Entry tags:a kid's book shouldn't be for kids, fandom: harry potter

"HARRY POTTER IS A BABY BOOK. ANY GROWNUP WHO READS THEM IS A DUMMY."
As wanks go, this one is pretty mild -- being on the web site of a newspaper and all -- but it's got some goodies in there.

Someone going by the name of "Bidisha" writes a piece in the Guardian about the HP films, decrying them as "safe" and wishing for a director who'd really grasp the dark aspects of the books. Someone like, say, David Lynch. Or David Cronenberg. Or Kathryn Bigelow. No, really.

Thus we get the allcaps abuse quoted in the title of this post and other amusing bits:

"David Lynch would fill Hogwarts with dwarfs and introduce a strange woman whose best friend was a fish or something."

"Oh gosh, yes, a slash film by pointless gibberish merchant David Lynch would be the perfect adaptation for the next Potter book. Mercy me."
(I think the poster may have meant "slasher", but I'm not sure.)

"I read the first book and found it tedious, snobbish and ill-written. Anyway the books are basically about school and as I hated school they have little appeal for me. If adults must read books about school then try "Tom Brown's School Days" - much better written."

"Homoerotic obsession with Draco Malfoy? Rubbish. Harry's obsession was based on hatred and suspicion, not the desire to jump his bones. Why read into it something that isn't there?"
(Ahahahahaha. Oh, dear poster, stay away from fandom.)

(Is it wrong of me to actually want to know what Harry Potter by way of David Cronenberg would be like?)

In the novels, Harry's story is 99% pain, anger, hate, ambition and violence, saved by a spark of redeeming love.

I love Harry Potter, but I think perhaps this journalist is reading a different version from mine?

I never thought I'd see the day when I'd actually feel like defending David Lynch (He's alright, but often it seems too much like he's being weird for weirdness' sake).

A mainstream cine-juggernaut calculated to succeed all over the world could never do justice to the combined complexity of Rowling's vision and my own fantasies.

Sweetcheeks, just because they're your fantasies doesn't mean they're all that complex.

On Pullman: I love the series, but giving it to a Hollywood director interested only in keeping the bible thumpers happy is a terrible misjudgement. The books are atheist. How can Americans stomach that!

Yes, because books in which God exists are obviously atheist.

This is strange because I was reading the review by Ebert today and he's whining about the movie being too dark.

LOL at the people who think Lynch puts a dwarf in everything. Also, "slash film"? Even assuming they meant "slasher" it doesn't make any sense. The whole editorial kinda reads like a MAD TV skit-pitching session-- why not "Willy Wonka as directed by Alfred Hitchcock" and "Mary Poppins as directed by Quentin Tarantino" while they're at it?

Homoerotic obsession with Draco Malfoy? Rubbish. Harry's obsession was based on hatred and suspicion, not the desire to jump his bones.

Speaking of which, there wasn't very much Malfoy at all in this movie. At least, he didn't talk much. They've have to do a bit of an about-face to get him up to the importance he sorta-had in HBP.

Though it's possible he did a lot and I just wansn't paying attention. I tended to doze off and only perk up for Luna and the EPIC MINISTRY OF MAGIC CGI.

"I read the first book and found it tedious, snobbish and ill-written. Anyway the books are basically about school and as I hated school they have little appeal for me. If adults must read books about school then try "Tom Brown's School Days" - much better written."
Funny, I've read both, and I like both of them! It couldn't just be that she hold a minority opinion, could it? Nah.

Am I the only one wondering why she chose the day before it opened for this? I mean, most significant reviewers get to see the movie in advance, right?

"I haven't seen it ('cuz I ain't speshul enuff), but I think it'll suck!"

Isn't this the kind of stuff that HP fans argue over when the cast/crew for each film is announced, instead of waiting until the day before it plays?

I didn't have a problem with the movie being too-not-dark-enough.

I did, however, have a problem with the shocking lack of dinosaurs and zombies. A very Sirius serious problem. I vote George Romero for HBP; that way I'm pretty much guaranteed that the Inferi will be done right.

So, onto more pressing matters. Anyone else totally start shipping Neville and Harry during the movie?

MESMERIZING GLASS RAIN OF DOOM SPOILERZ OH NOES!

I fucking love David Lynch. I mean, I actually enjoyed Lost Highway, I'm that perverse. (True, it combined two of my deep loves - weird shit and Patricia Arquette). I read the books and I still liked Dune!

So him doing Harry Potter? Would be crack of the most delicious kind. (Kind of like the original ending for Little Shop of Horrors with Rick Moranis. Over the top and completely cracktasticly AWESOME).

Is anybody else disappointed about the lack of Snape/Black wank? I mean come on, five movies and not one single scene together, it pisses me off so damn much!
My fellow shippers are just much too civil and nice and talented and rational human beings, nobody wanks, how is that possible?

Is it wrong of me to actually want to know what Harry Potter by way of David Cronenberg would be like?

If it's wrong, I don't want to be right.
