Well Hogwart's fans everywhere...the time has come. The time has come for your beloved Harry to geek his way around the screen again, with his lame wand and stupid lightning bolt scar. I'm not a fan of the film or the book series (obviously) but I want to give props to JK Rowling. She single-handily brought reading for kids and teens back to life. Without Potter there's no Cullen. The series opened the door for these teen forward fantasy books. Props to you Ms. Rowling and thank you.
We find ourselves with nothing going on in the UC again! Why do we live here again??? I'm sure a good chunk of you will be at the megaplex tonight anyway. I will be attending a screening of (500) Days of Summer. It's a comedy about a girl named Summer (played by Zooey Deschanel, love her!) who doesn't believe love exists and the guy who falls in love with her. The movie is already playing in most cities but, as with anything quality, we get it late. (500) Days opens Friday...UV's Finest will have a full review tomorrow.
About the Song Du Jour: "Fight The Power" Public Enemy
Chuck D and, to some extent, Flava Flav are mad, boyee! Fight The Power comes in harder than in hip hop song before it and has more quality than almost any after. So many radical lyrics and audacious claims, especially for 1989! The 4:42 song claims Elvis was a racist and so was John Wayne. It says none of their heroes will ever appear on a postage stamp (sorry MLK JR., apparently you didn't make the cut) and that Chuck D apparently doesn't like the song Don't Worry, Be Happy. Despite all of the outrageous lyrics, this is the best Hip Hop song ever...and compared to the chanting that passes for Hip Hop these days, it is pure brilliance.
That is it today kids...enjoy your midnight screenings of Harry Potter. See you tomorrow!
