Old Charlie stole the handle, and the train it won't stop going no way to slow
down.

This post is so utterly convincing it reminds me of the End of History as
Sellers and Yeatman described coming up to date with the American superpower.
It was of course a double-edged joke, as history never ends but what's the
point in history when you can see it being repeated badly.

And so with Hx Harry and his internal Devil. Warner Bros will weep with joy,
finally they have a franchise to whip Disney's butt with, if they can think of
enough sufficiently cash-worthy ventures. Harry Potter And the Fiftheenth
Revision ad nauseam.

Barry, sign the contract with Warner and get on with it. Give us *something*
in this universe of our own before they build the themepark...
