anyway, trailer for the fourth Hrry Potter is just stunning, and I could only wish that there were gay characters in the book. Although Sirius and Snape have never had girlfriends...

My problem with the first two was that they were too by-the-book. Anytime you adapt a novel to the screen, things have to change, rabid fans of the book be damned. There was no joy in the first two--I remember seeing the second one and just sitting there in the theater with my mind drifting off to ask, "Hmmm, what do I need to pick up from the grocery store on my way home?" I was bored to tears with the second one. Then again, I think Chris Columbus is one of THE worst directors to ever enter Hollywood, and I'm scared as hell to see what he does to Rent.
