กำหนดวันฉายในประเทศอังกฤษไว้แล้วที่ 13 July 2007 สำหรับภาคที่ 5 ของหนัง Harry Potter

โดย Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix นั้นกำกับโดย David Yates ชาวอังกฤษ ผู้กำกับที่โลดแล่นอยู่ในวงการทีวีเสียเป็นส่วนใหญ่

David Yates นี้ถือว่าเป็นผู้กำกับคนที่ 4 แล้ว สำหรับ Harry Potter หลังจาก Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cauron และ Mike Newell และถือว่าเป็นผู้กำกับชาวอังกฤษคนที่สอง ต่อจาก Newell

 

จะว่าไปหนังแล้ว หนัง Hary Potter ก็ดูเหมือนจะถูกใช้เป็นทางผ่านสำหรับผู้กำกับหลายๆคน ใครก็ได้ที่อยากได้ชื่อหรือประสบการณ์ก็จะยอมมาทำ พอได้เข้ามาทำแล้วก็จากไป เพราะมองว่าทำต่อไปก็มีแต่เสียหรือไม่ก็เท่าตัว ในขณะที่ผู้กำกับใหญ่ๆ ที่ JK Rowling วางตัวเอาไว้ตอนต้น อย่าง Spielberg หรือหลายๆคน ก็กลับปฏิเสธอย่างไร้เยื่อใย

ช่างเป็นหนังภาคต่อที่อาภัพยิ่งนัก...

ก็นะ เจ๊ JK ชอบทำตัวเหมือนเป็นโปรดิวเซอร์เองนี่หว่า ชอบไปยุ่งกับบทเค้าตลอดเวลา ผู้กำกับดังๆที่ไหนเค้าอยากจะมาศิโรราบให้คุณเธอ..แหม!

 

อ๊ะ..รูป..เรียกน้ำย่อย 

 

รวม Cast นะฮ้า..ภาคนี้คงจะได้เห็น เคที่ เหลียง หรือ โชแชง กันเต็มๆ

 

ดูเหมือนว่าโตแล้ว เฮอร์ไมนี่จะไปได้รุ่งที่สุดทางด้านหน้าตา

 

อ๊ายยย สีชมพูซะแร้ว หนูเฮอร์..รสนิยมไม่เปลี่ยนเลยจริงๆ

 

คุณนาย Umbridge นี่เอ๊ง...รับบทโดย Imelda Staunton ดาราอังกฤษผู้ได้รับเสนอชื่อชิงออสการ์จาก Vera Drake ของ Mike Lee

 

Umbridge ก็สีชมพู เหอๆๆ

 

โดยภาค 5 ของ Harry Potter นี้ถือว่าเป็นความท้าทายครั้งยิ่งใหญ่ของผู้กำกับ เนื่องจากความหนาของหนังสือ เนื้อหาที่เข้มข้น และมีลักษณะเป็นหนังเชื่อมระหว่างภาคก่อนและภาคหลัง ซึ่งเป็นอารมณ์เดียวกับ The Two Towers ของไตรภาค Lord of the Rings แต่รุนแรงน้อยกว่า..

 

ว่าแล้วก็อยากอ่านหนังสือภาค 7 เร็วๆ จังเนอะ ตายๆ ไปซะที เจ้าแฮรี่เนี่ย (อ้าว!)

"At least I don't have to worry about her running off with the bloke next door." (แบบว่า Cherlie Blair เมียพี่แก โดนกล่าวหาว่าเป็นอริถึงขั้นกับสบถด่า Gordon Brown รมต.คลังที่อยู่บ้านพักติดกัน)

"The truth is you can't go on forever. That's why it is right that this is my last conference as leader. Of course it is hard to let go. But it is also right to let go - for the country and for you, the party.

"Over the coming months, I will take through the changes I have worked on so hard these past years.

"And I will help build a unified party with a strong platform for the only legacy that has ever mattered to me - a fourth term election victory that allows us to keep changing Britain for the better.

"And I want to heal. There has been a lot of talk of lies and truths these past few weeks.

"In no relationship at the top of any walk of life is it always easy, least of all in politics, which matters so much and which is conducted in such a piercing spotlight." (ฮิ้ว..)

"I know New Labour would never have happened and three election victories would never have been secured without Gordon Brown.

