Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire

I'm expecting company tonight or else I'd have taken _decibel_ up on his post about getting a group together to see Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire. Since I couldn't go tonight, I took in a matinee today. It's the way movies should be -- quiet and considerate people, relaxing theater, and no cell phones going off or children crying.


Dude, You Look SOOOOOO Gay!

It has been a while since I had read the book, but I do recall greatly enjoying it. The story has a wonderful way of having a growing tension, leading up to the grand climax at the end of the book. It's one of the reasons they are so hard to put down once you've started them. I don't think the movie is any different, I think I checked my watch once during the movie. I thought the movie was incredible!


Our Hermione is Growing Up and Getting Beautiful

I will say that I think the actors are growing in talent. Emma Watson is becoming quite a beautiful young lady. I saw her in the dress above and thought, "Oh look, Hermione is getting boobies!" She'll be one to look out for as she grows up, she'll be a heartbreaker.

I wont give away any spoilers, but I am not sure if that's possible, since most of the audience has likely already read the book. Still, I wont give anything in depth.

The special effects were exceptional, they really brought the story to life. I think Hagrid could do better. Once you see the movie, you'll know what I mean. I will say this movie is a bit darker than the others, but that goes along with the kids growing up. It's reality I guess, in a fantasy world.

One last nugget I throw out is the Bulgarian actor playing Victor Krum. His name is Stanislav Ianevski and he is quite the hunk. It's his first acting gig according to the IMDB. I think one of the things I like about this movie is that if there is a French character, they hire a French actor for realism.

It's not hard to figure out from this lengthy post, but I really loved the movie.

Comedians of Comedy

Comedy Central is putting The Comedians of Comedy tonight, which is an odd show of sorts. It's part reality show, part stand up, mostly sheer goofy stuff. The show stars Patton Oswald and Zach Galifianakis and two other comedians I've never heard of. It's interesting to see how they interact as they travel about. Tonight's episode had them getting thrown out of a Cracker Barrel for bringing in cameras and then has the four of them sitting on the front "porch" on the rocking chairs, giving country witticisms about religion and freedom of choice. I've never seen the chick with the pink hiar before.... or have I?



I'll have to watch it again. Zach Galifianakis is strange, but he's awfully cute with that messed up hair and thick beard. Yum! He reminds me a cute local bear I've dated.
