the amoebic nature of all things

even draco in the movie has become ivy blossom's draco. or... at least, draco who will become her draco. i've got the movie playing on my computer... while i write on this one... aaww, would you look how vulnerable he is? heh.

got to watching movie after siena and i were talking about it over dinner - after scott and i talked about it on im earlier. siena really likes it, despite really agreeing with me about it's weaknesses. well... i mean, i really like it too. but i wish she would be as enthusiastic about lotr. she likes that too... but she read it when she was young and blah blah blah. yeah, whatever. doesn't matter. clearly the fotr film does a far better job of relating its story then the hp film does. go ahead, argue with me.

ok. no more wine for me. wow. i am one cheap date. it takes nothing to get me tipsy. wooo. heheh. wooo.

LOTR

Read it when she was young?! Come on, I read it when I was in the fourth grade and I think it's one of the greatest movies ever made!

Thhhhppppt!

thank you.

yeah, well, i'm vaguely sympathetic to her... her mother read all the books aloud to her, she loved them... she's carried them around in her head for so long. and she did actually like the movie. but the things that don't match with her ideas of what things were like bug her enough that she complains about them. which i don't want to hear, thank you very much. esp since she hasn't read the books in so long that her criticisms tend to be pretty much baseless.

i think she just feels possessive of the stories, bc they were so important to her and now everyone is talking about them etc. but, whatever! get over it and admit the movie is amazing already!

draco

yes! now i find myself wanting to watch the movie to pick up on all of draco's hidden sweetness... i feel like it's gotten to the point where i just assume j.k. rowling will make draco into a good guy who falls in love with harry at the end! (we must note so far that harry has no real love interest yet.. hmm...)

hahaHA! siena is almost through with all of origins-haven-belong (fast reader) and she and i kept giggling whenever draco came on the screen yesterday. the scene when they meet!!!! oh, the tension! :)
maybe we should add harry potter to the movie list - just so you and i can discuss the slashiness. a warning though - i giggle madly whenever ron is on screen, just cuz that kid is so adorable.

yes. i know it's going to be a little disappointing - no matter what i tell myself to prepare for - when harry and draco don't hook up in future books. i feel like some big showdown will happen with them eventually though, and one could probably read plenty of slashy overtone into it when it does. i'm sure i will.

and then there's cho... darn cho.
