[madgirl]

weirdy beardy... saw some FIT male nurses though - raaaa


lol
dunno - my mum is still there though,,, they are waiting for test results that they were meant to get back at 7 this morning . sux aassssss!!!!!!!!

 

[Tony]

Well, keep me informed, okay hun?? *hug*

I was the same last time i went hospital, i had a awfully cute young nurse smear my stomach in jelly, then massaged it.... that was quite possibly the best point of my life

 

[madgirl]

hehe
my mum said - well there are lots of lovely female nurses and drs there - ull be fine if u do have to stay in!!!

whats pissed me off is id finally decided to go and see the competition ( lord of the rings) and it was me that made an arrangement to go with a few people at 7 tonight, but then they decided that they were going to go at 3pm and because i didnt know if it was ok, they didnt think oh well see if cath can go - well go anyway cuz it suits us. never me - they always think of them i cant wait til june!!!!! id really been looking forward to that- what with being stuck in the house woryying and trying to do work.

trendies - whos have them

 

[Tony]

Always the same, when i have my money, my mates cant be arsed to go the cinema to see lord of the rings or harry potter. When im skint (and they know i am) they come upto me and go 'hey tony, ya wanna come see behind enemy lines?? its got coooooool explosions n that'

*sigh* I cant wait to get out of S-O-T.

 

[MattBlack]

see the competition ( lord of the rings)

LotR is no Competitor. It is a gazillion times better than that under produced, under talented, over-rated, mockery of a (at best) reasonable book, Harry Potter.

The film throws in every english actor who needs a bit of extra cash, and forgets to train the children (who are meant to be the stars) in acting.

LotR uses the best actors for the best roles, has the best possible story (hey, nearly all fantasy fiction these days is based on the Ideas of JRRT), and is superbly produced, and directed.

[/RANT OFF]

Sorry, if I offend anyone. I have strong feelings about this.

 

[madgirl]

No offense. not like any of us is JK rowling! lol

Thing with LOTR is that its DEFINATELY NOT a kids film. i can tell that from the trailers - and the attempts to read the books.
( and from what ive heard from people who have seen it)
most of the people i know who have seen it were shocked that it was PG and then was given a bitty little bit of small print- may not be suitable for under 10s.
they all experienced children screamning and leaving the cinema.

Harry potter on the other hand- yes it has scary bits- but all the kids have read he books anyway and know them. its more on their level and they are able to deal with it.

ive not seen LOTR yet - but as far as potter goes- i guess i have a more child like approach - thats job related i guess, i need it to be good at what i do. but i love potter RANT RANT !!!!!!! lol


heh i gotta admit ( im sure ill be killed) for this - but HErmione annoyed the heck out of me..... and there were some really lame bits in potters acting. thing with potter is he really at the end of the day was chosen cuz he had to look right - not so much for his acting ability.....

i did like Ron- despite his silly face pulling -maybe cuz he kept saying wicked... reminded me of someone! lol

but yeah - some of the acting was really lame. but as far as the imaginary angle goes it was great- partly cuz it was like - normal life - but then underlying it there was this theme of magic stuff that DOESNT happen to us! yay

right im a gonna stop obsessing now. well for a while,

 

[MattBlack]

I agree that the Film is aimed at kids, but the books are read by all age groups (even I have read them). Therefore, the film should perhaps have been a little better thought out.

Hermione is meant to annoy - that's the whole point of her character, and to be a smart-arse. Harry himself is a crap actor - and he is meant to have messy hair. Ron, well, apart from the Steve comparisons, is annoying as hell.

But the film switches between scenes at a stupid speed, over extends things that don't need it, and cuts out some really important bits. The mess of actors completely fail to work together. I can only assume that (like Gormengast) these actors were in it for the entry on their CV.

LotR is actually a kids story too. Remeber also, that Jurassic Park was a PG. The rating is simply the minimum the film will get away with - the Producers don't want to limit their audience, and being as the books featured very little gore (violence, sure, but no gore), no sex, and no bad language, why not make it a PG?

