I just got a pirated copy tonight... Die Hard 4...

No hurry to watch it now :shocked:

 

As far as I am aware there are only camcorder copies floating around on that net, so you might be disappointed with the quality.

 

I thought it was a pretty good flick, of course it was completely unbelievable but the cheesy in-your-face action scenes were pretty cool. It was all done with real props with pretty much no CGI work which is pretty amazing in this day and age.

Found it!!

 

SPOILER DONT READ ANY FURTHER if you dont want to know the ending

 

Every since J.K. Rowlings revealed the title of the seventh and final installment in the Harry Potter series, speculation over how the series will end has been flying thick and fast. However, I predict that, like many other twists in the series, you won't see the end coming.

 

7. Voldemort finally reveals the truth to Harry, "Dumbledore told you I killed your father. He lied! I, Voldemort, am your father!" Hermione later turns out to be Harry's long lost twin sister.

 

6. Harry retrieves the final five Hoarcruxes, only to enter into an amicable agreement with Voldemort whereby they postpone their showdown for seven more books.

 

5. Dumbledore returns, cloaked in robes of white, at which point the estate of J.R.R. Tolkien intervenes and the rest of the book is withheld by a court ordered injunction.

 

4. After learning the truth of the prophecy as told to Harry by Dumbledore, Neville Longbottom decides to take matters into his own hands. He neatly finishes off Voldemort in one book, then seriously fucks up Harry for stealing the seven book franchise that should have been his to begin with.

 

3. After waiting a decade for conclusion of the saga of the Boy Who Lived, millions of fans around world wait in line the night before the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows only to receive a notice that the final book will not be made available to the public until J.K. Rowlings is made the new reigning monarch of England. The British parliament has a good laugh ... until the fighting breaks out.

 

2. Harry Potter does indeed die, and, as in all British literature, the butler did it. That's right. Doby finally shows his true colors.

 

1. In a satellite-broadcast world event, J.K. Rowlings appears before her millions of fans on the night before the announced release of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", holds her hand-written manuscript aloft, and in one supreme demonstration of the disdain she holds for all of her readers, casts the manuscript into a great cauldron of fire, declaring, "Now, you'll NEVER know how it ends, you little bastards!"

Fans to queue for final Potter book

Thousands of diehard Harry Potter fans will brave the winter chill to be among the first Australians to get their hands on the final book in JK Rowling's ultra successful series.

 

Bookshops around the country expect many fans to camp outside their stores on Friday night, ahead of the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at 9.01am in Australia's eastern states, 8.31am central standard time, and 7.01am in Western Australia.

It will be all hands on deck for the country's booksellers, who are bracing for the attack of Pottermania.

 

Dymocks Perth supervisor Jodi Trump expects children and adults to stake out the store overnight to secure one of the first copies.

 

"Provided the weather holds, we expect people to camp out," Ms Trump said.

 

Even hardened politicians aren't immune to Harry's magic.

 

In Brisbane, Queensland Premier Peter Beattie will lead the countdown to the book's release.

 

Dymocks retail and marketing general manager Joanne Wood said Mr Beattie would lead the countdown and open the first box containing copies of the highly-anticipated book.

 

"We are very excited ... we've got the premier coming to do the countdown for us. He's very passionate about kids' literacy and so are we," Ms Wood said.

 

The manager of Angus and Robertson in Brisbane's CBD, Bruce Brown, said he expected some eager readers to bring their sleeping bags and camp overnight, as the person at the front of the queue would have the honour of opening the first box.

 

Melbourne's Borders bookstores are also preparing for fans who brave the elements and wait for the stores' 7am opening.

 

Treasure hunts for the "ringing snitch" - a ball chased by witches and wizards in the game of quidditch - magic spell competitions, wizards' duels and costume contests are some of the activities organised around the city for the big day.

 

Melbourne's City Square in Swanston Street is being turned over to the boy wizard with Lord Mayor John So and Arts Minister Lynne Kosky to open the first batch of books complete with an official countdown.

 

Actress Sigrid Thornton is hosting another Harry Potter launch at Federation Square complete with aerial performance troupe Strange Fruit, which will conduct a wizards' duel on broomsticks six metres above ground.

 

In Sydney 1,500 young wizards and witches and their parents will get up before the crack of dawn to board the Gleebooks' Hogwarts Express train at 5.15am (AEST).

 

Veiled in secrecy, the two-hour journey will be a magical adventure for which fans are expected to dress up in appropriate attire.

 

They will be served cauldron cakes and sugar quills by their favourite Harry Potter characters.

 

"This is like people gathering together to farewell someone they really love. It's quite powerful. People are very sad that it's going to finish," Gleebooks spokeswoman Minerva Mackell said.

 

Dymocks bookstore in George Street, Sydney, is expected to be bombarded when it opens on Saturday, having received over 5,000 pre-orders for the final chapter of the boy wizard's magical adventures.
