Regarding Aimee's whitefont:
Aww, I'm a little sad about no Percy conflict. I thought him going against the family was such a realistic touch.
I'll get over it, though. SQUEE!
What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ailleann, He was there, in the scene where the DA gets caught and also at the hearing. They just didn't get into the conflict which was kinda dissappointing. Also? No Bill Weasley, which makes me think that they're going to do away with that story line for Half-Blood Prince. No Phlegm. Poo.
But, Fred and George's exit from Hogwart's was AWE-SOME.

Regarding the same whitefont:
I hope that doesn't come back to bite the filmmakers when the last book comes out. That's a shoe that may yet drop (since if memory serves, it never got resolved in any manner in Half Blood Prince, did it?) I already think they are going to have problems making Snape's killing of Dumbledore in HBP be as resonant as it was in the book, and who knows what she'll do with Snape or Percy in Deathly Hallows.

Frank, No, it wasn't resolved much in HBP. But then, they might do a bit of backpedalling and sneak it in there somehow. As long as they do the stuff with Scrimogeur, it should be ok.

But, [whitefont]
is more excited
More blank space:
That's one thing that's sadmaking about the movies... there's a lot that needs to be left out (understandably), but 1) it's a lot of the side stories, which are very good, and 2) because everything is interconnected, it might seem like a bit of an asspull if they need to randomly bring it up again without covering it in an earlier movie. But as long as Snape ends up being a good guy, I'll be happy.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I've only seen the first hour so far. Gah! It's so great! I agree with the reviewer (I think it was Moriarty on AICN) who said they didn't cast Luna Lovegood, they held a copy of the book upside down and shook it until she fell out.

I just read a review this morning that said that Luna Lovegood was "a Dakota Fanning coshed on the head a few times."

Art Crawl!!!
I'm going to to go on Friday!
And the Weasely Twins are going to be there!!
Why they're going to be at a movie theatre in suburban Chicago is a completely different matter.

If our circuit is any indication you'll have no trouble getting a matinee seat today. (this is me encouraging all buffistas to play hooky and go see a movie)

Unless my friend returns my phone call and arranges a time to go see it this weekend with her, I'm going to see it solo at 9:00 am on Saturday morning. I should be able to avoid the worst of the kiddie crowd and enjoy the film sans screaming babies.
