soooo we never celebrated christmas. cause my family is not christian.
but i did get to watch my cousins open presents in front of their tree. one time my cousin got this huge pink dollhouse with all this tiny furniture you got to put together and little tiny people to live in it.
i didn't want it anyway though. not at all.
i love my cat but i understand that no one else in the world will. he bites their ankles, claws at them, and hisses at anyone who tries to come near us. however, he sleeps on my head, licks away my tears, and cleans me when i'm napping. i love him.
obviously i am too late for even the off-site discussion but in reply to loudshope:
I understand the things they left out, and I’m okay with it. I’m more worried about the things they’ve left out in previous movies, though (No Kreacher back story, no Snape/Lily back story, etc.)
i think about this WAY too much. some random spring day, i'll be at work and i'll think, WHY, why did they not talk about the gaunt family in HP6. oh well, SURELY they'll have enough time since the next book is split into TWO movies.
but no. and then all those people who only watch the movies will never truly appreciate the depth of harry potter.
i celebrated my birthday with unlimited mimosas and then shared two buckets of beer during the movie. i just saw it again sober, and it is FOR sure my favorite of the movies. i too adore the animation sequence. and the attention to detail! all those "M" buttons and pins for the ministry workers. the continuity! as the golden snitch follows harry out of the snatcher's pocket. the heart-breakingness! as hermione ends the dance with harry and listlessly walks away.
i used to lean libertarian! it was really useful for getting republican friends to listen to you and for others to laugh at you.
then i went to grad school and learned more about social justice and realized that for ME, things like trying to equally distribute wealth, right historical wrongs targeted at ethnic and socioeconomic groups, etc. were A-OK. i have a lot of privileges and i'm willing to give some of them up. others aren't.
the quality of this movie does not really matter to me because joseph gordon-levitt.
zooey deschanel is also my girl crush, but i couldn't help but shudder in horror when i saw her fingernails in this movie.
after i bought all the materials for my carebear costume, i was like GODDammit. i should have been yolandi ki$$er (obviously the iteration with the dollar sign panties).
