Why does it take so long to release a movie that has already been made?
Well once its finished it has to go through post production, editing etc, make sure its done right and nothing needs re-filmed, then the promotion and such takes place..then its released to its baying public, it sometimes takes months to brainwash people that your movie is awesome. However in the case of harry potter, i can see that movie being available for download someplace before cinema, the pirate groups now have 9 months to get to that movie.

Is he a good singer?
I'm a big fan of Johnny Depp as well. I've seen him in:
Benny and Joon
What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
Pirates of the Carribbean (1 & 2)
Edward Scissorhands
Don Juan DeMarco
Ed Wood
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Sleepy Hollow
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Finding Neverland
I loved him most in the first 4 (counting Pirates as 1). He's such a versatile actor isn't he? When you watch him as Captain Jack Sparrow, you can't believe it's the same person who played Gilbert Grape or Ichabod Crane.
I haven't seen Sweeney Todd yet because I'm worried it'll be too scary for me
Great movie.
Have you seen donnie brasco? thats a good movie with captain depp in it

I know:roll: I was really looking forward to it, and was quite disappointed, in my opinion not as interesting as 1-6, I much better liked it when they were at Hogwarts- all that camping drags. And then to split it in two? It's gonna drag even more!
it gets worse, the two movies will be ages apart, maybe even a year if they stick to their current attitude.

Yup - Book 5 is the thickest one in the set and they didn't split THAT one. Most of Book 7 is taken up with the Terrific Trio camping for, like, EVER - you don't need to spread that over 2 films - personally, I thought the 7th book far to long because the camping was sooooooo drawn out. To me, slplitting the final book into 2 films is an excuse to prolongue the series and make extra money, as is the delay of the 6th film to a spot where there is less/no competition. I am now VERY much inclined to boycott the final films because of all this nonsense. After all, I wasn't all that impressed with the last one (too much missed out and glossed over to hold my interest)...
me too. Il see you outside the cinema with picket signs!

Welcome!

What? That's a bit stupid. I think I've heard that Number Seven's going to be split into two parts also because of this excuse...
Part 7 was always planned as 2 movies as there was going to be too much to cram in (book 7 is huge to be fair). Then again they could have released it as a super long movie, but there would be less profit in that I suppose. Money grabbing studio's make me a sad panda

Thats a good point, I have lost track of the times ive went for a quiet night out at the theater only to be confronted by a packed house of children.Another possible reason doing the rounds is that it's because Daniel Radcliffe will be in the middle of the Broadway run of Equis at the time of the orginal date of release. A play that shows him naked and having sex. One theory is that it's not the image that Warner Brothers wants associated with Harry Potter which is primarily a childrens film.How much truth there is in this theory I'm not too sure as if it was going to be that big of a deal surely WB would have put a stop to him taking on the role to begin with but then again maybe they didn't know it was going to be so successful.
WB will just look more and more stupid if these theories continue.

I've heard it's because a few movies are coming out in November, but in the Summer there's a weekend when nothing comes out, so they're doing it then.
but schedules change all the time, there is no garantee that because no movies are coming out on that weekend as of now that things wont change. I see this as a massive slap in the fact to fans to be honest. They should have just released a press statement saying "we wish to squeeze every single penny out of these already hugely profitable movies, no matter how much it makes fans wait"

Welcome!
Sure you will find plenty of inspiration for books.

I thought I'd give Radio 4 a try this morning.....it was posh people describing a narrow boat Think I'll be avoiding that station for a while I would have HAD to have kept listening to that for the sheer hilarity.
-
So I didn't need to rush and finish the book after all then:motz:
meh, half blood was uneventful, i cant even remember it, thats how bland it was.
-
Even then, people are going to see harry potter no matter what, its going to make a fortune even if its released at 1am on xmas eve and only shows in the following 24 hours. Delaying a movie by almost a year to "guarantee" a big cash flow = your not seeing a penny of my money.

Does anyone actually buy these reasons? "the after effects of the writers strike" ? what does that have to do with a film thats *ALREADY* been filmed, edited and prepped for release? -
No problem, to turn it off just hit it again (its on the top right, f12 then prnt scrn then scroll lock)

Beef, do you have VIsta installed on yr laptop?
hahahaha...ahahahahah..no.
my dad had to borderline beg just to get xp on the laptop, I tend to use linux for most things these days. Vista tends to cause more problems than it solves, I could not be paid to use it.

I have a printed version from gutenberg in my tbr , but I did see the movie the other week and enjoyed it so might wait a bit longer to read it.

good luck!Thanks Beef, I'll try that.

install software from cd > convert file via their software>put file on mp4 player>win.Oh so that's what the cd is. Thanks Beef. Any hints on how I should go about that? -
I am serious. This probably stems from me not taking a break between finishing a book and starting a new one.Are you serious, or is this a joke? -
Yep it is. I have a video, which I can watch on my laptop, but when I copied it to the MP4, I get the message 'file format error'. I am thinking that I need to download some sort of Codec for the Mp4?
The majority of mp4 players wont let you load external codecs, it sounds like you may need to convert the downloaded video (did your player come with converting software?)

The chronicle of the 21'st century. That way I buy myself rather a lot of time.

I generally only listen to talk radio, the only radio station I listen to even occasionally is http://www.wbai.org/
I mainly listen to off the hook/off the wall.

The book im currently reading is a factual account of the Sicilian mafia, not the first place id expect to find a laugh but earlier i was reading and the author described a mafioso of
"Sticking out like a toad in a tutu"
This maybe a common saying somewhere? but I have never heared it and I eventually just had to put the book down for a few mins.
