emmagrant01Went to see Happy Feet today, basically just to see The Trailer. MDH took great delight in telling the ticket-taker and the guy who sold us popcorn that we were basically just there so I could see it. They gave me appropriately odd looks, but I didn't care. ;-)
Everyone and their brother has now seen one of the bootlegs of it, I'm sure, but I still wanted to see it on the big screen for myself. And it was awesome! OMG occlumency! And Sirius! And the DA! And the kiss! And Bellatrix!! I can't wait!! :-D
Happy Feet was a lot better than I expected. I had heard it had an environmental message, and I loved the fact that it was so sneaky about it. The theater was full of families with little kids, and I love the fact that all of those Republican "family values" types are now going to have to deal with children who are concerned about the impact of over-fishing on the poor little penguins. Mwahaha! I like movies where animals are portrayed as being intelligent and as having something to tell us, though -- especially when someone, somewhere (usually a child, but that's how these movies go) listens.
But back to HP. You know, I've seen a couple of posts lately about how the HP fandom is apparently dying. To which I have to say, Bzuh? I look at all the fic and all the HP-related posts on my flist, and I can only wonder what the people who are saying that are looking at. But then, as Qui-Gon said, your focus determines your reality. ;-)

Date: 2006-11-20 06:49 am (UTC)The PoT mess was from last year, especially when Aja (and apparently some other people I don't read) announced she was leaving HP partially because of it. People were hurling around accusations that PoT was the destroying the fandom, which is really silly because, as you said, many authors coexist in multiple fandoms peacefully.
