Here’s a treat for all of you out there who squealed in your seats when Ron and Hermione engaged in their passionate first kiss in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 .

In this ‘Deathly Hallows, Part 2’ Blu-ray exclusive, Radcliffe says literary beginnings set ‘Potter’ apart from other film franchises. By Eric Ditzian Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” Photo: Warner Bros. He’s the Boy Who Lived. And lived. And lived. The “Harry Potter” film franchise has come to a close — taking with it $1.3 billion and counting at the international box office for the final part of “Deathly Hallows” — but the bespectacled wizard and his friends and foes are neither gone nor forgotten. There are still Blu-rays to nab, fresh footage to consume and things to learn about the series. In an exclusive clip from the upcoming Blu-ray release of “Deathly Hallows, Part 2,” which Warner Bros. just announced will be hitting shelves November 11, Daniel Radcliffe pointed out how J.K. Rowling’s book series has given rise to an entire new generation of young people with a love of literature — something other big franchises cannot claim. “I always think that that’s one of the wonderful things about ‘Potter’ and the ‘Potter’ fanbase,” Radcliffe says. “If you think about the other big costume-wearing [franchises] that go with it, things like ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Star Trek,’ with ‘Potter,’ because it started off as a literary thing, has created a generation of the same kind of mentality … with an appetite for reading and literature, which is kind of amazing.” Radcliffe’s comments are included in a special Blu-ray featurette presenting a never-before-seen conversation between the actor and Rowling herself. That’s one extra on the new release, in addition to behind-the-scenes footage and a preview of Pottermore, Rowling’s online “Harry Potter” experience . Start your pre-ordering now! Because 10 years into the franchise’s run, fans still can’t get enough of all things “Potter.” Neither can Radcliffe, not even when the franchise intrudes into his post-“Potter” career , as it did at the end of a performance of his Broadway musical, “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.” “Somebody shouted, ‘You’re a wizard, Harry!’ [during the end of a ‘How to Succeed’ performance], and I just went, in a way, ‘I’m kind of annoyed at you right now, but on the other hand, you’ve done quite well to restrain yourself for two and a half hours and not shout that in the middle of the show,’ so I kind of have to be grateful,” Radcliffe told us this past spring.

It may seem like an esoteric concept, but the side bush is actually a very simple thing. It’s when a woman has a thatch so fantastically thick, you can even see it in profile. Pam Grier is one so follically blessed- just check out her fabulously furry lap ‘fro in The Arena (1973). Now Melanie Griffith joins the pantheon of pubes thanks to this new, nude still from the Blu-Ray of Something Wild (1986). The scene is dim, but if you look at the close-up, you can see her side bush in all its barely-tamed fuzztastic glory. The Blu-Ray ninja strikes again!

Mr. Skin’s Blu-Ray Ninja takes his job very seriously. He’s always hanging from the ceiling with his nunchucks made from remotes and cable wire, throwing ninja stars at a huge blown-up poster of Sharon Stone ‘s snatch. Lately the Ninja has been on something of a camel-toe streak, but this week he finally broke it with the help of Katrin Cartlidge in Mike Leigh’s Naked (1993). Despite the titillating title, this epic bummer-fest starts with the protagonist raping a woman in a dirty Manchester alley and only gets bleaker from there. But like the sun emerging from between the clouds, the Blu-ray of Naked revealed some fine, furry caged monkey between Katrin’s legs in a previously non-nude shot. It’s a dark scene, but in the closeup, you can even see some of the lil’ guys hanging from her underwear- kind of like a ninja, suspended from the rafters.

In case you haven’t noticed, it is unofficially Al Pacino celebration month here at Movieline. Last week, we attended a gaudy, Scarface -themed Blu-ray release party where Pacino and the cast discussed the making-of their 1983 cult classic; Monday, we watched the actor go a little crazy in his upcoming documentary Wilde Salome ; and now, we present you more Pacino via never-before-seen Scarface outtakes.
We’re so far beyond the point where complaining about George Lucas making changes to Star Wars is actually an expression of surprise or outrage. It’s just a ritual. We expect him to change things around every time the films hit a new format, so much so that I think there would be more genuine surprise expressed if the saga hit Blu-ray and didn’t feature any new alterations. Not to worry however, as… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : /Film Discovery Date : 24/08/2011 18:55 Number of articles : 2
‘I think they’ve helped us tremendously,’ actor tells MTV News of hip-hop community’s support of 1983 movie. By Rob Markman Al Pacino Photo: MTV News LOS ANGELES — Hard to believe, but when Brian De Palma’s “Scarface” was released in 1983, it wasn’t the beloved cult classic it is now. Critics panned the underworld drama in which actor Al Pacino played Tony Montana, a Cuban refugee who went from dishwasher to cocaine drug lord. Today, the film lives in infamy with its ultra-violent-yet-indelible scenes and quotable one-liners like “Say hello to my little friend.” Most of the appreciation and film’s support has come from rappers, a fact not lost on Pacino. “The hip-hop people and the rappers got together and they made a video and they talked about the movie. I don’t think anybody’s ever talked about it as articulately and clearly. I understood it better having heard them talk about it,” Pacino told MTV News on the red carpet for a party celebrating the Blu-ray release for “Scarface” on Tuesday night. “I mean, they really get it and they understand it, and that’s a great thing. They’ve been very supportive all these years. I think they’ve helped us tremendously.” The documentary Pacino referred to is 2003’s “Scarface: Origins of a Hip-Hop Classic.” In it, rappers like Diddy, Nas and Snoop Dogg analyze the movie’s impact. The 71-year-old actor likens rap’s affinity for his film with his appreciation for the 1932 original version of “Scarface.” “When I saw it for the first time — and I don’t mean mine, I mean Paul Muni’s from [the] 1930s — I had that feeling about it too,” he said. “Anything when the hero is just reaching for something.” Ultimately, Pacino believes the appeal of his character lies in his desire to make something out of nothing — a mantra rappers have been preaching since the 1980s. “Man’s reach should exceed his grasp, or what’s a heaven for? That’s a great expression, and I think that’s Tony Montana,” Pacino poetically explained. “Reaching for something he can’t get but he keeps going. There is an element of hope in it, believe it or not.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Scarface.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
