i'm SO going to hell...

[somedaybitch]

but i'm not goin' alone, baby.

there's me and the M and bron and spook and jul sitting in the theater at Universal Citywalk watching the latest OHMIGODITSSOFUCKINGBRILLIANT! Harry Potter movie.

fat, dumb and happy, giggling at the onset-of-hormones angst and gearing up for the scary-bad-stuff angst, when along comes Dan Radcliffe in an obscenely large bathtub with no shirt on. the internal monologue went something like, jeezuslookatthoseabs...holyfuckheshot...ohmigod...HESONLYFIFTEEN...AREYOUHIGH...holycowthosebicepsarecut...OHMIGODIMSOGOINGTOHELL...HESAMINOR...manishehot. the M and i had about the same physical reactions to what we were saying, blinking, stuttering, trainwreck fascination, and i'm pretty sure we both said aloud, at almost the same time, "i'm so going to Hell."

i may have to hunt Mike Newell down and kill him for this.

meanwhile....there was TEN! ZOMG, TEN!!!! and he was teh HAWT, BABY! all leather and evil and snake!tongue. but of course, he's an adult, and so not a minor, and as such couldn't help me with the going-to-hell problem. the bastard.

in not-really-spoilery comments....the Quidditch stadium? holy jeebus on a moped, was it awesome. maaaaaaaan. and, and, the tent city, and, and the Dark Mark, and the tatoos, and, and the Sirius in the fireplace, and, and, HOLY COW@!11!!!

*ahem*

so yeah, it didn't suck.

when i've seen it again, hopefully in the next few days, i'll be able to sit down and have a proper squee about all of the brilliance that is this latest installment. sooooooooo many awesome little things. *sighs*

The Special Hell was invented for that scene. I was physically uncomfortable, not because I was attracted, but because I knew I was supposed to be. So weird.

And Ten! David Tennant! Looking... dangerous and way hotter than the pics I've seen of him as Ten.

I'm jealous of y'all having The M and all. Where are the STORIES?

well, there was one rather amusing story involving criminologists line dancing to gangster rap. heh.

yeah. loggin in. always helpful.

so... well liked eh? :D The first thing I thought in the scene w/ Mertyle was that the fics were already being written, heh. Teen angst that is refreshing and not so annoying. and the cost... Harry wasn't innocent anymore before, now who can he trust?


...and in the goin' to hell in a handbasket camp? repeat after me, they're all jailbait, they're all jailbait, they're, um, Ms. Watson is certainly grownig up... eh, what was I saying...

well, the twins are of age, i believe. heh.

like i was telling spook and red elsewhere, i think it was that i didn't expect it because i see Dan as Harry, and a kid, so i think it was the more caught unawares thing that shocked me.

but then there was hawt David Tennant and i felt much better.

ya wanna REALLY weird yourself out? I watched sorcerer's stone last night ['cuz I think this may just turn into one long Potter week...] and OK, they actually LOOK like children in it...and I kinda forgot that...

on another tack I've read a few revs where they point out this or that thing, and I myself thought the ending was weak... but it also dawned on me that in essence I don't care. I've become enamoured with the idea that each director brings his own vision [I look at the first 2 as one long universe establishing movie] and yeah I'm really diggin the whole thing. I've seen it 2x already, and prolly will again this week, just finding all the little tidbits. Ultimately since I am not suffering book comparison issues [haven't read 'em yet?] each little thing that is only slightly explained... or comes from out of nowhere, is a new source of wonderment, rather than an irritation... oh wait getting serious, can't have that now can we?

imagine the reaction the 16yr old girls to Dan? heh, they were already wearing towels on street corners for him... :devil:

i don't think the ending was weak so much as, not really endy? and yet...it was completely appropriate. TheAwfulThings had happened, and then the new friends all went home and you're left with kids feeling all anti-climactic. which is, i think, exactly what happens after AwfulThings.

[arthurfrdent.livejournal.com]

not really endy? hmmm, yes that's the phrase that works
