I saw Black Rebel Motorcycle Club the other night (9/13) for the third time.  It was an absolutely incredible show.  If you get a chance to catch these guys, do it.  You'll be blown away.



Nothing coming this week, but the week after that, I've got tickets to see Arcade Fire with LCD Soundsystem (9/26) and then Smashing Pumpkins (9/28).  The only other tickets I've got are for the Vegoose festival in Las Vegas at the end of October (Muse & Rage Against the Machine), but I'll probably be seeing either Interpol or the Shout Out Louds on 10/15.  Haven't quite got that one pinned down yet.

This issue should be raised in one of the Hasbro Q&As.

I plan on calling it "Crystal Skull" (is that what we're calling it now, "Crystal Skull"?) sort of like I call "Raiders", "Raiders" "Temple", "The one in India" and "Last Crusade", "Last Crusade"

That's funny--I usually refer to Last Crusade as "garbage." 

Get the **** out.

What's wrong with Last Crusade?

Hell yeah.

See?

*******.

Tell Georgie how right you were about everything, darling, because he'd be the only one buying what you were selling.

Wrong series.

There are a couple things I don't get though, that maybe someone can help me out with.

Snape puts a phony sword of Gryffindor in Bellatrix's vault, and gets the real one to Harry.  Ron then uses the real one to destroy the locket, but then Harry barders it to Griphook to get into Bellatrix's vault at Gringott's.

Harry gets the Hufflepuff cup, but Griphook makes off with the sword.

Then, at the end, when the Sorting Hat comes to Neville, Neville pulls the sword out and uses it to cut off Nagini's head.

I don't get it....

Did Griphook accidentally make off with the phony sword in the midst of all the chaos?  Does the real sword go to whomever needs it, through the Sorting Hat?  Anyone got this figured out?

And while I'm asking questions about stuff I don't get, how did Harry determine that one of the Horcrux's would be in Bellatrix's vault?  That seemed a little...random, given the placement of the other Horcruxes.

Bellatrix was pretty shaken up that they had even been to the vault by the sign of the sword showing up...they put two and two together

Okay, but then what's the significance of hiding one of the Horcruxes at Gringott's?  I thought they were all hidden in magically significant places.  Although, I guess it could be said that the deepest vaults of the Goblin bank were magically significant.

As far as the sword, same way Harry got it in Chamber of Secrets.  Neville needed it and got it from the hat...

Okay, but then why bother having Griphook make off with the sword?  I bet that once the Sorting Hat warped it back from Griphook, Griphook got uber-pissed.  I think this officially qualifies as a loose end, in my book.


And oh yeah...Wormtail dies.
