Harry Potter and teh Order of the NOTHING.

Ok, if you read my previous post, you'll see that I absolutely LOVED transformers. Now, that movie changed some things about the original show, which is not only understandable, but expected. A movie today can not be 100% like the show or book it was adapted from I understand that, I really do.
Watching the Harry Potter movie was like watching a movie that was made by someone who didn't read the books. It is like they had a summary of the plot, without any of the character development or behavior.
I expected changes, I expected exemptions, really, I did. I have a problem with the changed they make because most of them were not only unnecessary changes, but most of them changed the characters in ways that is detrimental to the story. I don't want to go over every detail, because I know most of you don't want to read that. I just wanted to vent somewhere that I do not feel they stayed true to the spirit of the books, and that ruined the movie for me.
Also, NO QUIDDITCH AGAIN.

P.S. I think I am in love with Luna.

More than Meets the Eye

Hey everyone. I saw transformers tonight, with my fiancee and my nephew. I must say that, though I was expecting a terrible butchering of my beloved robots in disguise, the movie was, as my nephew put it best, PHENOMENAL. Absolutely amazing. I loved every single second of it. The acting and effects and writing and plot all blended so perfectly, I really must say that the crew, along with director Michael Bay, did an absolutely phenomenally fantastic job. I have two qualms with the movie, but they are both supremely surmountable and did not effect my feelings for the movie. I honestly wanted to go to the next showing of it, right there, but I have to survive to go into work and spread the news. FAN-FRIGGIN-TASTIC.

Advice: Do not vomit while you sleep.

Just thought you guys might like to know this. I finally fell asleep, finally. All of a sudden, I'm sitting up in bed, with a mouth full of vomit. Hot sticky chunky acid vomit. Run to toilet; vomit. Rinse mouth with water; dry heave. Gulp Pepto Bismol in panic; throw up panick bismol. Call Mal, make her worry. Stupid Dan.

Now that I can clear my throat without vomit coming up, I'm going to go brush my teeth and go to bed.

I feel like that dead dog we saw at the beach, with the decomposing bloated stomach.
