We are shining stars

Since KHR is still annoyingly not out yet, I took a meme from amcw177!

I. Pick 30 of your favorite movies
II. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
III. Post them here for everyone to guess.
IV. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
V. No Googling/using IMDb search or other search functions. In other words, NO CHEATING. D<

( As I happen to love both movies and quoting them, I enjoyed this. )

ETA: sob it took me more than two hours to notice that there was a really obvious typo in the first sentence of this post. SO EMBARRASSED AHHHHH.

ETA 2: Well, that's pretty much all of them. |D

1. So I saw Half-Blood Prince at 12:01 back on Tuesday night, and I know fan opinion's been mixed, but I thought it was awesome. HBP was my favorite in the series (though depending on what mood I'm in, my favorite book is also Prisoner of Azkaban and on occasion, Deathly Hallows as well), and I thought it was adapted very well. I wasn't disappointed by any of the cuts (especially if the rumor that they're going to open the next film with Dumbledore's funeral turns out to be true), and I thought they nailed the crucial scenes (particularly the showdown with Dumbledore, Malfoy, and then Snape). And it was easily the best-acted of all six films, not to mention the funniest.

Without a doubt, my favorite part was the entire Felix Felicis sequence--Radcliffe was brilliant throughout. I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. And then it just perfectly segued into the scene with Slughorn in Hagrid's Hut, and that was really well done too. Overall, I had reservations about David Yates after Order of the Phoenix (which I didn't enjoy half as well), but I'm really excited for the last two films now.

2. I finished my khr_undercover fic a few days ago! That's about as early as I've ever finished something that was on a deadline, which is actually kind of sad, lol. Anyway, now that it's done and all (and since I've discovered I have absolutely no motivation whatsoever to even try and edit it myself XD), I figure I should get this beta thing sorted out.

EDIT: Removed the info pertaining to the fic in a likely futile effort to avoid giving people anymore hints now that the guessing part of the challenge is getting underway. XD

So I spent the weekend watching random Will Ferrell movies (still haven't decided whether or not I want to see Step Brothers, but Anchorman and Talladega Nights are two of the funniest movies ever. Yay for stupidity XD) and Cowboy Bebop episodes. It was quite pleasant. |D

Belated thoughts on Reborn! 204:

( Rambling goes here )

Hope everyone who's going to Otakon has fun. <3

Aside from me injuring my back like a genius on Monday and spending the next couple days moving as little and as awkwardly as possible in order to avoid agonizing pain (thankfully it's feeling better now), this has been a pretty good week so far. For starters, I finally saw The Dark Knight on Sunday (and then again on Tuesday because it was so good I was willing to put myself through the misery of sitting in an uncomfortable theater seat for two and a half hours despite the aforementioned back problems), and like everyone else in the world has already noted, IT KICKED ASS.

( Cut for spoilers on the off chance that there are still people who haven't seen this. )

In other awesome news, this. :DDDDD

Two thoughts:

1) PLEASE BE TRUE OMG OMG OMG.
2) Screw DBZ; this is the kind of live-action anime adaptation people should be looking to make. I HOPE IT SUCCEEDS BEYOND PEOPLE'S WILDEST EXPECTATIONS AND ANIME ADAPTATION FILMS BECOME AS WIDESPREAD AND POPULAR AND SUCCESSFUL AS COMIC BOOK ADAPTATIONS. And then they make a live-action KHR movie. Because if it was done right it would totally be amazing.
