HP7P2

HP7P2 a.k.a Harry Potter The Deathly Hallows Part 2 was released this week. Facebook was in a frenzy! People are going nuts! End of a legacy they scream? Say it isn't so!

Well I "caught" this flick on the big screen, and I am here to say that it is a good movie, but I was surprised with some of the creative directions that the production team implemented. So, here is my review of the latest in the Potter craze.

Adam West did a phenomenal job as Severus Snape. I know when they first announced that he would be taking over for Alan Rickman, everyone was skeptical but I had faith! The investment in Adam West payed dividends larger than Adam West's Batman. There were times where it seemed that Adam had a hard time pulling off the image of being in the previous movies, but would the box offices lie? They are basically screaming that Adam West is a hit.

The next change that I thought was maybe a bit unnecessary and incredibly gutsy was allowing Lord Voldemort to kill Harry. I mean what if he would've decided last minute to not come back. Imagine him sitting on that train, riding off, muttering to himself "Screw those guys. They've been riding my coattail of fame for years now!"

The ending was well done. When they wake up 19 years later and realize that Harry was in a dream this whole time. He wakes up minutes after DiCarpio and Ellen Page had walked out. Successfully implanting an idea. Genius! Who would've thought that Inception 2 would require eight movies to get across.

Strangely enough, no one has seen J.K. Rowling since the film was released. There have been mobs sighted outside her living precincts almost every day since. What a Mad World.



*Very little of this review can be used as a reliable source. Please read it with that understanding. Also, if you have seen the movie think how hilarious these changes would be. I would die laughing as the angry fans scream and their anger boils with every passing minute. What a Mad World *

There is time.

Look at you. You’re young. And you’re scared. Why are you so scared? Stop being paralyzed. Stop swallowing your words. Stop caring what other people think. Wear what you want. Say what you want. Listen to the music you want to listen to. Play it loud as fuck and dance to it. Go out for a drive at midnight and forget that you have school the next day. Stop waiting for Friday. Live now. Do it now. Take risks. Tell secrets. This life is yours. When are you going to realize that you can do whatever you want?

Funny Paradox

I stumbled upon this paradox and thoroughly enjoyed it. Worthwhile laugh.

"Which is better, eternal happiness or a ham sandwich? It would appear that eternal happiness is better, but this is really not so! After all, nothing is better than eternal happiness, and a ham sandwich is certainly better than nothing. Therefore a ham sandwich is better than eternal happiness."

Chocolate Covered Peeps

I just finished reading a Consumer Corner report on the 2011 Sweets & Snacks Expo. Located at the Sweets & Snacks Expo was a family favorite treat. This time, however, its covered in chocolate.

The picture to the left, sort of, gives away which food I am talking about. Peeps are basically a marshmallow covered in sugar. Simple concept, yet they almost seem like an Easter staple. There are many different pastel color options and many different Peep shapes, but when it comes down to it the Peep everyone knows is the classic yellow chicken. The classic yellow chicken without chocolate.

What surprises me is that even though there have been many different variations of the Peep it seems that it is always the marshmallow and sugar. Chocolate has never been in the equation. Potato chips were covered in chocolate long before Peeps. The Peep almost seems too humble for chocolate! The industry thinks that they need to spice up this snack to appeal to consumers. Chocolate covered Peeps are streets ahead! FALSE. WHY DOES AMERICA NEED TO IMPROVE UPON EVERYTHING! MAYBE PERFECTION HAS BEEN REACHED BEFORE, BUT WE ALWAYS TRY TO ADD TOO MUCH AND RUIN IT!
