Harry Potter, Monday!
 
So I get to see Harry Potter 5 on monday, I feel like a celebrity getting to see it early like that.

D3V 2007-07-06 05:22 PM

Hahaha, be sure to tell everyone how he dies...

Lenny 2007-07-06 05:25 PM

Come again?

Methinks you're thinking about HP7, rather than the film version of HP5.

!King_Amazon! 2007-07-06 05:27 PM

Methinks D3v just doesn't know WTF he's talking about, honestly.

Either way, I get to see it first, nyaa!

*sigh*...i need a new penis.

Jessifer 2007-07-07 07:50 PM

I hate you.

I had to sign a release 2 days ago stating that I will not sell harry potter before the release date.

I don't think it mentioned anywhere that I cant read the end and spoil it for everyone on the internet.

I don't think I'm working that night though.

I'm not going to be touching the internet until I'm done reading Harry Potter 7. At work, I'm going to be listening to my ipod unless absolutely necessary to stop. At home, I'll have the TV off and internet off for as long as it takes for me to read it. The only thing I'm really nervous about is I'm going to a midnight release and if some douchebag ruins it there I'm seriously going to stomp on his face until he can't breathe.

D3V 2007-07-09 03:13 PM

Dude, Harry Potter is a children's book for ages 12-15...

!King_Amazon! 2007-07-09 03:44 PM

And you're kinda dumb.

The books are well written and have an engaging storyline, I know many adults who enjoy them as much as the kids do.

...Abby has had the book on preorder for months, and will be attending a midnight release as well. The books are good, but I dunno if I'd go run out for one like that.

gruesomeBODY 2007-07-09 08:14 PM

Never read a book or watched a movie. Just never was in the mood. maybe i should start.....

Vollstrecker 2007-07-09 08:39 PM

Don't get me wrong, they're geared for children in the late Grammar School to earlier High School range, but they're not too bad for younger adults either.

Think of them as you might think of some family movies, somewhere between Pixar films and Pirates of the Caribbean.

!King_Amazon! 2007-07-09 09:07 PM

Well, I've been reading them for a long while, starting probably in late middle school. The series has been coming out for a long while, so that age group is now older but still interested in the phenominal books.

Vollstrecker 2007-07-09 09:18 PM

I had only heard of them a few years ago when I was like 20 or so. They're good, but the fantasy used isn't really my style. I prefer grittier types present in AD&D and such.

Sovereign 2007-07-10 01:31 AM

My store got their harry potter in today.

It's heavily packaged with a huge notice that says STRICT RELEASE DATE: DO NOT SELL UNTIL 12:01 7/21/07"

Yeah, and I used to watch DragonBall Z around the same time and was keeping up with the storyline, but then I grew out of it, like most kids my age.

!King_Amazon! 2007-07-10 12:29 PM

I pity you, D3v.

I may not be a child anymore, but I don't have to be old either. When the time comes, I've got my shit together, but I can still have fun too.

I'm not going to be one of those old people who don't play video games and shit like that because it's "for kids." I plan to be like this for the rest of my life, I definately don't plan on getting old, or acting old, rather.

D3V 2007-07-10 01:46 PM

I never said anything about video games, lol, Just harry potter. I.. suppose. Amongst other things.

klo 2007-07-10 01:50 PM

I uhm, would take Kaneda's 12 year old sister to it :). Get to see them next month :):)

You do realize that many adults do enjoy the Disney films they take their kids to these days, right?

!King_Amazon! 2007-07-10 05:18 PM

Oh, by the way, I went to the movie last night, they overbooked on purpose to guarantee a full theater, we got unlucky and didn't get in and wasted 3 hours of our lives. Oh well. Got perfect seats for Harry Potter in IMAX on Sunday.

Vollstrecker 2007-07-10 06:22 PM

Overbooking a theater for a highly anticipated movie in the first few days it's out?

!King_Amazon! 2007-07-10 06:26 PM

Well, it was a promotional showing for critics and such. They overbook to ensure that the theater will be full. It makes sense, but still sucks for the people that don't get in. You must have to go really early, because we were ~3 hours early and they were already full. We had to wait to see if all of the critics showed up(they are guaranteed seats up until a certain time, and if they don't show up, normal people get their seats.) Only one critic didn't show up, and a family of 7 people got his seat. lol.

Vollstrecker 2007-07-10 06:46 PM

Oh, I forgot it wasn't out yet. Guess I should check in with the ouside world occasionally...

lol

I <3 Nemo. and Shrek :)...

HandOfHeaven 2007-07-11 09:05 AM

You're only 19...

Could've seen the midnight showing this morning, but Transformers was more appealing.

Well, I don't exactly consider you an adult, but you can act like it!

klo 2007-07-11 11:52 AM

LOL. Yea, I have a big kid job, a real baby, and I party hard every now and then. Yet, only 19 :). haha.

Once again damnit, you guys aren't paying attention, I only said Harry Potter. Shit I've seen The Incredibles when it came out, I watched Finding Nemo like last week with my g/f and her brother, I've seen CARS like a 1,000 times,went and seen Shrek 3 when it came out in theaters... If i wasn't so busy right now at work I could name off a million movies, but just harry potter gets to me.

!King_Amazon! 2007-07-11 01:44 PM

That's because you're a poon.

HandOfHeaven 2007-07-11 02:01 PM

I party practically every night, but I don't consider myself an adult. I would not party if I had a kid, either. And as for the big kid job, I'm going to college for that.

You're the one nutting over Harry Potter, possibly the gayest series of books and movies, of all time.

!King_Amazon! 2007-07-11 03:00 PM

Have you read them, D3v? If not, you're being ignorant(which is nothing new for you.) You're one of those people who will bash it until they actually read it and realize that it's popular for a reason.

I know, I used to do it as well. Back before I started reading it, I would bash it like crazy, and then I actually tried reading it for myself and loved it.

D3v, try not to be so ignorant.

D3V 2007-07-11 03:05 PM

For a matter of fact I did have to read the second book for class.., and the fantasy jumbled b.s. that was in the first book was nothing new, just the whole fantasy aspect of being a "wizard" is simply pitiful so boring and overdrawn, and the movies make it even worse :(

klo 2007-07-11 04:06 PM

I don't like reading about wizards, but I did enjoy the movies. The books bored me, I like to read about things that can actually happen.

slaynish 2007-07-11 04:24 PM

Stupid fucking muggles.

I don't particularly care for their depiction of magic and wizardry either, but there's something about the books that I still find enjoyable.

I'm not entirely certain what it is.
