| Harry Potter was just...terrible
1. Heavy Handed Imagery (birdcage EVERYTIME Malfoy was around (white and black bird imagery...sigh), use of random M.C. Escher-esque stairs with people going in opposite directions, running through a wheat field)
2. Lack of a cohesive story (The entire title of the movie "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" is almost ignored. A person walking into the movie that hasn't watched/read the previous movies/books would absolutely not be able to follow the movie at all)
3. Lack of any good dialogue (I challenge you to try and remember any of the lines. Or the general gist of any of the scenes, Maybe I have a really short term memory but honestly I barely remember any of the movie's dialogue.)
4. Lack of any dialogue at all (mostly replaced by panning shots of highly doctored landscapes and violin music)
5. Lack of any sort of dynamics. (The movie felt flat, when the "climax" arrives there is little...rise i guess.)
6. Terrible choice of colors? (I dunno what its called but you can make a movie dark without literally making the whole movie shades of brown and gray)
6a. Making the actors look pale doesn't automatically make the movie dark
7. Acting...was...just...bad. Come on harry... (Very few genuine moments in the movie, i felt little to no chemistry between the 3 main characters)
8. None of the characters felt developed at all.
9. Force feeding the emotional content (Hermione...please don't cry its embarrassing)
10. Having Everyone call the movie "Dark" (See 6.)
11. Attempted sappy ending. (Ok...so everyone in the school unites and points their wands upwards and the skull thing disappears...really guys....really)
12. Honestly didn't feel sad when Dumbledore dies. (The book totally made it sad...movie not so much)
13. Horribly disjointed (scene cuts (i think thats what they are called (i just triple parenthesized)) made sure there was no logical flow of action. It felt as if the director had chosen events to use in the movie at random. a lot of stuff you end up guessing, if and only if you have read the book obsessively, you know who you are )
14. Still not a fan of the portray of Dumbledore...or Snape for that matter. (Not to be a book snob, but the Dumbledore in the book is not so emotional. The Book Dumbledore always knows whats up; with his flaws as being the whole trusting people and being TOO perfect)
15. They skipped the coolest part of the book (the fight at the end)
In the end the movie just takes itself WAY to seriously. Now, the novels (even the dark ones towards the end) have always had the sad and happy parts but they coexist (kinda like the whole life thing). But really the reason we've read these books is 'cause they were fun, not because they were filled with heavy Dickens like imagery or they were in Shakespearean verse. In the end people will still see the movies not matter what. What gets me even more is the film critics who...whom?...who insist that this movie (and the last) are great because (paraphrasing)"as the characters grow and age the plot does as well" basically spewing all that coming of age crap. Ok...so the movies should age, true that, no doubt. But the aging goes from a 10 year old kid to a 17 year old kid not a 53 year old movie critic (to whom these movies seem to impress the most). Even if the next movies are absolutely terrible, people will still see it. Heck, after seeing the 5th movie i had promised myself to not see the next one but i did anyway and shame on me. These are my opinions. Take them as you will fanboys/girls. All of whom obviously read my xanga blog cause i'm kind of a big deal.
-but yes Emma Watson was very cute | | |

| so i was just thinking to my self about...well stuff, i dont remember what. then all of a sudden i realized that I like tin foil. For some reason i thought of how cool unwrinkled tin foil is. You pull it off the roll, and if you're lucky you get a non-crinkled piece, and then you just wrap a sandwich in it. and if you're REALLY good you can make a perfect silver box in which reside your lunch. don't forget your milk money!
seriously, imagine life without some of your basic school lunch box supplies. No thermos, no plastic ziplock bags (or if you're rich tupperware containers), NO JUICE BOXES! JUICE BOXES! the horror. | | |
