Just useless...

What a miserable day in Holland! We've got a major low pressure system over our heads, causing constant 30 mph winds- gusts to 40 mph. It's raining- turning to sleet. Just nasty stuff.

I saw the most recent Harry Potter film last night. I didn't like it. I thought the story line was weak- the climax was hardly the highest point of the film- things were done wrong. I felt like the film should not have sacrificed content and story for a shorter movie. We lost crucial characters- and in the hurry to end the story- could have lost Rita Skeeter all together too. The characters were stagnant- we didn't learn a thing about any of them, and the only thing that justifies my seven euro price tag was the short scene in the tub. I was expecting grand things when we first see the Quiddich World Cup- but as soon as the veela are cut out- we know the movie will suck.

The best part about the film was that the theater I went to stopped the film so people could go into the lobby to smoke and buy more beer- thanks theater- because I am so glad I was drinking since three to see that film at nine.

My favorite review quote comes from Phil Villerreal from the Arizona Daily Star, he wrote, "...the busy story tends to lose track of characters, hyperactively vaulting from one plotline to the next without satisfying resolutions or transitions."
