Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince



Let me start out by saying AMAZEBALLS!
Seriously, I was completely in LOVE, LOVE, LOVE with that movie. I did love it (despite the annoying tard sitting next to me).
Here are some good and bad things about the movie:
THE GOOD:
1. Let me say that Draco Malfoy was played perfectly in this movie. I can honestly say that he was one of my favorite characters because of what a little bastard he was (especially in the first movie). With this movie though, you see a completely different side to him. Where he was once this unredeemable character who was made only to be a little asshole to Harry, and attempt to thwart him from within Hogwarts, he suddenly bloomed into a wonderful character. (The fact that Tom Felton is MEOW doesn't hurt either.)
2. It was just the right length. Any longer and I would have lost all feeling in my ass for life, my legs would have stopped working and I would have been put in jail for murder. I believe they put enough of the book into the movie so that it stayed true to the story.
3. Snape. Snape. Snape. Snape. Snape. Snape.

THE BAD:
1. Again, I do not know why the directors like to make scenes up and put them in the movie. For example, what in the fuck was that when the Burrow got lit on fire. That totally never happened. In its place they could have had introduced the New Minister of Magic, or, I don't know THE CLIMACTIC FIGHT SCENE AT THE END! Instead of doing a scene where Harry attempts to woo some dumb Muggle-bitch waitress, how about we see more of the importance to the end of the book?
2. Okay, I will not lie and say that I didn't like Lavender. I think she was one of the funniest people in the movie. She cracked me up. Well, in the book, the only reason Ron even looked at Lavender and then kissed her was that he had a confrontation with Ginny over her kissing Dean. Ginny told him he was just jealous because everyone else had already kissed people (Ginny--apparently all of Hogwarts, Hermione--Krum and Harry--that dumb asian bitch). He was so angry that Hermione kissed Krum, that he went and kissed Lavender. THAT IS THE ONLY REASON. In the movie, it just seemed as though he did it for shits and giggles out of the blue.
3. When Ginny brought Harry up to the Room of Requirement to hide the book (again, that DIDN'T HAPPEN IN THE FUCKING BOOOOOOOOOOOK!), did they have sex or something? What in the holy hell was that up there? She was like, "You can hide me up here, too." And then peaced out (or hid) in a total badass way (though she is not a badass. She should get fined for her dramatic exit!). Was that code for, "Stick it in me"? And then when Ron was like, "Did you do it?" and Harry was all, "Huh? What?" Okay, that confused me just a touch.
4. Ginny officially landed herself in the DUMB BITCH category last night during one make-believe scene in which the Burrow got lit on fire. (Who was smoking the joint when they came up with THAT, I don't know.) Well, as Harry runs off, Ginny runs off after him. Note: If you are young, "pretty," and in love with a boy who has constant hits out on his life, never chase after him. You'll get killed. It was very lucky that J.K. gave you such a huge role in the next book (not to mention the rest of your life), or I fear you would have been killed. And I would have laughed. Hard.
5. The end was kind of...meh. I didn't cry when Dumbledore died (perhaps because I already knew how it would have ended anyways). It was very anticlimactic. I think there should have been a battle. That's just me, though. I was very unaffected by his death. Maybe that further proves my heart is slowly turning into stone. I was more moved when Draco was crying because he couldn't fix that damn cabinet, than when Dumbledore was killed by Snape.
6. Dudley. Where the hell was Dudley? Dudley in is my HP Fave Five! (Snape, Draco, Dudley, Neville and Lupin!) Where the fuck was he? I had serious evil, fat-kid withdrawl last night! Look above. LOOK AT THAT FACE AND TELL ME YOU DO NOT SEE PROOF IN GOD IN THOSE EYES! I mean, it's a shame when the main character plays second fiddle to someone else in the story, but I truly believe if Harry is upstaged by anyone, it is Dudley. Dudley is the Muggle version of Draco Malfoy. Come back to me, Dudley, so we may live happily ever after! DUDLEY! DUDLEY! DUDLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!
7. Why do they make Snape talk like Nicholas Cage? I like that they make him funny, but no where in the book does it indicate he speaks in a slow and dull tone. UGH! And the end when it is revealed that Snape is the Half Blood Prince? WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT??? It sounded as though they were chatting over COFFEE! That little bit of knowledge was supposed to rock Harry's world (not to mention the readers!!! THINK ABOUT US, PLEASE!!). Instead he was just kind of like, "I'm the Half Blood Prince" and Harry was all, "K. Whatev. Can you, like..., get the hell out of my way?" "No." "K. I'll just lie here for a bit." "That sounds great."

