That's like John Smith in China Ugh who gives a loving poo poo she was a haggis-gobbling piece of eye candy for Harry for like 5 minutes screen time, she sucked, Harry sucked, the wizarding world sucks, Hogwarts was a school you sent children you didn’t want to get back, and the Dursleys knew it!

I haven't watched any post-9/11 Eastwood movies because my top 20 of all time has TGTB&TU at #2 and Unforgiven somewhere around #15, and I don't want them tarnished by his insane right wing bullshit. See also: Road Warrior at #5 and me blissfully knowing that Mel Gibson died in a plane crash in 1998 inside my mind palace

Quantum of Phallus posted:genuinely the worst film i've seen in years It was funny how they couldn't think of anything for the female agent to do, so they send her into space in the first one, then blow her up with a missile in the first 10 minutes of the second one. Samuel L. Jackson, Elton John and Julianna Moore were great though.

I spent the entire second movie waiting for her to show up and it to be revealed that she had survived somehow. And at the end I was like, huh I guess she's really dead

The Kingsman is bizarrely, a LoEG remake decades later that gets almost exactly the same things wrong.

I can't really blame the filmmakers or even latter day rowling for the wizard duels being terrible, to my memory she pretty much always thought they would consist of two lasers pushing against each other until one wins and wrote them as such

from five pages ago... I probably didn't give Hannibal a fair shake because I was going into it thinking it was going to be a serious psychological suspense thriller show. I didn't realize everyone was saying it was "really good" as a joke. I mean I love overwrought campy circular dialogue that thinks it's really clever and stupid hamfisted plotting as much as the next guy, just let me prepare my palette at least

After Harry wins that duel Voldemort's wand stops working against Harry, and you have some scenes where that happens, but DBZ style beam clashes are just not a thing that commonly happens in the books and are in fact a result of the creators of the movies not having any better ideas of how to show magic on screen. Rowling wasn't very good at describing magical combat in any case, and most of her combat involves inexperienced children so it isn't a good sample to begin with.

i was flipping channels and saw about 5 minutes of Cry Macho the scene, broadly, concerned Eastwood, a Latino youth, and a Latino cop... it was a "not all white guys are bad" sort of thing... it was... quite bad
