'Sup, pogs!
Let's all go to the movies, and let's all see the same movie, and let's discuss it here.
Gabe loves fan fiction. You Can Make It Up features his own personal alternate adventures starring some of our favorite characters.
After watching Death Sentence, a terrible movie starring Kevin Bacon as a father in search of vigilante justice directed by Saw's James Wan, Gabe embarked on The Hunt For The Worst Movie of All Time. This is his sad journey.
You don’t need to Accio us. We’re already here.
Does seem a bit redundant…yes?
I knew I was summoned here for a reason.
“What’s going on??? I find myself compelled to check Videogum despite myself.” – me, about every 10 minutes
This guy knows what you’re talking about:
More like Harry Potter and the Lack Of Interest From Facetaco!
…zing?
I would rather see the movie about Viking Owls.
You’ve been viking, haven’t you? I can tell by your owl.
Did someone say viking?
So would my kids. They’re very excited about the Viking Owls.
Accio Fandango! I’m seeing this shit at midnight, and no army of nerd haters can stop me.
Accio Emma Watson!…to the date I want to go on with you.
Sheis Isus Prettius

I love her
Only 6 and half more hours of suffocating production design and lackluster action sequences left to go.
As the nerdiest nerd ever to nerd (I designed and ran a summer camp for gifted middle schoolers that mimicked going to Hogwarts, complete with a visit from owls and a Quidditch tournament), I am there.
We might be soul mates.
One million upvotes.
I wish I could buy you a butter beer in honor of this awesomeness.
Briadru: I thought we already knew that?
Sota: I will take you up on that. See you at the Three Broomsticks.
I just didn’t realize how very real it was. You see, I made this tie using duct tape last year for HBP:
I’m coming too! Can I bring my pet pig?
Yay! Party at the “Sticks”* for the Vgum cool kids!
*It’s what the hipster townies call it.
Guys, this totally Wingardeum Leviosaed my spirits.
Totes alohamora’d my heart.
*Alohomora*
Nerd fail
No, it’s okay–that’s the Hawaiian translation.
You are the Lumos of my life.
Have you guys ever seen that FB group that has a list of Harry Potter Pick-up lines? It’s hilarious. Much more impressive than your average HP pick up line…aka “Is that a wand in your pocket or are you happy to see me?”
And while I find these great fun…I also can’t figure out who they would possibly work on.
See above.
Exactly.
Me. And probably Baby Friday.
*raises hand*
“I’d Hufflepuff that.”
Your House or mine?
The Astronomy Tower has a great view…
This only proves my theory that as everyone else got hotter, Rupert Grint got more funny-looking.
This kind of scares me. Creeper eyebrows.
Part of that’s the haircut. If you’re a ginger already, don’t make things worse with a pseudo-mullet.
Lest ginger kid come after me, I should clarify that I, too, am a ginger and can sympathize.
I disagree, Dexter. Rupert is #2 on my hot ginge list.
Can you do one that shows how Dobby has changed?
BIG EXCITEMENT!
But really, super pumped for this.
I want to share a link to one of my favorite things of all time (by Michelle Collins). Well worth the click-through, it’s hilarious.

I’ve never been able to determine what people mean when they call someone a hack. As far as I can tell, it means someone who made a lot of money doing something they’re pretty good at.
Hack? No! Great actually. But they gave up editing her. The last half of the series is an argument for why everyone can use an editor.
Sorry, that was meant as a reply to Ginger Ball Z
This is me, expressing my excitement for Harry Potter:
That is me always.
I have three young enablers who make me read them a chapter of HP every night. We’re on the Order of the Phoenix already, and my three year old learned the word “Expelliarmus” before he learned to pee in a toilet.
Awesome! I hope Gandalf kills the Balrog, or something.
I just gotta say, I hope that at least 60% of this movie is Neville kicking ass at hogwarts. That was the best part of book 7 and all it got was a paragraph. for shame, JK Rowling, for shame.
To be fair, the sad camping trip was pretty riveting – pretty sure Neville’s awesome Hogwarts resistance movement would’ve been a total letdown after that.
Many of these movies have come out around my birthday, this one no exception. My girlfriend (at the time) and I enjoyed the first movie on DVD, and so I asked her to take me out to see the second one for my birthday. Right before, we had a huge, ugly falling out and never went to see it. My point is, I’ll probably rent this.
