Extended Deathly Hallows Trailer
Posted by Megs

There is a new extended version Deathly Hallows trailer on YouTube.  I’m not sure if it’s real (based on the text I assume it is fake), but it’s fun anyway.

More Details on Emma’s People Tree Collection
Posted by Megs

TimesOnline has a new article where we get a few more details on Emma’s collection, which will be coming out next month.  They also posted 2 new photos which you can see below.

What Watson, as Creative Advisor, has done differently, is that she has plaited together several fashionable threads to appeal directly to her peers. […] but what Watson provides is an understanding that a bit of Hollister jersey blended into American Apparel basics, and topped off with humorous slogans, will mean that these clothes can transcend their worthy beginnings — and just become cool.  They look comfortable too, which is vital when you consider that Uggs and leggings sell the pants of every awkward catwalk trend: there are cropped tracksuit pants, little sailor-stripe T-shirt dresses, cricket jumpers and hoodies, polo-tops and plaid shirts for the boys. As Watson herself admits, at present her competition is minimal. “I think young people like me are becoming increasingly aware of the humanitarian issues surrounding fast fashion and want to make good choices but there aren’t many options out there.”

[…] These hand scribbled Union Jacks and Margaret Howell-inspired pleat-front shorts, mean that People Tree can now compete with the brands that look nice but which, because of their manufacturing techniques, can never compete in terms of environmental and humanitarian awareness. I like the slogans too. “I’m not toxic”, written in a graffiti font across a plain tank top doesn’t look worthy, just as the hapzardly written “Please don’t panic. I’m organic”, actually makes you smile.

[…] The photography that accompanies the collection continues her youthful, American-college inspiration. There are clean-shaven men, looking simultaneously wholesome and sultry, alongside bright young girls with dorky facial expressions that somehow manage to look cute. If it all sounds a bit cringy then blame my powers of description: it’s a great little capsule collection with Watson’s name close by. In short, it is about delivering an important issue to a young market and, really, there is nothing wrong with that.

Gary Oldman’s Best Performances
Posted by Megs

WeAreMovieGeeks have posted up a list of Gary Oldman’s Best Performances and Sirius Black has made it as the 10th.

It wouldn’t be much of a surprise to see the first character on this list be an already established role that Gary Oldman has embodied in his career.  Sirius Black, once prisoner of Azkaban and would-be mentor to Harry Potter, kind of got the short thrift in the HARRY POTTER movies.  That didn’t stop Oldman, consummate professional that he is, from giving the part everything he had.  When it was first announced in 2001 or 2002 that Oldman would be joining the third HARRY POTTER cast, it was a blessing, as someone as gifted and as immersing as Oldman is is precisely what those films need.  He is but one of many reasons why PRISONER OF AZKABAN is the best film of that series.
