this weekend started out with movies, movies, and more movies! i finally saw transformers, and with Judy and Robyn! i enjoyed the decepticon bashing. so overall, i was satisfied with the amount of robot bashing. and of course, the coolest part was Optimus Prime. he has an awesome, "i'm ready to kick ass" scene. i had to say it outloud to Robyn, "THAT'S AWESOME!"
and now today, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince! you know what i realized though? I'm really mad that we're only seeing half-blood prince now. it is not as exciting as it would be had it come out in the winter, like it was supposed to. other than that, it was a really good movie. lol. btw, if you're going to go see it, get there about 40 min before it starts. it's still really crowded! i went to see it with *hugs* arisa! she found out that the reserved ultra-screen tickets are now $16 freakin dollars! i did think that 8.50 for the ultrascreen matinee was kinda high too! (i thought it was supposed to be 7.50?!) (it made me think, maybe i should've bought 10 boxes of cereal? ^_^;;;) it was a really good movie though and i don't mind it for the ultrascreen experience. i think i'll be going to the theatre to see it again if possible. my goal is to see it 3 times, because it's Harry Potter, and that's what I do... -__-;;; i forgot how quickly the movie can progress, just like the books. from this point on, it's just going to snowball downhill!
it was very much, the main points of the main points of the book. me thinks they've finally found the correct way to translate the harry potter books into movies! lol. it really felt like a movie this time. "not like we're watching a chapter after a chapter," as Judy said. if you're into the movies and not the books, i think i might suggest you watch the previous movie before you head out to see this one. this movie starts very promptly, basically at the same moment the previous movie ended on!
arisa was commenting, "are they really that old?!" well, because professor mcgonagall looked really old. i felt the same, lol. my first reaction was, "what's with all the horomones, lol!" but yeah, i guess that's what this book was about too. the Ron-girl issues were funny. *happy sigh*
now... ONTO "THE LAST AIRBENDER" MOVIE TRAILER!
o... m... g... i almost fell over dead when i saw this trailer at the transformers movie. i was so filled with joy and excitement that i cried... i think crying over this news is a bad thing, but i couldn't help how happy it made me. i love this series with all my heart, as much as i love harry potter and fruits basket!
by the look of the trailer, it actually gives very little as to how the story will be told. i was worried about it too because i didn't know who'd be writing it, but when i saw this interview with the director, now, i just know it'll be awesome! M.Night talks about the show with as much passion as i'd talk about it! *phew* and yay!
avatar: the last airbender is just great series. it treats its story like anime: it has a beginning, middle, and end. characters develop. and face the consequences of what they've done. and they have to make choices that effect their destiny. so yeah, this isn't sponge-bob-square pants.
it's also about (and this is what appealed to me when i first saw it) martial arts, eastern religions, cultures, and myths, and then throw in "bending" of the four elements! the writers do a wonderful job with humor too. way to be sassy! and just hilarious. it's full of win.
since the movie will be coming out, i thought i'd buy the 1st season asap. lol. i can't help. i'm obsessed? XD