"He is a remarkable man - a remarkable servant to this country - and that is the truth. (จริงเหรอคะ) 

"So now, 10 years on, this party faces the real test of leadership - not about what we've achieved in the past but what we can achieve for Britain's future." (ฮ่าๆๆ ถ้าแกไม่ชนะเลือกตั้งคราวหน้า ชั้นจะหัวเราะใส่)

"The next election won't be about image unless we let it be. It'll be about who has the strength, judgment, weight and ideas for Britain's future in an uncertain world.

"And if we show belief in ourselves, the British people will feel that belief and be given confidence. I don't want to be the Labour leader who won three successive elections.

"I want to be the first Labour leader to win three successive elections. So it's up to you.

"You take my advice. You don't take it. Your choice. (แล้วจะรู้สึก)

"Whatever you do, I'm always with you. Head and heart. (หูย ...ซึ้งค่ะ พี่ขา ไม่ไหวแล้ว)

"You've given me all I have ever achieved, and all that we've achieved, together, for the country.

"Next year I won't be making this speech.

"But in the years to come, wherever I am, whatever I do, I'm with you. Wishing you well. Wanting you to win.

"You're the future now. Make the most of it." (T_T โอ๊ย โหยยย) 

"If we retreat now, hand Iraq over to al-Qaeda and sectarian death squads and Afghanistan back to al-Qaeda and the Taliban, we won't be safer; we will be committing a craven act of surrender that will put our future security in the deepest peril.

"Of course it's tough. Not a day goes by or an hour in the day when I don't reflect on our troops with admiration and thanks - the finest, the best, the bravest any nation could hope for.

"They are not fighting in vain. But for this nation's future. But this is not a conventional war. It can't be won by force alone.

"It's not a clash of civilisations. It's about civilisation, about the ideas that shape it." (ลองเอาสปีชของพี่แก ไปเทียบกับตาบุชดูดิ พูดเรื่องเดียวกัน ในเรื่องที่ยากที่สุดเหมือนกัน แต่ เหอๆๆ คนละเรื่องเลย)

"From 9/11 until now I have said again and again if we want our values to be the ones that govern global change, we have to show that they are fair, just and delivered with an even hand.

"From now until I leave office I will dedicate myself, with the same commitment I have given to Northern Ireland, to advancing peace between Israel and Palestine. I may not succeed. But I will try because peace in the Middle East is a defeat for terrorism.

"We must never again let Lebanon become the background for a conflict that neither Israeli or Lebanese people wanted though it was they who paid the price for it." (โน คอมเม้นต์)

"This is a struggle that will last a generation and more. But this I believe passionately: we will not win until we shake ourselves free of the wretched capitulation to the propaganda of the enemy, that somehow we are the ones responsible.

"This terrorism isn't our fault. We didn't cause it. It's not the consequence of foreign policy. It's an attack on our way of life. (อันนี้แก้ตัวไม่ค่อยขึ้นเท่าไหร่ เหอะ)

"This is not our war against Islam. This is a war fought by extremists who pervert the true faith of Islam. And all of us, Western and Arab, Christian or Muslim, who put the value of tolerance, respect and peaceful co-existence above those of sectarian hatred, should join together to defeat them."

"There's no rule that says the Tories have got to come back. David Cameron's Tories? My advice: get after them.

"His foreign policy. Pander to anti-Americanism by stepping back from America. Pander to the eurosceptics through isolation in Europe. Sacrificing British influence for party expediency is not a policy worthy of a Prime Minister. 

"Built to last? They haven't even laid the foundation stone. If we can't take this lot apart in the next few years we shouldn't be in the business of politics at all." (โว้ว...ทำเอาพวกหลายใจแปรพรรคทันที)

"It's hard sometimes to be America's strongest ally. Yes, Europe can be a political headache for a proud sovereign nation like Britain.

"But believe me there are no half-hearted allies of America today and no semi-detached partners in Europe. And the truth is that nothing we strive for, from the world trade talks to global warming, to terrorism and Palestine can be solved without America, or without Europe.

"At the moment I know people only see the price of these alliances. Give them up and the cost in terms of power, weight and influence for Britain would be infinitely greater. Distance this country and you may find it's a long way back." (ดูเหมือนพี่แกอยู่ในสถานการณ์ที่กลืนไม่เข้า คายไม่ออก เหมือนจำใจยอมตามตูดยังไงชอบกล ตามไปแล้วก็เลยเลยตามเลย เหอๆๆ)

"We need therefore the most radical overhaul of energy policy since the War.

