I am really upset here, guys. I usually try not to bitch about other people....but a friend of mine just cut me to the quick.
She thinks I'm too "intense" about my Harry Potter fannishness, especially my devotion to Snape. This is from the friend who convinced me to read the books! And after I read the books, she wanted nothing to do with me in that fandom. Which is fine, because I ended up meeting alot of you guys, and I wouldn't trade that for the world.
The thing is....I've pretty much decided I have no interest in seeing DHpt2. I mean, not in the theater. Not on DVD. Never. The only time I might consider it is if Alan Rickman wins the Oscar for the role. And even then....I'm not so sure. Of course that might change with time. But not right now.
And I haven't seen any of the movies but the first. I've got hte first six and I will get to them, but I'm in no rush for some reason. Apparently to some this makes me not a "true fan". And because I don't want to watch Snape's gruesome death...I'm lesser.
I'm just sorta venting here, but my feelings were really hurt when words like "lame" and "coward" get slung around. And that I'm not open minded at all. I've always thought when it came to movies/books I was open minded. I'll read/watch anything once...except, you know, the Human Centipede, which would probably make my mind break because of the OCD issues...
Another thing is that I know sometimes things have a way of traumatizing me. The last character death that upset me was Romano from ER in 2003. I didn't even watch the episode, still haven't and don't plan to, but I was crying at work the next day. And then there's a certain photograph I saw that I've had nightmares about for TEN YEARS, some as recent as THIS WEEK. You go around for three years thinking someone you never met from a place you've never seen is haunting you because of the image you saw (taken seconds before his death) and you try to tell me you aren't going to attempt to avoid that kind of mental trauma again!
/rant Thank you for listening. I know I can't be the only one who is/will be/would be traumatized by seeing Severus' death on screen, right? And anyone else ever seen something that stuck with you? How did you deal with it?
