OOTP REVIEW & BABBLE
The Good:
1. Luna. a) Evanna Lynch was a real-life HP fan, which is just awesome. b) She's quite convincing in her "not-all-there" -ness and prety much nails the role. Also, I'm biased because I just love Luna.
2. THESTRALS.
3. DUMBLEDORE. Okay, well...he didnt pwn as much as I envisioned, but I'm okay with that. I probably fangirl Dumbleydore way too much anyway. His escape---pretty awesome. Fighting Voldie at the end? Also great. BUT GAWD I HATE THAT LITTLE BEARD PONYTAIL.
4. UMBRIDGE. Her annoying little 'hem hem' was PERFECT. She was irritating, despicable, condescending, vile and had horrible fashion sense. Prettier than portrayed in the books, but made up for it in spades with her nastiness.
5. KITTEH PLATES.
6. Annoyed!Snape. The look on his face during Umbridge's little 'inspection' was great.
7. NEVILLE. OMG FRANK & ALICE. SQUEE!!!! Maybe I have too much of a soft spot from playing Neville's mother in so many RPs over the years, but I was so happy with the OOTP photo. Also: PETER PETTIGREW HAD A MULLET. LOLOLOLOLOLOL. (But seriously, stop making PP look untrustworthy & oily from the get go---James, Sirius, Lupin & Lily weren't complete dolts (okay maybe James kind of was lol) ---the guy was their friend for a long time, and they trusted him enough to be Secret Keeper, right?
8. Sirius calling Harry JAMES. Loved it. Poor dude is unhinged.
The Meh:
1. Cho. The actress was good, there just wasn't as much ....oomph as I had hoped, and I never really got the sense that Harry cared all that much. I mean HERMIONE seemed to take more notice of what was going on between Harry & Cho, whilst Hary was all 'lalalala angst angst lalalalalala'.
2. Umbridge's demise. Since they cut out a lot of stuff with Grawp (sort of understandably) and really played down the unrest of the Centaurs and how dangerous the Forbidden Forest had become, there was, oh...it just didn't pack enough of a punch.
3. The Death Eaters. These guys were fearsome, right? It seemed like they were having an off day or something because they kept getting Stupefied and never really got any spells in on their own. Maybe they were really surprised to be flying around suddenly. 'DUDE I can flyeeeee....oh, shit....STUPEFIED. D'oh.'
No time-turners crashing, no Ron being injured by the facehugging tentacle thingie, no real battles happening except for Neville and a brief moment of awesome, Luna's stupefy and Ginny's REDUCTO.
I missed Tonks being injured---and any focus on the other OOTP members fighting the DE.
I LOVED the effects, but I was underwhelmed with the battle at the ministry. The fight between Harry and Bella should have been longer, should have had more words...she like, barely spoke.
4. No mention of Andromeda, (or any of the others, including the connection to Malfoy) nor did we see her burned out spot on the tapestry. And no Mrs. Black's shrieking portrait. Bah.
5. Dang, there was a lack of Tonks.
6. I could have done with more screentime for a great deal of other characters.
7. Snape's Worst Memory---WAY TOO SHORT. Where the fuck was LILY? Oh--and WHERE WAS THE FUCKING PENSIEVE? GHJAGKJAGKJGFKJAGHajk??ELEVENTY.
The WTF:
1. Dudley. THE HELL? The first scene, where he was taunting Harry----DUDLEY R U DRUNK?! Idk, his whole delivery was like some kind of in-the-middle-of-the-desert peyote thing for me. But, whatever. Also, LOL @ Dudders' shirt & shorts. SIRIUSLY.
2. WHERE THE HELL WAS WEASLEY IS OUR KING?
3. There should have been more Weasley twins. I mean, yes---I know they really haven't had Peeves in the movies, but the whole business about the fireworks really could have been better. I missed the spelling of vile words in lights, (lol POO) the swamp in the middle of the hall, McG telling Peeves how to loosen the chandelier, etc.
4. I really would have liked to see more of McG hating on Umbridge. Shit, I would have loved to see more of Annoyed!Snape....or just Snape.
5. SIRIUS' DEATH. Was over in two seconds. I almost missed it when I blinked. And it was just kind of....idk....meh?
All in all, I'm fluctuating between a C+++ & a B--. I was feeling pretty wretched when I saw it, though---so it warrants a second viewing...probably on DVD, I doubt I'll be able to manage another outing to the actual theatre.
I'm still going to buy it, though. Mostly because I am addicted, have no willpower, and love this fandom so much.
ETA: Harry's vision of Voldemort in the suit at the train station. I was AK'd by LOL. I kept thinking of that 'It's Dolce & Gabana BITCHES.' icon.

