If cannot honestly believe that Rowling thinks the last Potter book is the best thing she has written.
J.K. Rowling is the Al Jourgensen of modern literature.

Potter fans are malformed brutes of the worst kind.
I suppose I’ll take that as a compliment. It was a decent series and MEANT for kids - and I read it as such. It reminded me of my first reads thru LOTR, Earthsea and the Elric books. I don’t understand the urge of some people to act as if she was trying to write War & Peace or the like.
Then again, i’m not roaming the streets with a cloak and a twig in hand.

LMFAO true haha! very true

Would you rather him sit atop a belltower with an old bolt action rife and take shots at people like yourself? Cause you know for people like that, that is the alternative. I’ve never read the Potter books (just not interested in them) although the rest of my immediate family are potter heads! I wouldn’t consider them brutes. I would intellectually put them well above you mr. jizzy (you’re obviously a smart guy…or least have a smart vocabulary … which you generally don’t get unless your a reader! so no attack meant). their home library rivals that of a lot of county libraries… Their actually considering putting another story on the house just to store their books!
Pops has a bachelors in English two masters degrees one in Latin and one in computer science. Mom has one bachelor’s in liberal arts and a masters in administration and sister has a Masters in Molecular Biology. So brutes, nope! Never getting laid, of course! I have a little old Bachelors in Sociology and a teaching credential. with no intention of getting a Masters until it serves my payscale needs.
I Would definitely support the notion that those potter people are certainly a strange bunch but not all brutes. Although the Anti Potter people are probably even funnier what with their Devilry claims and all!

I’ve loved all M Night’s films.
Except The Happening.
Towards the end I really couldn’t care who survived or not.
It was clear what was HAPPENING in the first quarter.
It felt like I’d seen it all before.
Major let down…
His films play out like overly long Twilight Zone reruns and are every bit as predictable. There is NOTHING special about what he does. NOTHING!!
Hey… what’s wrong with the old Twilight Zone? I dig this show. Rod Serling was the shit.
Worst movie theater experience: Solar Crisis - Charlton Heston should have been euthanized after this.
Potter fans are malformed brutes of the worst kind.
Obsessive fat bores who will never get laid. Working with them makes me depressed. The way they center upon all the minute trivia of certain characters and their dumb ass histories, and paying less attention to books as a medium.
Remember I have read everything by William H. McNeill and consider myself to be an aesthete and intellectual with no interests in the contents of Harry’s closet.
I don’t suffer my coworkers well. I should tell you about my ex coworker, a 45 yr old man who dressed up like Prof. Snape last year and roamed around my city till 1 am in the morning.
It is becoming horribly apparent that I need to get the fuck outta this town as soon as possible…
I dunno… one of my friends who happens to be a Potter geek got laid shortly after said screening.
However, cosplayers PISS ME OFF… ESPECIALLY Harry Potter cosplayers.
Whatever. I give up.
En somme:
People including smurf’s family and my co-workers and anyone else who dresses up in silly plastic capes and buys the deluge of tie-in product from Mattel and Burger King are all a bunch of repressed minorities just like women, african americans, and homos.
Hating Harry is NOT a family value.
Everyone happy now?
I think Beyonce is a lot happier now that you posted that Jizzy. Her and Jay Z were really concerned for a moment.

Oh, don’t even laugh at that. I know some guy (who was always just a little bit flaky) who flipped out one day and did something similar to that - although he didn’t actually manage to kill anyone. It scared the shit out of me back then and it still gets me down whenever I think about it and it’s been nearly ten years since it happened.
It was a very sad and tragic story.

I went to one of those fancy pants private schools - y’know like the one in Dead Poets Society - and I was actually called into the principal’s office one time to discuss my ‘less than savoury’ obsession with ‘evil music’.
Apparently some teacher from the school had spotted me in a record store one day after school buying Black Sabbath’s Vol. 4 album, while wearing my school uniform.
I was told, in no uncertain terms, that this was a poor reflection on the values that our school represented and was assigned to a guidance councillor (to which I never showed up to).
Pfft! Yeah fucking values our school represented. Hypocrites! This came from a guy who virtually championed the bullying of boys who did not take an interest in sports by those who did.
Those were some of the most miserable years of my life. I stood out like the proverbial sore thumb because of my less than enthusiastic attitude toward sports (ie I could give a shit about it), my skinny build and my obsession with all things dark (ie ‘weird’ music and film).
[shocked]
…gee, am I ranting now or what!
Have you heard about the Potter “rock” bands? A bunch of grown ups singing songs influenced by the books… not quiet as hard core as zepplin and their lord of the rings shit, i’d imagine… and showing up to see a band in the whole painted forehead and a stick thing would be embarressing… comparing “wands” in line only to have them taken at the door.

Oh don’t get me wrong they DON’T buy into all of the merchandising (unless you count buying the DVD’s as merchandising) but as far as as loving EVERY detail of the books, they are right there on it! the closest they come to dressing up would be my sister who knitted herself a sweater with a big “H” on the front that she wears every now and again. I guess it’s supposed to be a varsity sweater or some shit from his school I don’t know. But that’s not the crazy shit, the crazy shit is when fans more Uber than her offer her hundreds of dollars on the street for it and she turns them down! That pisses me off cause she could always just make another one! apparently it’s her own pattern. So it’s “one of a kindish”

Did he have any particular reason for his actions? arrested? jailed/nuthouse? Was this in the states or Australia?

Don’t tire yourself being so “misanthropic” buddy. You work at a library.
Another horrible moviegoing experience was when I went to go see “Underworld: Evolution” with a few friends. The film itself wasn’t terribly painful to watch, but when Kate Beckinsale pushed the vampire/demon guy into the helicopter blades, for some reason I burst into hysterical laughter, pissing off just about everyone else and leading to me being escorted out of the theater.
Good times.

He was a repressed homosexual.
Was this in the states or Australia?
In the land of the proud.
Oooooh. We’re all so contrarian! We hate anything that is popular! bla blah blah
