totally forgot about this thread.

i finished Phoenix some time ago and i must say that i liked it a lot, but i preferred Goblet a lot more. one the main issues i have with Phoenix is that Sirius Black dies such a pathetic death... kinda whimpy...

Well, the way she left it we're not certain that he is dead (either that or Rowling is losing her touch).

Oh, he's definitely dead. The point that Rowling was trying to get across is that the dead are not far from us, as long as we remember them. It's a frequently occurring theme in the HP books (anyone remember the Mirror of Erised, which told us that while it's good to remember those who have passed on, we can't sit around obsessing over them?), with wizard picture taking techniques and such.

I just realized something ... Gary Oldman bites it in pretty much every major role he's been associated with. Even when he's not the bad guy.

Lots of spoilers below ... you are warned.

- Sid Vicious in Sid & Nancy - Drug overdose
- Drexyl in True Romance - Bullet to the crotch
- Beethoven in Immortal Beloved - I don't remember if they said how, but the public funeral was the one memorable scene in this movie.
- Zorg in The Fifth Element - Blown up in a giant flying cruise ship orbiting some far-flung planet. Damn French directors ...
- Dracula - after being undead for 500 years, finally snuffs it at the hand of Wynona Ryder.
- Lee Harvey Oswald, shot by Jack Ruby.
- Stansfield in Leon/The Professional - I don't even remember the details.
- Mason Verger in Hannibal - Fed to carnivorous swine that he engineered to eat Hannibal Lecter alive.
- Ivan Korshunov in Air Force One - Thrown out (punched out) of a plane by Harrison Ford in midair

And now, when we get to Order of the Phoenix, he'll cross that great void from which no soul returns.

At least we expect Commissioner Gordon to survive for the long haul.

STANSFIELD WAS BLOWN UP IN LEON (THE PROFESSIONAL).


IT'S OFFICIAL (HAS BEEN FOR SOME TIME) THAT LUC BESSON IS GOING TO MAKE THE SEQUEL TO LEON. NATALIE PORTMAN HAS SIGNED ON TO REPRISE HER ROLE WHICH WAS THE ONLY WAY BESSON WAS GOING TO DO THE SEQUEL.
