Well lo and behold - a new Harry Potter film that continues in the fine Potter-esque traditions of being dump. It was so cheesy and feel-goody that I'm surprised Rodney Dangerfield didn't appear at the end and do the funky chicken. I dunno how accurate it is to the book, but it didn't work as a film. It was like loads of little set pieces with some feeble excuse for a plot holding it all together. I wasn't expecting anything that great, but the plot was all over the shop - only finaly coming together at the end with the Bergerac style criminal going over his fiendish plot just to make sure that everyone was clear on why and how he was doing it. Highlight of the film was Kenneth Brannagh's self-loving, smug Professor of the Defence Against the Dark Arts, or something. He was actually very funny. Rest was backwash from John Leslie's toilet.
I'm going to see it tommorrow. And it'll be class, just like the last one was.

Ha ha ha ha ha.... wait, are you being serious?
I have to admit, I *have* seen the first Harry Potter. My parents rented it, I had a few hours to spare, so I thought I'd see what all the fuss is about. After seeing it... I still don't know what all the fuss is about
I hate Milton Keynes.

Don't any of you have a UGC near you? For £9.99 an month you can see any film for free (£12.99 in certain parts of London I think). I used to spend about £30-40 a month on watching films, now I often go see 2 (maybe even 3) in a day if there's a lot out I fancy.
A few weeks ago I went to see Slap Her She's French and Halloween Resurrection on the same night. There was an hour and a half between them so me and my mate were debating on whether to go to the nearby Asda for some snacks (and for me to get an Autotrader - I'm after a new car) or to go see the last hour of xXx again to pass the time. It's too good to be true.
You probably have to be 18 though 'cos it's direct debit.
> having to put up with crappy Warwick Uni arts centre
Why didn't you get the bus to the skydome in Coventry if you hated the Arts centre so?
Anyway, Harry Potter tonight. MK Cineworld. I think the MK UCI is cheaper, but who cares, I like the pick and mix at the Cineworld. Plus I go so often 1 of the gate type people knows me and my mates names. Superb.
It rules.
Finally after having to put up with crappy Warwick Uni arts centre to watch decent films, I can go and see them when they are released for £3.80...
Hopefully I should be going to see Donnie Darko again with someone. The hopefully referring to the someone more than the film.
I saw Spiderman at a Warner Village in London and it cost me £7. Damn capitalists :-)
'Nuff said.
> I went last night too with iguana, saw it in Cambridge
Ah but which cinema did you go to?
The cool indie cinema near Downing, or the hideous Warner village?
I'll go see it at sometime since I don't actually pay for individual films thanks to the glorious UGC Unlimited card.
