Bike Lane Repainters: "We're Self-Hating Jewish Hipsters"
Wednesday night we spotted some children dashing out of a Brooklyn Heights brownstone wearing witch hats and waving wands and, for a moment, thought they were going to hit us up for candy. But they were just en route to catch the penultimate installment in the Harry Potter franchise, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. We hope the children have fun, because after all it is a movie, ya know, for kids, and it seems churlish to criticize it too harshly. But, sadly, that's what some grownups get paid to do.
Take old man Rex Reed at the Observer, who deems it "the sixth and worst installment yet... Am I the only person over 12 who truly believes the Harry Potter franchise has outlived its shelf life? Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince... is two and a half hours of paralyzing tedium, featuring another colossal waste of British talent and a plot a real witch couldn’t find with a crystal ball. The kids at Hogwarts no longer have any relevance. They have never heard of iPods, cell phones or the Internet. Yet they keep on coming, like deer ticks. Don’t ask me what this thing is about."

smack!
Zooey Deschanel is freaking HOT. 500 Days of summer sounds like a good movie.
I liked her until she started talking about her boogers and saying New York is dirtier than L.A.
^It was good. This post is missing the fact that Zooey Deschanel is in 500 days of summer and that she is a friend of gothamist!!!
