Harry Potter, you rotter

One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me

I hope that this post won't spoil anyone still seeing the HP movie, and I'll do my best not to give away any of the important movie tid-bits, though I assume that everyone will have read the books by now...

I was disappointed. And that might be an understatement. WARNING- Negative commentary coming up...

I thought it was slow. I thought it bordered on boring. Each time something exciting should have happened, it just hit a tiny high then immediately dropped back to the ground. I didn't even mind getting up to go to the bathroom.

I went to the movie this morning with some work colleagues. What a great idea, team bonding over Harry Potter and lunch. Let me tell you how much I needed the happiness boost, especially since things here at work are precarious.

Anyways, I just thought they cut things in a really interesting way. They took out portions that I didn't understand, they excluded people and information that I was annoyed by. Every time they've done a movie, except maybe the first movie, I've thought they left out important information. Though it seems to be working for them, I wonder how the information they left out will continue to effect things.

Don't get me wrong, I agree that the cast was cohesive. I agree that the emotional roller coaster and the first love nonsense was interesting, but it wasn't enough to make me love the movie.

On another note, I can't make a decision. Unfortunately I really can't divulge what I can't make a decision about, but I can say that it's one of the biggest decisions I'll make. And once I make it, it won't be very easy to take back...

This weekend we'll be seeing Faith Hill at the Hollywood Bowl. I can't wait. I'll also be going down to Comic-Con next weekend. If you'll be around, give me a cellphone call.
