|    First Time To See Potter Movie    |
|    22 Feb 11 19:55:58    |
      From: karenSPUD@cupcaked.com              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.       --        __ /7__/7__/7__        \::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::...       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~               http://www.cupcaked.com/reviews       (...and leave off the "potatoes" to e-mail)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
