a tiny bit of The Wedding Crashers and really they need to get a new idea. A lot of people said the movie ran out of steam but I feel more like it started out very slowly and then kicked into gear later on. It was nice to see Jon Heder not be stuck doing more Napoleon Dynamite, and I can see why everyone's so into Will Arnett and Jenna Fischer, they were good. The gay jokes were kind of hit-and-miss and some parts were just gross and not that funny to me, but overall it wasn't bad. Not the best Frat Pack concept comedy but not the worst, either.
5 out of 10
At some on-set Lost press thing, April 2005
And now I am off to cuddle up in bed with the one man who will always be there for me: Harry Potter, here I come. OMG SO CLOSE, YOU GUYS, TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY WE WILL ALREADY HAVE READ DEATHLY HALLOWS AND IT WILL BE OVER!
13 days - the point is of no return, and you've reached it!
