The ladyfriend wanted to have a Potter film fest over MLK weekend. I obliged, because I like most of those movies.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

^^So, the obvious question------have you introduced her to 'Wizard People, Dear Reader' yet?

[CaptHayfever]

^I tried. She doesn't handle parodies well, especially not long-form ones. Occasionally I can slip in a Wizard People joke while watching the regular movie & see her giggle in spite of herself, though.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

^Yeah, sometimes people are no fun.

When the 'Deathly Hallows' book came out, there was like ninety-five percent of camp staff slouched about reading it, and the rest of us bored stupid. You couldn't raise them. Even running around in your raincoat with a post-hole digger between your legs yelling cockney gibberish wasn't enough to rile them.

Spoiler.

Closest I came to irritating them was suggesting that, on the cover, Harry was reaching up to give Voldemort a hanjo. One of them chased me off. He had a rake. I was cackling maniacally (like what the hell did some waterfront scrub think he was going to do to me, Lord of Archery, Blowguns, Bolos, Slings, Assegais, Tomahawks, Slingshots and Siege Weaponry? I could have flung a poopy at him with enough dextrous skill to kill him and his entire extended family.

...

...it's all in the wrist).

16) The Princess Bride - A+
17) To All the Boys: Always and Forever - B. I'm about sick of romances wherein the central conflict can be resolved by a 5-minute conversation. Lana Condor is still cool, though.
18) Easy A - A
19) A Very Potter Sequel - A-
20) Howl's Moving Castle - A-

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

21) Doctor Zhivago - B+. The movie is too dang long, but the character development is really dang good.
22) Scott Pilgrim vs the World - A+
23) Fantasia - A
24) A Simple Favor - A-. Ending gets a smidgen silly, but otherwise a very exciting mystery.
25) Step Up: Revolution - D. Outstanding dance routines, weak acting, openly insulting script.
26) Motocrossed - B. A little bit late-90s girl-power, a little bit Cyrano de Bergerac.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

^I've never seen Zhivago, but 'Somewhere My Love' is pretty hard to beat.

...remember? It was in 'Super Mario'! (*grabbed by black-clad agents*) (*forcibly wrestled off-stage*) (*sounds of public execution, followed by riotous applause*)
