Post by: blah54 on July 14, 2008, 05:53:29 PM
the books by far... the movies miss too much of the story, and the kid/teen actors sometimes seem like they're lost...

the only thing that i considered better in the movies than in the books was the quittich (or however you spell it)... but even then...

The movies were total crap (cept for the first one, i still watch it, but they all sucked after that) by far the books were better and J.K. was stupid to say the Dumbledore was gay, there was no insinuation towards that at any point in time. In fact, i thought him and Mcgonagle had something going on!

Post by: PseudoMario16 on July 25, 2008, 08:41:53 PM
what pissed me off when J.K. said that dumbledore was gay, was that it actually bothered people. when you read a book, its supposed to be your interpretation of the book. if somebody tells you something about that book, it doesnt have to be true or false

I heard a 18 Year old Kid in London killed himself when



SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN'T READ 6&7








































SERIOUSLY, IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THEM YET, DON'T LOOK DOWN HERE





























































Okay, if you are here then you probably have read 6&7. Huh? You haven't? That means several more hours of holding down Enter!

jk.


Okay so he killed himself when he finished the 6th book and found out that dumbledore dies. I was like
"what an idiot!"

Remember this? "out of sight, out of mind?" J.K.'s act gave us something to talk about after the 7th book came out. Many non-Potter fans were happy to see it gone(no more of "read this book! IT'S NEW!!!!")
With Dumbledore being gay, Harry Potter was kept in our minds. Fans reread the books for evidence to this bizarre "fact." Non-Potter fans had to endure more talk about Harry Potter. more people bought the book because of her act (which means more $).

No, I am not a non-Potter fan. I love the series.
Dumbledore is not gay.
This was all just my opinion.

lol NOBODY thinks the movies are better- oh, and check out these things i found out about harry potter movies-

the first movie was originally 6HOURS LONG!!! obviously too long, so they shortened it by about half.
the first movie is the longest movie, but the shortest book
and vice versa with the fifth movie- its the longest book, but the shortest movie

Post by: random_goldfish on July 30, 2008, 09:50:48 PM
I think it's ridiculous the news made a big deal about J.K. Rowling's announcement that Dumbledore was gay. Good readers have to know more then vocabulary and have the ability to recongnize symbolism and theme. They have to interpret the book themselves and individually from everyone else , that's what good readers do, without the author budding in. If Dumbledore was gay it would have been well known throughout the text of the book. There is no evidence that he was gay and it's not a vital piece of information that changes the story. If J.K Rowling wanted to make it a big deal it would have been stated clearly in her series. So I think it's madness.

And for the record...I've never seen the movies.

Eragon was stupid..except the music. It had a cool soundtrack.

Super Spoiler Warning!

Just skip through this message as fast as you can if you don't want any Eragon spoilers.



























Holy shit that movie was screwed up! The Razac die in the first movie though not in the first book. THEY ARE HUGE CHARACTERS IN THE SECOND BOOK AND THEY ARE STILL NOT DEAD! Brom gets killed by the Razac, not Durza. Roran goes away to become a blacksmith apprentice not because he can be recruited.( By the way, these are all comparisons between the movie and book.) They forgot to put the giant Ruby in Tronjheim in the movie.They never even went to  Teirm in the movie which took up a good portion of the book! The books were great the movie sucked balls.

Yeah, the movie of Eragon was probably the worst Movie-Book comparison ever. I truly hated it. I also loved how they never even went into the desert in the movie but it was like 5 chapters in the book. (btw, i dont remember the names of the places) but they also didn't put in the place with the extremely harsh winds that like ripped Saphira's wings. Its all just totally off.

Personally, the Potter movies truly did suck, and i think that they would suck even more if they remade them and no one would watch them because they would need a new kid, and Daniel Radcliff is obviously too old to play a 12-year old or however old he's supposed to be.

When I read the books, (well mainly the first) there was a feeling of fun and whimsy of another world of magic. It wasn't this latin-voodoo-hexing or genie-nose-twitching, but a fun new world of talking objects, owls and stuff. I feel like the movies sucked the brilliant fun out of the books to try and make it seem grander and more epic... when it just goes against my interests...

I guess everybody's entitled to their own opinion though!

Aaaand there's 4 books in the Ender's Shadow Quartet.

Speaker for the Dead and up is for philosophical and science people.
Shadow of the Hegemon and up is for people who are interested in World War 3.  ;)
Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow go hand-in-hand for just about everybody who doesn't mind swearing.
