Excuse my ignorance, but what is a bullet? This is doing rather fabulously so far.

Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 & 2
I am currently on my 100th re-read, and I've almost finished Half-Blood Prince. Can't wait to get onto The Deathly Hallows, it will be only the second time I've read it since it came out; on a major nostalgia trip right now. Also, the many Voldemort screams in the trailer means I cannot watch it without laughing, in particular, his scream when Harry pushes him over the edge of the building. Fudging hilarious, gives the wilhelm scream a run for its money.

X Factor 2011: Discussion
I will stand by the fact that I think Dappy is attractive. Sure, there are better faces out there, but he has a fine body. Also, just to note, this is all purely looks wise, I am well aware of what a vile, irritating wench he is. I'm just saying, if he has to appear, at least he could have the decency to be good eye candy while he's at it. Although, Frazer would also do nicely in that department.

Game of Thrones
I was disapointed that after all the build up, we didn't get to see any of the fighting...it was all tension, tension, tension...next scene, "Oh, yeah we just won, thought you should know." The ending though was an incredible moment, very visceral and upsetting. Even though the show is just following the books, I'm surprised they had the balls to kill off the top two billing actors in the first season, and it's not looking good for Drogo either. I'm just worried the last episode won't give enough conclusion for the season, and it will just end like all the other episodes with all the storylines ongoing, leaving us hanging for a whole year.

BJSC XXXV - Confirmation Thread
If it's on par with the quality of your previous entries there's no reason why it should! New Caprica have confirmed with a song that I utterly adore at the moment. Also, for a second time in a row, it's not KPop.

'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)' • Fifth Single
It's easily her best video yet, brilliant. The outakes at the end were the funniest parts for me. E.T was visually good, but was a whole lot of nothing, humour is where Perry's talent lies.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn
Just hearing about it was enough for me, although I'll probably end up reading it one day, and I hate leaving things unfinished. I can't imagine how they are going to translate soem of it onto the screen; I can see the endless facebook groups now.

Did Dianna Agron just come out of the closet?
During a Glee concert last like Agron wore a "Likes girls" t-shirt during the performance of Born This Way, which has since started speculation that this is Agron's bold way of coming out of the closet. Although of course, it could just be a spoiler for an upcoming Quinn storyline. What do you think? http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmo0ark8...au7u3o1_400.jpg

ROTW: Britney Vs. MIA - How I Roll Paper Planes
I love this remix, but prefer How I Roll on its own, such a great, great track.

X-Men: First Class
Oh yeah, I remember that, when I watched in the cinema (without having seen the first two at this point in time) it was a very wtf moment for me.
-
X-Men: First Class
But it has the lowest attendence for the series yet, it was forecasted to do $60 million + opening weekend but did less than that, and if they continue going down the endless origin/reboot route then it will only get worse. If they want to see truly big numbers again then they should do X-Men 4. Then again it might just be series fatigue and there's nothing they can do to stop the diminishing returns.

Born This Way vs Femme Fatale
I think it's her aim to say you can still be sexy, even if your not traditionally beautiful; she works it because she has the confidence to. And beauty is subjective anyway, I think GaGa has very distinctive and beautiful features and is very photogenic, others only see a rat's face. It's a completely facetious topic (that word is too good not to use again Jark). Born This Way a meticulous pop album with ideas, messages and substance. It may not reach the dizzying heights that she set out to reach, but the ambition is there to be seen, and it's a genuinely exciting album. To see how much she's devloped in 3 years on the scene makes me WET at the thought of what we could see from her in the next 5. You don't get any of that with Femme Fatale, it's an okay, but ultimately dull, album, with one truly great gem in How I Roll and a couple of great songs in Criminal and Trouble for Me. There's nothing there underneath the surface, nothing to get excited about past the first listen or two, nothing that she's doing outside of the album to make the era particularly exciting. One thing I agree with, comparing GaGa to Britney now is not an apple-to-apple comparision, NEITHER is comparing GaGa to Ooops era Britney: completely different contexts. For a pop album to sell so much in the US in this day and age, regardless of the Amazon deal, is a remarkable thing. Maybe if the market was not so fixated on single sales, then album's would start selling again. Look at Adele.

So, the BBFC....
Yes, but they also have legislation they've also got to keep in mind, specifically the Obscene Publications Acts 1959 and 1964. And good, if people want to see it, they can watch it on the internet, but I can see where they are coming from: decisions like this are rare, and from the description, it does seem to go above and beyond decency, and fair play to them that they don't want to jusitfy it. They did classify A Serbian Film with cuts, so this must have been something extreme for them to take such a decision. Also, they didn't submit if for a cinematic release anyway, just for DVD.

X-Men: First Class
I have no idea, but I know there was supposed to be a Magneto or a Deadpool origin story before they went with First Class, although I do remember reading on digitalspy that McAvoy said that there would be a sequel if this makes enough money. Considering how subdued the response has been in the US and over here, I don't know whether another one anytime soon is a certainty at this point. Although, I can't see them giving up on such a big franchise, no matter how diminished the returns become.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn
Even though it's not the "right" thing for me to say, the first three books and two movies (haven't seen the third) are a guilty pleasure of mine. Maybe it's the tacky gay inside of me coming out. But I refuse to read the last book, even hearing about what happens is unbearable, so I'll probably give this a miss and pretend it's a trilogy.

X-Men: First Class
Saw this with a group of friends when it opened, and it was an okay, forgettable popcorn movie. It had a few interesting moments and philiosophical ideas, and the best part of the movie was easily Magneto tracking down the Nazis, in particular the part when he uses his power to give someone a real bad tooth ache: it was a shame that was over too soon, I would have gladly had the whole film center around Magneto. But then we get an endless supply of pointless characters and the plot moves along far too quickly for me to enjoy anything much, with dubious character motivation that services the plot rather than the character; Mystique I'm looking at you. At times the CGI is terrible and some of the fight scenes laughable, especially the "fight scene" between Angel and the Sonic guy. In fact among characters whose powers seem rather well thought out, Angel stood out like a sore thumb: wings, right? Shooting random fireballs out of your mouth...err? Not to mention there are some glaring inconsistenices with the previous films. All in all, it felt like an average episode of Heroes on the big screen.

Mary and Max (2010)
It really was, heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time, it was the first time in a while that I cried at a movie; my mum even asked me what was the matter, was an awkward five minutes :lol: I was quite surprised at how dark it got actually, both in story and humour, I thought the movie was targeted at children, clearly not.

Mary and Max (2010)
http://ramascreen.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/mary_and_max1.jpg So I've heard a lot of good things about this movie, but have only got round to seeing it the other day, and it was one of the best films I've ever watched, animated or otherwise. It's beautiful, dark, uplifting, funny, sad, creative and I love the film's use of music. Even knowing the rave reviews it blindsided me, and it's steadily growing a cult status since it was released last year, and it is about to crawl into the IMDB's Top 200. I urge everyone to see it, just such a wonderful, wonderful film. Synposis: A tale of friendship between two unlikely pen pals: Mary, a lonely, eight-year-old girl living in the suburbs of Melbourne, and Max, a forty-four-year old, severely obese man living in New York who suffers from asperger's syndrome. A friendship that ends up lasting twenty-two years. MgRjB8PEDkM

Game of Thrones
It was, and it flew by, I was sure there was still another 15 minutes left when it ended. Waiting another week is going to be painful.
