*yawn* I am so freaking tired. Movie was supposed to start at 11:15, but because of the stupid monkeys at Homeytown, and the TWENTY FIVE MINUTES of commercials and previews...BAH.
However. Prisoner of Azkaban trailer on big screen. Nice.
Anyway, I'm also not going to bother talking too much about this, especially not right now. I did have to point out a few things, though.
Please DON'T click 'more' or click on the link in LJ unless you've either already seen the movie, or don't mind some mild spoilers.
- I would have enjoyed the movie more had the audience not been full of fucktards. The foursome sitting next to me kept whispering, even when I told them to shut up. One of the girls got up to pee no less than three times, and had to be brought up to speed each time she came back, to say nothing of all the other loud rustling, kicking of chairs, and coughing. Jeebus, people, SHUT UP!
- This sort of goes hand in hand with the last point, but good god. Can I point out a couple of things, folks? Smeagol murdering his brother for the ring is NOT FUNNY. Watching Smeagol's descent into madness because of the ring is NOT FUNNY. Eowyn's heartbreak over Theoden's death is NOT FUNNY. Shelob wrapping Frodo up in spider webbing is NOT FUNNY. Getting the point here? Yes, there are moments in the movie that are at least put in for some kind of humor value, but stuff like that? No. Not funny. Shut the fuck up before I kick you right in the nuts.
- I think that my expectations may have been too high. It was a good movie, and I enjoyed it, don't get me wrong...and maybe part of the problem was the audience, but I just didn't get as much out of it as I was hoping.
- I'm stopping now before this turns into a full-scale pick-apart, similar to what Brett and I engaged in on the brief drive home.
