Warner Bros To Harry Potter Fans: "Screw You Guys, We Just Want More Money, LOL!"








(Above: Actor Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy in the upcoming film)


Attention Harry Potter fans, it has come to my attention that Warner Bros. has decided to push back the next Harry Potter film from November, to next fucking July! Are they doing this because of problems in post production that need to be sorted out? NOPE! They're screwing all their loyal fans, for a chance at making more money. Yes, here's what Warner Bros. President, Alan Horn had to say: "I've seen the movie. It is fabulous. We would have been perfectly able to have it out in November."

So they're metaphorically giving the finger to all the loyal Harry Potter fans who have been eagerly awaiting the release of this movie, why? Well the mid-late summer window for 2009 will have no big movies. It makes sense for WB to put the movie in a place where there will be less demands on peoples time such as the holiday period. Also, tOotP movie came out in summer, and it was the second highest grossing film of the series, and The Dark Knight (also put out by Warner Bros. studios) was a huge success and it came out in summer.

Bottom line: They're doing it for money. As if they need more after The Dark Knight...

So what should the Harry Potter fan community do about this?

Well there have been talks all around the internet of protests, and here is what you need to do.

1. Boycott.
Well the opening weekend at least. Warner Bros. wants to make us wait, huh? We'lll see how much they enjoy waiting by not seeing it until the week after it comes out. If you want to take it a step further, you could also boycott all Warner Bros. films until The Half Blood Prince movie comes out. I will be doing both, so no seeing Clone Wars for me.

2. Complain.
You need to tell Warner Bros. that you're not happy about this. Write angry letters explaining how the Harry Potter community will be protesting by not seeing it until the week after, and boycotting Warner Bros. films. You can do this through the internet, by following this link. However, sending multiple hand-written letters will speak much louder to them. You can send letters to this address:

Warner Bros.
4000 Warner Blvd
Burbank CA 91522

3. Not See It In Theaters At All.
If you would like to take things a step further, you could not see it at all. I've heard some people saying they will just wait for the DVD. I've also heard talks of mass-pirating, but i am not supporting or condoning any illegal activity...

So there you have it. Fuck Warner Bros. Please comment if you have anything else that we should do, or if you want to explain your opinion on this.

Lazy Summer. 5 Things To Do When You're Bored.


So it's the summer before my senior year of highschool, and i haven't accomplished a single thing yet. I've spent my days lounging around, hanging out and being lazy, and now it's already the middle of august! I wanted to do soo much too. Get a job, complete my college entrance portfolio, read four books (I haven't finished the first yet!). There's still time, but i know not everything i wanted to do will get done. Anyway, to commemorate my laziness, here is a list of 10 things to do when you're bored during summer.

5. - Learn about something that interests you.

Now you may be saying, "Hey, it's summer! Learning is for fags!", but learning about something that interests you is a great way to spend your time. And with all the resources available on the Internet, there's no excuse. I myself have spent hours learning about nuclear bomb disposal, and eastern philosophy. So whether it's a language or a martial art you want to learn about, go for it!

4. - Ride a bicycle.

This is a great option when you're bored. Riding a bicycle isn't just great cardio exercise, it's also great fun. So you can have a great time, while keeping your body healthy. I prefer the excitement of mountain biking, and there's a great trail near my house, but you might just enjoy casual city biking. Riding a bike gives you a great sense of freedom, so whatever style you choose, make sure to have fun!

3. - Experiment With Making Art.

Making art is fun, and productive. You may be saying "But i can't draw!". Well i understand, but why not try getting some acrylic paint ($1.92 per bottle at a craft store, or wally world) and making an abstract painting? Or making a sculpture out of objects you find around the house? Robots are always fun to make! The sky is the limit. And if you make something that looks good, you could always try selling it on etsy and making some extra cash.

2. Create a Cafepress Store.

Creating a cafepress store can be a truly fun and rewarding experience... and it can make you some extra money! Have a funny saying that you always thought should be on a t-shirt? Well make it, and sell it! It's easy. You can start by installing a free graphics program like GIMP (if you don't already have a similar program. It's simple to use. I'd suggest starting out with opening basic shops for each one of your t-shirt ideas, and then opening a premium shop if you start getting sales. It might seem like it's not working at first, but trust me, your first sale will seem amazing!

1. Download Good Movies And Music You Have Never Experienced.

Have you always heard about how good a certain movie or band was, but never actually experienced it for yourself? Well here is the perfect opourtunity to do so! (legally of course, I'm not condoning or encouraging illegal activity ;])
