Post by: Solo on July 30, 2007, 11:19:41 AM: Its probably the best book, but the worst movie (although I havent seen OotP yet). You know a movie stinks when I would put not 1, but 2 Chris Columbus movies above it!

Post by: Himu on July 30, 2007, 12:23:41 PM: First film was my favorite movie, book 6 is my favorite book

I liked how magical the first movie was. that sense of discovery and stuff. it got me to read the books.

goblet's movie isn't that good, but the book is my 2nd favorite Potter book. they crammed a bunch of stuff into the movie.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on July 30, 2007, 12:44:50 PM: the dance wasn't even that significant in the book. its inclusion and emphasis was just mike newell being his usual edgy brit romcom gay-ass self

Post by: Phoenix Dark on July 30, 2007, 01:05:20 PM: The movie is pretty fun for fans. It starts off well, but then is ruined by two horrible scenes

-PORTKEY SPIN ATTACK WHEEEEEE
-"A man Harry? But, WHO?"

Once they get to Hogwarts things get much better. Rita Skeeter is pretty annoying in the book but she's damn awesome in the movie. And a MILF :-*

Post by: Fragamemnon on July 30, 2007, 01:12:17 PM: I like the movies because I have a crazy thing for owls. Don't ask, I think it's a birdwatcher thing becuase my wife is even worse.

That being said, I wasn't too fond of Goblet of Fire. Prisoner of Ass Cabin is easily the best of the movie adaptations.

Post by: Phoenix Dark on July 30, 2007, 01:34:46 PM: I remember not liking liking GOF when compared to the third book; I'm not saying it's bad, but I just had problems with it. It just didn't click with me; to date it's the only Potter book I haven't read at least twice. I'll have to read it again soon.

But the fifth was so much better than the previous books that it didn't matter to me.
Title: Re: I can see why people dont like Goblet of Fire (spoilers if youre slower than me)
Post by: Van Cruncheon on July 30, 2007, 01:36:07 PM: i'm about halfway through the last book, and it is pretty fuckin' messy and awful. internal consistency is NOT rowling's strong suit. i think 5 and 6 were the only ones i actually enjoyed on some level; the rest were just kinda there.
Title: Re: I can see why people dont like Goblet of Fire (spoilers if youre slower than me)
Post by: Himu on July 30, 2007, 01:37:23 PM: I thought Goblet was great because it had the most adventure, that was until book 7, but still. I liked seeing Harry tackle all of those obstacles and shit. It gave the book a different change of pace over the normal school -> quidditch -> detective shit stuff that book 1-3 had. Finding out how Harry could top all of the obstacles was half the fun.

Post by: MrAngryFace on July 30, 2007, 01:43:55 PM: well then you look at the events and aside from the dragon...I mean the contests were kinda basic considering what wizards n witches are supposedly capable of. It just seems like Harry pulls a whole lotta wins out of his ass.
Title: Re: I can see why people dont like Goblet of Fire (spoilers if youre slower than me)
Post by: Van Cruncheon on July 30, 2007, 01:44:07 PM: remember, i don't give a shit about the hokey lore or whatever -- i'm just following the damn plot to its conclusion. i could see fanbois getting all excited over 7 for its, er, encyclopedic qualities -- OMG MORE ABOUT WIZARD WORLD YAY -- but for me, it's more eye-rolling and PLEASE GET TO THE FUCKING POINT. i swear, the protagonists get more unlikable with each book.

maf, if you thought ron and hermione were twats in 4, 7 makes them almost unbearable. do ANY of the main three have any real distinguishing characteristics beyond the most basic dimensions? i can't even tell if harry is developing, because he's a fucking personality-free cipher (with the occasional tantrum)!

You went in pretty jaded imo. Like I said, the beginning of the book is awesome. The first chapter is better than most of the previous Potter chapters. Mix that with the Dursley scene and the escort adventure and you've got an awesome first 4 chapters. Once they get to the Burrow and gear up for the wedding things get boring, but that's quickly remedied by Kingsly

Title: Re: I can see why people dont like Goblet of Fire (spoilers if youre slower than me)
Post by: MrAngryFace on July 30, 2007, 01:54:49 PM: The tantrums in the movies are so bizzare cause whatever lead up to them isnt actually in the movie so you just see people flipping from HATE TO LOVE HATE TO LOVE for 2 hours. At least the 5th movie kinda grounded shit in reality again now that V is back they have someone to universally hate. Even then tho at the beginning of the 5th movie people are all F U HARRY WE LUB CEDRIC! At least the 5th movie showed the students apologizing for being twats instead of just changing between a scene.

How did these kids go through highschool without even the faintest bit of sexuality? The wizarding world just got a whole lot less interesting.

come the fuck ON, jk, you KNOW at least one kid tried to shove a wand up his asshole and yell "expelliarmus" EACH YEAR. there's no way that NEVER happened, and you know your readers want to hear about it.

Post by: Phoenix Dark on July 30, 2007, 02:01:27 PM: Cuaron "tempted" to direct Deathly Hallows :D

Quote
In a new interview with Rotten Tomatoes, Prisoner of Azkaban director Alfonso Cuaron says that he would be "very tempted" to direct Deathly Hallows:

"I feel a little bit like I have to try to do the films that are not going to exist without me. On the same token, I would be really tempted because it was really beautiful. I just started reading the last book and something I respect is the care the producers have put in the film franchise. It would have been so easy after the success of the series just to take the cynical approach of knowing that no matter what people are going to see those movies. Actually they've been taking a lot of care from beginning to end, so yeah I would be really tempted."

They are 17-18 in the last book. That's a solid 2-3 years of teenage uberhornydom totally unmentioned.

So the fanbase is cool with all the death in the last 3 books, but any display of sexuality is strictly not allowed?

America is not the only market for the books, the books do not take place in America, and the author is not American.

I'm pretty sure Harry plugged Cho in HBP, and Ron almost plugged Lavender Brown (he took her in that classroom he thought was empty...). But at the same time, there's no need for visual sex scenes in these books. I don't think anyone honestly wants to see that. Seems like needless controversy.

And no, Junpei is underage. Plus if I was doing a cheeseburger I'd be the pitcher

Post by: TVC15 on July 30, 2007, 02:19:29 PM: The books are coming of age stories. You can't have a multi-thousand page coming of age story without some explicit boners.

And you could still be the pitcher even if you are the one with tits.

It's unnecessary though. The sexual tension is there without actual sex, and there's kissing/groping applenty. I know this is the whatever goes crowd, but it's not hard to see why books featuring underage sex would be met with controversy, and not just in America. The books are read predominantly by kids as it is (I'm not saying it's a kid's series though). If there was sex I'm sure you'd be complaining even more about fanfiction similarities :p

True, but I don't want the tits. cheeseburger sex is probably just a fantasy I have but will never indulge in (most likely). Don't want to deal with the smell
