Dagnabbit…. as seen on the newswires:
Time Warner Inc.’s Warner Bros. studio says it’s bumping "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" from its planned November release into next summer.
The sixth installment in the blockbuster franchise about boy wizard Harry now will open July 17, 2009 rather than Nov. 21, 2008 the studio said Thursday.
My wife and I were planning on celebrating our anniversary this November with a quiet holiday at home…and a trip over to a nearby multiplex theater which has an IMAX screen.
The article continues on to mention that the aftermath of the writers’ strike has left next summer’s movie season a bit sparser than normal. So, given an opportunity to boost revenues, the studio will have us wait an extra eight months.

So, I suppose congratulations or something are in order. From Variety:
Voters for the 28th annual Golden Raspberry Awards certainly knew what killed them in theaters last year. Thanks to Lindsay Lohan’s twin nods for worst actress, “I Know Who Killed Me” proved to be the most fruitful stinker in Razzie history, with eight “wins.”
In addition to Lohan’s double trouble, pic’s dishonors included worst picture, director, screenplay, remake or rip-off, screen couple and excuse for a horror movie.

I started imagining—and then longing for—the “Mystery Science” robots to be sitting a few rows up making fun of the whole thing.
From Colin McEnroe’s comments on Beowulf.
My wife and I have been debating whether it’d be worth the trek out to the local IMAX theater to get tickets (since you can’t guarantee handicapped seating when buying online) to see Beowulf, on the grounds that it looks interesting, and that it’s unusual to have a four-day weekend to ourselves.
We still probably will make the effort…but now I know that my overactive imagination is going to conjure the silhouettes of Crow, Joel, and Tom Servo down at the bottom of the 3D glasses.
