On The Half-Blood Prince

First of all, I know you just said you were streaming it, Hulu, but...some of us were watching The Office at 9 p.m. EDT, and waited until the commercial break. So, that was sort of a dick move. "WATCH IT HERE SO EXCITING ZOMG WE'RE NOT EVEN GOING TO TAKE DOWN THE 'WATCH THIS NOW' MARQUEE!" Lame.

As for the trailer itself, well:

This is going to be the most awesome movie ever since Iron Man. (I loved that movie with an unhealthy, greedy love.) While I still have a few doubts about various little things (shut up, Fairy Voldemort*), visually, it looks like it'll be fantastic. Draco looks appropriately haggard and sickly, "Groovy" Dumbledore is always awesome, and the Inferi are apparently Smeagol clones.

*I don't mean Voldemort is gay, I mean he literally behaves like a fairy, flitting about and talking in that completely unmenacing voice that completely ruins the entire experience for me. Seriously, all Ralph Fiennes had to do was talk like he did in Red Dragon or something, and it would have been great. Oh, and not move around like a mythical female bug thing. Sigh.

Don't eff with an effer, Hulu

EPIC FUCKING FAIL, HULU. WHERE IS MY TRAILER?

Harry Potter and the Stupidly Delayed Movie

Oh, come on.

Warner Bros., you greedy, greedy bastards. You saw how well The Dark Knight did in July, and now you want another piece of that. Nevermind that Goblet of Fire did pretty damn well in the same late-November spot and that it would have killed any other movie it went up against. Other studios had even moved their films away from that week.

And my poor future employers even put the Chosen One himself on their cover last week.

(I started writing this last Thursday, but got incredibly distracted and then Blogger crashed and everything just went all to hell.)
