I like Williams *because* he's soundtracky. I know, that makes me a freak, but still.

I am super-excited about going opening night. I didn't think it would happen at this point, but it did. All my dreams are coming true! (Yes, I am easy to please.  ;))


Me, too! I mean, I've also got a ticket for HP IV on Friday. We're going to see it in Loews Theater in downtown Boston. :D  It's my favorite theater out here so far. Plus, before the flick, some friends and I are going to PF Chang's for dinner. Mmmm.

Loews is definitely the nicest theatre, though the Fenway AMC has cheaper tickets, especially for students. But being at Emerson, you probably don't make it down to the Fenway very often.

Yeah, it's a little far out of my way. I've met some other WLP (Writing, Lit, and Publishing) people up at a Coldstone in Fenway, but other than that (and one time walking around Fenway Park itself), I haven't gotten up there much. Oh, that reminds me of "Fever Pitch," this movie my roomie rented mainly because it's a love story wrapped in a homage to the Red Sox. I kinda liked it, actually, in spite of Drew Barrymore. I dunno, she kind of annoys me usually (though I liked her in "Ever After"). The story and characters kept my interest and the humor kept me amused. Not a bad flick after all.
I just hope HP 4 is more spectacular than the rumors are making it out to be...

I *really* liked Fever Pitch. I thought it was a fun romantic comedy about compromising to make a relationship work. 'Course, I don't hate Drew Barrymore like everyone else seems to.

The only thing I can honestly say I *hated* Drew Barrymore in was Saturday Morning Cartoon's Greatest Hits, the one hour special that ran on Cartoon Network with videos for most of the songs on the CD.  She did little skits in between, pretending she and her friends had just woken up and were watching them as cartoons

Her comments were largely dumb, but it's fun to see some of the artists in the videos.

I love Fever Pitch specifically because it is set in Back Bay, where I used to work, and the Fenway, where I went to school. It's filmed on location, and I can see the places I used to walk, and hang out. I love, love, love, love, love Boston. I miss, miss, miss Boston. I really feel like that's the place I'll end up (if I can control that).

I'm sorry you're so homesick for Boston. Here's hoping that you find the awesome job you've always wanted right here in Boston and get to come back!
But.... in the meantime, just try to picture all the freezing winds and huge snowdrifts that you'll be lucky enough to miss come winter. you know, every time anyone mentions the weather, they always seem to say stuff that makes me think I'll need a Taun-Taun to get around when the snow begins in Jan.  :P

Well, you might, but I have a feeling this will be an off-winter. It seems to happen every other year, and the big snows were last year and two years before that.

Ah, shucks! No wading through outrageous amounts of sleet and snow? Well, I'll just have to cancel my Taun-Taun shipment I guess.  ;)

So I'm a little shocked that on rottentomatoes.com, Goblet of Fire has a better score among the elite critics than among the general critics. It still is getting great reviews overall, but normally the elite critics rate everything lower.

It's darker.  Much.

The elite critics don't rate everything lower--that's usually the sign of a really good movie, if the elite critics like it more than the overall average.

Yay! That's definitely encouraging. After all, book 4 is definitely darker than book 3. I'd expect nothing less. I'm also pleasantly surprised about the reviews on rottentomatoes from the elite crowd. :D Can't wait to see it tonight.
