So, despite reading bad reviews about this film I wanted to see it. I am a connoisseur of Gay and Lesbian films after all. I have seen both good and terribly bad independent low-budget Lesbian films.

Unfortunately, Claire is a bad one.

Claire and Noel are two female writers who end up sharing a cabin on a writers retreat. They are played as the “odd couple” with conflicting habits. Including Noel being a very straight-laced organized person. Also very conservative. And Claire being a very messy and unorganized person. Also very loose with her… Read This

Recently, I headed back into the journey of Xena and Hercules. The good thing about watching one of your favorite dearly departed shows after a long time is that you’ve forgotten most of it. The funniest thing about the Xena, Herc years of my life is the fact that I pretty much didn’t watch a lot of it "in sequence" as they were part of the era of "syndicated TV" series and, because they belonged to themselves and not networks, they tended to jump channels or time slots and sometimes disappear for months at a time before I found them… Read This

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, huh?

I can’t decide if I like that title or not.

I remember thinking immediatly that “Star Wars : Attack of the Clones” was the stupidest title I had ever heard for a Star Wars movie. And I still think so.

“The Deathly Hallows” on the other hand could be intriging. Unlike “Attack of the Clones” is doesn’t sound cheesy on it’s own. I just can’t decide if I like the title because of the “Harry Potter and the…” at the beginning. As a pair they’re just not running off the… Read This

Happy Birthday to me……..

I am so happy right now that “happy” isn’t even a good word for it. I had a GREAT day. One of the better … if not the best… adult birthday of my life. And it wasn’t because of any gift I physically recieved, it was just because people remembered and were nice. Running jokes were abound about me and my (ex)crush during class today, but we both had fun with them. She is so my buddy right now. I really like her and not in the way I use to, but in a different… Read This

It’s been a long time since I’ve written here and this will be a long one…

So most of my fellow Harry Potter fans have read Jo’s rant on Hollywood’s super thin obession. I myself was given pause by it. For the past 6 weeks (I’m in week 7) I have been quite obsessed with designing my own person weight loss plan. I applied for “The Biggest Loser” in fact, but alas, they didn’t want me. So decided “screw the TV show, I want to lose weight”. I didn’t need a reality show, I just had to… Read This

I’ve honestly been waiting for “Goblet of Fire” the movie forever. Before “Half-Blood Prince” stole the position, it was my favorite book in the series. And now that’s true for the film series. Which is odd because I consider myself a purest and the film, honestly was the cliff-notes version of the book. It hit all the important points so fast it sort of startles you the first time round. There’s exactly one class (mostly to introduce the unforgivable curses). And The film is mostly the Tri-Wizard task and the Yule ball (with a few scenes here and there to… Read This

It’s October the 18th – exactly one month before the release of “Goblet of Fire” the movie and MY BIRTHDAY. Yes, today, the 18th of October, is the 26th anniversary of my birth. So I sing to me “Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to meeeeeeeeeee. Happy Birthday to me.”

Unfortunatly, there’s nothing particualarly special happening today. My mum did get me a laptop, but it’s on-order and allegedly not due to arrive until November. So I just wanted to sing myself the birthday song. … Read This

It’s been a good couple days for Ron images. And I got my assurace that Pig is in the film, so I’d like to amend my previous rant about lack of Roness. As the new images coming out seem to be more kind with the Roness and as scans come by way of folks with less of a character preferance, more Ron seems to be coming our way. So maybe I was a bit quick to judge the promo people at the WB. It seems fan preferances were actually the cause of the “flood of Emma” that seemed to be… Read This

I know this is a bit of REALLY off-the-wall randomness, but does this picture of Harry in Goblet of Fire remind anyone else of Luke Skywalker with a lightsaber?

This is a rant I just needed to get on with.

I have no problem with H/Hr shippers and am quite okay with them gushing over the occassional promotional photo of the two together. But good lord, is the Promotional wagon of the WB promoting a film called Harry and Hermione’s Goblet of Fire. Or worse, Hermione Granger and the Goblet of Fire (We already had to live through the promotional wagon that was Hermione Granger and the Prisoner of Azkaban).

I HAPPILY ship R/Hr in canon and (oddly enough) think Dan and Emma look unbelievably adorable together… Read This
