Quote of the Day

I love how anticlimactic Daniel Radcliffe's answer is to this question, at EW.com where they caught up with him on having read The Deathly Hallows, about where he was and what he did when he finished the book:

"I was in a car at the time. I had my iPod in, and I was listening to Sigur Rós. I don't know if you know them. They're a band who do sort of instrumental music, but it's just amazing. I think they're from Scandinavia somewhere. They've got an album called Takk...I was listening to, and it's very, very appropriate [for the end of Deathly Hallows]. I was listening to it and I remember I was sort of turned away from everybody else in the car, just so I could be in my own little world when I read it. What did I do when I finished? I think I just put the book down and carried on listening to the music. Just looked out of the car window, 'cause I couldn't think of what else to do. I'm still struggling to really take it in. It doesn't leave you in a hurry."

You mean... he didn't throw himself to the ground and writhe in orgasmic ecstasy? His brains didn't crawl out his ears? He just looked out the window??? Amateur!

I absolutely LOVE how he's all "It's this band called Sigur Ros, you may not have heard of them." Because I cannot for the life of me decide if he's being ultra-pretentious music snobby (Sigur Ros being the go-to name-dropping band for pretentious music snobs) or genuinely unaware that anyone but him has heard of this band. Either way, I love him.
