  1. Who is that?
  2. Eh? We're free to express ourselves on this forum. People do it all the time. "Eww, she's ugly," "I hate her personality," "Meh... KoRn are shit," etc., etc. As far as Harry Potter goes, there is legitimate criticism to be made, but then, I don't think they were ever intended to be nearly as deep and profound as many people have made them out to be. A lot of fans (the people over at www.mugglenet.com are a good example) blindly worship Rowling; they'll except any shit she throws at them as a literary masterpiece. The fact is, Rowling's work is not nearly as good it's made out to be. It's entertainment. It's fun and addicting, but that doesn't mean it's going to mean jack shit 20 years from now. Really great literature, books like Moby-Dick and The Red Badge Of Courage, have real depth; multiple layers of meaning and statement. On the surface they're adventure stories, like Harry Potter; but if you dig deeper into a really great book like these or another, there's a lot of other things to be found in those books -- be it some kind of philosophical exploration (like Moby-Dick), or whatever else, it means something more important than just some stupid story about a teenager. Harry Potter isn't very original, either. It's a pretty generic concept -- the little average joe finding out he's "the chosen one" to defeat the super epitome-of-pure-evil villain. And of course, his eventual victory has nothing to do with being stronger than the evil guy, but is instead some cheesy cliche crap about "love." Rowling's books were a big part of my childhood; I've read them all several times, apart from Half-Ass Prince. I suspect I'll even re-read them before the next one comes out, but they must be kept in perspective; they are NOT great meaningful literature.
  3. What file format will it be posted in?

    I'm watching Super Size Me right now. It's disturbing, but then again, I already thought fast food is gross.

  7. By far the most romantic thing a girl has ever done to me is tell me she liked my Led Zeppelin t-shirt.

    Will we be getting a video of the interview any time soon? I didn't get to see the entire thing. <_<

    Sweet, thanks.

    In the summer I shave my legs for bike racing, and that works ok. I have no interest in waxing. I guess the gist of what I'm saying is, I've no idea.

    No... if did that, it would be completely hypocritical, because I started threads for Alexa Vega and Emma Roberts, and have the most posts in Emma Watson's thread. Still, I didn't post any nude pics of them, so I still maintain the moral high ground.

    It just occurred to me that I confused your posts with Preci0us_Angel's posts.

    Caroline will turn 22 in a few weeks, and she's the one talking the most about how sexy Daniel supposedly is. Maybe it's not true pedophilia (she's not saying stuff like "omg I want to fuck him so hard," for instance), but it's still a bit odd, if you ask me.

    This thread is pedophilic.

    Thanks man, downloading now.
  24. It's not "shallow", it's "beauty racist". Please use the politically correct term. Which idiot invented the term "beauty racist"? *whistle* Everyone in here is a beauty racist.. Just so. This forum is inherently superficial. We're all drooling over Adriana's body, not her personality, right? Maybe most of aren't superficial in real life, we don't judge a solely on how they look, but we're certainly only paying homage to what we find physically beautiful here on this site.

    I'm still not a huge fan or anything, but she was great on Leno.
