intrikate88Went to the Harry Potter movie for the midnight viewing- decent, but the fans were scary. Harry was boringly angsty, as expected, but everything else was pretty much good even if Voldy wasn't scary at all. Tonks was brilliant but not often seen, we didn't get barely any information about the Order of the Phoenix, Luna wins at random forever, and I am certain that Snape is hiding in a closet all scenes we don't see him and reading Wuthering Heights for the 4,872nd time and scribbling notes for his book, Becoming Heathcliff in 7 Easy Steps and 10 Complex Spells.
Also Delores Umbrage was amazing. Horrible and PINK, and the actress nailed the little annoying twitches of her character. That was a fantastic job, really. But those decorative plates with the kittens on them, in her office, were actually the most horrifying things ever. I think the Doctor wants to rescue them and give them to the Irish cat face man in Gridlock.
Speaking of the Doctor, I really was sad that Barty Crouch Jr. didn't show up in this movie. David Tennant does such an amazing portrayal of being batshit raving loony. Also there are the Gratuitous Tongue Shots, there were like five in thirty seconds in the fourth movie. Also the phone box that Harry and Arthur got to the Ministry through made me cackle and want to write crossover crack fic where Harry's aiming for the Ministry but ends up in the TARDIS instead. And doesn't realize his mistake for awhile, since he's actually used to things being bigger on the inside.
I'd write that if I wasn't fundamentally opposed to having obligatory HP crossover fics in every bloody fandom. Still scarred from FF.N, me.
Did anybody else quote Giles when Hermione told Ron he had the emotional depth of a teaspoon? Everybody I was with immediately followed it up with "and the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone!" and then we all cackled and wanted to see Giles and Wesley wander by. Also when Sirius was in the fireplace I was chanting "Fireplace man! Fireplace man!"
I think crossovers need to be included in the books to relieve the pressure on fans.
Speaking of bad writing in fandom, George Eliot wrote an excellent essay against Mary-Sues in 1856, because the Victorians were badass and pretty much had internet fandom going on, without the internet. Anyhoo, read at least the first paragraphs, and laugh. I did. I also linked to this as a resource in the side of my LJ, to be found at any time easily.
Lastly, remind me to make a graphics post soon, I have about three months of icons, wallpapers and other random stuff lying around and if any interest is shown I might have a possibility of procrastinating in that direction instead of Youtube or something.
