my two cents about PoA (spoiler free i think)

w00t! i saw it today. it was by far the best of the three, thanks to mr alfonso curan i imagine. very dark and spooky and mysterious- unlike the first two which were light and cheerful and.. two dimentional. even the acting was somewhat less bad. i still hate how the charactors are portrayed- hermione took all of ron's lines that gave him any

agreed on most points. i didn't like that they were all wearing muggle clothing because they all make such a big deal about it in the fourth book. i didn't like the way hermione was portrayed--WAY too sporty. what was that punch for? it was fun, but seriously. NOT hermione--RON. they need to make him a little tougher. he's the one that's always swearing and ranting, for crying out loud. i didn't like the actor that played lupin, nor really how they portrayed him. he was nicer in the book, less teacher like. but i didn't mind the werewolf...it didn't look very realistic, but in old egyptian drawings they portrayed werewolfs to stand on their hind legs like that and crap. i was upset that they didn't even mention the moony prongs padfoot and wormtail thing--that they made the map and all, b/c then you didn't know why harry conjured the stag. and when harry conjured the patronus, it was just a white light--only once did they show it was a stag. plus they put the firebolt at the end of the movie instead of the beginning, although that

well, i can tell you right now it won't be the same direct for goblet of fire- that's gonna be a guy named mike newell (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001565/). honestly i don't know anything about him except that he directed four weddings and a funeral and mona lisa smile (nark?). so i'm not sure.. we'll see how that works out.

in their defense.. i'm sure it's very difficult to make an adapation of such a popular book with the hp and non-hp fans in mind. sometimes any sub plots that digress from the main story (and consequently slow down the developement of the movie) are just best taken out.

but yeah.. i def agree with out on the other points. mostly with the whole ron thing. poor ron.

so yeah.. when the hell are you done with school, yo?

yeah...man, i wish they wouldn't keep getting new directors! the movie style is going to keep on changing. that sucks.

lol...this week is three exam days, then i'm done! so wednesday is half day and i'm finished. i wish forever.
