Now all I can think of is Patrick Warburton doing this voice over in the films.
Perfect.
I would pay like $10 to hear Patrick Warburton say "Sacré Bleu" which isn't a ton of money but how much would you pay anyone else to say anything else?
There is a whole website based on that premise.
Was A Series of Unfornate Events my first exposure to postmodern writing?
SoUE is better than HP. I said what I said and I'll die on this hill.
I mean, the prose is certainly better. Rowling is unimaginative and repetitive in her use of language. The number of times she reuses phrases (like, "Ron's untidy scrawl,") is criminal. She's a lot like Agatha Christie; great concepts, mundane execution.
I much prefer when Ron ejaculated (loudly).
Really not a high bar, tbh. Just don't promote slavery along with maintaining the exact status quo that lead to wizard hitler, and you're miles ahead.
HP has the better film franchise though. ASOUE just had the Carrey film, which was alright but did not follow the books and left a LOT of mystery from the books off
the show was really good....until season 3. my favorite character being reduced to a single laugh and a painting was the nail in the coffin, and the finale was just bad
I'd like that, learned something.
Learnt nothing, in french you would say "Sacre Bleu", lit. "Blue [the act of consecrating]".
Blue was the colour of Saint Martin, so instead of swearing on god, you would swear on the canonisation of st. Martin, in a manner removed from the actual thing. Only English speakers use "sacré bleu" as a vaguely-french sounding thing.
Saying sacré [person] makes sense somewhat, but you would use it like "there's my boy, way to go!", not as a "holy shit" exclamation.
Having never read it, it reminds me vaguely of Douglas Adams
I would love this.
I'd read that!
