Luna? She's creepy. Funny, happy, pretty, but creepy. They did a good job on that, didn't they? They portrayed her great. And Umbridg, too - I mean, the friggin' look on her face during the fireworks scene...priceless. I've had teachers like that...whom I've wished I could do something similar to. Also, I honestly didn't think anything of Harry describing Cho as "wet" until you guys pointed that out. Some people have sick minds. :notalk:

Yeah, I noticed that too. :?

Dude, I'm not saying aliens/portals don't exist. I'm saying just consider other options first, don't jump right to that. Same goes for the flints thing. (They could exist, but for one thing I don't see why they'd care to abduct one car, with some people driving in it, and then just put it down unharmed, somewhere else. Alien college students? Aliens pranksters? Drunk aliens? I mean, aren't govnt. officials better abduction targets? :?) Thank you for the compliment. I never said aliens don't exist. I said try considering other possibilities. Read what I wrote above.

Obviously you were a start on your high school track team in the Long Jump to Conclusions event. I mean, you go right to portals and aliens without considering the fact that they just dozed off, forgot, were intoxicated, were simply so wrapped up in the current events that they didn't realize that they'd driven too far the other direction, had a bug with the clocks in their car, which happens sometimes; or any other number of logical conclusions? I mean, sure it's odd, but you could try considering logical explanations before you jump right to "z0mg portals and aliens!!!"

I hope you realize that around 75% of this forum's members are too young to vote on this. Myself included. Around half of them probably don't even live in North America.

And so what if I wanted to point out a glaring flaw without needing to pick apart every inane statement in that paragraph? Some of us have better things to do, most of the time. Like have premarital sex. z0mg i'm calling the gestapo Hmmm, I'd say that translates to "z0mg i just lost".

If I were to try to explain this logically, I'd say they ended up somehow (A parent, maybe) on a top shelf in the living room, near to the ceiling; something fell on that shelf, hence the BOOM, and then knocked the flint pak down. It appeared as though it had fallen from the ceiling. If it had been a portal, there would probably been a flash of light. Or some other twilight-zone-ey effect. Of course, you could always try losing a shoe or a pack of gum in your room on purpose, then waiting to see if it, too, falls through the same "portal".

SoBe Nirvana.

Says the guy who takes one line of text out of context in several paragraphs of writing. I'm not talking about this thread though. Then don't bring that up in this one? Stay on topic maybe? Lining up eh? That looks like one person. I don't exactly call that lining up; whereas your opposition contains several people, such as Zonorhc, Suzi, and Goddess, all of whom are quite respected members of this forum. You're not. Also, Serephus looks like he was more making a joke than actually trying to insult someone. Also you spelled "received" wrong.

Just got back from seeing it. Having read the book, I knew what was going on, but it still felt like a rushed orgy of scenes at times. I sympathize with the producers though, I mean, you're trying to make an 800-something-page book into a 130 minute movie -- a lot has to be left out. Some things of note: [hide=Zomfg Spoilers]*I think they f---ed up the Cho Chang thing. Their kiss looked to real, too expert, too like they'd done it before. The book describes it as being sloppy. "Wet," as Harry aptly puts it. *The fireworks scene was awesome. I love that look of powerlessness on the face of authority. * The battle and duel were done very well, but a bit too much time was spent on them. * I thought it funny when, at the end of the Ministry scene, after Voldemort vanishes, everyone's standing there staring, and then Fudge just goes, "He's Back!" I'm like, "*clap clap clap* Good Job! You finally got it!" Couple people in the theater looked annoyed, but a bunch laughed. *Bellatrix Lestrange was portrayed so well. What an evil, insane chick she was. [/hide] All in all, a good movie, though I still liked the fourth the best.

Oh my god... You already have a thread for this. Which is full of no one agreeing with you. Please shut up; or post on the other thread. *ahem!* Ehm, Emporer Palpatine. Not purely video game, but still a villain. The thing I like so much about him is that he's realistic -- you see his type all over the place, in the real world. The power-mad authority type. And, er, I like Star Wars, including Star Wars video games. EDIT: That or Bowser. Can't forget the classics.