I wish it was a 12, or 15, though. They could have done sooo much more with Liv Tyler.... mmmmmrrrggghhhhhh Liv... drool.

 

[madgirl]

erm..ok
i guess ill wait to see it!!!!!


Ok - enough about Liv tyler ( says me who has been obsessing over sebastian bach and markymark! ) lol

i know LOTR is a kids story ( TEACHER!) but when i read it - didnt get the same feel from it- its still aimed older- i cant see a seven year old understanding in the same way as rthey would HArry potter.
i know so many adults that read it - and i always see several people on the train reading it! i think its not the age of the child- its just the inner child - and what appeals to that!

i guess, as ever, its down to personal taste...

same way that some people like Action adventure movies and bond and others dont etc etc.

i thought alan rickman was great as snape but there were definately a few too many famous people in there.

i knew what u mean about Hermione - she annoyed me from the minute she appeared in the first book!! ARGHHHH! the typical stuck up child- reminds u of someone who u were at school with, thinks they know it all!! lol ( i had a kid like her in my class last year- she wasnt one of my favourites... so cocky tried to tell me I WAS wrong about the spelling of the word ... hmmm. i asked her if she wanted to come up to the front and take the lesson for me. she soon shut up after that !) Ok - i can see how this leaves me wide open for jokes about my spelling.!!!! I was like well actually Newton is spelt N- E -W -T-O- N . she wanted to tell me that it was Newtun....hmmmmmmm !!!!!!!!

i liked Harry- but more cuz i got involved with the character . but he was a wooden actor.

there definately were things missing in the film. like how they discoverd - Nicholas flammel.... in the book, HArry gets him on the first choco frog card and then he remembers through that.. but in film they changed that to reading it in a book... grrrr..

not to mention a hundred other things.
i guess they had to miss afew things out but i didnt like the fact that some things were changed a lot or not mentioned.

ive heard from some people that they thought there were bits in LOTR that they could miss out cuz it dragged on a bit.
i think nomatter what they do with any film version of a book, they are always going to have to miss little bits out.

desite that - it totally took me with it - i was AT hogwarts and got totally caught up with it- nearly cheered during the quidditch match!!!!!

ok lol im mad- but its great- its left me wanting to fly on a broom even more than before i read the book - and i SO want to go to Diagon Alley and go to gringotts bank.

ok ive gone mad!!! well madder. i was obsessed over the books for a couple of years before the film was even mentioned.
eeek...
ill wait and see LOTR and then make a better comparison,.. u never know i might prefere LOTR, though i didnt really like what i read.

 

[Diamond Dave]

There were lists of all the mistakes in Harry Potter out within days of the things being released. Can't some people enjoy the thing without taking on that sort of attitude?

 

[madgirl]

.... some people just like to pick!!

i noticed loads of stuff.... but nothing was going to disillusion me though because as far as i am concerned its had me totally engrossed twice and will again im sure!!! ( and put it this way - how long was it No1 at the boxoffice??????????)

 

[Tony]

It does annoy me though, though i havent seen either film, ive got enough opinions of intelligent friends to know that they are both excellent films, and i DO want to see them. But some people will moan about ANYTHING! Like 'oh, harry potter is just for kids' okay, for maybe they were written for a younger audience, if its well written, its worth a read IMO.

Besides, you can STILL catch me watching The REAL Ghostbusters & Ulysses 31 occasionally if ya phone up

Well said tony !!!


Potter- Just for kids???

rahh- i bet every single one of u who have used the trains regularly will have seen people of ALL ages reading potter!!!!!

infact Some adults were so unwilling to be seen reading the book with the childrens cover- the publishers bought out the 'Adult version' ( no not the porn version)
a version that had a plain binding on it.


mmm- kind of sad- but it still shows that its not just for kids!!!!!
