  1. There was already one miracle tonight, dare we hope for two?
  2. Dead. There's no other way to describe it, I feel dead right now. Well, the good news is we won against all odds and will host the NFC Championship game next week. The bad news is we're gonna get crushed whoever we play next week. But you know, I'm feeling pretty good right now. Every game feels like the Super Bowl at this point and a win's a win. Now, if I can stop shaking, I can relax and root like hell for the Titans later on tonight!
  3. Falcons driving now, in the red zone with 2 minutes left. I don't think we keep them out but let's see...
  4. Not sure why we needed to waste a timeout there but alright. 15 - 10, can we keep the Falcons at bay for 6 more minutes?
  5. 12 - 10 Eagles entering the fourth. Can my heart take it?
  6. Well I'm back. So it was 3 - 0 Falcons when I left and now it's 10 - 9 Falcons at the half. My god, how inept our offense truly is. Just end this already.
  7. This is too painful. I'ma go out for a bit. Wonder what the score will be when I get back.
  8. Whelp, the time has just about come at last to watch my Eagles crash and burn and be put out of my misery. Well, my football related misery anyway.

  13. I'm using Chrome too. [rspoiler]your text[/rspoiler] Is how to post spoilers, just remove the first r from each bracket.
  14. Wait, what happened to my previous post? For some reason a portion of Yuru Camp and this got deleted: Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody 1 God the interface for this place could use some work.

  16. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Well that was..........alright. Seriously pretty unremarkable but I did like the chubby dude. It was awesome seeing him presumably get the most pretty girl at the end too since that never really happens in movies anymore. Not that it ever really did anyway though to be fair. Newt was a pretty dry character, kinda just the straight man only a slightly quirky one. He wasn't bad perse just somewhat bland. His love interest was just kinda there too. Sucks that the emo kid hadta die. Poor kid's entire life was pretty much pure misery huh? I actually knew about the Johnny Depp twist going in and it was just....meh. So the next one of these movies is gonna focus on him I guess. Well maybe one day I'll watch it. Not in any hurry or anything like that certainly. I guess I probably should actually mention the beasts too huh? Well none of those really stood out to me either I'm afraid. I dunno, maybe the little green bug? The movie was fine as a curiosity but I don't ever see myself watching it again. But who knows?
  17. Oh fuck, pokenirvash was actually complaining about the Harry Potter discussion when this thread has always occasionally included non-anime watchings? I have him ignored so I didn't see. What a fucking asshole.

  19. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 Boy did that end earlier than I was expecting. I was amazed that I was seeing Voldemort disintegrate at the hour and 50 minute mark. This might actually be the shortest film. It definitely runs at a fast pace, nearly too fast. There's not a whole lot of time for breathing as they try and stuff as much from the book as they can. As I said though, nearly. It still works well enough. I feel like these last two films are probably better viewed back to back, though admittedly the well over four hour run time does make that a bit problematic I suppose. I noticed the cornish pixies from Chamber of Secrets in this, another nice callback to that film. So many callbacks to that one throughout the franchise. My favorite scene in the film is definitely the King's Cross meeting with Dumbledore. His line about not pitying the dead is definitely one of the best in the series. How nice it would have been to have heard Richard Harris deliver it. Well, I guess I'm a complainer to the end on that front. I remember seeing this one in the theaters of course. I remember how silent it was when Molly Weasley finally kills Bellatrix even though that was clearly meant as a crowdpleaser moment. Eh, just glad the obnoxious bitch finally died. There's alot of controversy surrounding Voldemort's death versus the book variety where he just dies like a normal person. Eh, I can see both sides of the argument. Thematically the book version is more fitting, but cinematic-ally I can understand the desire to make it as flashy as possible. I had forgotten Professor Sprout and Percy Weasley were in this. They don't get any lines as far as I heard, I did hafta take a couple bathroom breaks while it was playing, but still nice to see both again. Of course they had to change which of Malfoy's lackeys dies to the fiendfyre because the one refused to come back, Eh, no difference to me really. Neville's moment of finally killing Nagini feels like the other crowd-pleasing moment, and it certainly is nice. It's just considering how many of the moments it feels like Neville has throughout the series, though none as flashy as this I grant you, it doesn't really come across as surprising. I'm still of the opinion that the actors in the 19 year later section look kinda unbelievable, except perhaps Ron funnily enough, but either way it doesn't really bother me. So what else am I forgetting? Snape? Yeah, Rickman was always great in the role and the revelation, while hardly surprising, was always nicely done. Anything else? I dunno. I always feel like I should have more to say. Well whatever, let me try and rank these then. Honestly past my Top 3 I'm not really even certain. But if I absolutely had to right now I guess I'd go: Goblet of Fire Half-Blood Prince Chamber of Secrets Deathly Hallows 2 Deathly Hallows 1 Prisoner of Azkaban Order of the Phoenix Sorcerer's Stone I kinda feel bad picking on poor Sorcerer's Stone. And it was nice seeing it again. It had been so long for that one when I saw it was airing it urged me to watch them all again in the first place. 4 - 7 really feel pretty interchangeable though honestly, depending on the mood. And I'd say the same for 1 - 3 just on a higher tier. I so nearly put Prince #1 just now, aw well. I see they're showing Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them tomorrow night. Now I've never actually seen that, so maybe I'll watch it.

