If I hadn't read a lot of gossip I wouldn't have known he actually died in that scene - nowhere near enough time. But not having read the book, I was engrossed and carried along by the story. Which is more than I can say for the previous instalment with its seemingly endless Quest competitioon.Jonathan Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578332677544175692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696126386168661766.post-5544807324410360372007-07-13T02:31:00.000-07:002007-07-13T02:31:00.000-07:00Read that post and have no idea who or what the Fa...Read that post and have no idea who or what the Fantastic Four might be, but I'll take your word for it being a bad movie. I usually find books much better because of the extra detail and also because your imagination creates your very own movie so each person who reads a story can become enriched with their own experience. Also I clicked on your link to the Flow Field Unity and I find those comics quite funny, so I've added it to my "favourites" list.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696126386168661766.post-70513230946697390782007-07-13T02:01:00.000-07:002007-07-13T02:01:00.000-07:00Check out the previous post on the Fantastic Four ...Check out the previous post on the Fantastic Four and you'll get some kind of idea ...franzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400212989359954521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696126386168661766.post-9954416491033056882007-07-13T01:47:00.000-07:002007-07-13T01:47:00.000-07:00ALL the oscars AND a meat tray? wow, so everything...ALL the oscars AND a meat tray? wow, so everything else you've seen lately is truly awful then?

Were you at the Piccawilly?<BR/><BR/>That's exactly my point about the movie - I believed all that stuff in the book because JK gave the development of fear and apathy time to get off the ground, whereas in the movie, you just had to cross your legs really hard and wait for the director to lean in front of the camera and go "You know! Remember? Like in the book!"<BR/><BR/>Even the Sirius death scene was over in under thirty seconds. First he's having a heart-to-heart-let-me-go-over-the-trenches-for-you-oh-chosen-one-because-i-love-you-and-we're-family with Harry, then you blink, they're battling side-by-side, blink again and zap - dead. Harry mourns, kicks and screams, tally-ho, on with the plot.franzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400212989359954521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696126386168661766.post-72134452132994218072007-07-12T18:04:00.000-07:002007-07-12T18:04:00.000-07:00Nano nano nano, this is all getting a bit weird Fr...Nano nano nano, this is all getting a bit weird Franzy because we three saw HP and the OOTP last night. Love Chunks and I thought it lacked a bit of 'oomph' and that JK decided - fairly late on in the book - that "Oh geez, I need to slot in a chase or search for summat - I'll bung in a bit on that crystal ball stuff....<BR/><BR/>LC has read all of the books to Sapphire over the past couple of years, so as a newly-turned eight year old I was rather impressed with her calm acceptance of the dark and scary bits. As Sirius died, she cried, grabbing my arm and saying, "Oh I knew it was going to happen Mum, but it's still sad."<BR/><BR/>My biggest issue is that, after five flippin' years of school, poor old Hazz STILL has to convince his friends, classmates and the wider community that he's telling the truth.... Surely they would have accepted him by now?Kath Locketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677312773827236567noreply@blogger.com
