To put it in 80's (aka Circus) venacular-"Gag me with a spoon!" I have no interest in corporate franchises. Gimme ultra low budget stuff any day.

Huh_? Is that a recomendtion or a pan?
Methinks Heroes de vores are more the better if hot mustard is applyed.
Horseradish is not the bane of Hyeperbotia-but it's salvation! Without spicy condominets-we'd be reduced to wars of the trade of ketsup and mustard!
And Hot sauce and horse radish will overcome us all.Begorea!

about 5 yrs back I decided to give the first book a go, read page 1 and gave up.

then recently I caught the last 45mins or so of one of the films on tv and thought it was quite entertaining actually, in a 'feel-good kids fantasy' type way. (possibly not the best phrased analogy there)...I think if I was 10 years old I would probably be a HP fan, although having said that I've never really dug the whole wizards-and-goblins thing in general, so who knows...but the concept of adults being full-on into this stuff I find a tad strange.

Hmm...

Quote from: C.S. Lewis"No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally – and often far more – worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond."

Personally, I find all the people who are REALLY into almost anything (politics, Star Wars, literature, their own children, you name it) a tad strange.