/sigh.
I'll be doing a Reiki session this weekend with a kind gent who thinks he may be able to help. I'm grateful. I'm working up the courage to walk into the dentist's office and ask him face to face---to please help. Mostly, I just sleep and avoid food....I'm quite scared of the 'no' he might give me.
My ex-best friend, well...not really....but the girl who use to be my best friend once upon a time, when I was that other girl....the one who functioned ---is leaving for Seattle this weekend. Me, being ill and reclusive and all, will not get to see her before she goes. Bah.
I've adopted three mice.

1. DO YOU HAS A FLAVOR? Not that I'm aware of.

19. HAVE ANY MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS? No.
20. YOU HAVE BEEN SENTENCED TO DEATH. WHAT'S YOUR LAST MEAL? At this rate? Probably a smoothie. BUT, if I could suddenly swallow and my teeth would work----I would get Crab Rangoon, a huge salad, and white pizza with extra cheese and garlic butter, and a french silk pie. Also, a huge burger with bacon and smoked cheddar and horseradish, and some chinese food. Also, a grilled cheese, and maybe lasagna.

22. MOST DISAPPOINTING SEXUAL EXPERIENCE? The part where the sex happened.
23. WHAT DRINK WILL KNOCK YOU FLAT ON YOUR ASS? Any.

26. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WRITTEN ON YOUR TOMBSTONE? Something pretentious and unintelligible.
27. IN YOUR OPINION, WHO IS THE MOST OVERRATED MUSICIAN/BAND? I don't 'get' The Beatles, or Bob Dylan, or The Rolling Stones. I'm not sure if that makes them overrated or not, though.

37. WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG? Writer, Veterinarian, Actress, Artist, Filmmaker, and...seriously, a Unicorn. *facepalm*.
38. FAVORITE CARTOON? I'm not sure I have one.
39. SUB-CULTURE OR GROUP YOU CAN'T STAND: There really isn't any subculture I can't stand. What I can't stand are loud, rude, obnoxious assholes---and those come in every subculture.
40. FAVORITE SWEAR WORD: I use 'fuck' quite often, but I'm actually more partial to words like 'harlot' and other antiquated stuffs.
41. MOST "TABOO" CRUSH YOU'VE HAD ON SOMEONE: I don't think any of them were really'taboo', unless crushing on fictional characters is considered taboo.

43. MOST MONEY YOU'VE HAD IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT ONCE? $50K.
44. LAST DREAM YOU HAD? There were bears in it, with orverlarge eyes and sharp, gleaming clwas. They were grinning in my window. To the other side, a smaller bear crawled past. There was a doctor just beyond, extending longish arms and shaking his head as he gave me medicine.
45. WORST EXAMPLE OF PROCRASTINATION YOU'VE DONE?
In college I used to go back to sleep and hold it rather than get up and pee.
46. MOST RECENT AMOROUS ACT IN THE BEDROOM? Um...7 years ago or something.
47. LAST THING THAT MADE YOU LAUGH LIKE A FOOL? I can't say. Probably something Makani drew.

54. FINALLY, WHAT IS THE WORD/PHRASE YOU USE WAY TOO MUCH? 'I'm sorry'.

...random character related costumishness has made its way here. it's a bit 'meh' in and of itself (i'm no real artist, the poses are so, so copied) but i'min love with the costumes themselves, and the personae beneath them...
...the rest are in the Novellish Randomness album.
I believe I am on a pro-bono list for the healer, though there's an 18 month wait. If $1200 happens to fall in my lap I'll definitely go sooner. At least I think I will. It's hard to really guess what I'd do, given this dental drama. I did manage to write another pleading, pathetic letter to a local dentist in hopes that he might do some pro bono work. This not having back teeth thing is getting very dreary, especially when the open root canals are starting to hurt.
I've all but given up on writing, as I can't manage to think about anything but snot & teeth and panic attacks. I don't think I've written for almost a year, and though I'd love to try, the terror kills the creativity in me. But I used to have this awesomely lovely story. I do remember that much.
Also, there's a useless myspace quiz. It's here. It's kind of silly and goes on far too long.
