Thoughts on Endings

[ceitfianna]

I don't have a lot of words about Norway or Amy Winehouse as any death is a loss and so many deaths at once is hard to comprehend. The thing I find scariest is how quickly the world turns these deaths to their own use instead of mourning and allowing time between death and anger. That's one of the dangers of how fast our connected world moves, a

I too started reading the HP books very late. I ended up tagging along with my cousin to see the first movie because I had nothing else to do and I ended up liking it enough to start reading the books. By book three, I was totally hooked. The farther along into the series I got, the more into I became, like each book got better and better.

I also always try to view movies and books as two different things, because books offer so much internal thoughts and emotions that movies can't convey and movies have a totally different story-telling aspect to them. But sometimes a few of my favorite character-moments were left out and I would be disappointed. It's inevitable.

I thought the final film was very well done. Breaking the last book into two parts was a great idea, because they didn't have to shred it so much. I too liked that everyone seemed to get their moment in this movie - from all the kids to the Weasleys to the teachers - we got to see how they were all involved in this final battle.

Borders - The BFF went to U of M and apparently did all her best reading/writing in that store. She's quite put out about it closing up.

First off, I love your icon. I was really happy with how the movies handled the last book since it was a complex one.

The Borders' closing is so sad, a lot of people at SI have connections to it so there were lots of thoughts. Now the going out of business sale has started and its even sadder. Though someone posted a sweet little sign near the door saying You are Beautiful that I took a picture of.

I'm still wandering in there but its sad how quickly things can change. Going from a quiet bookstore to going out of business and people asking the price of fixtures. Due to where I live, I walk by the store most days so its not easy.
