    Dumbledore vs Voldemort is an all-time great movie fight. I wish it was longer.

     

    When the fight begins, Dumbledore pushes Harry out of the way. Harry sits against the wall staring at nothing, thinking of Sirius while the fight begins. :crying2:

    The first two Harry Potter movies (and books) are starkly different then the rest of the series. The series “grows up” at the same rate that Harry does. I think he’s 11 in Sorcerers Stone and 12 in CoS, and is pretty much an adult by series end. The tone of the stories mirror Harry’s maturation. Each movie will get progressively darker from here on out. 

     

    FYI, Movie 3, Prisoner of Azkaban, was directed by Alfonso Cuaron (Children of Men, Gravity) and it’s very good.  Movies 1 and 2 were directed by Chris Columbus (Home Alone, Mrs Doubtfire).

     

    Harry Potter is the greatest fantasy book series of all time. Come at me, Maf.

     

    Glad you’re watching the movies!

    Probably. I’d be really concerned as a Warriors fan about seeing him in a Game 7 too.

     

    Rooting hard for the Raptors to win this whole thing. Kawhi is such a fucking beast.

    *I was never a Cersei fan until Season 6 when she blew up the Sept.  Watching the explosion from her window while sipping wine like a true villain was so satisfying.  Ever since I've been sold on her being the true villain of the show.  This season she is giving me Gus Fring-level villain vibes.  She's in complete control and DGAF.  Lena Headey is killing it.  

    *The last Tyrion/Varys scene where they discuss betraying Dany was incredible.  I think it was Varys' best scene in the entire show.  

    *Ton of great acting in this episode.  Jon's speech at the funeral.  Dany begging for Jon to keep his mouth shut. Every Tormund line ("He's little...but he's stroooooong").  Grey Worm reacting to Missandei's death.  Tyrion pleading for Cersei to surrender.  The Hound and Sansa connecting one last time.   Game of Thrones can still nail the character moments.

    *Someone please kill Euron immediately and brutally.  He's the worst and not in a good way.


    *Ramin's score during the Funeral scene was stunning.  One of the series' best songs.  Ramin is this season's MVP.

    update because I don't think he'll remember to come post it himself: Lee said a million dollars

     

    A million is pretty damn impressive. Now I’m questioning my original offer. Lee’s infatuation has inspired me.

    I've been thinking about this for the last hour.  I offered a work friend of mine $10,000 and he said he'd take the money.  $10,000 wouldn't do it for me.  

     

    I'll say $50,000.  I'd need a significant amount to make it worth it.
