“I would place #5 at #1. There is NOTHING that can ruin a movie faster than people who don't turn off their gadgets. I remember every single one - the woman with the strobe-light bluetooth during Watchmen and another during The Princess and the Frog; the guy who started surfing on his iphone (also during Watchmen), the girl who completely ruined Up by texting mid-movie, the gaggle of teenagers REPEATEDLY texting their friends and probably each other during The Box (why are teenagers watching The Box, anyway?)

Even during Up in the Air, there was the woman whose phone was off, but every time she recieved a text, her *purse* would light up.

Giving/recieving texts during a film is the equivilent to turning on a FLASHLIGHT in a darkened room. It is about the rudest thing you can do, and as you can see, my memories of all the listed movies will forever be just a little bit ruined by these people.

Parents also need to teach this to their kids. Teenagers are the worst, since for many of them, this type of unacceptable behavior is completely normal. The girl during "Up" actually seemed surprised when I told her to turn her phone off.”

“You are TEARING ME APART PUCKER!!!!!!”

“Olivander is back, hooray!”

“I wouldn't say I "miss it", but I will always be frustrated by the abrupt ending of Deadwood. That thing desperately needed some sort of epilogue or followup arc to tie it off.”

“*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*”

“I'm so glad someone else said this, I don't consider myself to be that "old", but I kept thinking to myself, "is this really what passes for music these days?" (and get off my lawn)

I find that these videos are almost always obnoxious, repetitive, and over-processed. . No one will remember this song a year from now,

I won't even get into the whole "videos-like-this-is-why-women-are-still-not-treated-with-equality" thing.”

“She looks happy and lovely, but those implants look like they are running away from each other. That is a classic example of some awful plastic surgery.”

“They're real, and they're spectacular!”

“Yes, they are real, and they seem lovely.

It depresses and scares me that there are so many fake boobs out there that many people literally no longer know what a natural breast looks like.”

“5-foot 10 and 120 lbs? She's already underweight. Ralph Lauren is clearly a sadist, misogynist, or both.”

“No one seems to be understanding the CONTEXT of the comment. The POINT was that if JN were gay, wouldn't it be in her best interest to suooprt gay rights and stop "dragging her feet" on the issue of DADT and DOMA?

The fact that Joy accidentally made an incorrect assumption simply makes her wrong about JN.

It doesn't take away from the point she was trying to make.”

“Yes, exactly.

These submissions sort of lose their oomph if they can easily be connected to a popular TV show / song / movie.”

“This is the angriest bit of spew I have read in a while. I tuned out a few paragraphs in, yet it just...kept...going.”

“Oh noes! Won't somebody think of the children?!?!?”

“I occasionally like a good Family guy joke, but this just seemed unfunny and mean.

Try again plz”

“No. No, no, no.”

“I'M FINE!

lol”

“She had a bunch of embryos, she could have discarded a couple and still had kids. So yes, since she refused to discard the embryos because she perceived them as being people, Madhyamika is not that far off-topic. This is a pro-life issue.”

“Normally I wouldn't think this, but this is one situation where I am glad that there is a camera and a camera crew with this woman 24/7. More eyes to make sure nothing bad happens.

(bad meaning accident, not malice)”

“The dress is ugly, but I applaud her refusal to buy a bolt-on chest. Small and natural>big and fake.”

“Angie has the better dress but Kruger has the better figure. When you are so thin it becomes distracting, it's time to have a sandwich.”

“I'm with everyone else.

This is a wonderful, tear-jerking story and you totally ruin it with a petty, childish, offensive headline.”

“I hate, hate, hate the Kabuki make-up on Johnny Depp. He could have played the role just fine without it. Probably better, even, because it wouldn't be so effing distracting.”

“Not since the whole "we wear vials of each other's blood!!1!" talk have I cared less about someone's sex life. And it always seems to be Jada running her mouth about this, too. I have never seen Will go on and on about it.

She just wants attention.”

“I went to bed annoyed last night having just come back from the show. The thing that irritated me the most was that, put simply, Yates told the wrong story. The plots of HBP are, in order of importance:

1) Meet Voldemort!
2) Intruduce the concept of the horcrux, start hunting
3) Hey, what's Draco doing? And why is Snape now teaching DADA?
4) kissy kissy smoochy love stuff, hormones, upcoming nuptuals, and quiddich

Now someone PLEASE tell my why Yates devoted so much freaking time to the love junk, and virtually ignored the actual *point* of the book, which is "Meet Voldemort". Instead of getting to know Tom, his creepy inbred family, his unfortunate witch mother (and more unfortunate father), the children in the seaside cave that he tortured, the old woman he seduced and murdered...we get Lavender, making faces, Lavender making hearts in the window, Lavender elbowing her way into scenes that don't even involve her...

Lavender Brown was an amusing subplot, not the CENTER OF THE STORY. Arrgh, it irks me thinking about it. Shame on Yates for not reeling that girl. She was cranked to 11; she should have been about a 6.

I blame Twilight.”
