Re: Deathly Hallows Trailer

I believe the break between the movies is right before Malfoy Manor. That's close to where I would have put it - I would have put it at Shell Cottage, because it's an emotional moment, a respite, and a point where there's a clear idea of what to do next (not to mention that from Gringotts on, there ...

Deathly Hallows Trailer

Watch it, y'all!

Really, even though some things aren't like the book in these trailers, for once, I am unambiguously pumped . I feel like the fourth through sixth movies should also have been two-parters now. (The third should just have had a screenwriter-director team with some gorram ...

I just found a great one to describe the Order of the Phoenix during, erm, Order of the Phoenix.

Twist: In fact, all the drunkards are fun-loving and affable. The screwed-up Aesop at the end is that alcoholism isn't actually a problem.

Cliche: Saintly, slight young woman is dying of consumption, and though it's strongly telegraphed, the other characters' guts are wrenched.

Re: Twist that cliche!

I don't go in much for slice-of-life manga (other than Bakuman, because the T.O. team is just that awesome), so this is kind of a shot in the dark, but...

Twist: The version they end up going with turns out to make the public space they're using into an ideal spot for an ambush.

Cliche: A back-and ...

Re: Absolute old favourites

Pshaw, any self-respecting Irish person would scoff at what you call "old". Not that I am Irish in the slightest, but I'm just saying. 1994 is not old.

One of the best damned comedies ever made, in that vein, was Katharine Hepburn's Bringing Up Baby (1938), where she's a manic, magnetic ...
