Eh?

  • Mood: Rant
  • Reading: The Book of Dreams
  • Eating: So, Freakin'. Full.
A rant, but nothing given away that's not already in the previews.

ARH! Alright, a note to all screenwriters/adapters. When turning a book into a movie, there are things you can't get rid of because you'll NEED THEM IN THE NEXT MOVIE! Such as houses and yards and creatures and relationships!!! Ugh!
Saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince today. Opening day, very nice. The movie was fine with what they were able to cover (except the needless added scene that only furthered a relationship that didn't have to have a new scene at all if they had just followed the flippin' book!), but they left SO MUCH OUT! People! There are things you're going to need in book 7 that can't be explained if you don't have the start of the situation in the previous movie!!! Ugh, what were they thinking? There's so much stuff they left out and then what was in there was only briefly touched on except for the main arc of the movie. Character relationships were very poor (except Ron and Lavender. I was torn the entire movie between cracking up and wanting to shoot her), as were new-character developments. There was no explination at all as to who Greyback was and what little they did with Narcissa was very disappointing. Considering Bellatrix and Narcissa are my top two favorite characters in the books, that was highly disappointing. And I didn't feel that Bellatrix was as insane as in the Order of the Phoenix. She was much more tempered, almost like it was an unnatural trait to be off the wall and exploding everything she can aim her wand at. It was disappointing.
But what. The heck. No character explinations AT ALL! Whoever was adapting the script from book to movie was on crack. I totally wouldn't have minded another hour added to the movie if they would just explain things and put in the character relationships that make things so dynamic between them all and set up everything for the seventh book. Excuse me, people, Half Blood Prince is not an action book, it's a bridge. FILM IT LIKE IT'S WRITTEN! Not as an action book, but a bridge for the finale.
They also hopscotched on storyline development, too. Opening the movie with an attack on both the muggle and the wizarding world and then never explaining it further. Excuse me, ignoramis, but muggles aren't THAT stupid that they'll ignore a collapsing bridge.


That movie aside, though (and there's still a lot more to rant on, but nothing I can touch on if people haven't seen it), there are two things I am greatly looking forward to in the 7th movie. Two things that, if butchered, will kill my herat for all eternity. Number one: The opening scene with the Death Eaters gathered and arguing. This scene is what completely spiked my love for Narcissa and Bellatrix. And two: The battle. The best battle of all time (although the worst for who gets it in the end. Urgh!! Mucho disappointment for loss of love character wise). And Mrs. Wesley and Bellatrix. If they cut that in any way, shape, or form, I'm going to hurt somebody. That fight sparks the best line in the entire series from Mrs. Wesley.

Special Thanks to all my lovelies for the birthday dinner. I never want to see food ever again.

Not sure about how much I'll be in tomorrow dear...I'll be in for a bit much earlier than usual, and then for a bit after my doctor's appointment, and then sporadically during the day...

This is what I find to be:

Sick of the city, wanting the sea.
I start working a camp Monday, so tonight through Wednesday I won't be able to stay on as long, but no worries. Do as you will and have fun^^.

Romans 8:28 (New King James Version) 28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. I love Jesus Christ. He died for you and me. He loves you so that means I love you too.
You're welcome.
