The New World

So, The New World wa  pretty good movie...It took Smith and Pocahontas more that a loos to fall in love, which is good...and the Powhatans didn't magically know english like in the Disney movie...and unlike the Avartar: The Last Airbender movie, they actually cast Native Americans in most of the roles...

The only MAJOR issue I had, was John Smith had an Irish accent...not a Brittish...and I'm pretty sure he was Brittish...oh, and it did bug me a bit that they didn't portray Pocahontas as the 10 year old girl she was...even though it seems weird to us now, that's how it was though

Rose Is A Sucky Blogger

So, I know I suck at blogging for 3 reasons:

1. I haven't posted in, like, forever.
2. I have a single follower, who's Mixie, and she doesn't count because I tell her all this stuff outside of the bloging world, and she's my best friend and has no choice but to follow it...so:
3. No one follows my blog

basically, yeah.

so, to finish off, I'm about to watch this movie, and it has this guy in it. who's so attractive, it's insane:





That's Colin Farrell in The New World (The New World is a live action-Pocahontas...I'll tell the nobodies who read my blog how good of a movie it is some other time)

Pottermore Magic Quill Challenge; Day 3

Pottermore Magic Quill Challenge; Day 3; Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban; Difficulty: Hard



In the Gryffindor versus Slytherin Quidditch match in Harry's third year, how many points is Gryffindor leading by before Harry catches the snitch? Multiply this number by 35.



ANSWER TO DAY 2:

So, the chapter where McGonagall cancels the Quidditch match is chapter 14, so multiplied out you got 588, and then when you put that at the end of the url, you got sent to the photo albums page of the Warner Brothers Harry Potter site...and after a few minutes, the magic quill appeared as one of the photos in the album, and you just had to click it to access the registration page!

Pottermore Magic Quill Challenge; Day 2


Pottermore Magic Quill Challenge; Day 2; Chamber of Secrets; Difficulty: Hard

What is the number of the chapter in which Professor McGonagall cancels the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff? Multiply this number by 42.



ANSWER TO DAY 1:
So, the answer to Day 1 of the Magic Quill Challenge was: 245. There were 5 types of owls featured of Eeylope's sign: Tawny, Screech, Barn, Brown, and Snowy. Multiply that out, and you get 588. You then had to catch a feather, and could then begin the registration process!!! =D

Pottermore Magic Quill Challenge; Day 1



So, for those of you who don't know what Pottermore is....you're stupid (in the nicest way possible). You should find out: www.pottermore.com. But, I TOTALLY GOT IT!! FIRST DAY!!! YEAAAAAAH!!!! And so I've decided to post each day's Magic Quill Challenge questions, and see how many y'all can get right. The next day I'll post the new question, and the previous day's answer. Basically, I'm just re-posting from Pottermore, no copyright infringement intended, and all rights reserved by Warner Bros. and JKR...etc...etc...don't sue me please, I a'int got no money to give!! But basically, Pottermore will be open to the general public on 1 October, but the lucky first million people to find the Magic Quill and answer it's question will get to be BETA testers!!! AND I'M ONE OF THEM!!!! YAAAAY!!! (have to wait a few weeks though =/) ANYWAYS, here's 31 July's question:

Pottermore Magic Quill Challenge; Day 1; Philosopher's Stone; Difficulty: Hard


How many breeds of owl are featured on the Eeylops Owl Emporium sign? Multiply this number by 49.

GOOD LUCK! NO CHEATING!!




OH! AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY POTTER!!! <3

When Movies Defile Their Inspiration

I HATE IT when I hear about a movie coming out, and it's based off a book, or a story, or a television series, and then the movie comes out, and it's twisted the plot until the movie is unrecognizable, save the title which somehow, (since it's always the same as the original story) makes up for the movie no longer being what the story portrayed. On rare occasions the movie comes out great, like (for the most part) the Harry Potter movies...but other times the resulting movie is a crime against nature. I don't know if the screenwriter was on drugs, or if the director took a red pen to a previously good script draft...but there are so many TERRIBLE movies based off a book/story/television series. Case in point:

Where the Wild Things Are
Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs
Alice in Wonderland (the Tim Burton one)
Twilight Saga (M'kay, COULD have been okay, if they had a good script, good actors, and a better director)


My mind is spacing right now...but I'll post some more when I think of them
