“That Bitch J.K. Rowling Hates That Jerk Daniel Radcliffe”
How else are we supposed to interpret “J.K. Rowling Won’t Write More Harry Potter Books to ‘Reward’ Daniel Radcliffe”? Oh, wait…

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (review)
I’m almost entirely sure that no one who has not read The Deathly Hallows will be able to grasp what’s going on. The film is damn nigh impenetrable without the background of the novel, and all the previous novels in the series. It was almost impenetrable to me, who has read all the books, at least on an emotional level.
watch it: “Daniel Radcliffe sings ‘The Elements’”
Just the fact that Daniel Radcliffe knows who Tom Lehrer is makes me kinda wanna smush him and do nasty things to him that he’d love.
Stephen Fry is Mycroft Holmes; Emma Stone is Gwen Stacy; Armie Hammer is NOT the Winklevi (but he kinda is); more: leftover links

It’s perfectly expressed by … more…

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (review)
So, is this the fourth Harry Potter movie, or the fifth? It’s the sixth? Really, already? Ah, that’s the one where Harry goes to the magic school, which has yet another new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, right? And Harry fights the evil wizard?
watch it: ‘Battlestar Galactica: The Face of the Enemy: Webisode 1’
Well, if there was any doubt about whether or not we’re at Earth, this seems to have settled it: “Nine days after the discovery of a devastated Earth,” says the intro at the beginning of this webisode, “Lt.
