TRAILER. *inaudible squeak*

FIVE POINTS for a Dementor’s kiss that looks amusingly reminiscent the effect from “Hocus Pocus.”

TEN POINTS for hilarious H/R-age.

TWENTY POINTS for Hermione not knowing how to punch properly. (A slap is much more Hermione-ish, but come on, we all want her to punch him!)

FIFTY POINTS for Trelawney! The atmosphere in the classroom is all wrong, but Emma Thompson is spot-on.

TWENTY POINTS for coming up with a design for the Dementors that doesn’t look exactly like the Nazgul!

MINUS FIFTEEN POINTS for… was that Lupin’s voice? Say it aint so, Lord! Say it aint so!

TWO HUNDRED POINTS for the random newspaper-y background skin for the video that has “MOONEY, PADFOOT… are proud” and what is clearly Kaylee’s umbrella from Firefly.

MINUS FIFTY POINTS for spelling it “Mooney.” Tom Riddell, anyone?

And at the end of trailer: 240 points! Everybody wins!

Oh, and Prof Coviello switched our Digital Design Foundations assignment due date to Wednesday, rather than Monday. WOO-HOO! I’ll have time to study for my math exam! And no rehearsal tomorrow, so I’ll be able to study for my computer science exam!

In the meantime, someone please stop me. Our next paper for Visual Communications is to visually (and stylistically) compare two scenes from different movies as similar as possible in terms of content. Professor Messaris suggests remakes. I have a terrible, terrible urge to find the 1980 animated version of “Return of the King” (as the 1978 Bakshi version of the first half of LotR is reportedly godawful) and do a stylistic comparison to Peter Jackson’s. Hmm, starting at $9.25 on Amazon… Please, someone disapprove or something! So wrong, yet so right.
