The Trailer
Nov. 19th, 2006 04:43 pmWent 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: 2006-11-27 09:53 pm (UTC)I went and saw Happy Feet after reading in your LJ that the new HP trailer was going to be in front of it... which was the only reason I went to see the movie.
and I was very pleasently surprised by that movie... I found myself singing along, which kinda scared the friend I brought with me... and we were the only adults in the theatre that weren't their with large amounts of kids.
