Everybody's doing it...

Loved it.

The stadiums were fabulous and the scenery generally awesome. The new characters introduced in this film with one exception were well cast and fun to watch, and the slash was ubiquitious... especially Ron. What was up with that? Ron's like the gayest gay boy in gaytown. But also with Victor and his Chum that constantly leaned all over him and the long looks between Harry and Snape..and Cedric! Propositioning Harry in the corridor like that!

On a personal Phwaarr! note, when the Durmstrang young men enter the hall it is HOTNESS! Much hotness!

And Emma Watson rocked every scene she was in. And was totally adorable in her ball dress.

BUT!!!!

Voldemort! WHAT THE FUCK?

I'd like to mention that at no point does JKR describe Voldemort as quite a handsome and charismatic character, oh yeah except for the nose thing, but look! see how charasmatic he is as he prances around being all expressive and vibrant and no, that scene where he's in Harry's face is NOT EROTIC. NO. STOP, you people are breaking me.

The thin man stepped out of the caudron, staring at Harry...and Harry stared back into the face that had haunted his nightmares for three years. Whiter than a skull, with WIDE, LIVID SCARLET EYES, and a nose that was as flat as a snake's. with slits for nostrils...

Lord Voldemort had risen again.

Voldemort looked away from Harry, and began examining his own body. His hands were like large, pale, spiders; his long white fingers caressed his own chest, his arms, his face; THE RED EYES, WHOSE PUPILS WERE SLITS, LIKE A CAT'S, GLEAMED MORE BRIGHTLY THROUGH THE DARKNESS.


Okay, the capitalisation is obviously me making my point. *points* That is a scary, scary enemy to have. NOT Ralph Fiennes with some nose putty.


Me *reads aloud above passage*
Dfly Yes, the point you made in the cinema AND on the way home is vindicated.
Me Look next page RED EYES
Dfly Venting is healthy.
Me Two pages later RED EYES
Dfly *ignores*
Me And again, next paragraph, RED EYES
Dfly You have, like, unchartered depths of rage inside you, don't you?

I luff you! A lot.

I'm sure that once I see it, I'll be all cranky about Ralph Fiennes and his complete lack of scarlet, cat pupilled eyes.

Luffs you back!

Oddly, I find evil to be slightly more threatening when it is, in fact, somewhat attractive -- it's easier to see how people who maybe don't mean to could be evil, and easier to see yourself as part of it. So I remain unbothered.

Also, hey, mesh shirt!

I'm grumpy about the complete rejection of canon. I've had this image imprinted on me in both the books and the fic for years and TPTB DON'T CARE.

Ron's like the gayest gay boy in gaytown ROTFL!!! I still haven't seen it, but I can't wait until I do! (with all your comments on board, of course!)

I think I love you.

No, no, I *know* I love you. You need to marry me.

Didn't I tell you that Ron was the gayest of the gay? Didn't I? And then they try and make him straight by being jealous of Hermione and Victor, but it's too late. We see right through him. No, Jo, he's not jealous of Victor. He's jealous of Hermione for going to the ball with Vicky.

Too late now to try and pretend he's straight. And you know, suddenly, Ron is a more interesting character. Before, just a blip, now, he's Victor's shag doll.

now, he's Victor's shag doll

You are brilliant.

I want a quiet ceremony, with only our children and close friends present.

Also, what do you want for Christmas? Your secret santa is desperate and pathetically crying out for help.