  21. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 Or as I like to call it, the road trip movie. Yes several varied locations with much time spent outdoors, and noticeably away from Hogwarts. Besides flashbacks all we see of it is the train in one brief scene. I see they decided to keep the Chamber of Secrets polyjuice potion rule regarding voices even though the Goblet of Fire rules are correct, as evidenced by Moody. Speaking of Brendan Gleeson I totally forgot his son played Bill Weasley in this. Felt so odd seeing General Hux from the new Star Wars movies again. Nice that they were able to appear in a scene together. This is a good film, I like the sequence in the Ministry recovering the horcrux. The animated tale of the three brothers explaining the Deathly Hallows is a definite highlight. It definitely feels the most cliffhangery though, for good reason I suppose. I don't feel like waiting until tomorrow to watch the finale, but I will. I always really like that scene with Harry and Hermione dancing too, even if it doesn't really add anything outside atmosphere. The horcrux destruction scene was cool too. I always liked the booming audio that scene has, I can remember thinking so even in the theater way back now. God has it really been 7 and a half years? Feels like I should have more to say but I don't. Maybe I will with the finale tomorrow night.

  24. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Damn I enjoyed watching that again just now. Of the six films I've watched the past six days that was definitely the most pleasant I've felt while watching one of them. Which is strange because I always considered Goblet of Fire as my favorite film. I guess I still do, but this one is definitely right up there for me. It's also strange because while this is a dark and dreary film subject-matter wise, and color wise, it has such great humor throughout most of it. Jim Broadbent is great as Slughorn, he might actually be my favorite one-time teacher. And yes I know he's still at Hogwarts after this I just use the term loosely. Moody, Umbridge, Lupin, etc... That entire sequence from when Harry uses the liquid luck until he gets the memory is pure gold. And I like the memory we get right after and the trip to find the horcrux too so really just that entire section of the movie. I love the little Aragog funeral scene, it's just beautifully shot with great music and dialogue. And it's a great callback to Chamber of Secrets which is also in my Top 3. Really I love how the two are connected with the whole diary being a horcrux thing too. I read recently Rowling was originally gonna introduce horcruxes way back in the second book but decided to save it for the six. Half-Blood Prince is admittedly the only one of the actual novels I never did get around to reading too. It was the first film in the franchise I saw with my little sister who I've mentioned in previous posts. Unlike with the Deathly Hallows films though we saw this one alone. I'd say this was easily my favorite Michael Gambon performance as Dumbledore too. Still not up-to Harris level or anything, but he's easily being his most whimsical here out of all the films, and closest to it. Almost as if he's decided to be more laid back knowing his time's almost up. Plenty of his lines in this film stuck with me. I absolutely love that line he gives to Harry about kindness being a trait people never fail to undervalue. Our three leads are pretty great in this one, playing up the romance angle. The way Emma Watson plays Hermione falling in love with Ron and dealing with his little fling with Lavendar is great. I love that hospital scene where he unknowingly calls to her in his sleep. Dumbledore's got a great line there too actually. Daniel Radcliffe is great during the liquid luck scene. So wonderfully goofy. I'm reading now on IMDB that he thought this film was his worst performance in the franchise but I think it might actually be my favorite funnily enough. The wand raising scene showing solidarity after Dumbledore's death always seemed kinda hoaky to me, but in a cute, kinda endearing anyway sorta way. I had honestly forgotten Lupin was even in this movie so it was nice to see him again. Bellatrix remains as obnoxious as in the last film. And Snape, well he was always played great. The snowy scenes are still beautiful to look at, but that's true in every one of the films. Loved seeing them play quidditch in it. But uh yeah, great film. Would definitely place somewhere in my top 3. The Deathly Hallows films are up next, and they're probably the two I've re-watched the least just by being the last two so I'm looking forward to watching them again. Oh, and this is just showing the inner nerd or otaku in me I'm sure, but I always took that Dragon Balls line as a nod to the franchise.
  25. So I'm assuming this game is over. Which, yes technically it's not and all that but c'mon. So here's who I want to win next week(not who I think WILL necessarily, but who I want): Eagles - fly Eagles fly! Titans - fuck the Patriots. Steelers - as I said in my previous post. Saints/Panthers - Why the Saints? It's a shallow reason because normally I don't mind the Vikings, but their subreddit blew up when Wentz went down and they've been talking shit ever since. So fuck them.
