Deathly Hallows Part 2, Part 2

So I went and saw DH2 again today. I watched DH1 this afternoon and basically got right in the car, drove to the theater, and used my free pass :) There were fewer people there than when I went with Shelby Saturday morning, but I think overall this audience was younger and more vocal. And I don't mind a vocal theater audience as long as they're vocal appropriately. This group applauded when anything good happened, especially I know a spoiler warning about a movie based on a book that's been out for years is stupid, but... ).

I think this was also a group of mainly non-book readers, because See above ) I'm kind of jealous of that group, well, for the same reason I'm kind of jealous of the people who watched Game of Thrones before reading it and didn't know exactly what was coming by the end of the season.

In general... More ramblings )

So, to follow up from my previous post, I did finally get to see Deathly Hallows Part 2 yesterday morning. I actually intend to see it again, tomorrow or Tuesday, and ideally I'd like to watch Part 1 right before. I think where they decided to cut it works well for the story... Read more... ) I'll hopefully have more cogent thoughts to share after the second viewing :)

Bad luck

So Shelby and I were supposed to go see Deathly Hallows Pt 2 at midnight... but my teeth were in screaming pain because I had them whitened this morning (I was expecting sensitivity, but nothing this bad); the doctor prescribed me some vicodin but it makes me loopy. And then Shelby somehow got a bad case of eyestrain. Ain't we a pair? So I have to eat the tickets I had prepaid for, which sucks, and we're going to plan on Saturday a.m. instead.

In other words -- talk to me about HP and... *points to icon* :D

- First, the big news: I got my rehire letter! Pending the state of California falling into the Pacific Ocean, have a job next year! This also means I can make some extra money by going to a 5-day training in early August, which will be great :)

- I had a bad dream last night... I won't go into details. But the weird thing is that the first part I remembered when I woke up is that in this dream people had flying cars. I'm thinking too much Harry Potter.

- Along those same lines, I've watched the first four Harry Potter movies over the past week or so, to prepare my brain for DH pt 2 on the morning of the 15th. I was originally going to reread all the books, but some are packed away with my school things. Besides, I've come to the decision that the movies are more enjoyable if I remember fewer particulars about the books. So I'm living in movieverse for the next few days and that's that.

I really do enjoy these movies, but... )

Also, seeing as how I just watched GoF... Hee.

I'm positive that most of you have already seen this, because I haven't been online in a few days, but I thought it was really cool.

You can find more of this graphical awesomeness over at [livejournal.com profile] quietsanctuary.

Apparently there are scanned pages floating around out there. I think I will have to murder someone if they spoil me.

Just sayin'.

SciFi.com has a cute little video of Daniel, Rupert and Emma, as well as some of OotP PTBs, talking about the movie at the premiere.

Here's the link.

The kids are just so damn adorable!

Also, Emma kind of hints (imo) at some H/R cuteness, which makes me happy :) 'Ongoing tension' and 'looks' and heheh.

This reminds me... isn't there a scene in HBP where Slughorn calls Ron 'Rupert'? I'm probably the last person on the Internet to realize this...

Got tix for HP:GoF for 730 tomorrow night!

Yay me!

(There was already a guy at the theater camping out, I assume to be first for the midnight showing. Heh.)

So I was going to break down and buy tix for HP:GoF for Saturday for my cousin and me, since I only work til 630 that night and she'd be able to sleep over after the movie. And I went to Fandango and then went Googling for some coupon codes to bring the price down. But there's no active codes! And I'll be damned if I'm going to spend $2.50 service charge on top of the insanely-high-already movie ticket prices. So they can bite me. On the butt.

I dreamed about Harry Potter last night, which is strange because I haven't been reading the books or watching the movies or doing anything else vaguely HarryPotterish lately. More than anything I'm absorbed with my 500-a-day Atlantis story, looking forward to Friday's episodes (especially Atlantis, because I'm an angst whore) and generally bouncy about seeing an Alias season 5 commercial a few days ago (also because I'm an angst whore and because, for ill or good, I heart Vaughn). I've also been reading Jacqueline Carey's Banewreaker, which is nowhere near as good as the Kushiel books - too much labor on getting across the theme of the book, I think, and so the plot itself suffers - but it's the first (non-HP) fantasy book I didn't put down as soon as I came across the first dragon. I have an anti-dragon bias.

Anyway. This dream was loosely GoF-related, and sometimes it seemed that I was watching the movie, and sometimes it seemed that I was taking part in the story itself. FauxMoody was there, and Draco (who actually turned nice at the end) but most of the focus seemed to be on Ron thinking that Harry and Hermione were going out, and being really sulky about it, until Harry told them that they weren't and convinced him to that this relationship quiz he found in a magazine. Krum was there too, only he didn't have an accent and seemed rather pleasant, and I remember seeing something that made me think "Oh Lord, the slashers are going to love that".

Oh, and speaking of Jacqueline and Kushiel... she's posted a synopsis of Kushiel's Scion, which - suckage - isn't going to be out til June 2006. Grr.

Viva...

One thing I wanted to do before I leave for Vegas... mostly because I'm almost done rereading Half-Blood Prince. Because it's related, I will put it behind a cut, although I expect that makes about as much sense as using spoiler space for SG-1's Divide and Conquer two weeks after the fact.

I have also decided that More spoilers )
