Actually I am addicted to the Harry Potter books, there’s no other way to put it. My family knows; it’s amazing how much they encourage me to go to the library LOL!
I’m also a fan of the movies BUT I think it incredibly sad (and sorry such bad timing) that the original Dumbledore departed this world soon after the 2nd movie. The current Dumbledore is no where near as strong and powerful in his portrayal of this important position. Also, I do not understand why script writers cannot follow a “simple” storyline. When you have perfect books, why stray?
Because of my penchant for perfection, few will sit in the same room with me when the movie comes on. I’m sorry, but would it have been that difficult to get the MAJOR ingredients, the ones that add up to complete the whole, either right or included? Sigh.
So when Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince came out, I geared myself to be “disappointed”, but I was totally unprepared. The movie departed so far from the book itself that it bears little resemblance to the works of the author. Now, The Deathly Hallows is due for release. One can only imagine HOW they are going to manage to pull this off having left out so much of the important “stuff” along the way.
Yes, I’m a Harry Potter wacko… and I really expected them to get it right. Here’s a preview of the upcoming in case you haven’t seen it yet:
As a journalist and editor for WorldNewsVine, I can tell you that separating fact from fiction (or rumor) can be a daunting task. In covering everything from the unemployment extensions situation to the BP oil spill to frogs that predict earthquakes (seriously), the toughest part can be the comments received.
It is more than amazing how many people will make statements that are clearly based off a sound bite commercial – be it whichever (or none) aisle you tend to see yourself on.
I try to stick to the middle. I have no clear affiliation with either political party, although – due to their own plotting and planning – I tend to lean more to the liberal side of things. For instance, in yesterday’s Senate vote on H.R. 4213, you won’t believe what a Republican said to try to persuade the other Senators to vote for a quickly, tried-to-add, yes Republican amendment, referred to as “the Death Tax”. Frankly, with the provisions initially sent over by the House, H.R. 4213 way back in May should have been a no brainer for the Senate.
Alas, as we all know by now, it was not to be… So be careful where you get your “news”. WNV prints based off factual sources directly in Washington and state-by-state.
Such a simple solution! Holy cow do large corporations grow so much they forget the simple things in life?? The environment is being ruined. The Deepwater Horizon oil spill is out of control. While they fumble around trying to stop the flow, at least there are things that can be done on the ocean surface and along our shorelines.
See what these guys have come up with:
Simple, efficient, brilliant. So how come the guys pulling down billions never thought of this???? Scary world!
