Quote 83Notes

And so Hermione Granger, that charming grind, still goes to the Hogwarts library and spends hours and hours working her way through the stacks, finding out what a basilisk is or how to make a love potion…. Now, having been stuck with the library shtick, she has to go on working the stacks in the Harry Potter movies, while the kids who have since come of age nudge their parents. “Why is she doing that?” they whisper. “”Why doesn’t she just Google it?

– Adam Gopnik, “The Information: How the Internet Gets Inside Us,” The New Yorker, February 14 & 21, 2011 (via libraryland) Via Libraryland

Want to watch in 2011
  • Black Swan: check, Aranosfsky’s the first choice for visually impressive cinema
  • The King’s Speech: with the list of nominations and awards growing longer every day, can’t keep track any more
  • Blue Valentine
  • Never Let Me Go: Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan side by side, sounds interesting
  • Jane Eyre: need to know if my kind of love-hate-relationship with the book will resolve when seeing the movie. Besides, I really, really go for costume dramas!
  • Tamara Drewe: well, chiefly because it’s British
  • Rio: inner-child-issue
  • Barney’s Version: Dustin Hoffman, nothing more to add.
  • Water for Elephants: Christoph Waltz AND Robert Pattinson?
  • A Dangerous Method: Freud and Cronenberg; not that much a fan of Freud, though, remains to be seen whether I like it or not
  • My Idiot Brother: note to self: think of something to write about the film
  • My Week With Marilyn: realse date not sure yet

…tbc…
