Whee! More GOF!
Nov. 22nd, 2005 08:09 amSaw GOF for a third time last night with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
charlotteschaos and HDH. I think we scared the people around us, hehe. It wasn't a terribly fannish crowd, but the three of us started giggling at the scene where Cedric gives Harry the hint about the egg (oh so slashy), and then everyone around us started laughing too. I don't know if they were laughing at the same thing we were laughing at, though...
I really, really like this film. I didn't re-read the book before (haven't read it in years, actually), and I think that helped me enjoy the film on its own. I didn't go in with any particular expectations, and I wasn't disappointed by what was there or not there. There's a sense in which I look at the films like I look at fanfic, because ultimately, they're someone else's interpretation of the story. And like fanfic, sometimes we get new stuff that wasn't in the text (like the dorm scene in POA), and that's fantastic! (Speaking of fantastic,nomeremuggle has posted a slow-mo clip of Harry getting in the tub here. Thanks to thatzeppogirl for pointing it out!)
ETA: Oh! You know that look Harry gives Ron just after Hermione orders them up to bed at the end of the Ball (together, Char points out)? I have been wracking my brain to figure out why that looked so familiar, and aha -- that's the exact same look Ewan McGregor had on his face in... some film. Crap. Anyway, it's a Ewan thing. :-D
I watched POA over the weekend, and I was struck by how little the kids looked after seeing GOF. I also watched COS (which I hadn't done in a while, not my favorite) and was fairly stunned by the difference in the styles of the films. The movies seem to be getting better and better, and that makes me so excited for the next one!
I'm about to head out of town to spend quality time with MDH, so you won't see me around here much until next week. Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans!
