I wondered when this thread would happen.

The movie got mixed reviews from me and my fiance. I like it very much from an artistic standpoint. The balance between plot and fluff was quite good, I thought, and they did some wonderful things with the camera.

However, as usual, they did some fairly unforgivable things to the story. I don't remember personally, since it's been a long time since I read the book, but my man assures me that the attack on the Burrow did not happen and was a waste of film time that could have been used for other things, like showing more of the collection of Voldemort memories. Also, the rule about no Apparating in or out of Hogwarts applies equally to everyone, including Dumbledore. He was very disappointed that they didn't include the remnants of Dumbledore's Army and the Battle of the Astronomy Tower. Also the lack of the Order of the Phoenix doing anything at all. I was personally annoyed that they didn't give Snape his line at the end. "Don't call me coward!" Very important character moment.

On the other hand, I thought the scene at the underground lake was very well done. I cried the first time, especially when Dumbledore got up and torched all the Inferi. It was so awesome and so awful, knowing he was going to die soon. {= (

They changed some bitz. I WANT THE BAT BOGEY HEX!

(Not on me personally, of course...)

+++++Stasis field 1 removed. All Praise be to the Machine God.+++++

+++++Stasis field 2 removed. Pull Lever to restore Power and Activate all Machines.+++++

+++++Final Stasis field removed. Sing Praise to the Lord of All Machines!+++++

+++++Hibernation Terminated. Agents Zotz and Illixia successfully returned to full functioning. Stand by for further updates.+++++

Wot thinke ye? I was definitely happy with the increased Luna content, but all the Inferi looked like Gollum!

But that's different.

I mean the entirety of the body text. Maybe it's just Firefox, or some weird thing about my computer, but when I mouse over the story text, all of it goes red. Not just this chapter, either--I think all of them will do it if I try, and I see nothing in the HTML to explain it. It's kinda cool, but strange.

Yeah... :P

I'm not sure what text you're thinking of... the only bit that should change colour is the link up at the top of the page.

"Er... do any of you have a Remote Activator on you?"

I think that was my favorite line. It cut the drama in a very good way. *g*

I caught a couple of things:

1. Captain Dandy rustled his feathers.
-- Really?

2. She [Tango] squeezes his hand and turned away.
-- I assume that's meant to be "squeezed."

Also, I just noticed that the text turns red on mouse-over. Is there a reason for that?

I look forward to the conclusion of the story. And then I'll really have to go back and read everything straight through, because it will be excellent. {= )

*Begins to mop up the mess*

Yes, I've seen some other similar ones as well - from recollection, it was Sweeney Todd, with a list at the top of which characters were playing which parts (can't remember what the other canon was at the moment), and then just a copy-and-paste of the words. I cannot work out why people even bother writing this sort of thing - it just seems like an utter waste of time, to me.

So long as I don't have to clear up the glitter sick, yes.

I was scrambling to put together an apology as fast as possible, and I may have compromised quality there, sorry.

Fantastic. Fan-kriffing-tastic.

*is gleeful and squee-y and very very impressed*

And I cannae say any more for fear I give out spoilers.

Its just that I was trying to hide the fact that I liked the romance by adding the 'laidies' part. Also, the ship sinking in the ending was perfect from a literary standpoint (I also said that in the other post), and I tought I'd just look whiny complaining about it. And yes, I forgot that not all complaints about fictional works are from a literary standpoint.

There, ya happy? *vomits*

I meant no offense. Sorry if I was unconsiously stereotyping. Here's a revised version of the statement:

And for the laidies who want it (and the men who do**), there's romance.

**To be honest, I was bitching about the metaphorical Antishipping missile launched at the Beri/Page ship. I don't know why I didn't tell you this earlier, except that I may have come across as a rabid fan trying to draw you all (even the males, I admit that) into a stupid shipping thread worthy of...the less moderated boards. There, are you happy? Yes, I'm telling the truth. I swear to the Embodiment of all Memes that I do. Sorry.

Yes, the first sentence of that footnote is part of the revised statement.

I always prefer people to point out my mistakes -- the alternative is leaving them up, and no one wants that.

hS

Because if so, cue glee, and failure to keep up with the anime again. XD I prefer the manga anyway: there's less time a week for me to get frustrated with the lack of suspense.

Looked like a mistake, I didn't mean to be rude by pointing it out, just figured I'd ask about it. As for the rest of it, barring a couple grammatical hiccups it's well-written. My ability to comment is rather limited by the fact that I don't want to risk putting spoilers out, heh. I'll shut up and get back to work, now. :P

(I meant the Floating Hyacinth, of course. The /one time/ I rely on my memory...)

hS

More "Crashing Down"! And it's as awesome as always. I squeed a bit at both of the revelations.
