If you're not already camped out in front of your multiplex trying to get the best possible seats in the theater for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, we have a treat from the guys over at Indy Mogul - a rap-off between wunderkind Harry Potter and Voldemort, the guy with an unspeakable-thus-useless-name. While it may not have the same versatility as Vanilla Ice's "Ninja Rap" from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (a movie so great I'm compelled to write out the full title), there is something to be said for the ending which took 7 books to reach but only 3 minutes to re-write with a rap score. Or something. Anyways, if you enjoyed the Wolverine: The Musical bit they put out a little while back then feast your eyes on this:
Okay, so is it just me or did Harry sound a little like Mike D. from the Beastie Boys? With that aside, it is nice to see and ending that makes a little more sense (mass magical nukeage by the dark one). I know Rowling wants the books to have a happy ending and I know she ditched realism the second she added wizards, but if I know anything about massively powerful forces of evil (and I do), they don't mess around with overly-complicated plots and mechanations - they get right to the point. By that I mean they kill as many of the people they hate as fast as possible. It's just good business. |
