Harry Potter

Alright, so this is my final post, and why not, I say why not, dedicate it once again, to Harry Potter? Also, there are spoilers from the 7th book so do not read on if you haven't read it already. And please excuse the structure of the following blocks of text, I'm sure they will be all over the place.

So how do I rank the books? Prizoner of Azkaban is definitely first, followed by Half Blood Prince, Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix, Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets and lastly, Deathly Hallows. Why Deathly Hallows, you say? Well,

I read the book right after it was released, and I admit I did rush through it a little bit. The first time I read it, I loved it. Doesn't mean I don't love it now, but after I read it a second time and a third, I seriously over-analysed it and realised that some parts were just... uh, weird, to say the least. The most annoying thing to read is when Hermione revealed she found a couple of Horcrux books simply because she said 'Accio Horcrux Books'. I mean that, was somewhat horrible. What also got to me was that for pretty much half of the book, the trio were just hanging around, camping? Before the book was released, I had expected a dangerous heart-wrenching mission to find the rest of the Horcruxes, and although it was dangerous, it was even somewhat boring. And every single time it picked up pace, Hermione saves the day and they're back in a tent (the Bathilda Bagshot scene was quite awesome, though). Now, I still like the book as a whole, but some of those parts just make me cringe a little bit. Besides that, there were some very good parts in the book, namely The Prince's Tale chapter. The back story was just very well done and I'm sure everybody wanted to rip their heart out when Snape said his last words in the previous chapter.

I have a lot more to say about the book, and I would like to, but I'm pressed for time.

I'm sure everybody has heard about the Harry Potter theme park they're building in Universal Studios, right? They're aiming to open it between December 2009-March 2010 and I'm excited for it. I would so make a special trip out to the US to take a look. x:

And I was saving something for this post, but after that paragraph, I totally forgot what I was going to say. It was good, too.

Edit;
Oh oh oh oh and I watched Enchanted last week. I seriously enjoyed it, though the cinema was packed with kids. x: It's a very sweet fairytale and I would recommend it, but uh it can get a bit cliche. But hey, it's a fairytale so what can you do? And James Marsden is the shit. <3

Blog?

So let's get this thing done.

Okay, so Perezhilton.com. Most people should know this blog, as it is quite popular. Perezhilton.com is the home of a gay American blogger, Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr. He simply writes about celebrities and his opinion on each piece of news that comes out. Within the first six months of his blogging career, the site was named 'Hollywood's Most-Hated Website'.

Although he is popular, many despise him due to his straight-forward opinions and sometimes cruel slants on others and this can be seen though the comments on each of his posts, which always has some abusive comments directed at him.

Many online readers rely on his blog for celebrity news, and Perez is sometimes one of the first people to get celebrity news to the world (see What Is Going On?). Besides regular readers, many celebrities also read Perez's blog for information and often refer to Perez in interviews. Wikipedia states that Fergie also wrote a song about Perez. "Fergie has confirmed that she is referring to Lavandeira in her 2006 song "Pedestal" in which she criticizes an unidentified person for making negative remarks about her on the internet."

Perez and his blog definitely has a big influence on the celebrity community and this can be further reinforced by the 'outing' of a few celebrities because of Perez including Lance Bass and Niel Patrick Harris.

Okay, let me die in peace, now.

B5

I do not know if anybody is into Sci-Fi, but personally, I'm a huge fan of it. And one particular series has gotten me drooling. B5, or Babylon 5. I have watched the series over and over again and I never get sick of it. The storyline is incredible and fits together so well. So many times while watching the show I've been shocked due to the storyline and how each episode is linked. The characters are beyond amazing, and I'm just rambling on now. I uh, won't comment on the special effects, though that is one major factor that got the series recognition.

The show consisted of 5 seasons with 22 episodes in each and each season represented a year at B5. I can't stress how good this show it, and I recommend everybody to go watch it if you're a Sci-Fi fan. But then again, fans probably would have already watched it.

And one last thing. The ending to the series was one of the best damn endings ever. I cried my heart out.

Star

So, I watched 30 Days of Night today. I know, very late, but what are you going to do? I was a big big big fan of horror movies a few years ago, but now, for some reason, I just don't want to watch them. I have no idea why I watched this, but the storyline was somewhat attractive?

It was not a very scary movie, but I would have begged to differ if you had asked me at the beginning of the film. I don't know why, but not knowing what you're dealing with is scary. Once I saw the creatures' faces, the whole movie just calmed down for me. It's just like the Alien movies. I'm a huge fan of the Alien movies, and I must admit when I watched them I was freaked out (just a little x:). But once the aliens were revealed, I could watch the movie in peace (jumpy peace).

Hopping around that, why is it that once you go out of your way to find something that you really want (and find it), you start seeing it in regular places you go? =_=;;
