Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Unlike most people who are in love with Harry, I'm not sure that I have a favorite novel. But what I can tell you is the GoF is now my favorite of the movie franchise. Darker (obviously) than the first three, it also is WORLDS improved over PoA, which was definitely a piss-poor interpretation of the novel. There was stuff left out of GoF (obviously) but I didn't feel like I was missing any of it. Oh, and sexual tension between Hermione and Ron = really good.

And now let's talk about the "kids" who have been playing the characters. Rupert Grint = really buff. I felt very dirty watching him on screen. The twins have also grown up QUITE nicely. Daniel is cute, but doesn't have the same appeal as those red-headed Weasleys. Emma is also quite the young lady now.

So when's #5 coming out?

After the movie, went with unfortunately-named-guy to Mystic and then out for dinner. We came back here for a drink and The Princess Bride but I, being a lousy date, started to fall asleep, so we ended the movie early. All-in-all, a very good day.

Today involves driving back home so I can pick up my rolling-money-guzzler...er, I mean car. I don't even want to THINK about what the bill will be. And I STILL don't have a CD player. Grr.

It's going to snow for Thanksgiving. C'mon, who said THAT was acceptable. I have to drive to enjoy the turkey this year! *Not amused*

The Poser Geek
You answered 64% of the questions as a geek truly would.


As a poser geek, you're trying too damned hard. There's a strong possibility that you think you're a geek because you own your own computer, however you're truly missing the bigger picture. You aspirations of being a geek mainly come from your friends, who are probably slightly cooler.

Get rid of those thick black-rimmed glasses. Being a geek isn't about style, it's about substance!

So what's this all mean? It means you're probably a pretty cool person. You've probably got social graces and are well liked by many people. While not a complete conformist, you do prefer to follow along with popular culture. True geeks probably laugh at you behind your back.

In a nutshell, you answered most question how you thought a geek WOULD answer, but your misconceptions deceived you. Truth is, 60% of people are geekier than you.

    you know, I *did* feel like I was missing parts. It's not the movie's fault, they could never have fit that whole book into a reasonable length film, but I'd almost rather it had been longer. As for sexual tension between Ron and Hermione, is it just me or did they cut out a major scene from the Yule Ball?

    There wasn't enough Sirius, and what's with absolutely zero Dobby? He's annoying, but kind of important in the plot. Are they gonna leave him out of the movies altogether?

    The next one will be an interesting test for the screen writer, that is for sure. Although roommie didn't point out that a lot of the book is Harry just brooding, which can be shown in a few seconds of screen time.
