That never bothered me at all. I don't want the story to start with Petunia banging on that cupboard door.

That would mean the record labels are making us all highly gifted.

Sure, I just think it's a stupid thing to do, but to each their own. I mean, these things are expensive, why would you NOT open them?

It seems pretty daft to spend all your hear-earned money on stuff you're never going to open. Wouldn't it be better to, ah, enjoy it through other means and let people who do want to have these things have them since the system is utterly incapable of stocking these things regularly?

Wait, you can't end the first episode with the sorting. That's way too much. Why not end it after Hagrid reveals Harry's true story? If they're not going to do this as thoroughly as posssible, there's really no point doing it at all. As far as I'm concerned, the first two movies are already faithful enough. 1 certainly is. In any case, I'm only interested in what they're going to bring for 3 onwards. Maybe 4. Yes, 4, even though that movie was more than decent. But it's 5-8 that are begging for decent adaptations the most.

True, but what does that make the idea of producing a highly desired box set and then systematically not having it in stock for people to buy?

Listening to Corpse Bride. The Burton Elfman box remains the pinnacle of awful representation on album. Seriously, who could possibly think this was a good iea?

A beautiful day in the neighbourhood. I can’t recall ever being so moved by a character in a film. Tom Hanks gives the kind of performance you wish would never end. He’s the sort of person I’d simultaneously love to meet and be very hesitant to meet. I think I already know how the conversation would go. And still I wish I could have it. The lady who plays Joanne is also great, as is Chris Cooper. Of course, no soundtrack. Because the last thing a movie like this needs is a way to listen to the great music separately. Just another beautiful evening in OST land.

It only needs a redo if they find more HP3 alternates, but I've given up on those. This set is near perfection.

Now here's one we don't need.

That will only increase the giddiness.

What I've never understood is that bit about JW being very specific about which material should go where and then we end up with tracked material for the Riddle conversation and Dumbledore and Harry, a cue which is unforgivably lazy. But then, JW also gave us Home Alone 2.

Maybe they're waiting for a restock when they do Harry Potter 4 this Black Friday. One can dream.

That said, it IS unfortunate that such a great and high-profile product hasn't been in stock for, what, more than a year?

Anyone figured out yet whether the OST is complete?
