Pop in a Quarter, Knock Yourself Out

Breathe in, Read, Breathe out.

was skimming through kay's blog and i realised that i have not blogged about the goblet. tsk tsk tsk. such punishable behaviour i have displayed.

well its no surprise that the movie was a major let down. where was the quidditch? why was the dragon fighting scene not what it was in the book? why did the movie not follow certain things in the book? why did certain parts just hang in the air, unfinished, like a lingering orgasm? it was terribly annoying. and yes before the masses start rebutting, i know that it is difficult to reproduce an exact copy of the book on screen but they could've at least made it more similar. i mean this movie had serious chunks taken out. i said CHUNKS, not bits. sure the movie would have been longer, but hey i'm willing to sit through another hour for the goblet if necessary, and i'll bet my ass crack that i'm not the only one. the phenomenon that is harry potter has spawned a huge pool of fans worldwide and they'll probably sit through any number of hours to watch a respectable movie that's as true to the literature as humanly possible.

but i have to say that it was nice to be put in the whole harry potter world once again through the magic of cinema. so even though i came out feeling disappointed, i didnt come out felling that i wasted 8.50 on crap, the exact way that you fools who watched chicken little would feel.
