Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Coding and Sleeping

I'm rereading (well relistening, I stuck in an Audiobook into my CD Player in the car when I couldn't find anything on the radio and started just listening to all the books over again on my commute) the books and find that some of the characters my imagination has stolen from the movies, but others are somewhat or completely different.

I will list them because I am tired of working on GUI problems.

Same - I imagine the character quite similar to the movie character.
Sort of - My imagination has been influenced, but still different.
Nope - My imagination character is not like the movie character.

HarrySame

RonSame

HermioneSort of

Fred/GeorgeSame

PercyNope

GinnyNope

Mr. WeasleySort of

Mrs. WeasleySame

DumbledoreNope

McGonagallSame

SnapeSame

NevilleSort of

HagridSame

DracoSame

Mr. MalfoySame

FlitwickNope

MoodyNope

BlackSame

LupinSort of

Okay, that's imcomplete, but damn, there are a lot of characters and I do need to fix some GUI stuff.

Hey. New board.

My movie order (from best to worst): PoA, GoF, CoS, SS
My book order: GoF, PoA, SS, CoS

Though, I just reread CoS for the first time (I've read the others at least 3 times each, but I disliked CoS enough to skip it both re-reads), and find I like it a LOT more after reading HBP.

I quite dislike Sorceror's Stone, the movie, except for the way they made Hermione look, which was good - she was still too pretty, but at least the hair was of proper frizziness. It's just... the book suffers from over-explication sometimes, and the movie really felt that. CoS was much improved in that respect, though still pretty by-the-book. PoA and GoF were both, in my opinion, quite brilliant, and PoA may stand as one of my favoritest movies.

In fact, 2004 may go down as my favorite movie year ever, what with Mean Girls, Saved!, Prisoner of Azkaban, The Incredibles, Kill Bill Vol. 2 and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I definitely own more DVDs from that year than any other (read: all of the above except Kill Bill, cuz I'm still waiting for the super-exclusive-ultimate-everything-including- quentin-tarantino-hair-sample DVDs.)
