New Harry Potter Movie postponed


Word is that the new Harry Potter movie "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince", that was scheduled for a November 21st, 2008 release, has been postponed. The new release date is July 17th, 2009.
The reason given by Warner Brothers, the film's studio is that last winter's writers strike has affected the whole movie industry and giving the movie an 11 month extension will "benefit from the re-writes", "help the box office" and fill a gap next year for a "blockbuster opening".
In the mean time, you Potterphiles, enjoy the trailer. The other Potter film, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" will be released in 2 parts, one in 2010, the next in 2011.

Bush, Jr. and Cheney aren't laughing at this tragedy. Bushie is on vacation. He was at the Olympics when the Russians went over the border and President Cheney made the verbal 'shot over the bow' that the Russians' action could not go unanswered.

Cheney plotted the entire scenario while Bush was out riding his bicycle. It's just part of their respective legacies.

Let's see if they actually agree to retire after the election. Of course, President McCain and his lobbyists would be akin to sending in the second team to start the third quarter, not retiring.
