    Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows

    First ever pic:



    I'm kinda intrigued by the split, wondering whether a HP flick will, at long bloody last, be able to match the richness of its literary counterpart.

    I'm suddenly more interested by this troupe re-creating Reservoir Dogs.

    at this point i'm a bit hyped. book VII is, if anything, rowling coming back to form. it's also very cinematic, and if they pull no punch, the movies can be nothing short of spectacular.

    Well, last chance for them to make a truly great Harry Potter movie. Actually, they have two chances. Wahoo. I bet I'll end up liking one more than the other.

    Like the trailer a lot. Really glad to see that it seems it's going to be a proper conclusion(s).

    Wow. I haven't even liked the last couple films, but that got me pumped for the conclusion. Really impressive trailer.

    Looks like they CGIed blood off the trailer.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Watching that trailer made me realize I've completely forgotten everything that happened in the last two Harry Potter books.

    Seriously. If I think really hard, I can only recall a scene with Harry, Dumbledore and zombies.

    I've forgotten everything from the movies, except for the fact some dude with no nose wants to kill Harry and there is an entire film devoted to a stupidly convoluted challenge designed to get Harry to touch something that they could have just put in his room disguised as his toothbrush or something.

    And a lot of deus ex machina.

    Eh, ok, whatever.

    I just meant what I said - I've forgotten the plot of those books.

    Um, I meant what I said as well. I've never read the books, but the movies are featureless messes of endless exposition and pointless trials.

    First poster is kind of gorgeous, but also seems to spoil something major:

    []

    Didn't read the book, but still seemed to find out most things that happened in it at the time. The subject of that poster wasn't one of those things.

    But still, very nice image that works as a gloomy bookend to this much friendlier poster for the first one. Last couple of trailers have been pretty spiffy as well.
    Last 11 things I really enjoyed:

    Speed Racer (Wachowski/Wachowski, 2008)
    Safe (Haynes, 1995)
    South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Parker, 1999)
    Beastie Boys Story (Jonze, 2020)
    Bad Trip (Sakurai, 2020)
    What's Up Doc? (Bogdanovich, 1972)
    Diva (Beineix, 1981)
    Delicatessen (Caro/Jeunet, 1991)
    The Hunger (Scott, 1983)
    Pineapple Express (Green, 2008)
    Chungking Express (Wong, 1994)

    Concerning that poster: I'm not really surprised that what it shows happens, if only because I figured it makes sense. I've never read the rest of the series-I quit after Book 1-and I don't know if I'll start now.

    Final trailer:

    Not a huge fan of the movies - the books I love - but this does look rather bleak, epic & beautifully shot.

    I like the trailers for this. Feel just right. Hoping it's good.

    YAY!

    I'm excited. I'm going this afternoon, and I never-- NEVER-- go to films in theaters. It's too inconvenient and... dark.

    But I am making an exception!
    ...and the milk's in me.
