We’d pre-ordered tickets for the new Harry Potter movie for B’s birthday. Everyone is sensitive to different flaws in movies, we’ve read and watched the HPs until now – DH heard how the hallucination scene was depicted and informed me that a silver painted half naked actress was just not appropriate for a young teen aged boy – and as DH actually had been a young teen aged boy, he should know.
I was going to be the one to got out with B last night, but the other movie alternative was Megamind, and a goofy comedy just didn’t sound as thrilling as a mega movie with big music to me. B must have been just as mopey as I was, DH took him out for hamburgers, soda and fries, only partly to get to the theater in time to exchange the tickets. By the end of the meal B was so bouncy from the sugar and caffeine that DH started bouncing as well to get in phase with B. They had a great time at the alternative, and as the music was by Hans Zimmer, it did have big music.
Phew. So, next time, we wait for reviews before buying tickets.
