International Harry Potter Trailer

I found this "International" version of a trailer for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince".



Why do we always get dumbed down versions of books, trailers and movies in the U.S.? Why do we stand for it? It is so annoying. But I guess the people who are responsible for these things are right- we never protest that things have been dumbed down or made less complicated or more violent for our viewing benefit. I just don't get it...sigh.

Hermiting

I don't know why, but lately, I just don't want to leave the house on the weekends. I like being away from people, away from expectations. I want to go to the movies - I want to see "Benjamin Button" and "The Reader" and "Marley and Me" and "Bolt" and "Madagasgar II" but once it gets down to it, I just can't pry myself from the house.

Part of it is escaping the routine - get up, shower, get ready, leave, come home tired, go to bed and do it all over again the next day. Part of it is the isolation from people.

I want to break out of it, but at the same time, it is just so nice to be HOME. I'm sure it is a phase. When the weather is warmer, I usually get out more. I guess I will wait for it to pass or for spring to come.
