Harry Potter Movie 3 Wank..
Well, it's kind of ongoing wank, has been for weeks, but i finally decided it's gotten to the level where people need to be smacked around a little.

As most of us know, The third Harry Potter movie is coming out this holiday season. Ever since behind the scenes pics have been coming out, fans have been either rejoicing or bitching. The bitchery has been getting more and more frequent lately. Such as:

Hermione's hair is too light and not bushy!!

That moron director is going to cut out all of Draco's scenes!

One poster is sick and tired of all the bitching!

And my personal favorite...
Sirius looks so scraggly and dirty! It ruins all my little slash fantasies about him!!

Intersperse that with bitchery about the kids being dressed in 'normal' clothing, subtle suggestion that the director might be a pedophile, and you've got yourself some fun. Sorry if anyone on here's involved in the complaining, but you gotta admit it's getting a little out of hand.

Draco scenes, CUT?! Does no one realise Draco Malfoy is the true main character here? The sexy, clever, leather-clad centre of the Harry Potter universe?

I mean, hello?

Gah, the Sirius debate is ridiculous. He's not going to be pretty, people. He's not supposed to be after prison, dude.

About the Hermione thing...

Does it OCCUR to these people that Emma just might have a life outside of her character? That maybe that picture was just of the actors as they are, not them in character?

And that canon-wise Sirius should not be a super hot teen bishounen?

Just wondering.

If they wank any harder, they're going to snap the poor things right off.

Besides, Hermione comes from a normal family, right? I think I remember a few scenes somewhere where she and Harry are able to blend in with the rest of society, whereas the Weasleys look like carnies. And as for Draco--the little pisher is barely in the books. How can they concoct this huge "Draco is totally d33p and s3xy and fuck1ng H4rry" spiel about him? I'm not in the fandom, so this is perpetually lost upon me.

Oy!

Oh, there's non-stop whining about the casting for Sirius, because Gary Oldman is too old, too boring, and too fat. *weeps for the fangirls*

This just about sums it up: "sirius IS supposed to be cool... GARY OLDMAN IS NOT COOL ENOUGH. or sexy enough."

To paraphrase someone from [info]tws_support, what, were the fangirls expecting cell-shaded anime inserts?

WARNING!!! All links go to a community that is, in and of itself, a spoiler for "Order of the Phoenix." (Though if you're online and you haven't heard it by now....)

Wow. The Draco-fangirl in the second link cracks my shit up. Love how she brings up the issue of Quidditch being cut from the movie, then has a conniption because people start discussing that aspect of the post and not the "OMG NO DRACO MY LIFE IS OVER!!!" part.

And is it just me, or is there something just a little wanky about Alan-Rickman-as-Snape fangirls saying Gary Oldman's too ugly to play Sirius? I know it's a matter of personal taste and all, but Rickman (though I admit he makes Snape kinda sexy) isn't exactly conventionally attractive. Not that that's a bad thing, I just don't see how they can accept that and then expect Sirius to be played by some kind of Adonis. Especially since I think a lot of Rickman's appeal comes from his performance and not necessarily just his looks-- so how can they know that the same thing won't happen with Oldman?

Also just amused by the fact that they're disappointed that movie!Sirius doesn't resemble a Japanese fanart. Keep dreaming, girls. Keep dreaming.

Heh... admittedly, I also have a bit of a beef with some of the decisions that have been made with the movies, but none of them have anything to do with the casting of a middle-aged man as a middle-aged man, I assure you.

I mean, in the books up to about "Goblet of Fire" or so, Hermione is described as being sort of the awkward type, with bushy hair and buck teeth and so on. Wheras in the movie, we got Emma Watson, who is basically a pretty girl whom the makeup and hair crew attempted to make "geeky-looking". Did Warner Bros. think that the movie would bomb if the character were cast as Rowling intended her to look? Even with the books rocking the face off of children's literature?

Then there's how they cut out most of Ginny's scenes in the "Chamber of Secrets" movie, making the climax basically seem to the movie-only fan as if it came out of nowhere. I'm pretty sure Rowling didn't stick in concepts such as "foreshadowing" because she gets paid by the page (then again, seeing as the latest books could double as cinderblocks, maybe she is).

So... uh... basically... I think Gary Oldman as Sirius Black is a step in the right direction by comparison. Now if you'll excuse me, I think I need a towel. :D

Oh, and regarding the actual wank... God forbid that Harry and Hermione dress in contemporary clothing. Because it's not like they live in Muggle society or anything and thus need to fit in so that people don't think they're freaks.

