CT A Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy: your Classic Trilogy Social Thread!

Hey, if nothing else I'm a born-and-raised Yankees fan, so we'll always have that difference

 

Wow! My younger sisters actually just watched that yesterday morning haha

 

The original right?? I'm not familiar with the sequels at all. But i knew i loved this movie for a reason!
Too bad it was overshadowed by Pixar's firstborn super-movie (Toy Story.)

 

Yeah, it was the original I believe. I was getting ready for work so didn't really much attention

 

kids movie or not, Balto could be rebooted like everything else into an amazing live-action story. Too bad DiCaprio did Revenant already, he would have been perfect.

 

Eh DiCaprio is a good actor and all just not really a fan of his

Still disappointed they gave him an Oscar, if only that it's hilarious he had that reputation of not winning one

And quite frankly, nothing against him, but I don't think his performance in that movie was really Oscar-worthy

 

it's hilarious that he was so well known and never won. His longing to win made him seem more human to me. Now, well now it's all down the pooper. He's gonna go into hiding like Jack Nicholson.

It was gratifying to see him win it. But it sort of had the tinge of a pity award. Just the vibe I was getting.

 

Hello friends I am Darth_Furio. This message is mod approved. heels1785



I was looking for anyone that would be interested in playing the Jedi Draftgame on the SW Community boards. It's a long standing tradition that fell by the wayside last year and I want to bring it back this year. I've applied a link to the Jedi Draft Discussion Thread here which has past games on the first page so anyone interested can see how this game works. If you're interested, add your name or ask questions and I'll answer them to the best of my ability. Thanks and May the draft continue.

 

Haven't visited this thread in awhile. How is everyone?

 

What is your avatar, Darkslayer?
cubman987 Lucky, dude. Today is my day off and then I'm working both days this weekend *sigh*

 

Captain Boomerang from Suicide Squad!

 

I've had an insanely emotionally draining few days (and I keep forgetting to eat which is annoying) but on the plus-side I picked up my copy of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child a few hours ago, so as soon as I finish some internship work I should have down a couple of days ago I'm cracking it open and not sleeping until I reach "The End."

 

I was 12 when Deathly Hallows came out, and I fondly remember devouring that book within a day, only tearing my eyes off the page to eat, drink, use the bathroom, or inform my family when a character died.

 

Finished OOTP the day I bought it, HBP was a couple days, DH, I was staying with my cousins, and finished it that day. Stayed up late into the night reading it. Didn't even look at the chapter titles before reading the book. I remember the Bellatrix/Molly confrontation and my mouth dropped but was trying to burst out laughing and one of my cousins was like "don't say anything!" Or was that Dobby's death's reaction?
Dobby's death and Hagrid getting carried off were the most emotional parts of the story imo.
Heck, I had to go back and read Wormtail's death. Completely blanked on that the first read-through.

DH, and GOF are my favorite stories of the series. Going to be interesting to see where Cursed Child ranks.

 

Yeah, Wormtail's death was really sudden and it hinged on the "Remember the silver hand was supposed to be important, guys? Remember?" thing that Dumbledore set up in GoF. That was perhaps the least satisfying tying up of a loose end in that book. I re-read the books last year and was terrified they wouldn't hold up; they absolutely did. It's remarkable how the books mature as the characters do. The first three is a charming and breezy children's books filled with wit and imagination. GoF is a transitory period. The last three are quite often freaking brutal and emotionally devastating. I mean, Deathly Hallows in particular is relentless. I'm expecting Cursed Child to be a very different experience just based on the virtue of being script-book rather than a novel, but I'm also expecting the beating heart of the seven books to remain intact. Also curious to see where the overall story ranks; it'll be hard to compare the actual writing for obvious reasons.

 

I really want to, but I haven't re-read the Harry Potter books in such a long time! Usually, if I want to relive the stories, I just watch the movies. I do think the books are superior, but I just don't have the time these days .

BTW, which Potter book and movie is everyone's favorite? For book, I don't really have an answer (b/c it's been ages since I last read them). For movie, I'd have to say Prisoner of Azkaban was my favorite. Alfonso Cuaron's directing is so refreshing after those first two movies and John Williams' score is truly magical in that one.

 

That was probably my favorite death of the series imo. Before the release, I was expecting Wormtail and Snape to overtly help Harry in the final battle. Cliche but Rowling was going to do something that blew my mind.

And to see Wormtail die the way he did was satisfying imo.

Though now I wouldn't mind seeing an alternate story where the trio ran into Snape, Wormtail and Voldemort a couple more times.

I probably should read the series again soon as well.
OOTP and DH are brutal. My mom won't even read OOTP. Heck, it takes me ages to finish it some times. Need to be in the right mood. That I'm going to devastated with no hope of a happy ending. And we have 2 more books to go. Need to read my stash of happy stories I've found to recover.

DH,
GOF,
OOTP
SS/COS/POA
HBP.
In that order.
