How Much Is Enough, Harry?

As is our custom, we took a look at the stories and reports today from this past weekend at the box office, which we expected would be a little different from usual because of the holiday. Different indeed — our inescapable nemesis Lt. Col. Harold Potter, USMC, had not only been in America's top spot for two weekends in a row, he had pulled in a grand total of some $201 million. (Take a look yourself at the full report here.) Now that's, as they say, a spicy meat-a-ball-a! One thing that isn't different about this iteration of the Potter franchise is the articulate devotionals from bloggers, whose ability to annunciate their love for Harry & Co. is legendary. Here's an example: "k i dunno why every1 is sayin harry potter sucked but I THOT IT TOTALLY ROCKED!!!!! i wont give much away in case sum1 didnt watch it yet...but i thot it was awsome." Mmm. Profound. And take a look at this one, for perhaps a less nuanced but equally intent summation. And some of Harry's fans do actually come close to complete sentences... sort of. And if you've seen the latest Potter flick, you'll want to check this out, to take things to the next level.
