Maybe try hitting up a drugstore. I read somewhere there’s this liquid stuff you can use, but if you slip up again 😁 the bitter taste just hits you right in the mouth. Ps. Nails are basically a shield. What are you actually scared of? Who's getting under your skin—one of your parents? It's that frustration where you feel like you're literally about to eat yourself alive. Just think about it; someone's messing with your head, and biting those nails is just your way of protecting yourself. Someone mentioned before that it's all in your head, and honestly, they're right. Just tell yourself you aren't going to do it. Your subconscious will eventually fall in line. Give it a shot.
It honestly blew my mind when I read they offered him such a pathetic paycheck for the sequel. It’s just plain stupid to me—if they're pulling in that kind of massive cash, how can they not just release everything properly? Like, just get all the footage from the first one out there and call it a day. The only way I can justify the delay is if they were slowing things down because of the late Richard Harris; the man was sick, so I get it... But replacing him might be easy enough if they grab the guy who plays Gandalf or even that legendary Lee ( Dracula, though replacing Potter, Ron, and Hermione is going to be a much harder sell for me. Honestly, Ron gets on my nerves with those goofy faces he makes; he’s nothing special to me, yet people rave about him. As for Potter, he needs to look terrified and a bit dazed after spending years running from monsters, and I think that actor actually nails it. At least we had the same cast for the first three movies. For anyone who wants to feel like a kid again, these movies are perfect. I'm already looking forward to seeing a hidden street, some wizard tournament, elves... The whole thing is just magic...😁 😉
Finally caught the second installment yesterday. I’m totally with everyone saying the new guy—old Malfoy—was great. That actor really nailed it; honestly, it’s not his fault Harry has to win (😁 😉 ). Snape comes off as some kind of saint next to him in this one. He felt way more convincing in the first movie, but now he feels like they're trying too hard to make him look "good," if you know what I mean. They just didn't let him shine as much. I wouldn't even be surprised if he and Harry end up being best buds by the end of the book; people always mention how ride-or-die he is once he actually cares about someone. 😁 Maybe it's just because everything felt so fresh to me, since the first one hit way harder than this sequel. The special effects? Always top-tier. The plot sticks pretty close to the book. It was a little annoying hearing the main guys, Ron and Harry, going through that awkward voice change phase. Their voices are all over the place. Malfoy has grown up so much, he's practically outshining the others. It’s a shame they didn't just knock out all four movies in a row while they were still kids, because they're growing up fast and won't fit the roles forever. Personally, I can't stand it when they swap out a key character after just two or three movies. Apparently, the kid playing Potter isn't even sure if he wants to do the third one. Lame. To me, he looks exactly like Harry should; he’s not some method actor genius, but he fits the vibe perfectly. The family he lives with? Everyone's a perfect fit, though I have to say, Ron's mom wasn't quite how I pictured her. And Dobby? Total dud. From the look to that grating voice (I kept thinking of that Jar-Jar from Star Wars who was just unbearable—they’re definitely in that same league), he's barely tolerable at times. I guess it was just cheaper to do a CGI job than to actually find a real person to play him. Despite all that, I'm stoked for the next BOOK, but as for the movies... who knows. It could only go downhill from here, especially since we already lost the actor who played Dumbledore...
If anyone else is on the same page, feel free to dive deeper. All I’ve ever heard is that The Matrix was basically ripped off from some other movie. You clearly know your stuff, so if you're feeling it, lay some more knowledge on us. I’ve always had a soft spot for American Graffiti. As far as American movies go, I can always get behind something like The Departed.
I’ve no clue why your palms are turning red, but I definitely know what happens when they go yellow. It happened to me—palms went bright yellow, though my feet stayed fine. It wasn't some mystery disease. Want to guess why? I basically overdid it on beta-carotene. I was slamming mandarins and oranges like they were candy, then moved on to all those fruit juices. I mean, sure, you get it from carrots and pumpkin too, but I wasn't eating nearly as much of that stuff. Once I cut back (losing about 5 or 6 pounds a day worth of that fruit intake), everything leveled out. After that, I just kept an eye on it. Still, go see a doctor.
Can I just add one more thing? 9. You think he's putting on productions of Hamlet down in Lower Merdu? 16. Australia 20. Frank Sinatra 24. Cyclops 34. Maybe chess? 41. Roger Moore 42. Jewish woman 47. Honestly, I'm not feeling it.
PS. Yul Brynner was actually born in Russia, not the United Kingdom.
Thank God you guys went through my post and transcribed everything so neatly. Honestly, you’re probably gonna regret skipping over my little tip about how damn effective Heparin actually is, but hey, whatever... let it be.😎
I literally saved my nail with some Heparin gel. Check if your local CVS or Walgreens even carries it. I smacked right into a glass door—total klutz move—and some lady there told me to try this gel. I honestly thought I was gonna have to rip the nail off, but I just kept applying it and it actually worked. Seriously, highly recommend it for everyone; it’s great for veins, broken capillaries, bruises, and all that stuff too.
