but this one rocked. I love the previous two as well though, so I'm guessing it is mostly the director I like.
Anyway, thoughts:
-loved Hermione's opener. Cried!
-loved the way they told the story of the three brothers. That was wicked. Very pretty.
-didn't like the end bit with Dobby, but I'm not sure what they would have had to do to make me like it. It just seemed clunky to me, like they were making too much of him being a hero, rather than just letting him be a hero. And then seeing the knife fly for a minute also doesn't leave much surprise to what happens. And then they buried him in SAND. Alone. In the book, I loved that the others silently came out to help. It was a bonding moment beyond just the younger generation.
I'll think of more, but I gotta go be an adult for a while. Bank time!

I figure it's fair. I mean, the universe has to make up for you being you sometimes, right?

Sorry, I can't hear you over everyone in the theater talking before the film.

Yeah, but unfortunately it just comes off as being really out of nowhere.

I am sooooo over HP. I'll probably wait a week for the fan-storm to blow over, or wait 'till dvd.

I'm thinking you'd be really, really, really confused. It might be a bit like surrealist art.

But the 7th book relies so heavily on the 6th, it would be pretty impossible.

You ought to read or watch them just for their cultural relevance.

It's about as influential as Star Wars, which I guess depends on how influential you think SW is.

That seems a bit early to say - wait till twenty years have passed, then check again. *NM*

Fair enough, but I think we're already seeing its influence on children's literature. *NM*

I'm glad it's 2 films, but the total run time could be 4 hours instead of 5 hours *NM*

i guess even with severe editing one film would have ran for 4 hours

the dance was one of the best scenes in the film, imo. *NM*

it wasn't characterisation, it was horribly awkward and clumsily crowbarred in

*shrug* I liked the scene. It was something lighthearted in the middle of a lot of bleakness
