Two Good Things About the Next Harry Potter Movie
1) In what must surely be a sign of an impending apocalypse and the death of all beings, Warner Bros. has decided to no longer try and release Deathly Hallows Part 1 in 3-D. I’m boggled. A Hollywood studio has not only made a smart decision based not partially on the quality of the resulting product, but it also reversed its previous decision! A Hollywood studio changed its mind and decided to not to make a product because it would be shitty, for the first time ever! If I had a bomb shelter, I’d get in like an hour ago. As it is, I’ll just have to drink myself to death, but I was planning on doing that anyways.
2) The trailer for the Green Lantern movie will be attached to Deathly Hollows Part 1. Not much to say about that news, except that I’m more excited than I thought I would be. The movie will be released on November 19th, but I imagine the GL trailer will sneak on the infotainment supernetubes before that. (Via /FIlm)
