despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage

PERHAPS I SHOULD POST.

I actually saw Half-Blood Prince at the midnight release a week ago, but whatever, it's never too late to spill my thoughts on it! Plus I'm going to see it again tonight with my parents, I believe, so it's appropriate.


-- I REALLY LOVED IT. I'm incredibly easy to please with the HP movies at this point, but I still loved it. It was so pretty. I wish the Burrow hadn't been randomly burned down and the quick tossed-in "sweetheart" to let us know about Remus/Tonks was just silly, but other than that.
-- In my very biased opinion, Draco was by far the best part of it. He was just so perfectly scared and trying so hard and failing anyway and generally being a spoiled sixteen-year-old asshole who suddenly has way more responsibility than he actually wanted. I love Tom Felton dearly just for making my favorite come across correctly.
-- ♥RUPERT GRINT♥
-- The whole theater went "AWWWWWWWW!" really loudly at the Ron/Hermione bits. As they should have, because ♥
-- Harry/Ginny was actually fairly sweet! I enjoyed it! I do not think I will ever find that pairing interesting the way it got done in canon, but it was pleasantly cute in the movie with the absence of the chestmonster.
-- I could just be delusional, but I really think Dan has gotten much better at acting and that it showed this time around.
-- I cried a little after Dumbledore died. :(
-- Seriously, just *________*

Also, I signed up for and claimed a prompt for [livejournal.com profile] bandom_hc! It is the best prompt.

gerard and mikey are heirs-in-hiding of kingdom occupied by neighbours, and the rest of mcr/brian are their knights/vassals etc. after period of depression gerard rises a rebellion against invaders, loses, gets captured, imprisoned and awfully tortured for a year until the rest of mcr manage to save him and bring him to loyal healers (panic?). long rehabilitation ensues :D

I've written about 2500 words so far and I'm enjoying it thoroughly.

What's wrong with this icon? :(

It delights me! I just have no idea what he's DOING! WHAT IS HE DOING!?!?!?!?!

HAVE YOU NOT SEEN THE MOVIE YET?

Oh my God, suddenly you have billions of HP icons. I adore confused Hermione. That being said, um, yes, but it was at midnight and I spent a lot of it laughing inappropriately at Longing Glances, so, erm, I have no idea what Harry is doing there. Refresh my memory?

YES, I AM ROLLING IN HP ICONS. \o/ Have Ron being precious.

It's the bit when he's on Felix Felicis and he and Slughorn are at Hagrid's for Aragog's funeral and Hagrid is like SPIDERS ARE SO MISUNDERSTOOD, I THINK IT'S THE EYES and Harry goes "Not to mention the pincers! :D? :D?" and makes little pincer motions.

RIGHT. RONNYKINS.

Oh, RIGHT. Did that happen in the book? I haven't read it since I was 16! And I read it all in one day, and I was kind of traumatized by Dumbledore dying and forgot about everything else.

I don't think it was in the book? It's been a while for me as well, though. Either way, it was amazing.

YEAH IT WAS.

Totally unrelated: which was the one with the double reverse Mosby? I hope I'm remembering that right... I saw it on TV a million billion years ago, possibly the night it actually originally aired. Where Robin realizes she likes Barney and Barney finally comes clean to her so she Mosby's him! And then he Mosby's her! And I think the actual Mosby winds up in the hospital because of Missy the goat, which would make it Ted's 31st birthday party? And then they're just like, OK, let's be awesome.

MOST INCREDIBLY LATE, but that's 4x24, The Leap, the S4 season finale.

Is that the same one where they all jump to the other building? IT IS ISN'T IT.

WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THE FINALE CURSES. When does the next season start? (CAPLES VIEWING PARTIES!?!?!?!?!?)

(HEY I REMEMBER WHEN YOUR ICON HAPPENED!)

[identity profile] peridium.livejournal.com 2009-07-23 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
YES IT IS AND IT'S AWESOME.

BECAUSE GOD HATES YOU, IDK. Next season starts on September 21st and I demand Caples viewing parties!

GOOD. Because in the past few days, my reaction to good things has been to say "WHAT UP!?" and I keep using "awesome" way more frequently than is necessary. I think you're the only one who will get me now.

I completely understand and will now look forward to this with great joy. :DDD
