I think it was one of the blue ones.

It would probably make more sense, given the opinion of every physicist of note, to have a world in which time travel cost far, far more than the average life insurance payout.

I actually think the two work better apart.

I think franchises should move forwards, not backwards.

Sure, I guess. James Bond survived Die Another Day, and Batman became good after Batman and Robin. X-Men survived the dismal X-Men: The Last Stand with 2 decent and 1 meh film afterwards. You could argue that Spiderman is on the same path towards redemption, but time will tell.

I think the films were quite well done, all things considered. They weren't perfect transliterations, but HP was never going to be that - and the books aren't perfect themselves. I guess my biggest issue, other than the goblet of fire, is the overseriousness of OOTP, and the overcorrection of the half-blood-prince.…

The problem with the games is that they just follow the story that we've seen twice over, in the books and the films, and they're almost always done better both times. And, of course, the games just aren't very good, as no movie tie-ins are.. If they licensed the HP franchise to someone and let them make a completely…

Oh, we all wish we could forget the 4th indy film. But we can't. It's our curse.

I love how, in this comment thread, everyone forgets the existence of the 4th film. Cos if you thought the others made no sense, my god, they took it to a whole new level of incomprehensible.

A Harry Potter RPG NEEDS to happen.

Eh, call me when she comes up with midichlorians. Then she's gone full Lucas.

The Hobbit? Is it the Hobbit?

Ah, that's the issue with splitting film adaptations. You end up having films which lack resolution and kind of just end in the middle. Then you gotta wait like 9 months for the story to actually resolve.

Well, the magic community is mostly rural, and the urban ones are in the same cities as muggles i.e London, New York. So the muggles would be nuking themselves, or nuking the english countryside. Teresa May can't even sell us on brexit, never mind blasting huge craters in the lake district, because of magic folk.

Do you think that, if the later films had either been LOTR length or split into 2, that they could have been better?

Eh, I'm not so sure Azkaban is a gitmo parallel. The third Harry Potter was written before the whole patriot act bs got out of hand, and they're both scary places but they're kinda scary in different ways.

Have you tried bean boozled? If there are 3 vomit flavoured beans, then it is a bowl of vomit flavoured beans.

'Very famous', 'Bach scholar and musicologist'.

As I said, once something is said, it can't be unsaid. Likewise, once something is shared on the internet, it can never be unshared: it could, realistically, be on the storage device of anyone who has ever visited the place where it was shared, along with any of numerous archival resources. though, I will stress that…

Of course, this is why good laws take a long time to write. Doing em quick might send a message and might end he certain injustices the law is designed to end sooner, but it will invariably either make something unintended technically illegal, or it will leave loopholes which clever people can use to avoid punishment.…
