[Rant] Minor Rant III: For a Few Hollers More

[Dei]

Is she aware he's not an American hero? Or American? Or anything closely resembling a hero?
Hey, we never get St. Patrick's Day off, so whatever, Columbus complainers.

I have long since stopped trying to sway my mom with logic.

 

[PatrThom]

Oh good, my mom is now complaining that America is not America anymore because my kids had to go school on Columbus Day.

I don't see the problem. Columbus was not American.

- The banks wanted another bank holiday.

...in October, since there wasn't one yet.

Celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving then?

What? Not in America!

Just said it out loud in a Scottish accent. Can confirm, quite funny.

Everything is funnier in a Scottish accent.



Except Cho Chang. That girl is a buzzkill.

 

[PatrThom]

Well, if you know the reference, why did you need it explained?

Actually I didn't realize it had been done before until after I went looking for other places where I'd mentioned him.

She's also not nearly as hot as the books had led me to believe. I mean, she's not unattractive, far from it. It's just that the books described her as someone who made Harry's internal organs do loops.

EDIT: although her Yule Ball dress was pretty awesome.

The books did give her a bit more imagination, but for the sake of brevity, I guess, they just seemed to cut her part in the movies to her being uncertain or depressed. She was Hufflepuff's Eeyore. (Her dress was very nice, tho'.)

Hot to Harry doesn't mean that she'll do the same for you. Obviously Harry's tastes changed too, he went with the redhead.

 

[Emrys]

Doomweasles could help.

Do you think ten would be enough or should I send the deluxe package?

 

[HCGLNS]

Better send 30. They may become distracted by nachos.

 

[Emrys]

I'll fly you here, but you have to cook and teach my kids when you aren't at the beach.

I can teach them to cook poutine and swear in French.

 

[HCGLNS]

Le fuck you!

 

[Emrys]

Le fuck you!

Love you too.

 

[HCGLNS]

I help where I can. Hinder where I can not.

 

[DarkAudit]

@Emrys' back! @Emrys' back!

 

[Emrys]

@Emrys' back! @Emrys' back!

I missed you guys.

Clearly. Practically every other possible love interest int he movies was prettier than Ginny. I know just beauty isn't all that important in the grand scheme of things, but it's still funny (to me) that Luna, Cho, Hermione and half a dozen others are all prettier than Ginny.

 

[Dei]

I enjoy how this conversation is all about how fictional girls don't meet your high beauty standards. I am picturing neckbeards everywhere.

The fuck? No, no, no a thousand times no. They were all pretty, but Ginny was the cutest. For obvious, manifest, undeniable and inarguable reasons.

Clean-shaven and married to a woman for almost 27 years now. Heck, my mom didn't even have a basement.


Just as an aside, you really don't find very many basements in Texas at all. Just not something that was ever really practical.

Actually, it's about how underaged actresses don't meet his high beauty standards

 

[Bubble181]

I don't have particularly high beauty standards. At the risk of coming off as quite crude, my girlfriend is at no risk of winning a beauty pageant - and neither am I. I'm just comparing books, imagination and movies. In the books, and my imagination, Ginny's supposed to be a somewhat homely girl who grows into a beautiful woman, Ugly Duckling style. In the movies, not exactly. Hermione was supposed not to be all that pretty unless magicked/made up all the way as for the Yule Ball. In the first movies, it was sort-of OK - the "Hollywood" version of "not all that pretty" (which is usually still prettier than 80% of girls). After Prisoner of Azkaban they pretty much gave up on that (see also: the boob job they gave her on all promotional material for Goblet of Fire, which I really thought was out of place considering she was playing a 15 or 16 year old...) and just turned her into the pretty protagonist girl.[DOUBLEPOST=1444754580,1444754491][/DOUBLEPOST]

Hermione's hair is redder than Ginny's. Back to you

Today Bubble learns what "lighting" is and how it makes a white-gold dress look like a blue-black one.

 

[Bubble181]

Doesn't change my opinion

Besides, even JK Rowling agrees: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/...-have-married-Hermione-admits-JK-Rowling.html

 

[Dei]

I enjoy how I make a joking neckbeard comment and you all become hyper defensive as well.

Today Bubble learns what "lighting" is and how it makes a green shirt look like a gold one.

Just some pointless trolling.

OH YOU

You now have a black mark in my book.

(However, I do find the Harry/Ginny relationship weird, but only because I found it weird - like there was no build up for me. BUT, I do NOT think Harry should've ended up with Hermione. At all. HISSSS.)

Arguing over which teen girl was prettier?

Arguing over which teen girl was prettier?

We are obviously and clearly only discussing the end scene of the 8th movie, where they're all 30+. Naturally.

After reading the last page, I'm guessing it must have felt a little too close to the truth.

That's what she said.


Er, implied.

 

[GasBandit]

I don't care what any of you uncultured swine say, the little red haired girl was hotter than Lucy OR Sally!
