I'm going to Philly, sitting GA. I was waffling about going to this show, but except for when it was in the midwest, I've never missed a DBD

The Ron-Hermione stuff does get to be a little much in the third film, but that's also a product of the book. There's no use buiding up Ron if he's just going to be lying there with a bum leg during the climax. I do think the kill him-kill us complaint is probably valid

But the point doesn't apply to the Umbridge plot point. Evil wizards being in Slytherin? Kind of important. Umbridge and the Dementors? Not so much. Anklelock kind of covers it above. She's a woman who was a Ministry patsy who always wanted power, had it, and the whole movie proceeds to become more tyrannical the more power she gets, thus becoming full blown evil. With the Dementors thing, it changes it a little bit. It's a neat little twist in the book, but it's not necessary and adds nothing to the story. I want to call mole an idiot, but I like my 0% warning level. So I hope with that sentence, my point remains. The directors of the Harry Potter movies (and writers) should absolutely be making the movie into their own thing. I don't know how to make that more clearer. It's essential to the movies being successful. Whiny ass Harry Potter fans like mole were spoiled with the first two movies. With the first one, their main concern was to just not screw it up, so they got Columbus to do a straight adaptation of the book. They had to keep Columbus around for the second one because of the short turnaround, and luckily Chamber of Secrets was short enough that they could again just copy the book straight. But that's not how these movies should be made. Because.... wait for it..... Movies are a different medium then books are. Two totally different things. You have to change it up or else you get something that's bland and flat. That's why I love Alfonso Cuaron so much. Oh no! The horror! Stop being such a bitch. Do you watch the movies just to nitpick them and go: Different from book. Different from book. Newsflash: Go see a movie based on a book. Then read the book. See how many things they change. This isn't some thing that Harry Potter invented. Also in the books, Harry's eyes are a different colour. OMG! I'm sure David Yates and Michael Goldenberg sat there and said: How about after Hermione stupifys Ron her and a bunch of girls start giggling. It's not in the book, but we should totally put it in the movie just because! Here's an idea: It what girls do (stick together and giggle, especially after humiliating a boy) and it's funny. You're just nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking.

Meltzer usually double checks everything, so I don't think he'd mistake JBL for Johnny Ace. They did the tributes before the show started I assume.

Me and my friend who I'm going to RAW with have also discussed how they solve the HHH on SNME paradox, since it will be weird if when he makes his big return, he'll have already returned to the live crowd two hours ago. Given that it's MSG and he's been gone for 8 months, I think he'll get a huge pop

It's Rush Hour 3. There is no hype

Regal got his heart fixed and I also doubt he's on the gas and doesn't work a high impact style, so I don't think he's in too much danger

You have to include the Slytherin thing, since that's a major part of the series. The flying memos thing was just a line to get a laugh. It's three lines, but as metr0man said, it changes Umbridge's character (right as she's being carted off), and it also kills her asking Harry to save them. The character of Umbridge is portrayed as an evil power hungry psycho. The movie establishes this numerous times with evidence and various scenes. There's no need right before she gets taken away to be like: Look, seriously, she IS evil. It's heavily implied that the Dementors are under Voldemort's control. They don't outright say it, but connect the dots. Because it adds nothing to the movies or the characters. You've brought this up before, and it's been refuted. I love the movies and the books a lot. I think both are tremendous works. Some books I like better then the movies, some movies I like better then the books. As I've said, I think Chamber of Secrets the book is one of the best books I've ever read. I think POA is one of my favourite movies ever. The books have their good and bad points, as do the movies.

Regal's wife was good friends with Benoit's first wife and never liked Woman

Look it up on youtube. Triple H MSG. It's awesome

That was Richard Kline, Larry from Three's Company

You are a moderate wrestling traditionalist. You reject the idea of sports-entertainment but you believe that charisma still has a part to play in character development. However you also know that wrestling ability must always take priority. Most similar booker: Jim Cornette Most similar promotion: ROH 2007

I (along with another reporter) conducted an interview with Jeff Pearlman (who wrote the book Love Me Hate Me about Bonds) about Barry hitting 756. I'll let you guys know what he says when it comes out

Huh? I was at that show. Triple H got an INSANE pop, one of the loudest I've ever heard. It was insane.

Well duh. But what makes you think he took PED other then you "think"

You could have phrased that to be funnier. I'm upset with you. Damnit. Mods, close the thread please

Was it Sutcliffe calling the game? I hate Bonds, but I feel a little better about 756 after Aaron's message. Aaron's one of my favourites, and it was an honour to meet him in June. And if you're going to do it, might as well rape the ball like he did

Don't be mad- you're favourite team won today.

Seriously? I might have to see Superbad again

And that makes 2 misoginistic posts today!

Yea, eat that guy still making a lot more money

Order of the Phoenix passed Chamber of Secrets yesterday to become the third highest grossing film in the Harry Potter series. And Anakin gets it right. The first two Harry Potter movies were word for word adaptations, so when POA came out and people discovered that GASP Cuaron changed things around, all the whiny Harry Potter fans threw a fit and complained. Of course without Cuaron totally reinventing things and showing them that it's okay to leave things out, who knows what would've happened with the more recent adaptations

Because I didn't laugh at a boring skit that never ended and had no finish? Yes. That skit was funny as hell.

I think it's been well established that HTQ has no sense of humour. I'm going to RAW next week- I really wish I got the dating game skit

Anyone who hated that Dating Game segment is a liar. Tremendous
