The featurette also hints at what may become my favorite sequence of the movie, when Harry, Ron, and Hermione fight Draco in the Room of Hidden Things before it gets set on fire and they have to make a quick getaway. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 comes out on July 15.

| Celebrity Lookalikes: 7 Things Nic Cage's Booking Photo Resembles Posted: 18 Apr 2011 10:12 AM PDT Nicolas Cage had quite a weekend, eh? The actor was arrested in New Orleans on Saturday for drunkenly fighting with his wife over the location of his rental home (seriously, they couldn’t remember which house it was). Witnesses called the cops, who hauled Nic in and charged the actor with public intoxication, disturbing the peace and domestic violence battery, for allegedly grabbing his wife’s arm. At the station, the above booking photo was snapped — and, well, it is pretty ridiculous. Here are seven things we think Nic’s mugshot looks like.

Ah, Coachella: the one weekend a year when celebrities and plebeians alike gather in the desert to see music, drink beer, and tweet about the oppressive heat (especially bad this year, we hear). So who attended the festival this time around? Everyone from Kirsten Dunstto Danny DeVito. Post from: Crushable |

| A Brief History of Literary Hoaxes Posted: 18 Apr 2011 09:33 AM PDT Author and activist Greg Mortenson, whose acclaimed book Three Cups of Tea has been a perennial bestseller, recently admitted that the story was “more of a fairy tale.” In the book, Mortenson chronicled his experiences as a mountain climber, and tells of how he was injured during a climb in Pakistan. He was taken in by local villagers and, when he recovered, he vowed to build girls’ schools in the country as a thank-you. Sadly, Mortenson is not the only author to pass off fiction as fact.

There’s something so animalistic about James Franco here. Maybe that’s the secret to his ridiculously prolific existence; he isn’t even human! Sigh, we could gaze into those eyes forever. (*James bites our head off.*) Post from: Crushable Hot Shot: Here, Have Some James Franco |

I have incredibly limited experience with action/adventure movies (spoiler alert: an upcoming edition of this feature will include Star Wars), so I’m not sure if Marion Ravenwood was revolutionary in her day. But watching her drink, fight, and swear alongside Indiana Jones was pretty rad. There were definitely some eye-rolling moments: her screaming for Indy while in the giant basket, for example. But her scene with Dr. Belloq – where she fakes drunk and tries to stab him – reminded me so much of the biblical story of Judith that I had to pause the movie and look it up to make sure I had the particulars right. [Brief synopsis: Judith was a woman who saved her village by going into the tent of the attacking army's leader, acting like she was going to seduce him, and then cutting his fucking head off.] It’s a shame that Allen never became a huge movie star, because the way that she elevated some of the more cheesy material handed to her – the out-of-nowhere white filmy dresses, including one with a bow on the butt? – was impressive. Her obvious “look at how she’s basically a guy!” scene at the beginning, where she outdrinks a man twice her size, manages to be endearing instead of cloying. Although Marion often does more hiding than fighting, I don’t think it’s a bad method of self-defense to let Indy go out there and preen and kick some ass while you manage not to get injured. If dudes want to feel manly by beating up on each other, let them exhaust themselves and then swoop in when their testosterone levels die down. Those red pants she was sporting in Cairo, though? That’s another story. I found myself wondering about Marion’s backstory, and since I haven’t seen any of the other Indiana Jones films, I don’t know if we learn more about her. (I do know that she appears in the franchise reboot, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but not the other movies in the series.) Indy’s a bit of an enigma himself, but he gets two more movies to suss out details about his past. Marion, on the other hand, is full of riddles, and I want to know their answers. How the hell did she wind up in Nepal? Did her dad move her out there? If so, why did she stay after he died? How did she come to be a bar owner? Was she lonely as (apparently) the only white person and single woman around? Did she have other lovers besides Indy? I know that movies like this one are about plot more than character, about shoot-em-up scenes more than social commentary, but I was dying to learn more about Marion. But she, like most female love interests, is there more to serve a man’s interests than her own. So I’ll just have to invent a backstory for her. A really kickass one, of course.

Warner Bros. has released the first few minutes of the final (sob) Harry Potter film, with a scene that brings the series back to one of its central mythologies: A wizard and his wand. Since at the end of Deathly Hallows, Part 1 Voldemort had raided Dumbledore’s tomb for the Elder Wand, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) goes to question Mr. Ollivander the wandmaker about how Voldemort knew to find the wand. While Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) look on, they discuss the unique makeup of each wand; although some, like Harry and Voldemort’s wands, may share a feather that bonds them, no two are exactly alike. As Ollivander says, “The wand chooses the wizard.”
