Darn Cute Dan!/TRL Videos/"Cocktail Party" Discussions

Jess, I have to agree, I can't imagine anyone else being Harry.  I 
don't care how tall or how deep the voice gets!  The main characters 
need to stay the same, IMO. 


Me:

Dan _is_ Harry for me now, too, and I agree with you totally!  


<<<-Jessica, who taped TRL and would be happy to try to make copies for 
anyone who missed it.>>> 

Well, Jessica...Nia, Christine and I are interested...you might want to see what you could get off of Ebay for it!  Start a little business there... ;-)

Actually, I was wondering if TLC puts anything up from TRL on their website?  They put up a little bit last year, so I'm hoping they do this year!  


Jessica also said:
Good to know Dan's parents are raising him out of 
the glare of the public and press. He just looked like he couldn't 
believe all this attention was being lavished on him. Hey, Dan -- 
you're Harry Potter! Get used to it. Aww, it was sweet. Just wanted 
to give him a great big hug. 


And I say:

Please, Dan, DON'T get used to it!  Never, ever get used to it and stay the sweet kid that you are!  I know that's probably impossible, but it's what I think Harry would do.  


And one more thought...

I know there were many differing opinions about eye color (I am not afraid to name it!), and I hope that we can always use this forum as a place to share our opinions about the HP movies.  

Cindy wrote a wonderful post on the main list about respecting other's pov and to not force a subject to close because someone is getting sick of it. I think this applies to the movie and ot lists as well.  She puts it much more eloquently than I ever could in this wonderful post I dub "The Cocktail Party Post" (#43225 if you want to read the whole thing).  Here's an excerpt:

 <<<See, I view this list as akin to a huge cocktail party. People are 
clustered in parts of a large room, discussing whatever is of 
interest to them. Some conversations are small. Others are large, 
involving scores of people. Some interactions are genteel, some get 
a little hot. Some people join conversations late, some leave 
early, and some stick around for the whole thing. When party guests 
stumble across a conversation that doesn't interest them, they 
quietly slip off, freshen their drinks, and join or start another 
conversation that is more to their liking. 

Usually, conversations at the party taper off and end because people 
wander away once they lose interest or can think of nothing to add. 
What cocktail party participants don't do, however, is attempt to 
steer a conversation or shut down a conversation if they think it 
has gone on long enough, perhaps by declaring the conversation 
tedious once they have grown weary of it.>>>

Thanks for letting me share my opinions about eye color, even though it was tedious for some of you. I did learn a lot, and I have calmed-down about the whole thing because of our discussion.  

Sincerely,

Lilac
