So I saw your Harry Potter and Hunger Games sins videos.
Yeah? Read the books, ***!
So you’re saying that any movie based on a book, I need to read the book first?
Yeah. Okay, All the President’s Men. That movie’s
based on a book, and I’ve never read it, but that movie’s awesome. You wanna know
why? Cause they explain everything. And that movie’s entertaining. And it’s better
than Harry Potter and Hunger Games. Combined. You’re comparing one of the most important
political stories of our time to fantasy novels? Now, let’s just say the movie All the President’s
Men didn’t explain everything, maybe there’s a phone call or a clandestine parking lot
meeting, but we don’t get to see it. But all the sudden Woodward & Bernstein know all
this sh*t about Watergate but we didn’t see how they learned it. Right, now you would
sit there and tell me to go read the book. Well, what I’d probably say—
Or you’d say, “Don’t worry about it, you can figure it out in five seconds if you
just think about it.” Well, sure, I can figure out that somebody told them. Somebody
probably that worked at the White House. But if I don’t know who it is, if I don’t
understand their They make movies like Harry Potter for people
who read the books. Bullsh*t. Studio guys would throw themselves
off a bridge if they made book money. Are you telling me the only people they want to
enjoy the movie are the people who read the book?
Filmmakers can’t put everything from the book into the movie. Why does it matter if
Hagrid is dragging a tree. What the f*ck is wrong with you?
I’ll tell you why. Magic. I’m watching a movie about magic and they’re making this
poor *** drag a giant f*cking tree all the way across campus. Is he married to Darrin,
from Bewitched? Do they have some kind of a gay pact--
Why does the pact have to be gay? --to not do magic?
Look, all this is explained-- In the book? Yeah, well that’s another thing.
Why do I even care what you people who read the book think? You people are the hardest
to please in the world. You nitpick everything. Oh, they changed the boa constrictor to a
Burmese python! Or they didn’t do Peeves the poltergeist! Or they left out the Sorting
Hat’s song! But if I point out one inconsistency in the movie, you tell me “Go read the book.”
Makes everything better, right? Well, you wouldn’t ask as many stupid questions
after. And while we’re on the subject of magic…
is it like the Force? Do you have to believe you have it before you actually have it? I
mean, they’re all sitting around waving wands, doing this pseudo-Latin. If it really
comes down to who pronounces it the best, aren’t they really just taking language
courses? I think it’s like what Malcolm Gladwell
said. It takes, like, 10,000 hours of practice to become a master.
Well then Hermoine should be the best wizard in the whole series. All she ever does is
read, study, correct people, and go to the library. She’s a better wizard than Ron.
She’s a better wizard than Harry. She’s probably a better wizard than Dumbledore.
Dumbledore definitely has more than 10,000 hours of practice.
That’s why he does magic in one movie out of eight.