"We will increase the amount of energy from renewable sources fivefold; ensure every major business in the country has a responsibility for greenhouse gas reduction; treble investment in green technology, including clean coal; and make sure every new home is at least 40% more energy efficient.

"We will meet our Kyoto targets by double the amount and we will take the necessary measures, step by step by step, to meet one of the most ambitious targets on the environment set anywhere in the world - a 60% reduction in emissions by 2050." (จ้ะๆๆๆๆ)

"I don't want to live in a police state or a Big Brother society or put any of our essential freedoms in jeopardy. But because our idea of liberty is not keeping pace with change in reality, those freedoms are in jeopardy.

"We can only protect liberty by making it relevant to the modern world.

"That is why identity cards using biometric technology are not a breach of our basic rights, they are an essential part of responding to the reality of modern migration and protecting us against identity fraud." (อืม ตรงนี้ใช้ได้)

"In the next parliamentary session, the centrepiece will be John Reid's immigration and law and order reforms. I ask people of all parties to support them. Let liberty stand up for the law-abiding."

"In the future, as people live longer, we can't afford good pensions and help for disabled people who can't work, with four million people on benefit many of whom could work. Almost a million less than there were. But too many.

"That is why we need more radical welfare reform, getting more disabled people, more lone parents, more on unemployment benefit into work, not to destroy the welfare state but to preserve it."

"Thank you to you, our party, our members, our supporters, the people who week in, week out do the work, take the flak and don't often get the credit.

"Thank you the Labour Party for giving me the extraordinary privilege of leading you these past 12 years.

"I know I look a lot older. That's what being leader of the Labour Party does to you. Actually, looking around some of you look a lot older. That's what having me as leader of the Labour Party does to you. (ขำก๊าก ฮาจัดสุดๆ...)

"Something I don't say often enough - thank you to my family.

"But above all else, I want to thank the British people - not just for the honour of being Prime Minister but for the journey of progress we have travelled together."

เอาล่ะ ไปซะที โทนี้ บ๊าย บาย ออกไปเร็วๆ จะยื้ออยู่อีกทำไม เอ้อ.. หลังจากนี้ก็คงจะได้เป็น Lord Tony Blair เข้าไปนั่งใน House of Lord ตามรอยเท้ามากาเร็ต แทชเชอร์ ตามฟอร์มแน่ๆ อ้อ อย่าลืมเขียนหนังสือขายด้วยนะ รวยแน่ๆ แล้วจะซื้อนะจ๊ะ จุ๊บ..

ป.ล. Nicky Blair ยังหล่อเหมือนเดิม!

No offence to LSE people - but I've added London School of Evils as my current institution...have a look at the profile page :)

Oh well, I still feel King's you know? It's like being a Thai living in the UK, you're still Thai because you were born and raised there...even though one day you'll be diluted and start acting like Harry Potter or speak like the Queen..

 

Just been to LSE - to register and vow myself as an LSE person - no, dude! I'm not yet an evil (not enough to join London School of Evils)!

 

The library sucks. I'll work at King's library instead.

even though the architectural design looks moderately cool & modern (that's the only thing I like about it!), it's too noisy and dirty and very small..

There're some private study rooms but most tables are in open space and people do shout and talk without realising it's a library..

No! This is not my library! I can't spend my nights here! I can't eat McDonald's in here!

 

 

The registration process is really quick though - far quicker than King's (but hey, that was 3 years ago - Pentium Duo Core didn't exist!). However they don't tell you much about what to do - I have to figure out things by myself. I have to ask somebody how to register for my email account and have to activate this myself (you don't have to do this at King's - they'll do it for you)..

LSE card sucks too! Even though it's not as bad as UCL's paper card :P it doesn't contain NUS (National Union of Students - or something) logo which basically means that this card is USELESS U - S - E - L - E - S - S outside the LSE territory (which is, of course, no larger than Chulalongkorn University's gymnasium). It won't give you discounts in cinemas, tourist attractions, etc. You've gotta make another card - A PAPER CARD with a HANDWRITTEN card holder's name! Jesus!

 

LSE is no larger than its entrance. 

 

PS. Will I get to see Monica Lewinsky? But - why do I want to see her anyway?
