took the Career Test on the Princeton review site... can't believe how accurate it is.
_____ Am starting to read the 7th installment of Harry Potter. haven't bought the book yet.. hehe am reading it on the web. I know it's illegal, but the temptation was just too much! hehe Once I started the first few lines, I just couldn't stop reading. But hey, I am definitely going to buy the book.
*Warning:This post may contain spoilers for the movie.
Swept up by the Harry Potter mania, I went to watch the 5th installment of the book/movie series at SM MOA.I had to wait in line for about 30 minutes just to get tickets. But then again, the cinema wasn't as packed as I expected it to be. I suppose people are just waiting for the IMAX seats to clear up a bit and watch it there instead.
Anyway, the cinematography was great! Helena Bonham Carter was really good. I love her playing Bellatrix Lestrange. She's pretty, in a bizarre, freakish kind of way that is. Evanna Lynch was also good as Luna Lovegood. She plays the spaced out part real well. Oh and Emma Watson is really a lady now. She gets prettier and prettier. Wish I had long locks like hers. hehe
The movie was pretty good, albeit it was too short(Really, I wouldn't mind sitting another 30 minutes.) And it changed some of the details in the book.Oh, and I noticed the the movie is starting to deviate from "Harry-saves-the-day" type of ending.
Other memorable portions in the movie: 1. The fireworks scene...That was really good.Great graphics! and Professor Flitwick's little celebratory jump topped the scene perfectly.
2. The scene where the centaurs were going to carry Umbridge away. Umbridge: Harry, tell them I will do them no harm. Harry: Sorry, professor, you told me "I must not tell lies."
3. The last scene in the Department of Mysteries. Love the fight scene between Dumbledore and Voldemort.
Hmmm...overall, its a good movie, a little bit flawed since they skipped some of the good parts of the book that I would have wanted to see. Transitions were also a tad choppy. The cast was great.
Christina Aguilera fever isn't over yet! I've been listening to her Back to Basics album here at work for days already. haha I just love her powerful vocals.
"We took one of our guys, put a bike helmet on and we used him as a ramrod to break ground and put Mike's head through the wall.It was cool."
This was what I translated today...It's so weird. They were talking about how they were making the life of one family, who has a kid that has cerebral palsy, easier by installing a bathtub on the ground floor. So they had to knock down the wall between the ground floor bathroom and the laundry room. But,hello? Using a guys head to pound on the wall? It'd be a miracle if the guy didn't suffer a stroke or a concussion.
And they still go on to say it was cool. Man..are these people retarded or something?
next few lines.(I'll just post the timecoded version...) After that, the construction guys came and cut a hole. 01:25:56.22\01:26:00.17 We have pictures of his head going in and out of the wall. 01:26:00.22\01:26:03.17 We are basically doing an extreme bathroom makeover 01:26:03.26\01:26:07.28 so that he will have a rolling shower in the bathroom downstairs 01:26:08.03\01:26:12.27 and it will give him more independence and it will be a blessing to his family.
