   First Time To See Potter Movie   
   22 Feb 11 19:55:58

   First I'll start off by saying that I fell asleep three times during   
   this movie, and I use the word "movie" loosely here as this isn't a   
   movie so much as an endurance test. It's like movie makers are going   
   out of their way to make your bladders explode these days. I don't   
   even remember the name of it.   
      
   The reason these types of movies are so long is because all you book   
   reading Nazis who go to see these movies always come out saying "the   
   book was better" like you would be able to tell a screenplay from   
   your asshole in the first place. It's not meant to be a book, it's   
   meant to be a movie. Why are all these people going to see the movie   
   if they've read the book anyway? You think anyone cares about all the   
   discrepancies you find? You're not a master detective, and reading a   
   book does not make you an authority. Just sit down, shut the hell up   
   and endure the movie. It's almost like they do it for the smug   
   satisfaction of being able to tell all their annoyed friends in the   
   car "I knew about this a long time ago," as if it was some big secret   
   they discovered. It's the same type of person who if they recommend   
   music to you and heaven forbid you like it, they always have to   
   remind you by chiming in with "yeah, I found it." Great going   
   Magellan, now see if you can find a ride home.   
      
   I don't know what they're going to do with following Harry Potter   
   movies. It's obvious even in this one that the child actors are   
   growing up quickly. I could practically see shaving stubble on Daniel   
   Radcliffe's (Harry Potter's) face, and Rupert Grint's (Ron Weasley's)   
   voice was cracking, but it was hard to tell with all that whining he   
   was doing: "oh no a dead cat, time to bitch."   
      
   I'm told that there are cool parts in this movie, but I'm skeptical   
   because I fell asleep through them. One thing I was awake for though   
   was the ending. I believe the wizard boss at the end of the movie   
   literally says "you have broken all the rules, you disobeyed my   
   strict orders, you blah blah blah.." and then he follows it with   
   "therefore, I'm going to congratulate you on a job well done." Did I   
   miss something here? He essentially said "you're an incompetent   
   fool," and then he immediately followed it by a statement rewarding   
   them for their incompetence.   
      
   It's like the audience at this point in the movie is supposed to be   
   saying "OH SHIT, THEY'RE REALLY IN TROUBLE NOW" then the wizard   
   catches them off guard by saying "you kids did a good job" and the   
   audience says "WOAH SHIT! WHAT A GOOD ENDING, LET'S GO HOME AND   
   MASTURBATE."   
      
   This is another place where maybe they don't need to stick to the book   
   so closely. Who knows, maybe the book had the same self-loving   
   gratuitously sappy ending (and I'll be damned if I'm going to find   
   out for myself), but they didn't have to make the movie the same way.   
   What kind of message is that sending to kids anyway? Break all the   
   rules, disobey your parents, go wandering off like some spoiled   
   little shit who has it too good and then you'll get rewarded? I mean,   
   how cool would it have been if instead of the "therefore you are   
   rewarded" horse shit they made the wizard boss flip out and turn all   
   the children into sausage? Sausage rules!   
      
   590,166 people who saw the new Harry Potter movie fell into a deep   
   coma.
