Harry Potter strikes back

Muggles, start your crossover plugins."
yeah, star wars was much less childish and much more realistic and believable. so was star trek, and spiderman, and the x men... etc.
lighten up, you arrogant prick.
while the image you linked to is quite amazing, i dont think it is the right one :). so moderators, the link above has a picture of a man with his own penis in his own ass. i think it's off topic.

Well, actually it is. Star Wars had an adult theme to it.. war. Harry Potter (which I was begrudgingly dragged to watch by my wife) was a pile of horse shit that seemed aimed at 8 year old kids. I might as well have been watching the next Disney flick. Now, there's NOTHING wrong with that if the audience is 8 year old kids, but I would imagine most Slashdot readers are in their teens or twenties (yes, and many are older) and should really have grown out of this phase. Lord of the Rings is one thing since there's decent swordplay and orcs, but this childish bullshit world of Harry Potter's little wizard school is gay. Whoever wrote this movie had to be smoking crack because it's got to be the worst representation of wizardry I've ever seen.
ok, i see your point, but i don't agree.
... hell, half the people reading and posting here play video games 8 hours a day and read comics and play board games, etc... a LOT of them check out the comics these days because loads of the women characters are dressed in next to nothing and it's a cheap thrill checking out a pic of a hottie with a big gun and bigger tits.
who typically writes the shit aimed at 8 year olds? adults, right? they are idiots because they have the ideas and put them on paper? saying something is childish simply because it isn't full of blood and guts and tits and ass, ins't 'grown up' is sad. yes, the disney flicks are sugar coated and sometimes stupid, but enjoying reading kids books or seeing the movies makes you childish and stupid? i don't think so
i think it's more offensive when someone thinks a show, movie or book kicks ass just because it has tons of that hardcore shit... look at the latest star trek series. a hot as hell vulcan? what a crock! they are pandering to mindless fools looking for a cheap thrill rather than attempting to make a cool show. i love seeing a hottie as much as the next guy, and the stories don't have to hold the meaning of life or anything, but substituting that for substance to sell a show or book is simply insulting to my intelligence. i have to see tits and ass to be interested? blood and guts? give me some credit here... so just because i like kids stories i am a moron? i don't think so...
you like blood and guts, fine... not for me, but go for whatever gets you going. i love dumb ass stories and stupid action flicks as much as i loved the lord of the rings movie and when i read it as a kid. oh, and i like harry potter and other kids stories.
have some respect here for others if you expect them to have some respect for whatever it is that you enjoy.
What, did they hire some actors for this one?
