Beware, spoilers ahead!

So, I've been today to the HBP movie (BTW: in my beloved cinema: Bałtyk - I hate those places where you have 10 screens and they're all so small that you just can't watch comfortably). I dare say it was quite enjoyable (definately better than 1,2,4 and more or less better than 5 [but nowhere near as good as 3]).

Let's begin by the bad sides (because they're easier xD):
-horrible butchering of the plot (I guess that the only *really* good way of watching it would be to first read a relevant portion of a book, than watch a part of the movie, read the book, repeat as necessary)
-stupid romance parts (if I recall correctly they were almost nonexistent in the previous movies and here they become something along the lines of a plot-mover but one that takes way tooooooooooooo big a part of the story)
-unnecessary scenes (really long part with Harry and Hermione watching Borgin and Burkes, attack at the Burrow [well,it was nice and great looking but they could've inserted something different for hell's sake!])
-Cissy and Bella (they're for me both + and -; I dislike their portrayal because it differs in pretty much every aspect from what I've imagined and I love it because it fits perfectly with the rest of the movie)
-strange imagery of magic (non-verbal spells were supposed to be difficult and yet for the majority of time they never bother to say the name aloud!; apparation [at least for the DeathEaters] being something like a smoke (?) )
-Dumbledore making remarks about Harry's love life (come on, now everybody knows Dumbledore is gay...)
-change of Riddle (oh, the old Riddle, from HPCOS was awesome and this one is mundane for crying out loud)

And now for the uber-positives:
-the opening credits scene (represents in all fullness how grim the wizarding world has become)
-the attack on the muggles (nice imagery and I just love this flight through the streets of London)
-the Unbreakable Vow - just as it should be, 'nuff said
-the scenes with Ron under the influence of love-potion (even though I complain about the romance part of the movie I can't help but laugh at this and marvel how well they managed to include the bezoar part)
-the look at the sea just before Harry and Dumbledore enter the cave(this scene alone is worth watching the whole film [it's a real example of Scenery Porn, BTW])
-the lightning of wands after the death of Dumbledore (great, sad, made me cry - I'm not ashamed of it)

So that's all about it, if I were to rate the movie I would give it 14.5/20.

It did. Really.
Or, to be more precise, the 78th chapter of NGE is out. I'm dumbfounded.

It took *only* 1,5 year to release this... And the story... I won't spoil anything, just go look all by yourself. It's here.

On another note, my first academic year is over but I still have to write my year's thesis. That pretty much sums up what I'm doing currently.

Just watched the first RAWs for episode 1 and op/end. I must say I'm:
1. disgusted by the distinct LACK of XELLOS
2. surprised by the decrease of image quality since Revolution (it was realy nicely drawn and wasn't that diffrent form former series whereas Evolution-R has horrible moments when it looks just like every common or garden anime now...)

And the exam session draws near.

I also did a meme- just 'cause it was so... silly:

found it on zeth3047's page (sorry, I don't know how to put this nice icon with a link here )
And I admit- I cheated a little just because I have some ebooks and conversational hebrew I clicked next another time when I found one of those

I'm going to put it straight: its H-O-R-R-I-B-B-L-E!!!! Messages show up and when I click on them they dissapear right away (so I cannot see any deviations of people I'm watching...). Why are people always trying to change something good into something 'better' (pardon the word)?
And I can't scan anything 'cause my USB ports stopped working...

But there is also good news: the fourth season of Slayers started airing two weeks ago in Japan (today is the date of the third episode)- I'm all happy with this just one tiny question: WHERE is XELLOS??? (OK, it wasn't that tiny ).
