Were you starting to recover from the loss of Harry Potter in your life?

Get ready to relapse:



A documentary about the end of the Harry Potter saga? Yes, please. In making When Harry Left Hogwarts, filmmaker Morgan Matthews had crazy access to the sets of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts 1 and 2.

Now to the important questions: How did those kids all turn out so okay? Shouldn't child stardom have turned them all into crazy assholes? Can I please have Emma Watson's short haircut and look as adorable as she does? Where is Draco? How much do I love Daniel Radcliffe? On that note, how much do I love Emma Thompson (best advice of the trailer: therapy)?

I will be watching this.

wanna spend 30 minutes staring at a screen?

It's the only way to truly test how much of a pop culture nerd you are. Check out GrĂ©goire Guillemin’s fantastic "Famous Capsules" pop culture icons poster, and see how many you can name!

I wish this were funnier

Derek Zoolander stopping by Weekend Update to give New York Halloween tips? That has all the makings of amazing-ness. As it is, it's a little more "eh", though it's always nice to catch up on his new look. Some people prefer Magnum, but I'm more of a Le Tigre girl myself- it's a little softer, he uses it for catalog looks.

the man makes some strong points...

oh dear god

In what is officially the worst news of my day, the Oscars have announced the host for next year's show, and it's the star of such Oscar classics* as these:





(note that his name is featured 5 times despite there only being 3 movies. How does he do that?)


Those long-time readers of 3pies4rolls know that we kinda sorta love the Oscars. It might actually be our favorite holiday of the year. It's possible this blog was started completely as a place to share that love (and our Top Ten Lists that go hand-in-hand with it). So why the Oscars don't just listen to us and have NPH and Hugh Jackman host, I will never know.




And, yes, I know this is the same man who gave us Coming to America, Trading Places, and even Dreamgirls more recently. But seriously, go up and look at that Norbit poster again. I dare you.

By the way, a tradition at the 3pies4rolls Oscar Day Celebration (it's very exclusive) is prizes for 1st, 2nd, and last place in the Oscar pool. Last place is always your very own copy of a truly terrible movie that has come out in the past year. Where do we always look first? What did Eddie Murphy make this year? Thanks for trying to ruin my Oscar Day, jerks.

*No, seriously, Norbit was nominated for an Oscar. You can now go cry.