And that is opposed to being irritated by fanboys who are loyal to a company who have admitted that every single one of their consoles is defective in some way? Fuh? Which one? And do you mean me? I'm not "loyal to" any company. I'm not really a fanboy of anyone, I kinda like Nintendo and the Wii, I have a DS, that's about it...Yes the Ps2 was good, the Ps3 isn't. Overpriced, I say. I guess I may as well stick with the good old computer. Not as much fanboy-ism there.

That depends on where you live. In the US I believe it's illegal to kill animals such as deer unless they are in season. There are also hunting limits, and I'm pretty sure if you shoot your neighbor's dog for no reason, they could have a legitimate lawsuit (Destruction of their property, plus emotional distress, both come to mind). I hate the "animals don't matter" mindset. Sure, they may be lesser than humans, in several ways, but they still matter. They feel pain, you know.

Sony sucks. (Sorry, I just had to say that.) Okay, I edited so this isn't complete spam. The Ps3 is losing to the Wii and 360, and the PSP isn't that great a handheld when you get down to it. Sony fanboys irritate the hell out of me, I'm sorry.

Teh best way to cheat death is 2 put points in2 teh Necromancy skill. Duh. I suppose my closest real life experience was when a big fatty-fat tree branch fell on my head, and if it'd been a few inches over so that the main part hit me instead of a little side branch, it would probably have killed me. Instead it's a minor head wound, only needs a coupla stitches. Not a really major death-cheating story though. I've heard of that happening, did you see a tunnel? A bright light? Did deceased relatives try to speak to you? Was there a giant monster made of spaghetti? ( :P )

Oh my. You just had to bring this up, didn't you? :notalk:

I don't like the anti-government hippies either, but I do think the government tries to suppress us, and keep us stupid. Yeah, I mean, some people take anti-establishment, government conspiracy, etc. to an extreme. Like those Loose Change guys. (See Maddox's page on Loose Change here. See here also.) I mean, governments like people willing to follow them, without question. Any authority does. You probably would, if you were in an authoratative position. No authority likes being questioned. However, I don't think they make big eeeeevil conspiracies about it, nor that I am a sheep for believing this way.

If prayer makes you feel better, go for it. Placebo effects FTW. I'm not going to say what I believe/do on the subject; just that it seems to be at least a psychologically effective way of making oneself "feel better". However, if prayer replaces any possible action you could have taken yourself (i.e, I'm gonna pray the children in Africa get food, instead of say donating to charity), then that's a situation where prayer is not helpful.

And you = over-generalizing. Those conditions don't always happen, not everyone who has premarital sex has an unwanted baby (cough, cough, use condoms). Not everyone who has premarital sex gets an STD either. (cough, condoms, cough. Again. But I guess your church prohibits that.) She's realistic, not shallow. Big Difference! You're being a bit romantic and slightly naive. I know when I get old enough to get married, I'll be making sure my partner's a good match, sexually and otherwise, before I say those vows, because I'm not sure I want marital stress over an issue like that.

Deist I guess, if that's what you call someone who believes in a god but isn't religious (i.e. not going to church, etc). I also find that Buddhism and similar Eastern religions have some good advice by the way of morality and etc.

I don't see why people are so "don't go with the crowd", myself. I go with a crowd and I have fun and I get into trouble, but not terrible bad trouble. Just the kind of trouble that gives a good laugh and that you can look back on with a smile when you're older.

It both makes me laugh and makes me mad when someone does this. Post something totally stupid and immature, then when it gets the flaming it deserves, start crying and begging not to flame it because"i dont want it closed" when it deserved to be closed and buried forever since its very creation. -.-

I believe heartless619 has done that already. :P

Please enlighten me - what's a Sobe bomb? Do you light a bottle of Sobe(the energy drink), or is it something completely different? :-k (Because if it's the first, then that's a waste of a damn good Sobe. I love that drink.) Anyway, yeah, we're gonna go see the pro fireworks with friends; go there in the afternoon, eat, hang out, play football/soccer/baseball, watch fireworks, yay. I wanna set some off myself; it's illegal here, and my parents wont buy them. Even though everyone else here has them, they buy them a few cities over where it's legal...But my parents are just like that. Spoilsports :P

@sycosis5: This thread is, actually, a really good example of exactly why people hate emos. Or, at least, why people hate you. Same difference. Myself, I think emos are fun to watch when they get all worked up. Like Zonorhc said.
