Yep.
That's okay, it motivates me to take a shower and get going instead of frittering away more time sittin' here in front of my com-pu-tar.
Better do that shower thing. Seeya in a bit.

Evening all. We're looking at probably going to see Harry Potter this evening.

Really Ao? I thought it was a mediocre movie in and of itself, if you disregard the lack of cohesiveness throughout most scenes until you get to the first Buckbeak execution. As for living up to the book, it left out more than half of the content and stuck purely to (most) plot-exclusive events, disregarding entirely everything else. I spent half the movie going "What about...you forgot...where is...etc. etc."
Thumbs down from me on this one.
Tomorrow I go see Troy and see how well it stands up to real events.![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")
Damn I'm such a critic. 
EDIT: The Day After Tomorrow was a damn fine movie, if you put aside the fact that it is completely unrealistic for a climate shift that dramatic to occur that fast. But otherwise it wouldn't be a movie, as events would move too slow, so I let that part slide.

I really enjoyed it. And the third book is my favorite of the books too, so it is the one I'd be the hardest critic on. They cut a lot, but I was okay with it. With the books getting longer and longer, they're going to have to cut more and more to keep the movie to 2 and 1/2 hours or less for kids. They are faithful enough to the books to keep the story flowing the same and, I think, inspire those that haven't read the books to do so.
As for Troy, it is by no means faithful to the Iliad. Character's motives, actions, and their outcomes are drastically altered, as is the plot. If you're looking for a retelling of the Trojan War, run far, far away.
