Imagine Albus Severus coming out to Harry:
Albus: Dad, I’m…gay.
Harry: Albus Severus Potter. You were named after two Headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was gay and he was the wisest man I’ve ever known.
Albus: Dad, you say this every time I tell you something. Stop. Just stop.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Albus: Dad, would you mind buying some conditioner? I think we’re out.
Harry: Albus Severus Potter. You were named for two Headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them never used conditioner and he was probably the greasiest man I ever knew.
Albus: Dad, this response is really getting old.
Harry: TWO HEADMASTERS.
Albus: Yes, I get it, two hea—
Harry: BRAVEST AND WISEST MEN.
Albus: Da—
Harry: THAT I EVER KNEW, BRAVEST AND WISEST, TWO OF THEM.

12 Angry Men (Sydney Lumet, 1957)

Best in Superlatives in Movies of 2011
Now that Oscar nominations were announced, I’ll be mostly following their category system. I have seen over 60 movies from 2011, you can see what I think about them all here. You can already see my picks for the best movies of 2011 with this tag, so there are my picks for other categories. I’m ignoring the arbitrary five-slots that AMPAS allots for most categories.

Un(der)known Writers: Martin Luther King Jr.

“I’m sure that you have read that arresting little story from the pen of Washington Irving entitled Rip Van Winkle. The thing that we usually remember about this story is that Rip Van Winkle slept 20 years.

Best Movies of 2011: A Separation
There are still several movies I have yet to see that may make this list, so these posts may continue for the next month or so. Nonetheless, here is part of a series of posts that will highlight 2011 releases that I gave an A+ grade to. It should be noted that release dates are complicated as movies often premiere in film festivals months or years before they hit...