K, that's it.
Oh, no, wait. I lied.
IF THE SEVENTH MOVIE BATTLE IS WATERED DOWN LIKE THIS ONE WAS, I'M GOING TO KILL SOMEONE. YOU SPLIT THIS SHIT IN TWO. THAT INDICATES TO ME THAT YOU ARE GOING TO STAY TRUE TO THE BOOK. THAT'S ALL I ASK. STOP MAKING SHIT UP. YOU SUCK AT IT.

Things that are NOT okay

Your NOT OKAY of the day:

1. Going to a movie you don't like with the sole purpose of ruining it for everyone around you. NOT OKAY. (Because you get your ass kicked by three furious girls after the movie.)

2. Miley Cyrus. (If that smoker-voiced, buck-toothed, gummy little girl comes on my screen one more time doing anything other than DYING, I am going to scream. I honestly believe she was put here to punish me. I said something wrong and God tssked and pointed his finger at the most ANNOYING annoynomous person on the planet and made her believe she could sing. And act. And talk in public.)

3. Pushing random buttons on the tv remote. (You don't know what you pressed? Well, that's just WONDERFUL! Unfourtunately, I let my telekenetick powers in my other PURSE, so I don't know what to do either! Yes, please, start screaming at me like it's my fault, twat waffle. Just for this, you're going in a HOME, Dad!)

These things are NOT okay.

Things that are NOT okay

7/14/2009:

1. Twilight umbrellas
2. Twilight dolls
3. The Jonas Brothers on Good Housekeeping, watching me while I pee.

THESE THINGS ARE NOT OKAY!!

Just gonna warn you...

I am about to fangirl out just a bit.
Because today is the Harry Potter premier! I'll repeat! It's the HARRY POTTER PREMIER!!
Let me tell you why I am so excited. Last year, around July I believe, I got off of an awful shift at work. It started at 5:00 in the morning and didn't end until 6:45 at night. I had the same station to waitress, the same people to wait on and, surprisingly, the same EXACT problems each and EVERY time. I was exhausted and grumpy. Well, right after work my plans got cancelled (which had been keeping me going all day thinking about them), my parents had gotten everyone else take out but me, and then made me pay for it myself because, "You have a car! USE IT!"
I had just gotten home and noticed that my order was slightly wrong and thought to myself, "Shit. This can't get any worse!"
WRONG.
I logged onto my computer and went on my trusty websites and what was the first thing I saw? What was the first thing that met my tired, wary, sad eyes?
HARRY POTTER MOVIE DELAYED UNTIL JULY 2009.
The one movie I had been waiting for that was supposed to come out in November, was suddenly pushed back a whole year! I would have to wait an additional year to see this movie. And why? BECAUSE OF THAT WHORE TWILIGHT. THAT SKANK-ASS MOVIE ABOUT THE CLUMSY GIRL AND HER ABUSIVE UNDEAD BOYFRIEND.
I'm not going to lie. I lost it then and there. I started crying and screaming and then flinging stuff around my room in my anger. When my mother demanded to know what was wrong, I screamed, "WHAT ISN'T WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG?"
She replied, "If you don't get your shit together I'm not going to let you drink soda anymore! That sugar is fucking with your brain!"
"BUT I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE SODA! MY LIFE SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!"
My mother rolled her eyes and left the room, muttering, "Oh for Christ's sake!"
And now, after a looooooooooooooong wait and having salt rubbed in my wounds (by being dragged to the Twilight movie which was supposed to be a Harry Potter weekend!!!), it is here!
Well, that is my fangirl outburst.
Fingers crossed I don't have to punch some thirteen year old girl over a seat (like last year).
