The movies go into the importance of choice somewhat, like Sirius' mini-speech to Harry in OotP, but I think it would've been driven home even better had they gotten the prophecy right. I can't really blame Bob for thinking that Harry is just another special snowflake when the prophecy is just...

Yes, they will. Certain pledge tiers of the Kickstarter will get early access to the sketches on LRR's YouTube, but they will still be posted here on Mondays.

Yes, but the Video Availability page that I linked earlier has links to the LRR page, YouTube, Blip, the Escapist, and PATV for the videos listed. (In the cases when such a link is available, that is.) I found "Rejected 'Get a Mac' Ads" on YT, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCA9xi2Um84 but...

Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong on the details, but as far as I can gather, that happened when the site they used to host videos on (revver?) went under. If you check the LRR Wiki [http://wiki.loadingreadyrun.com/Video_availability], you can find out if any of the videos you're...

That's basically what it amounts to. It's all just to squeeze as much money as possible out of the series, because storywise it's pointless. The last HP book needed to be split to give some things context and room to breathe, which didn't get a chance to previously due to how condensed the other...

See, here's the thing, the films went out of their way to cut the bad bits or ramp up the good personality aspects of Harry, Hermione, and Dumbledore. Harry spends a pretty significant chunk of the last three books screaming and being self-righteous, which is nowhere to be seen in the films...

I will never understand how or why the OotP film is so short. I agree that the weight of certain things is never really hammered home (DH has the same problem with certain things.) They completely dropped the ball with the prophecy, for one thing, and that is a real shame. The prophecy is...

I admit that I have issues with some of the plotholes in the PoA film, because it's my favorite book of the series. I mean, really, why couldn't they write a couple lines of dialouge to explain how Sirius escaped from Azkaban? But in terms of the overall plot of the series, the holes in it don't...

I don't get why they didn't do that either. The only thing I can think is the fact that the film is rated PG-13 and that probably wouldn't have gone over well. I don't know. But I completely agree with you. Plus, I must admit that

You don't need to go into detail (I can't do spoiler tags either), but would the shot you're talking about have involved fire and a hat? If not, you're free to ignore me, I'm just really curious. As for Bob's review, I just wanted to say that I can understand him being confused in regards to...

Ulimately, his history doesn't really matter because, as ReservoirAngel and others said, it's racism. He's basically wizard!Hitler, there doesn't really need to be a logic to his actions. Plus, he comes from a severely psychotic and inbred family, which is something that was unfortunately cut...

You are totally right. I'm not the type to start screaming that books/films/songs/what-have-you are racist/sexist or whatever, but Twilight? Beyond any doubt that whole thing is misogynistic. It being SMeyers Mary-Sue fantasy makes that even more terrifying. Though, honestly, I could deal...

I think it would be cool if they added in the harmony feature that's in Beatles: Rock Band. A piano/keyboard thing might be cool as well. I really don't see the point in making a full sequel unless some big new feature or instrument is added to it. As far as actual music on the game, I'd...

For me it depends on how it's sampled. If it's a Puff Daddy-esque sample (I refuse to call him P.Diddy) which is basically some dope rapping over the original track, then hell no. That lacks any sense of creativity at all and brings absolutely nothing new to the table. But if we're talking about...

That woman is simply ridiculous and seems like the type that just goes around and purposely looks for anything to be offended by. The thing that really irks me about it is that she's teaching her son to be the same way. She wasn't explaining what it meant or said, she was explaining her overly...
