Filthy and I spent a whopping $3 a piece to see 1408 today. It was surprisingly good for a horror flick. No gore, that's always a plus for me. John Cusack ought to get an Oscar nod, but he won't. Stellar performance, practically a one-man show. Filthy thought it was very Hitchcockian. I agree. We knew we wanted to see this one--thought we should see it in a theater and not at home, late at night, when certain ankle-biters might wake up, listen in and then proceed to keep us up all night, in terror.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix was superb! I thought the action was the best so far, especially the wizard's duel between Dumbledore and Voldemort. Harry's looking buff, but I guess I shouldn't say that until he's officially 18 or that guy from "Dateline" might come out of the woodwork. I loved the girl who plays Luna Lovegood and that Deloris Umbridge actress should really get a supporting actress nod--and she might! I may go as Umbridge for Halloween this year. Hey, let's have a party and dress up like HP characters! Anyway, Tevon (Steve) said the editing was horrible, but we don't know what he's talking about. I thought this one was the bestest. What do you muggles think?
If this is true, then millions of suckers might possibly lift a brow when they hear this, then shrug it off because really, who cares? All is well. They are pacified with their gadgetry and we're "fighting them over there, not here". Continue buying what you're being sold.

I was watching my current celebrity crush, Keith Olberman, and he ended his show with his very own HP predictions, which I thought were very good. One goes like this: SInce we know that Voldemort must be destroyed after all the horcruxes are gone and that Harry has the "key" to at least one of them, then one of them must be Harry himself. It entered through the scar most likelty, right? So then Harry comes to the conclusion that he must kill himself. Olberman asserts tha it is Snape who intervenes and tells Harry there is another way but Harry would have to give up wizarding forever. This idea is in line with the theme of sacrificing for the greater good and all. I would throw in that I believe Snape has made two unbreakable vows--one to Draco that we know about and one also to Harrry, which is why Dumbledore had so much faith in him. Remember how reluctant Snape was to make that vow to Draco? He kind of got cornered into it, didn't he? I STILL feel like Neville is ging to play a major role at the end, but I'm not sure how. And Aunt Petunia is going to factor in as well. I think I need to go back and read the older books...so that's the pprediction. Whaddya think?
This was on a friend's MySpace and I thought of one of our fellow bloggers...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14qeu7JRwt0
