Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Website


So when I was younger I never fully knew/understood what my Dad did for work. Later I was able to do an internship at his office and I learned about his work and the company he worked for. It was a good experience and I enjoyed going to work with my Dad every day for the summer.

When my brother started working with computers I was also in the dark about what it was, exactly, that he did. Though he would explain it to me, I still never got it (I'm the least intelligent of the two brothers in the family). Now I get it, he does this.

My big brother Dan designs websites for movies and he puts together all the components that make it work and allow you to navigate the page, working with Flash. He designed the website for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. If your a Harry Potter fan and you dig the website, you can say, "I know a guy who's brother designed the latest Harry Potter movie site". And that is a cool thing.

Side note: I just saw The Life Aquatic last night. For some reason I really like Bill Murray in Wes Anderson movies. I'm drawn to his melancholic roles (which he's done more of lately) in the same way that Orson Welles's films appeal to me, especially The Chimes at Midnight.

This is likely a silly question, but have you seen Lost in Translation yet?

I started it but fell asleep. I noticed that Murray was playing a similar character, but I think Wes Anderson does a much better job than Sophia Coppola of bringing that character out in him. Or at least, I like how it is portrayed in Anderson's movies much better.

Yeah, I heard that the two roles were rather similar. Can't say that I liked LiT (although it did make me think), but I will give The Life Aquatic a go. Here, here to What about Bob?!

I haven't seen Life Aquatic yet, but it has a killer soundtrack by Seu Jorge. Nothin' like David Bowie in Portuguese.
