These Hollows Look Deathlier than Ever
If you hated yourself enough to sit through the MTV Movie Awards, one of the small breaks in the horror was this trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Generally, I’m really impressed by the Harry Potter movie trailers, but this one not so much. I’m not sure why. Also, I’m wondering why they even bothered with footage from the movie that wasn’t Emma Watson in that red dress. Seriously, just run that footage for 60 seconds and watch the box office receipts pour in. Sure, the theaters would be packed with creepy middle-aged men, but hey, their money is just as good as anyone else’s.
