Half-Blood Prince: Pre-Viewing Review

The local theatre was sold out for the midnight showing of Half-Blood Prince. So, instead of watching the new movie I watched Prisoner of Azkaban and Order of the Phoenix tonight. Based upon those movies this is my review of Half-Blood Prince which, again, I have not seen.

JESUS FUCK-ASS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THESE MOVIES?

If you want to make a movie based on a book? The process is easy; the process is the opposite of difficult. You want to know what to do? Ok, here are the simple, easy-to-follow, retard with down syndrome instructions:

1) Open the book to page 1.
2) Have your set director replicate what is described on page 1.
3) Have Daniel Radcliffe say what Harry says on page 1.
4) RE-FUCKING-PEAT UNTIL YOU RUN OUT OF GOD DAMNED PAGES!!

Seriously. Turning a book into a movie is the opposite of difficult. There is, in no way, cause to have consternation over this process. The entire fucking movie is already laid out for you in the god damned book. The book gives you all of the dialog, ever. The book gives you all of the descriptions of all of the scenes, ever. The book gives your actors direction, your set directors a description of what they have to create, your director an indication of what he has to direct. It's as if, imagine this, it's as if you already have the script...in book form...and then you can take this script and fucking make a god damned movie using it.

I know, right? It's cake. It's easier than cake. It's Lindsay Lohan on a bender pre-baked cake. It's the simplest god damned fucking thing on the planet.

1) Take the fucking book.
2) Make what the book fucking says appear in the god damned movie.

And I know what you're going to say; I fucking god damned know what you will say: "But people won't sit still for as long as that sort of movie would run."


THEY SAT STILL TO READ THE BOOK YOU SEMEN GUZZLING CUNT SHITTER!

Christ damn it's not as if you're turning War and Peace into a movie. It's Harry fucking Potter. Everyone and their retarded niece has read it, twice.

You take the book.
You replicate what is in the book.
You make millions of dollars.

Fucking. Simple.

Good lighting, though. Damned good lighting. Props to the lighting guy.

MTG 2010 Rule Changes

Magic: The Gathering - 2010 Rule Changes: Source

1) Simultaneous Mulligans
Mulligans will now officially be handled simultaneously. This will significantly cut down on time spent shuffling before each tournament game.

2) Terminology Changes
2A) Battlefield
2B) Cast, Play, and Activate
2C) Exile
2D) Beginning of the End Step
This Is Fucking Awesome

3) Mana Pools and Mana Burn
3A) Mana Pools Emptying
Mana pools now empty at the end of each step and phase, which means mana can no longer be floated from the upkeep to the draw step, nor from the declare attackers step to the declare blockers step of combat.
This Is Fucking Horseshit

3B) Mana Burn Eliminated
Mana burn is eliminated as a game concept. Mana left unspent at the end of steps or phases will simply vanish, with no accompanying loss of life.
This Is Fucking Awesome/Horseshit

4) Token Ownership
We are matching most players' expectation by changing the rule such that the owner of a token is, in fact, the player under whose control it entered the battlefield.

5) Combat Damage No Longer Uses the Stack
As soon as damage is assigned in the combat damage step, it is dealt. There is no time to cast spells and activate abilities in between; the last time to do so prior to damage being dealt is during the declare blockers step.
This Is Fucking Horseshit

6) Deathtouch
First, deathtouch is becoming a static ability. Creatures dealt damage by a source with deathtouch will be destroyed as a state-based effect at the same time lethal damage would kill them.

7) Lifelink
Lifelink, like deathtouch, is turning into a static ability. If a source with lifelink deals damage, its controller gains that much life as that damage is being dealt.
