A Change In Strategy

[marni1971]

I have heard of the mythical pyramid things being added to the end of SSE that "any day now" will activate and make the descent better.

Whats the rumor for SM?

Triangles... not pyramids. Don`t start rumours!

Potters specs alone wipe the floor of anything in central Orlando.

I thought they were covers for the fire supression system. :ROFLOL:

On paper. Let's see if they get it to work.

You are so lucky! You get to go to Tokyo.

But yea, Potter will be open by 2012.:wave:

Heh going to TDL/TDS was the second thing I said after I congratulated him.

"OMG you're getting married! Congrats...wait OMG I CAN GO TO DISNEY SEA YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!"

Thanks for the reply

*sigh*

From everything I've heard, it's gonna blow us all away. JK wouldn't let just any old run of the mill attraction get built, so I have faith.

For sure.
JKR and her people have been looking over Uni's shoulder very closely during the whole project. (Some at Uni would say too closely.)
Imgine if you will, JKR saying to Uni something to the effect of, "No. That's not good enough. Make it better or we walk."
That's not an exact quote....but it's JKR's way or no way over there.
As it should be.

Yes. That ride will be quite amazing. More so than any of Disney's recent offerings.

So why can't she do that for her movies too?:lookaroun

What is the Hogwarts Castle going to mean? Apparently there will be a restaurant? inside.

I think the movies are fine. I go into them knowing they aren't going to follow the book word for word, and I enjoy them.

I totally disagree. One and two were OK, the rest...Down hill...They need to find a director, and stay with him.

I'm the exact opposite. I thought the first 2 were awful, and the past 3 were very enjoyable.:lol:

3 was ok...4, no. "Emo" (really bad acting) Harry was horrible.

Radcliffe is terrible in all of them IMO. So I throw anything he does out the window.:lol:

One and two were decent. The others, yeano. They have gotten steadily worse as the series has gone on.

And yeah, the acting in all of them isn't stellar. I just accept that though. :lol:

No, that is something Disney would do... :lookaroun :lol:

It is suppose to house an attraction. :wave:

I didn't mind the fifth one either. :lookaroun

I came out of the theater cursing the 2nd & 3rd one, same with X-Men: The Last Stand and Spiderman 3. :lol: :lol: :lol:

5th was different, but I enjoyed it... :shrug:

Hermoine is good

Really? Good? She's flat out terrible in my opinion, as all the "child" actors have been throughout the entire series. Thankfully the supporting cast of adults are uniformly excellent and most are inspired choices. I'd watch any Harry Potter movie just to see Alan Rickman as Professor Snape. He's by far my favorite character in the series and Rickman really nailed him.

1 & 2 are just god-awful. No soul at all to them, they are just rote, cram as many details from the books into this movie as possible exercises by a hack director.

3 is the only one that I'd say is "good", though it deviated quite a bit from the book. I prefer that and a film that has a style to it to the first two.

4 & 5 were both pretty bad. There's a fine line between adapting a written work and maintaining the spirit of the novel and then losing a lot of what made the novels so entertaining in the name of cramming in as many action beats as possible. 4 & 5 were the Cliff's Notes versions of the books. I still find it hilarious that the longest book in the series gets the shortest movie.

I don't anticipate 6, 7 & 7.5 being any better, though at least they've expanded the final book to two parts.

You know what? I think it's time to break out my blanket statement.:lol:

Blanket Statement: All the movies were horrible because reading them as books the first time were so much better.:lol:

We now return you to your regularly secluded Rant WDW thread.

Now there's a statement I can agree with!