Here's what I don't get: Why the flaming fuck is everyone saying that there won't be any Quidditch? When did anybody who was in any position to know (i.e. not your aunt's cousin's mother's physical therapist's dog walker) say this?

...ohhh, wait...it's because Cuaron cut Oliver Wood, isn't it. And without the requisite HAWT BOI, Quidditch obviously can't exist. 'Cause, y'know, heaven forbid that it's about the game itself.

Ooh, them there's fighting words. LOL. I think I see where that intimation occurs, and all I have to say is, it better *stay* an intimation, or watch me wank wank WANK all over that.

As far as all these criticisms go...

Emma's appearance: Holy Shit people...in Philosopher's Stone they don't wear their school clothes to save the day. Also, for fuck's sake, if these stills are all taken from the Shrieking Shack incident...that poor girl's coming off a long, shitty night. Cut her some slack. So what if her hair's lightened? So what if Herm likes her cute lavender-pink sweatshirt? OI!

Sirius, et al: I prefer to preserve my original wank regarding movie casting, that goes all the way back to PS and Columbus casting Rickman (much as I <3 him) as Snape. That bumped Snape and the Marauder generation up 20 YEARS, which fucks canon up the arse without lube, fingering or a reacharound. So, in that light, I have no problem with Gary Oldman. He teh hawt in Dracula. I will wank over Thewlis as Remus till I'm dead and buried, though. Just. NO. Wankity wank wank.

Draco: One can only hope.

And, oh, btw: IT'S JUST A MOVIE!!!!11111!!!

Don't these people realize how much worse it could be? Watch the movie Jurassic Park. Then read the book Jurassic Park.

So Hermione's hair isn't perfect. So what? Compare to a movie where Lex and Tim had their ages swapped, and Tim got his computer-geek schtick transferred to Lex. Genaro (the lawyer) is buff in the book and scrawny in the movie, while Malcolm is scrawny in the book and buff in the movie. Also, Genaro should live and Malcolm should die (well, until The Lost World fucked that up), and in the movie Malcolm lived and Genaro died! Oh, and Hammond should be dead but lived, and Muldoon should be alive but died, and...

Really. It could be much worse.

Actually, it's too bad Jurassic Park doesn't have legions of screaming fangirls and fanboys, because that could be a great wank in itself.

Strangely, what made me really laugh was this line from the third bit of wank:

- People were whining, moaning etc about every movie that's based off an important thing - Pirates of the Carribean, Spiderman, X-men, Holes. And those movies turned out great.

It is kind of a silly thing to wank over, but I never thought that movies based on rides were -that- important. Maybe I should've bitched more about it.

Damn you, POTC, you didn't have enough animatronic barmaids being chased by robot pirates!!!1! You didn't stay true to the ride at all!!1

Oh, the Harry/Draco fans are shitting kittens over that picture. I've been listening to it on my friends page for days now. I'm just glad someone finally posted the wank so I didn't have to. ^_^V Want some more fun, follow that LJ up until today - there's random wank over that movie interspersed with normal posts. Makes me want to scream.

I especially like how people are freaking because Harry *gasp* hugs Hermione. "OMG, that's so not CaNOn!" I could tell you with relative certainty that the picture they're all freaking over is from the part of the story where they both have the Time Turner over their heads at the same time - or should that be hidden behind a spoiler cut? :0 Please. Shut up already. H/Hr is not going to end the fucking world.

And from the pictures someone else already posted of Gary Oldman... heeeey, he cleans up *nice*! :D

Damn, did I not get my vote in on that parryhotter entry? I was sure I commented, with something like an, "Oh crap!" but I guess not.

See, I just plain don't like Gary Oldman. Never have. I was not thrilled when he was cast - thank god I'm not a Sirius shipper, or I really would have been upset.

And the whole idea that he doesn't have to look that great and only shippers think he ought to look sexy? C'mon, my mother was 100% for Johnny Depp in the role - not just the sex factor, I don't think - also because she thought he would be perfect for the part. And I'm positive she does not read fanfiction.

I'm more of the "wait and see" type, so despite my misgivings, I am planning to see this movie. And I'm not going to whine on about how everything I've seen so far is an indication that the movie is ruined completely. But I will admit it - I'm worried.
