About time I posted something
Yeah, it's me. Been awhile since I posted on LJ, but since the majority of my friends list is of the Harry Potter fandom, I felt it was almost my duty to show up and comment.
Without being spoilery: HOLY CRAP DAVID YATES IS A FREAKIN GENIUS! He continues to impress me. Somebody tell me he's doing the finale. (Or two.) Tell me it's so!
Not only are his takes on the final stories a true-to-the-book representation that finally treats the series as parts of a whole (like they should be), this has to be the most drop-dead-hilarious movie I've seen in, well...a long time.
Yeah, I mean, Ice Age was fun, Up was cute and had me in stitches, but Half-Blood Prince simply had me ROTFL. Like the books, the movie captured the whole "how teenagers act in high school" without being emo or depressing. It's that odd, nostalgic, "was I that bad at that age?" feeling that I loved about the books in the first place.
Okay, rant/rave/whateveryoucallit over.
