Now, that was three hours of my life I'd like to have back again...

[heidi]

...if only so I could watch the entire movie again NOW NOW NOW NOW instead of waiting until Friday night when I see it with various fandomers (squee!).

Review coming soon to FictionAlley & TLC.

However, I have a few nonspoilery comments for now:
1. It's all about Lucius (and if only I could convince gwendolyngrace that he should be our Jewish perspective presenter for Nimbus - 2003 all would be right with the world).

2. It really is always eviltime!

3. Cassie should try to sleep with Christian Coulson.

4. Not enough Snape.

5. Chris Columbus is occasionally very very inspired. Unfortunately, he's also occasionally very very very deluded. They sort of balance each other out.

6. While there are parts of this film that I want to accept as canon, mostly in terms of characterisation stuff which I think is regularly spot-on, there are a few departures from the books which I think are very problematic (final scene included). There are, however, others, which I think are quite nicely done.

7. I need to go write Surfeit of Curses again. But first, I need to rewrite the Flourish & Blotts scene from Draco's perspective. Wooblet!

1. It's all about Lucius

See? You say that, too. Now I'm even more nervous about the film than I was before - even though I thought that wouldn't be possible. And you could always try to convinve, no? And of course it's not enough Snape, because there is no such thing as enough Snape. *squees a bit with you - don't we make a nice choir ;)*

If I weren't so tired I'd be jumping around about the movie and seeing you all.

Heidi, you know what I love best about your posts?
The music! Johnny hates Jazz? My gosh...

I feel like I should go home right now and listen to China Crisis or Pete Wylie.

Instead I am off to look for leftover Halloween discount items...

*humming arizona sky*

WAH!.

What'll it be? Arizona Sky or Sinful?

Well, since I left my office - I've been alternating between "its sinful - its tragic" and "what kind of girl are you" arizona sky got bumped...

I haven't thought of Then Jerico in years...

(drat my lack of turntables these days)

I need to go write Surfeit of Curses again.

Oh, please do! I found SoC about six months ago on FA, and got completely sucked into it, and was v. sad when it looked like you weren't updating it any more. I would love to see more.

In exchange for being a pushy fan, I'm willing to offer beta services - I'm not a super canon nit-picker, but I am a grammar and vocab bitch - if you need more beta-ers.

You know, I would so be there.
