Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets Leaked
huh12312 writes "Illegal piraters have done it again. On Monday, the second movie in the acclaimed series of seven was leaked onto the internet to the horror of Warner Brothers. With so many blockbusters due out this holiday season this problem will only increase in the coming months." Also note that it will make millions and millions of dollars anyway. I'll probably be there opening night.

Noted. But, hey, wouldn't those two cents make a nice comment, subject to the same moderation and responses as your readers' comments? There's plenty of room here in the peanut gallery, even for a millionaire such as yourself.
Also, the MPAA thanks you for your endorsement.

Terrorism does kill people.
Weed mostly hurts the folks involved in the business of distributing it. To which we can thank the war on drugs.
Millions (or billions) of dollars will be spent on fighting something thats both unpreventable and not always socially or economically damaging.

I normally don't complain about technical issues, but when I see someone "correcting" another with wrong information, I get annoyed. So here goes.
>>It actually stops a third of the way through the story.
Middle:
"2. Intermediate, intervening. a. With reference to position in space, time, or order."
-The OED Online
Sure, there are definitions that specify that it is in the exact middle, but "middle" can be used to refer to things between that aren't half-way.
>>You could do that too as you clearly don't realise that the FotR is but a mere third of the opus. I also suggest you buy a dictionary as this embarrassing episode could have been avoided
if you knew what "trilogy" meant.
OK, so technically LotR isn't a trilogy because it's one work and a trilogy is three ("2. Any series or group of three related dramatic or other literary works"), at least as Tolkein fans would have it. Whether or not it actually counts as a trilogy however is in question. I feel that it should. The Star Wars movies (I'm talking the originals here), after all, are referred to as a trilogy without question, yet they are all one story and have been since the beginning. The only difference is that the first Star Wars movie can stand apart from the others while FotR cannot stand apart from the others. So basically in my opinion, if Star Wars is a trilogy, LotR is too. (Though I will admit it's harder to decide since Tolkein originally wanted one book rather than three.)

I really don't get why people say loose when they mean lose.
Loose rhymes with goose, moose, noose, and caboose. It fits the following sentences:
Lose rhymes with use. It comes from the root word lose which only has one 'o'. Similarly, lost, the past tense, only has one 'o'. It fits in the following sentences:
If you are going to mispell 'lose', at least spell it 'luze'. That way it doesn't confuse those of us who see 'loose' and pronounce it properly.
The only word I can think of that is spelled like loose but pronounced like lose, it choose. I'd hardly think that would confuse though.
