Why not? Have you ever actually listened to lyrics of songs that real teenagers love nowadays? Not exactly Bernie Taupin. Besides, they actually have unicorns and scary ghosts in HP magic world.

Ohhh...kay. I don't get what made it sound like it was written for a 6-year-old, but whatever does or doesn't float your boat.

I liked that scene. Showed they were just normal teenagers and that it was just a normal high school dance.

SS - Honestly can't think of one at the moment. The closest may be when Harry catches Neville's remembrall and everyone cheers. Or the horribly obvious CG in quidditch. But, knowing how they had to do that for the first film, I can't be too mad at that.CoS - The end with Hagrid... by farPoA - Definitely "HE WAS MY FRIEND!!!" Though I can't fault Radcliffe that much. After all, it was only the 3rd film and Alfonso should have had him try some other way of doing that. The freeze-frame at the end is dorky as all hell also.GoF - So many ... 1.) The entire Quidditch World Cup from Arthur/Amos/Cedric floating down stupidly from the Portkey to "I love magic" to the stupid-ass song they sing while abusing Ron about his love for Krum. Stupid, stupid, stupid. 2.) Entrance of the Beauxbatons students. Wouldn't have been so bad without the loud audible "siggggghhh" that they had them do. 3.) Hermione explaining to the Weasley twins why their potion won't defeat the age line. Hate, hate, hate, hate how she overacts that scene. The whole put-down-the-book-deliberately-then-turn-head-dramatically thing angers me to no end. 4.) Seamus kissing the egg and Harry saying "who wants me to open it?" 5.) Madame Maxime eating a bug out of Hagrid's beard. I mean REALLY? 6.) Bathtub scene in prefect's bathroom. They tried to make Myrtle funny there, but no. 7.) Harry flying out of the black lake and landing on the platform. Looked completely stupid. OotP - Truthfully, the only scene that makes me cringe a bit in that one is the Room of Requirement montage where Harry is giving his "motivational" speech. Oh and Petunia's streetwalker "dress" in the beginning. WTF was that?!HBP - I don't have an opinion either way on Ginny, but the three scenes in this that bother me are the RoR when hiding the HBP book, in the Burrow with the "shoelace" and when she feeds him at the Burrow during Christmas. Ugh.DH1 - Can't think of any at the moment.DH2 - Maybe the Neville professing his love for Luna line. Seemed out of place.

Noctis, you forgot DH2.

I must say that I don't know what's worse, that idiot who left the voicemail, or the people in the comments on YT defending her. Good God."I go to the movies to socialize with my friends" ..... WTF???? Go to the damned MALL if you want to socialize! This is a place where other people actually PAID to watch and hear a film.

See? Now that is exactly the kind of person that needs to be put in their place. They think the whole world revolves around them, they are above the rules and are fucking STUPID. One of the times I got someone thrown out it was a little witch like that and her stupid boyfriend. She had the gall to get smart right back to me. Yeah, didn't work so well for her.

I think I was smiling the most at Josh because it looked like he was having the time of his life up there, no matter who won. He was just thrilled to be there. His face was just constantly genuinely

Oh hell no. You and everyone else who just paid $10 to see a film had every right to watch said film without distractions. THEY are the ones who were disobeying basic movie theater etiquette, if not theater policy. No one pays $10 to miss dialogue from a movie because you couldn't hear it over entitled, rude, arrogant, selfish, thoughtless jackasses having a conversation. You are doing absolutely nothing wrong in telling them to shut up. These people need to realize that they are NOT at home and need to be mindful of others. So don't ever let any idiots tell you something like that. If they give you shit for trying to get them quiet, give it right back to them. They give you a death stare, give it right back ten fold. They tell you that you were rude for asking them to be quiet, put them in their place and tell them exactly what they are. People like that continue to get away with shit like that because too many people lay down and let them. Everyone just sits there quietly fuming in their seats instead of making them stop. Or they back down when the people get defensive when they are shushed. They can't be allowed to continue disregarding other people, feeling they own the places and thinking they can do whatever they want, wherever and whenever they want without consequences. All of us with brains and consciences have to put our foot down. Because I guarantee you, if they have that attitude at a movie theater, they also have that attitude in many other facets of their lives.

If there is room enough to move away from them, I do that. If not, I (not quietly mind you) tell them to shut up. Usually they listen to me when I tell them to be quiet, because I'm not nice about it and frankly I try and scare them as it's almost always teenagers that do this. So I don't mince words in telling them what I think of them flapping their jaws.If they continue to be ridiculous I get up and go get the manager/security. I've only had to do this twice. First time the workers allowed me to go into another theater that was about to start another showing of the same film, since I'd missed some of it. Second time I got free movie passes good for anything but 3D. Both times they kicked the little shits out because they wouldn't cooperate.

