Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Review (kinda)

Holy motherfucking shit! Have you seen those close ups of Harry's neck and arms in bed??! Veiny! Sweaty! Oh. My. God. The boy is all grown up now, that's for sure. (He is 18, right? I'm not being a disgusting paedophile here, right?)
Anyway, it was definitely the best HP movie so far. Yes, they have butchered the book as they tend to do but they did it quite intelligently so I didn't mind. The story was coherent and it wasn't boring for a second. I loved Luna although she was somewhat more gentle than I'd expected. In the book she has a bit more attitude, I think. But lovely nevertheless. I really didn't like how they made it like Cho had betrayed Dumbledore's Army. That's just wrong. Again, I understand some compromises had to be done. I wonder what will happen with Ginny in the next movie. I mean, she still looks like a child and is supposed to be Harry's gf in the next part. It so won't work unless she grows up quickly because Harry is so grown up... mmmmm... tossing and turning and sweating and moaning... uhm... where was I? Oh yeah, I'm "reviewing" the movie, not my paedophilic fantasies. So... Dumbledore - I'm still missing the late one. This one just lacks emotions or something. Umbridge's costumes were absolutely amazing, just like I have been picturing them. And Imelda Staunton is IMHO a very good choice for the part. I hate Helena Bonham Carter though. Not that I think she's bad for the part, I just hate her in general, lol.
DIGRESSION: Mom just brought papers home and the first thing I see on the covers is "At midnight the answer: Who dies?". I FUCKING KNEW IT! Bastards will ruin Harry Potter for me! There will be spoilers all over the place. I could start crying right now. I hate the stupid world! Why, WHY would everyone want to ruin everything with spoilers? Fucking journalists and stupid people on the Internet!
Back to the movie. Snape was just as scary as in the first movie but maybe he's pushed it a bit too far. It wouldn't kill him to speak a lit-tle faster every now and then. The twins were cuter than usual - growing up suits these British kids, lol. Not Ron though, poor thing. Just unpretty. Too little McGonagall, too little Hagrid. The Ministry of Magic should have been much much brighter, I expected a golden glow. It was dark instead. WTF??! Voldemort... I don't know. He's just not scary. Never has been, IMO. That nose thing is just stupid. I don't know, he's just lame. Hermione is trying too hard, as always (I know I should say Emma Watson, but I won't). The testrals (sp??!) were awesome! Pretty much as I have imagined them! Especially the baby, so cute. Grawp is cuter than I expected too. I liked him. Almost no Malfoy jr. at all. Malfoy sr. instead - not that I mind, he's great, Jason Isaacs is hot (in real life, not with that hair).
I loved the moment when Dumbledore was fighting Voldemort and Harry curled on the floor. I wanted to take him in my arms and comfort him. Harry's soundless breakdown when Sirius died was a great moment too, with Lupin holding him...
A great movie, really. Go see it. Or don't, since I probably ruined it for you now.

Grey's And Other Anatomies


I was watching the rerun of the third episode of the first season of Grey's Anatomy and McDreamy walks in looking like this (screencap from Screencap Paradise). I'm so into dorks. I think his clothes here is the pure perfection. Aah, McDreamy....

And while I'm watching this silly doctor show I'm hoping there are Burkes and Shepards and Baileys and all of them in Germany because my aunt, dad's sister, has a tumor behind her eye and her nose and is having a surgery on Tuesday. She is only 52. And it doesn't even seem real to me. I still have this immature view of life, this naive belief nothing can harm people I love. In my mind they are invincible, they are immortal. Even when my dad had a tumor removed (it was benign) I didn't for a second think he might not wake up or that it could be malignant. Death hasn't been a part of my life yet, not really. I lost a friend, yes, a friend of mine lost a baby girl recently, but I haven't lost a member of my family yet. I'm hoping this won't change anytime soon. Especially after hearing my dad say: Then I would be left alone.

Hot Blabber

Not sexually hot. The weather is horrific. It's around 36°C and they predict 40 on Thursday. Unbearable. And I usually don't mind the heat. I can take it but 40°C??! Holy shit. We're not gonna cook anything for the rest of the week, it's inhumane. And I'm still going to the library every day.
I'm desperately hoping Harry Potter will begin showing on Thursday. I can't wait to see it.
I had my photo taken today for the new ID. I'm getting them on Thursday. I wonder how they'll turn out cuz I'll have that picture for the next 10 years. I didn't hate the last one, so I'm guessing this one is due to be awful.
We might go to the pool tomorrow but I don't know if I want to. How smart would it be with this weather?

Currently reading: Beneath a Marble Sky (story of the Taj Mahal), John Shors - it's wonderful!

Barbecue Pictures





It was a lovely day spent with my friends. The food was good, the company was good, the music was... well, house or something, lol. I had a good time. And I did the dishes (I have photographic evidence).

Just a perfect day,
Problems all left alone,
Weekenders on our own.
It's such fun.
Just a perfect day,
You made me forget myself.
I thought I was someone else,
Someone good.

Oh it's such a perfect day,
I'm glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.

Friday 13th


I have a new haircut. It's short. I'm getting used to it all over again. It's not really a change because every time I cut my hair, I cut it the same way. lol I'm so sad. It's like I'm trying to change things without changing things.
I hate neighbours. Not all neighbours. Just those that stop in front of your window while you're taking a nap so they could chat for a bit with your mother who incidentally happens to be in the back yard so that chatting requires yelling at volume that is, I'm sure, prohibited by law. That was yesterday. I also hate those neighbours who unload their wood for winter while you're taking a nap. I mean, I understand that people need wood for winter. What I don't understand is why they have to unload them by throwing logs one by one from the top of their roof on the metal sheets used for producing the sounds of thunder in movies before the digital era. Or at least that's how they make it sound. That was today.
Right now I am going to go and get my legs waxed. Again. Yippie fucking yay.
And tomorrow sister is coming home.
Happy Friday 13th.

The Departed


I finally saw it. First of all, I am not a Scorsese fan. *expecting hate mail now* I'm not a fan because honestly, he's too complicated for me. But I have to say, this one was OK. I know, I know, Doc and maybe a few others would expect praises but I'm not all that into blood. I only saw it because everyone said it was good. Here's my question: when the hell did Leonardo become hot all over again? How did that happen and where was I? WOW! But I have to say this: translating - one of the worst ones ever! "What if this was a legitimate threat?" was translated with "Što da je ovo legitiman tretman?" (What if this was a legitimate treatment?). I mean, COME ON! I don't like Damon. I just don't. Never have, never will. Not even in "Good Will Hunting". Is that it? Yeah, I think I'm done. Wait. I forgot. The music was great. OK, now I'm done. Shit. Wait. That rat at the end, that was such an unnecessary metaphor... Marty, Marty, Marty... *shakes head* I expected more from you...
