comic sans always screams fun
”Anyway — Harry,” said the giant, turning his back on the Dursleys, “a very happy birthday to yeh. Got summat fer yeh here — I mighta sat on it at some point, but it’ll taste all right.”
And a big happy birthday to JK Rowling!
“Don’t worry because I’m going to fight them off.”

I’m scared too little girl, I’m scared too.
ANNA KARENINA trailer, and the awesomely glamorous Baz Luhrmann-esque poster over here: http://www.hypable.com/2012/06/20/trailer-poster-anna-karenina/
Joe Wright’s directing it so that guarantees that I’ll be trying to catch this on the big screen. I mean, look at the visuals- the gorgeous, sumptuous design, lavish costumes, and the best part of it all (for me), THE TRANSITIONS (see: when Levin walks through the door into the wintery landscape). Also, I really hope they don’t cut out Levin and Kitty’s storyline too much. Seeing as that was probably one of my favorite parts of the book, that would be devastating. (But even if the movie ends up being horribly disappointing, at least we know that it’s going to look magnificent!)
- The Amazing Spider-man
- Brave
- Perks of Being A Wallflower
- Anna Karenina**
- The Hobbit
- Gravity
- Lincoln
- Django Unchained
- Les Miserables
- The Great Gatsby***
* In the end I know I’m only going to end up watching about three or four movies on this list and those will most likely be Perks, Anna, The Hobbit, and Gatsby.
** Hey Joe Wright and Focus Features: Can the trailer come out like tomorrow? Pretty please? :)
*** Well, it *felt* like billions when I was thinking about the list.

Movie Trailer of the Day: Flashy first trailer for Moulin Rouge director Baz Luhrmann’s movie adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, starring Tobey Maguire as narrator Nick Carraway, Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan, and Leonardo DiCaprio as the titular Gatsby.
Here’s the official synopsis:
The Great Gatsby follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings.
Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.
The Great Gatsby opens in 3D on December 25th.
