Dan: What is the Harry Potter movie series, in the end?
Natasha: A parable about Nazis. DUH, NEXT QUESTION.
Dan: IT IS A MACHINE THAT PRINTS HUGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY FOR TIME WARNER COMMUNICATIONS.
Given that! I count my blessings that AGAINST ALL ODDS the movies have been inventive, thoughtful, well cast, beautiful to look at, and fairly faithful to the books. And – MOST IMPORTANTLY – that they have gotten better each time! What kind of universe do we live in? Since when does Hollywood take a beloved series about which nerds feel strongly and NOT FUCK IT UP?
Natasha: IS THIS HOW JJRR ABRAMS/TOLKIEN FANS FEEL ALL THE TIME?!
Dan: Thank god for fucking Peter Jackson is all I have to say. The guy may be wasting away like he’s got the fucking Ring of Power, but thank God for him.
