Brain Spins
Things are a bit out of control at the moment. And hurtling towards me like boulders down a mountain side.
My job is to dodge.
***********
I am STARVING.
I am eating cold rice, in the hopes that S will be out of his meeting ASAP so we can have lunch, but I may pass out before that. Thus, the rice.
***********
I saw Harry Potter. I was not a huge fan of the first half of this book; nor am I a huge fan of this movie. But, that said, and without boring people (which is what the book/movie did to me!), let me highlight the good parts.
Holy moly, Emma Watson. I am officially impressed with your acting.
I got teary when Hedwig died, really teary when "Georgie" lost an ear (Oh, Fred!), and also when Dobby died.
I am officially terrified of Bellatrix and I did NOT remember that she tortured Hermione in the book. Hearing the screams was upsetting to me in a way that caught me off guard, and then seeing Bellatrix basically on top of Hermione was very unsettling.
The opening scene with Voldemort also shocked me with how dark it was. Not a kids movie, folks. Especially given the whole sexual tension triangle between Ron/Hermione/Harry. Ron all but said that he thought they were having sex - and just look at his worst fears - and then, from what I could see, Harry basically offered to sleep with Hermione, to make her feel better.
And I got it. It wasn't about TRUELOVE right then. It was about friendship and being afraid of dying alone and knowing that someone really did love you, truly, and that about broke my heart.
Also, the acting chops in that scene alone impressed the hell out of me for Emma and Daniel both. Damn, they've grown up on me!
Ron, as a character, was underutilized, imo. This may be a shortcoming of the book, too, I can't remember.
I enjoyed it. I will see it again. I liked it better than 6. But... 7.2 will have to do a lot to convince me that it was worth splitting this book into two movies with any sort of goal other than money grubbing. S'all I'm saying.
************
Does anyone want to come and do a lot of work for me? I'm overwhelmed and a bit stressed by it all. But, I have companies calling and wanting to settle. Which reminds me, I need to collect my phone. It should be charged by now.
Cheers, Internets.
