    Eh, I hate Harry Potter books and movies.  It portrays witchcraft and the likes in an "OK" light, when it's nothing but evil.  Sure, it's all good fun in the books and movies, but that's a false message.  Witchcraft is pure evil.  Now, if you're one who can differentiate between a fun story and that which is evil, go for it.  However, if you read the book or see the movie and think witchcraft is innocent, which I suspect a lot do, then I have a problem with it.

    In my opinion It's just another classic tale of Good overcoming Evil. This always gets the publics interest. Add the next vital ingredient.....the Meek (Harry, complete with glasses) overcoming the Strong using special powers. Joe Public identifies with this as he/she feels powerless to control what he/she sees as injustices in the world. 'If only we had some super powers, we could put things right'. No wonder super heroes such as Superman, Batman, Spiderman etc are so popular.

    The powers used in Harry Potter may be 'wizardry', but are they any stranger than the powers used by our other heroes....flying through the sky...spinning webs.....turning invisible etc etc ?. As a child I 'knew' that such powers were fictional, and I believe the children of today take the same view with Harry Potter. In a nutshell, I think it's all harmless.

    All vallid points, but with Superman, he's an alien. Siderman's a mutant, Batman's a millionaire out to take the laws into his own hands, and so forth...

     

    With Harry Potter, sure, he's a good kid overcoming evil in an adventurous story. In that aspect, I think it's an excellent idea. If he'd just used fancy magic or something, that'd be fine. However, we have witches, wizards, spells, hexs, and so forth. Sure, it seems "nice and good", but in real life, it is a tool of evil. The story is not what I have a problem with. It's the fact that witchcraft is portrayed as a good thing in the film when the hero uses it to fight the bad guy and so forth. I'm not demanding anyone to agree with me that it's an "evil story", I'm just trying to help you understand my view point. B)

    Well, that helps. I still don't agree, but I do understand, now. :lol:

    Spock Brain was pretty bad but I think it's lost the title of worst Star Trek episode to"A Night in Sickbay".

    "Send me your lips-" :ph34r:

     

    Geeeeee, you have a HUGE point there!

    I would worry about my dog if she were sick, but I would sleep in my quarters and good gravy, get a girlfriend, already! :huh:

     

    At least Spock's Brain had some humor, A night in sickbay was painful to watch. :rolleyes:

    If Fudge (my poodle) ever got sick, I'd sleep over if I was allowed...I'm sorry, I love my poodle, he's the best puppy ever (OK, he's not a puppy, he's 8, but he acts like one :dude: )

    I've only ever heard of mcGuyver from Grampa on the Simpsons.

     

    "I'm an old man. The only thing I like is McGuyver. Hey, it's on now!"

    Sorry to be rude and correct you but Grampa is in to Matlock. Patty and Sellma love McGuyver

     

    and I loved that show to

    I know, I just realised it just now, when I was reading the "What's your ffavourite show besides trek" thing. Someone wrote matlock, and then I remembered. Oops :ph34r:

     

    Ahhh, Patty and Selma like McGuyver - well that explains my confusion :rolleyes:

    I like Chandler - he's sweet, nice, caring and smart, as well as stupid :rolleyes: Plus, he's the funniest member of the cast.

     

    Monica's My 2nd.5 favourite. I love her

    Pheobe's hilarious, she's my second (or third, depending on how you look at it)

    Joey's 3/4

    Rachel's 4/5 - I thonk she's funny, but her charcater's a bit of a bi--meanie...

    Ross - funny, but can't stand him half the time.

    hes just an actor. lol. and a quite good one at that. robert carlyle has been in some great movies, my favorite being the world is not enough.

    but i agree, hitler was terrible (there are no words to describe just how terrible) and he is the root of all evil, but the mini-series was quite good. and it didnt display him as a helpless poor bum, it displayed him as a racist, hating, hurtful man that even his closest followers hated.

    it for sure was a hitler-bashing!  :devil:

    I know it was just an actor, but I just couldn't.