Put this here because it's Daniel. If mods want to move to TV forum that's fine. :PNBC announced today that Daniel Radcliffe will be hosting Saturday Night Live on January 14th.I'm excited to see him do comedy, he's a pretty funny kid. Hopefully the writers don't screw the pooch that week (as they usually do.)Source

ES didn't play Jennifer in the first one, unless I'm going crazy and don't remember correctly.

While watching DH2 again last night I had this thought/question:Basilisk venom destroys horcruxes. Harry is/was a horcrux. Why wasn't the horcrux inside him destroyed when he was bitten by the basilisk in Chamber of Secrets?Is this because Fawkes saved him? But you'd think the horcrux would have been destroyed the moment the venom hit him.

Don't get me wrong, I certainly wish AC and Muppets were getting more love as I thought both were wonderful. And I would certainly try my best to get my kids to want to see one of those instead.I just don't like when people say that kids are stupid for liking stuff like Alvin. Because that's not fair.

I'm not worried about anything. Just mad that I have to wait 4 weeks to see the next one. Especially after last night's episode.

But again, that's what's desirable to you. Parents are going to put themselves through whatever film their kids want to see as long as it's age appropriate. Especially if they know their kids really liked one or both of the previous films.If you take them to see something you know for a fact they'll love, there's more of a chance they'll pay attention and behave the whole time.

Who's to say they'll regret it? Because you yourself do? I know I don't regret loving anything I did when I was a kid, no matter how bad it seems to me now. Why? Because it gave me pleasure and happiness. It made me laugh. Has zero effect whatsoever on the kind of films that I like today. Why is that? Because I don't base my adult opinions on something I loved when I was in grade school. Because I realize that the mind of a child is different than that of an adult. I loved Mac and Me when I was 7-years-old. My nearly 31-year-old self thinks it's horrible and is complete crap. But I don't for one second regret the fact that I watched that movie repeatedly back in the late 80's. Because it doesn't make any difference to me that I loved something back then that I don't now. I was SEVEN. If I should have only done or liked things when I was that age if it was also something that I was still going to love 20 years later, then I wouldn't have been a very happy little kid. I'd also like to see parents try to explain that to their kids when they see a commercial for this and want to see it: "No, Timmy, you can't see the Chipmunks. You won't love watching it when you're 35 so I can't let you see it now. It's for your own good, son." That'd go over well. You two are putting way too much emphasis on YOUR late teen/adult/whatever opinions. YOU think it's annoying (for the record so do I) or YOU think it has zero wit. Obviously the kids (for whom the films are made) don't agree. And they aren't stupid or lacking in taste for it.

No, it doesn't mean any of that. It just means that little kids find different things funny than do adults. Who'da thunkit? Crazy concept, I know.Kids like silly faces, slapstick humor, fart jokes, a character doing something goofy looking, etc. They aren't looking for the same things we do in films. Hell, even in films like Shrek the kids laughed at different parts than the parents/adults did. They laughed at Donkey falling down or Shrek getting kicked in the twig & berries. We laughed at the hidden humor.Doesn't mean kids are stupid if they like films like Alvin. It means that they are KIDS.

Nope. Maybe 1-3 nods in technical categories (if even that) but won't win. I can see them doing some montage in honor of them or something, but that's it. IF that.Maybe the BAFTA's will give them some love.So unfair.

How about "Stranger Than Fiction" . I've wondered what others on here thought of that one.

I know everyone always harps on Radcliffe's acting, but I've never really understood it that much. Sometimes, sure, (I'm looking at YOU, "HE WAS THEIR FRIEND!!!)But I thought he was absolutely perfect in the post-pensieve scene in DH2. The look on his face as he's stumbling around/sitting down in Dumbledore's office is perfect. He was much better in HBP/DH1/DH2 than the previous installments.

Definitely Molly & Arthur.Lupin too, aside from him momentarily wanting to leave his wife and son in DH. Luna & Hagrid.Surprised no one's said Neville. He's my favorite character. Started out so innocently dorky that you just want to hug him, then turned into a badass.I would say Harry, but he was such a bitch in OotP that I wanted to smack him multiple times.

All I know is that I still almost tear up everytime Leaving Hogwarts comes up on my iPod. I'm so so so so so glad they ended DH2 with that.
