agrestic yet majesstic

ok, to say I was disappointed is a bit of an understatement and it pains me to even say that! I've been looking forward to this movie for so long.

here is what I've found to not be so good about the movie:

• very loosely based off of the book - in comparison to all the other movies, they stuck to the plotline in the books. this one, however, did not include key information that feeds into the 7th book/movies. also, they removed the only fight scene in the book, the one at the end with all the action and shock of the plot.
  
• the ginny/harry romance - now, i love me some harry & ginny love, however, it was tacky the way they did it. ginny is dating dean and then all of a sudden likes harry? when did she break up with dean? also, they start snogging and being together for the majority of the movie, which is again, not like the book. they incorporate ginny into many scenes that she wasn't involved with in the book.
• fight scene at the burrow - now, I just reread the book so I know for sure that this was all made up and doesn't exist. why add a fight scene that isn't key to the plot/ending of the story and remove the one that was written??? just doesn't make sense to me.
• harry & dumbledore's relationship change - now this is key in the book, because it changes. harry goes from being viewed as a student to more of dumbledore's equal. the movie did show this a bit, but left out so many conversations and information that I viewed crucial in the book. with the way it was done in this movie, I don't know how they're going to do the seventh one.
• the funeral scene - in case someone actually does read my blog, I don't want to give a spoiler, but the final chapters in the book are about a funeral for a key character that dies. in the movie, there is no funeral. this is also key because it's the scene that harry tells ginny that he can no longer date her because he's concerned about her wellbeing. in the book, it's moving and thoughtful and just portrays the visual image of mourning his true love and his idol. completely cut from the movie.
• horace slughorn's character - now this is just not casted well (according to what I saw from JK Rowling's description). he's suppose to be fat and resemble a walrus. this dude that plays slughorn was not at all what I envisioned and he kept making a weird face with his eye... almost like popeye. just strange.

I'll have to say though, that if I didn't read the book, I would have loved it. It was interesting and well done. All of my problems with the movie somehow were differences in the book to the screen. I liked that it was witty and it brought more comedic relief to the screen than the previous movies. I think that was good because this book is a pretty dark & depressing book between the fight between Ron and Hermione, Draco's shady character, the adventures of Harry and Dumbledore, the memories of Voldemort and the death of the main character.

If I were to be a true movie critic and were to give it a grade: low B

and thorns to you, David Yates! stick to book 7 PLEEEEEASE

i figured out a way to update my blog from work. suh-weeeet.

#974597 things I love: sticking it to the man!

so I decided I'm going to do a new thing every time I post. Roses to things I like and thorns to things that suck. got it?

well, i went home this weekend to dog sit the world's worst dog. mr. puggles was so bad for me! he only wanted to eat peacock shit. ate like 5 piles of it. would search out the peacock shit like deliberately because i was telling him not to eat it. and then he kept getting out of his gates. he only wanted to sleep on my back on friday night and then decided it was puppy play time at 6AM. on saturday, we were out by the pool and he thought it'd be cool to run around on the garage rooftop, you know, possibly drop like 20 feet to his death. not cool, dog. THORNS to mr. puggles. THORNS.

and for my roses, it will have to be time with old friends that i never get to see anymore. over the weekend i hung out with emily and andrew by the pool and then went to see the proposal. the movie was good but i preferred just chilling with them talking over actually doing something with them. odd, but i missed them. and with my bachelorette coming up, i'll get to see more old friends. that should be so much fun. ROSES to friends :D

another thing that gets roses, is HARRY POTTER tomorrow. I cannot wait. currently, it is 39 hours and 27 minutes away. and eddie stroma, the guy playing cormac mclaggen... he gets a whole bouquet of roses himself because he's such a hottie. please see for yourself.normally i don't agree with perez hilton's drawings on pictures, but for once he draws the truth. for reals. ROSES all around to HP and the HBP!

now enough with flowers. i'm going to list what's new in my life.

1. got a cute new addition to the family - Colby the skinny kitty! he's four years old and just so cute. Thomas and him get along great (thank God)
2. most of the wedding plans are finished. just working on invitations, the program, and booking that honeymoon! vacation time was approved so two weeks off! woot! (ok, I lied, I'm not done with flowers. vacation time... that gets a rose!)
3. wedding dress fitting tomorrow night. i have my shoes, purse, and possible jewelry. now to just figure out my hair. maybe i should do it myself in a sort of style to get the gist of what to expect. hmmm.

and yeah, now i think i should go back to work and actually do something i'm suppose to : /

::womp womp womp::

so, it's been a while. i'm not good at this whole blog thing just yet.

i was thinking about what i should write about in here... my only real thought was peanut butter and how amazing it is and for me to just write all the different ways it's fabulous but then realized truly no one would read this then.

i think i'm just going to be as uncouth and politically incorrect as possible and just post things that i think are cool. such as this:

i particularly love this because American Girl made a big deal that they were making a Jewish doll... and now it's named after a terrorist on the FBI most wanted list, **womp, womp, womp** name fail! sucks to be them!

and this, this is making my panties moist!!! why do i have to wait until july? should have been out in NOVEMBER, f'ing bitches!!!

seriously, i'm going at midnight, i don't care if i'm 23 and andy thinks i'm a lunatic. i probably am. get over it.

as for in my life, the apt. is coming along. thomas, the fattie, manages to keep finding hiding spots which is amazing because he's large and there's not that many spots to hide. kind of makes me nervous.

we went out last night with one of my sorostitute sorority sisters that lives in the area... the bars were a bit meh. all seemed to be dead. most likely because of the bike race that's going on this weekend and the nonstop blockparty that shuts down the town. but yeah, we were out for like an hour or two and some and andy was being a party pooper so we left and decided to walk back... which ended up being over a mile when he mapped it when we got home. lemme check on the fun status on the funometer. yeah, scoring a big fat ZERO. oh well, we did it and probably wouldn't be a bad walk if it wasn't at 1230AM and we like knew the area a bit? whatever, dunzo with it.

and with that, ladies and gents, i am dunzo with this post.
