The movie opens with a scene in a seedy, dimly lit hotel room, with a
paddle fan slowly rotating. On the bed is Harry Potter, portrayed by
Daniel Radcliffe, hallucinating as his voice over tells the audience
"Brighton ... I'm still only in Brighton ..."
Later, we see him talking to two representatives
from the Ministry Of
Magic, who send him "up river" (the Thames) into "Bandit country" to
deal with a renegade senior wizard and former Hogwarts Defence
Against the Dark Arts teacher (Curtiss) who has persuaded the
primitive local inhabitants of Oxford to worship him as a God, due to
his understanding of fire and the use of edged tools.
There is a surreal scene of punting on the Isis as wizards and
witches
on broomsticks zoom overhead, strafing the banks with lightning
bolts
as a Witchfinder Lieutenant-Colonel declaims "I love the smell of
ectoplasm in the morning"
Eventually, Harry mortally wounds Curtiss, who, as he's dying, points
at
Potter and accuses him with the words "The Auror ! The Auror !".

Notwithstanding that expiry-dates are more a guideline than an absolute, one really shouldn't allow a foodstuff enough time to go over to the dark side under its own power. |
|
| |
I've rarely scene more efforted expunged upon a single pun. |
|
| |
You know Hearts of Darkness was the documentary
right? |
|
| |
Really ? Up to now, we had understood that Heart of Darkness was a
Merchant Ivory production ... |
|
| |
I came in here expecting some sort of classical literary
foolishness, indeed, but pop culture schtick is just as good. |
|
| |
No Joanne Whalley=no bun. |
|
| |
And I'm equally sure there is an international ban of merchants of ivory, seems a bit unfair, but there you go. |
|
| |
haw. I just got the pun (the bun was for the initial image) |
|
| |
not to mention Amazon's role as Merchants of De'ath. |
|

She can star in the "Playmate" scene if you want, no problem. |
|
| |
What's the musical score? |
|
| |
We're open to suggestions. |
|

//She can star in the "Playmate" scene if you want, no problem |
|
| |
Now, arse of darkness, that would be something..... |
|
| |
Yes, it would. That would be, in fact,
Unabubba. |
|
| |
Like you could do any better ? C'mon then, let's see it. Give it your best shot. |
|
| |
Or that recent report on streetlighting in Watford, the Herts of Darkness. |
|
| |
Not to mention the recent quality control lapse in Guandong province, where the black cushion cover surplus dye wasn't properly washed out, see trading standards report 2014/982 - the arse of darkness. |
|
| |
Like the chestburster, a pun needs to be released into the wild. |
