Warner Brothers Ruins November

I think November is a great month. The weather is getting cooler and the air smells crisp and fresh. We watch football games, rake leaves and eat pumpkin pie. And many of us look forward to the release of the latest Harry Potter film. But Warner Brothers has decided to ruin November this year by delaying the premier of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince from November until July 2009! Fox News has tried to suggest that the delay was triggered by Daniel Radcliffe's nude appearance in a Broadway play, which Warner Brothers doesn't want tarnishing the "virginal" image of Harry Potter. But alas, the delay seems to be driven by money. The studio claims it is still trying to recover from the prolonged writers' strike and a summer release of the movie will boost its box office potential. I think this is a terrible thing to do to the fans. We have been eagerly anticipating this movie for months, especially since we have no more books to look forward to. Warner Brothers is not hurting for money and this movie will be a success at the box office, no matter when it is released. But because the studio thinks it can make a few more bucks for their already overpaid executives, we have to wait another 8 months! Thanks for ruining November for me, Warner Brothers. Lame, really really lame.
