Pic of the Day: ♫ “He always runs / While others walk / He acts / While other men just talk / He looks at this world / And wants it all / So he strikes / like Thunderball.” ♫
Fun with Franchises: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001), Part III — “That Would Have Made a Nice Christmas Card… If You Weren’t Murdered”
What better way to start Fun with Franchises than with the king of all franchises (that we haven’t done yet)? This is the highest grossing franchise of all time, and is without a doubt the main one I grew up with, so it made sense to start with it. Harry Potter is by far the one franchise that every single one of my friends and I could make jokes and references to and have everyone get those jokes and references. Plus it’s just great.
I had so much fun with the Disney films and later the Bond films, I thought, “Let’s just try this with everything else.” Essentially this is us just watching these movies that we can talk endlessly about because we grew up with them and just cracking jokes and asking all these logical questions. It’s all for fun and basically for parody. We do this because we love them.
And that’s Fun with Franchises. Right now, we’re doing the Harry Potter franchise, and today is the third part of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.
Pic of the Day: ♫ “Goldfinger / He’s the man / The man with the Midas touch / A spider’s touch / Such a cold finger / Beckons you / To enter his web of sin / But don’t go in.” ♫

Pic of the Day: “I hope your dreams come true, I hope they do.” “They won’t. They never will.” “Believe in yourself and they will.” “I got nothin’ to believe in.” “You’re a woman, believe in that.” “How can I, when nobody else will?” “Well, you got to believe it first.”
Pic of the Day: “I’ve been a nobody all my life. I was the baby; I was the one they made promises to that they never kept. And ever since I can recall it, Jesse James has been as big as a tree. I’m prepared for this, Jim. And I’m going to accomplish it. I know I won’t get but this one opportunity and you can bet your life I’m not going to spoil it.”
Pic of the Day: “What are we doing here?” “Liquor raid.” “Here?” “Mr. Ness, everybody knows where the booze is. The problem isn’t finding it, the problem is who wants to cross Capone.”
Pic of the Day: “What do you do?” “I am a writer, a doctor, a nuclear physicist and a theoretical philosopher. But above all, I am a man, a hopelessly inquisitive man, just like you.”
Pic of the Day: “He happens to be the president, Charles, not you.” “That’s a mistake that will be corrected one of these days.”
Pic of the Day: “What are these fuckin’ iguanas doing on my coffee table?” “There ain’t no iguana.” “Yeah, there are.” “There AIN’T no iguana.” “What the fuck is that? Fuckin’ iguana.”

Pic of the Day: “Mr. Patel’s is an astounding story, courage and endurance unparalleled in the history of ship-wrecks. Very few castaways can claim to have survived so long, and none in the company of an adult Bengal tiger.”
Pic of the Day: “Rule number one: never do anything yourself when someone else can do it for you.” “And rule number two?” “Rule number two: in Japan, men come first, women come second.” “I just might retire to here.”
Pic of the Day: “Er liebt mir. Er liebt mir nicht. Er liebt mir. Er liebt mir nicht. Du liebt mir nicht!” “Hey, man! I lieb you, I lieb you, baby, I lieb you! Now lieb me alone!”
Pic of the Day: “AK-47. The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherfucker in the room – accept no substitutes.”
Pic of the Day: “If you marry her now, I’ll not give you the time of day.” “Father, you don’t know the time of day!”
