(no subject)
This Spring Break is gonna be REALLY boring. I can already tell. I'm gonna be sitting at my computer all week! It's starting.
I've really been missing Suryn and Seattle. Which is weird cause it was August when I went there and so much has happened since then, but I really miss her all the same. I miss the scenery, her house, her, the mountains, the beach, I even miss my ears popping every 2 seconds . . . okay, so I don't miss that, but I still do!!
I'm kinda pissed, b/c last night was Taste of Chaos and i couldn't go b/c I didn't get tickets. I am mad at myself for that . . .
MOODS:

BITCHY, AGGRAVATED, BORED, DISAPPOINTED, AND SARCASTIC
You'd see why if you read the rant right down there. *points*
I just watched HP - POA today, b/c there was nothing else to do of course. While watching it, I realized that the acting is not that great (over-acting) and there's a lot of missing info and a lot of new info. Not just from the book, but a lot of stuff doesn't line up. Like they never explain how Lupin knew how to work the map, and Harry never quesitons it. And also, how they changed EVERYTHING. Like, nothing is in the same place. Hagrid's hut is in the middle of nowhere, there are these new places that suddenly have so much importance (the clock thing, that courtyard, the bridge . . . and was Lupin's office the set of Dumbledore's office from the 1st 2 movies? I thought so.) And also how they're introducing all these new kids who aren't in the books. Like the one kid who explains what the Grim is (and then talks about how Black is as hard to catch as "catching smoke with hands . . . bare hands") and the other kid that takes Goyle's place. Where's Goyle? He's there at the beginning, but then never shown again. Maybe he got taken away by the Giant Squid. We'll never know. And also the shrunken heads? WEIRD. In my opinion, they should have tied everything together and kept out those characters who have no importance if they were worried about time or something . . . Another thing that bugs me: how Hermione could call the werewolf. Is JKR gonna make her a WEREWOLF in a later book? I don't like how the movies are placing importance on the books, instead of the other way around! Like, the whole Ron/Hermione thing. Sure, that's cool. Have that happen, but don't precede the book in telling us what's gonna happen with them by placing hints. That's just annoying. And don't think I didn't know about all this stuff from before, but right now, I am in a really mad mood and I needed to rant about it, since it's important to me.
Whenever a fault of the movie presented itself, I thought, if Peter Jackson were directing this movie, he would NEVER have let that happen. Or that would be explained to the audience better if PJ were directing this movie! Oh my . . . LOTR had gone to my head a little TOO much.
I think this movie was better off for teenagers (myself), and at first I REALLY loved it, but now I'm kind of skeptical about it. Cauron is a good film-maker, but right now I'm doubing that. And Steven Kloves writing the screenplay. Didn't he write the first two movie's screenplays? Yes. And they are MUCH closer to the books than this one. It must be Cuaron. I'm not a fan of the 1st 2 movies, b/c they are really "kiddish", but right now, I'm apt to prefer them to POA. I am sure that if I were not a die-hard fan of the books, that I would just adore this movie, but seeing that I was and still am an HP afficionado, it cannot be any other way, than to love the books much more than the movies and be offended when the movies fall astray of the books main points and not so main points. Sometimes I envy Harry Potter's ignorant fans who have never read the books and refuse to, thinking that the movies are all there is.
NOTE: I KNOW JKR IS HAPPY WITH THE MOVIES, SO I SHOULD BE, TOO, BUT I CAN HAVE MY OWN OPINIONS, TOO, SO IF YOU ARE EXTREMELY OFFENDED BY THIS, I'M NOT REALLY SORRY, B/C THIS IS MY JOURNAL AND I HAVE MY OPINIONS AND YOU DO, TOO.
