Movies
So I’ve recently picked up a new iPhone (I know, right?!) and it’s just might be one of the most exciting pieces of technology I’ll ever own. I’m not going to rehash any sort of reviews you’ve probably already read or heard about, though.
No, this post will be a list of movies that I like. I don’t actually have any particular reason for doing this, but I think it’s because I’ve been watching movies a lot lately (hello there, iTunes movie rentals conveniently streamed to my iPhone). And who knows, maybe you’ll get a better idea of what I’m like. OK, on to the list.
I’m partial to art and independent films, tragicomedies, dry humor, off-beat, reflective dialogue, anything unconventional, montage-styles, slow motion shots, and of course, the auteur theory.

Of Mudbloods and Ferrets
Take one look at any fanfiction site out there, and judging by the overwhelming number of stories written about them, one will find that Hermione/Draco is by far one of the most popular ships in Harry Potter fandom (the term “ship” stems from relationship). This is ironic, for JK Rowling herself has inveighed this particular pairing in countless interviews, and the epilogue of the last book is bittersweet testimony to her words (cue Mrs. Hermione Weasley). And for those of us that remain faithful to Potterverse canon, the mere possibility of a romance between Harry Potter’s best friend and worst enemy is nothing short of heretical. Why then, do so many passionate shippers continue to write and support the drivel? Further inspection shows that there is more to the couple than opposites-attract. It is a pairing that can espouse peace and tolerance; it destroys the hypocritical message in the books that says society will not tolerate discrimination unless it is aimed at “evil” persons (which in this case is Draco Malfoy, all-around Slytherin bad boy).
