HA! and HP
Firstly, excuse me, I must rant a bit, as I have been wanting to in her face but can't for the sake of professionalism or whatever it is that makes me a sweet thing.
You guys remember when I ranted about how this woman at work demanded I do shit for her and asked really personal questions about who cooked in the house (namely, that it should be me)? Well, yesterday, she fucked up. Badly. Like, the printer's dead. Like, she put a sticker label sheet in the tray where it specifically says not to put anything else but registration papers, black on white. This printer, okay, it is very very finicky about what sort of paper goes in what tray. And then the stickiest goddamn labels I have ever seen got fucking jammed in the fucking smallest space I have ever seen and OF COURSE she asked me at fucking 4:20pm yesterday, ten minutes before I leave, to deal with it because she doesn't know how. Cue Alex fighting with the rolls to extract the goddamn thing and IT WAS NOT EASY.
The machine is still dead today. It doesn't bother me one whit. In fact I am gloating inside.
If I were her I would be freaking mortified but NO she takes it all in stride.
I have not been blaming her loudly or anything but I really want to. That woman bothers me so much. Like, I found out the other day her kids aren't even over the age of maybe 5 and she apparently can't watch English television to learn it because "they want to watch French tv". I wouldn't understand it even if they were teens (my parents are fierce about ownership) but I understand it even LESS now I know they're still in freaking diapers. I dunno, maybe let them watch French tv because yes I understand you want your kids to be fluent and it's important here, and then when they're asleep you change channels? IT'S NOT SO HARD. I also remember playing with toys and stuff and the tv in the background was sprouting nonsense to my ears. YOUR KIDS WILL NOT BE HARMED.
Ugh. That woman.
Secondly. . Can't tell you it's better than the last - indeed even the Burrow burning and the cave scenes felt a little stale compared to like the Department of Mysteries scenes with the Death Eaters and the Order and the Dumbledore/Harry/Voldemort scene. Though it was pretty amazing overall.
The theatre wasn't jam-packed. I actually arrived a half-hour or so to grab a bite from Tim Horton's. Now, that was quite stupid, because it was freaking HOT and I got a soup, grilled sandwich and hot chocolate. Hello, refreshing. And for the first time ever my hot choc was disgusting. Although I blame that on the fact that the Timmie's was a tiny little kiosk at a dépanneur. Usually Timmie's hot choc is deeeelicious. But whatev. So I paid for my ticket around ten minutes before showtime and yeah, not jam-packed, and it was mostly adults and just a few teens. Yay. No one talked loudly, no one spoke on their phone, niet. Ahhhhh... quiet. There was one embarrassing moment where I squawk-laughed by myself though I can't remember when. It was possibly an "inside" moment for fans. Otherwise, it was very very enjoyable and I liked it very much. Tom Felton was amazing through and through, Emma was a pretty shitty crier as always, Rupert... need I say anything? Dan is always growing in my esteem, ngl. Harry/Ginny felt a bit forced, though I do feel the burning Burrow scene brought them closer. The shoelace moment was freaking forced though, seriously. Umm... oh my, Tom Riddle, both of them, wow. Slughorn bothered me at first, but then I kind of remembered he WAS that way in the book too so meh. OMG, haha, McLaggen. I'm sorry, I don't know about any other theatre, but our room was LMAO'ing every single time he was on screen. For someone with so few lines... :D The burning Burrow scene was amazing imo, we were all so tense. Same with Snape revealing he was the HBP. And of course the cave scene and Snape AK'ing Dumbles. There was one scene that made everyone jump a mile... I can't remember, but it was like... we all knew it was coming, you know? And then it happens? WHAT WAS IT. Oh, probably when the Inferi grabs Harry in the cave. WHAMMO. What else... I think that's it. Excellent, just not quite as OMG as OotP was (for me, at least).
Icon is fitting for this movie, in any case. I WISH THAT LINE HAD MADE IT IN. RON FTW. And why no "Weasley is our King", huh? We were robbed of that last movie. Ugh, Steve Kloves.
I had cannoli after the movie. Actually, my Timmie's sandwich and the cannoli, because I'd thought to smuggle the sandwich into the theatre to eat it mid-movie but then I promptly forgot, and anyway the room was pretty cool so nah I'm not sick. So, ate it on the way to meet my parents at La Serenata for dessert. Very nummy cannoli.
