After accomplishing my goal of getting at least half of my final Philosophy paper finished, I finally got to go and see Harry Potter today. Because we usually go as a family I had to wait this long, and I was kind of pissed off when I found out that it was only going to be me and my dad going, but regardless, I loved it. I really loved the bits of comic relief that were incorporated beautifully into the film to balance out the intense moments. I'm not going to spoil anything for those who have not read the book and still want to see the movie so the only thing that I will say is that if you are planning on taking young children with you they will probably be completely terrified if you go see it in 3D, and they will probably be scared anyways. But, that's about all I can say.
Something that I did think about after I got home from the movies was about how different the movie going experience would be for someone who has read the book (like myself) and someone who hasn't (like my dad). Because someone like me knows what is coming next and is slightly distracted by all of the things that were left out of the movie. Where as my dad is completely wrapped up in what is going on and doesn't know what to expect next.
Going to the movies also reminded me of some of the things that other people do that really bother me (and probably other people too). The things that bothered me today at the movie theater were people pulling out their cell phones at random times throughout the movie and the people who have to talk during the movie.
1) To the people who pull out their phones during the movie, if you are checking the time because you're that bored, do us all a favour and leave. You are extremely distracting with your bright light in the middle of a dark theater, we all know it was you and you look like a tool. There is a reason they ask you to turn your phone OFF. (My dad was one of the offenders so I told him to stop being a tool and that I was going to have to confiscate his phone next time)
2) To the people who talk during the movie it's very nice that you have your opinion but "opinions are like assholes, everyone has one but I don't really want to know about it." And if there is something that you are talking about that is completely irrelevant to the movie do us all a favor and leave I didn't pay money to listen to you, I want to watch my movie.
Anyways, I still have another 224 more words to write for my Philosophy paper so I'm off to finish that.
