GOF movie, etc etc etc
So the past two months I was supposed to live in semi-seclusion studying hard for the darn CFA exam (which, went *horrible*, by the way), resisting such temptations as fandom, internet or basically anything at all entertaining- but turned out the ONLY sarcrifice I actually made was seeing GOF two weeks after the whole planet had seen it ^^;;; I've however come to the sad realization, that I'm pretty much labeled "the crazy HP woman" by human beings around me.
-Mid-November, at work-
Co-worker K: When is the Harry Potter movie released again?
Me: 18th, this Friday.
Co-worker K: Tell me if the Harry Potter movie is good next Monday then.
Me: Well you know about that test I'm taking, I haven't even gone through one third of the material once by now, so I won't go see the movie until after the test...
Co-worker K: *snerk* Yeah. Right. So remember to tell me if the movie is good next Monday.
Me:......
-Thanksgiving dinner, the moment I stepped into my aunt's place-
9-year and 11-year-old cousins of mine: (Together)&$*#(&$)#so have you$#&($)#Goblet of fire&$#(@#so good!!!And Mad-eye-Moody is so gay!!!
Me: No I haven't because... WHAT?! Who is so gay?! And do you even know what 'gay' means?
9-year-old brat: (winks) It means happy, doesn't it?
11-year-old brat: I can't believe you haven't seen it yet! Don't you usually go see it on the first night?
Me: Yeah... well you see there is this test thingy...
9-year-old brat: This movie is full of adult humor. It is the darkest among the series so far. Oh Karkaroff is very gay too.
Me: (weeps) Can you talk like a normal 9-year-old? And why is Karkaroff gay too???
-Last Saturday, in front of the theater-
Friend J: I still can't believe you'd place the test before Harry Potter.
Me: For the 100th time, you do know, since you've passed the darn test yourself, that it costed me more than 1000 bucks just to register and that it's held only once a year?
Friend J: But common sense had never stopped you from doing stupid things before, especially when it came to Harry Potter! It's like I don't even know who you are anymore...
Me: ...just shut the fuck up, okay?
I don't have much to say about the movie itself, except for that:
- I quite liked it, it made me appreciate the corresponding book more, unexpectedly.
- Thanks to all the warnings, movie!GOF!Hermione actually turned out to be less annoying than movie!POA!Hermione IMO- at least she sucks in a much more obvious way, so I am spared of the awe-striking worships her MarySueself got in the previous flick. But Emma needs badly to see a doctor about her eyebrows, they are flying everywhere.
- The 12-year-old in me had a crush on both Cedric and Viktor, I am all for Cedric smutfics now, shallow me!
- I can't find it in me to dislike movie!Ginny. Damn. The same goes for movie!twins, double damn.
- Lookit! Draco Malfoy is such a wimp! Look at his stupid face after he got turned back from a ferret to human! Woohoo! Fuck Kloves, all I can say. Oh but McGonagall got a cookie for being more stern with fake!Moody than she was in the book *g*
- Potterstinks badges survived the cut, YES.
- Um, am I the only one who doesn't find the new and improved Voldemort all that creepy/great? He made me laugh wholeheartedly, though.
- Movie!GOF!Dumbledore is totally not a Dumbledore I could reconcile with the canon one, WTF!
- No house-elves, yipeeeeeeeee!!!
- ... I didn't get the bit where Snape was molesting Ron and Harry. I know, wtf was I trying to get, but!
- I find Moody a bit too fat and not sinister enough compared to how I have pictured him. Another unpopular opinion, I guess?
- Barty Jr is alright. I suppose.
