Saturday, February 2nd, 2008 05:10 amI'm finally catching up on Harry Potter movies. I hadn't seen The Order of the Phoenix yet, though I probably would have liked to rewatch Goblet of Fire before I got into it. I always seem to forget that book/film existed. But anyway! So far, I'm really digging the rapid, anxious camera angles they keep using. Makes the film feel more mature with the usual dark style of colour effect in tow. It makes me think of The Matrix in how the system colours were green-toned and the real world colours were blue-toned. That's about as much as I have to say so far, beyond the more shallow "DAMN, TONKS' ACTRESS IS A BABE." She's the punk chick from About A Boy, isn't she? I think so. Looks like her, anyway. ... Actually, let me add that the woman playing Umbridge isn't horrible enough. She looks too much like the type who would bake you cookies and give you warm, woolly hugs. Too soft. I always envisioned a super uptight woman with a rod shoved into an uncomfortable place (and not the back of her Volkswagen).
But since I'm still on a tiny nostalgic kick, I was reminded earlier of this version of The Hobbit in talking about the upcoming film. I always thought The Hobbit was more interesting and heartwarming than Lord of the Rings, oddly enough, but then I think Frodo had the same kind of effect on me that Harry Potter does. He drove me up the wall with the emo, and the entitlement issues, and the arrogance and self-absorption. I am trying very hard not to notice that those are traits I've been highly involved with lately in my own writing. SHH. IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE SAID. At least in his case, he's not emo, and the traits are not so highly pronounced.
But speaking of him, and films, and since I'm getting spammed with crack fanart of extreme cute and was reminded! ATTITUDE PRESS CONFERENCE! Oh, I wish it wasn't just a projection. Then I could cap that demon child smile.
... I have no idea what this film's plot really is, though. The more I see of it, the more confusing it gets. The cast is epic beyond words, though (and so is their acting ability AHAHA), and for some reason seeing Pata and Taiji just chilling at the bar makes me want to shop in some cobwebs.
HAPPY 6AM.
