    I'm not a big pirates fan, although Ill watch anything that has Johnny Depp,
    But as for Harry Potter, I started when the first book came out, and loved it and then read the second and so on, and then the movies came out and they were good... I've been with harry from the beginning, and he is kind of a part of me now... I think a lot of people are that way. Many people literally grew up with those books...

    I do not care for either one, so I do not see the attraction. But many people do and that is what makes the world go 'round.

    I love Harry Potter books. The stories are wonderful and the characters are so great. They are just fun reads.

    I'm with you AlkalineAngel, I'll watch anything Johnny Depp is in, it could be a snuff film and I'll be there first row.

    Oh trust me I fought kicking and screaming but finally a friend totally convinced me to read one of the book (mostly because has had been a very serious English literature major in college) and I loved it. In fact I read it all in one sitting then promptly raced off to the bookstore to buy the others.

    And Johnny Depp is just gorgeous no explanation needed there

    It's all about preference. Not everyone agrees on who is cute. My gf's like Matthew McConaughy and I don't get it - I think he looks like a weirdo. I also think that Brad Pitt is just a little bit too pretty for my taste, however I think George Clooney is so handsome.

    You like what you like...

    Wow, I haven't seen a really good comedy come out in a while. Norbit was okay. Epic movie stunk. Hot Fuzz was okay, not that great. I'm waiting for Delta Farce to come out! Definitely looking forward to that.

    Mostly the comedy I like is like "Blue Collar Comedy". That's awesome. :)

    I agree, Brad Pitt is too much of a pretty boy. Yucky. I sort of think Edward Norton is cute :)

    If your a johnny Depp fan, there's no way you don't like Pirates, I think its attraction is the fact that once uve watched the movies, you don't talk about what johnny depp was like in the movie, you talk about captain jack. He's not a typical hero, and that's fun for a change.

    Personally I was a really huge fan of the pirates of the Caribbean ride in disney world, so the way the movie included bits of the ride so well was fantastic.

    As for Harry Potter, the books are genius. I'm not a big fan of the movies though (id call them ok), obviously you cnt put a 600 page book into 2hours but they just slip up and make simple mistakes way 2 much in the films. Specially the last 1.
