Horrible thought

[tarotgal]

OK, so movies are the interpretation of the script writer and producer and directors, right? So my horible thought of the morning (inspired by a post on the SBRL list) is: what if they change Remus' character significantly. He looks dreadful in the picture (OK, so Thewlis isn't the most handsome guy in the world, but isn't really too bad for a Brit, assuming you ignore his 'Dragonheart' phase) and he's wearing- a sports coat and tie? A paisley shirt? What the heck? Where are the robes? Where is the sweet, likable Remus? The Remus who is an excellent teacher and befriends his students? The Remus who spends months teaching Harry the patronus charm. The Remus who invites Harry in for tea to make Harry feel better. The Remus who laughs in amusement at the map. The Remus who embraces Black like a brother. Where IS he? This is sports coat, hunched over, not at all in command and not at all pacing Remus.
So my thought is, what if that's not what he's like in the movie? I mean, they gave Seamus a lot of Neville's traits in Movie 1. They gave history of magic exposition to McGonagall in Movie 2. What if they completely destroy the traits of Remus and give those to, I dunno, anyone else. And Remus turns out to be a 1-dimensional, creep of a werewolf who spends the movie hunched over and cackling? *frightened shudder* OK, so he's my favorite character and I'm worried about him. So sue me!

My boyfriend thinks I'm overreacting. He thinks when I see the movie I'll fall in love with Thewlis and then he'll laugh his ass off at me. I think we should wait and see, but I'm not pleased thus far.

Ah well. I had 3 hours of sleep last night. I'm going to go nap for 2 hours until my next meeting. I SHOULD work, but my head is killing me and I'm soooooooo tired. I need sleep. LOL! That's where I left Will in my PotC fic, coincidentally. Art imitating life or vice-versa.

I came home and turned on the tv and Queer Eye was starting. Which is SUCH a comforting thing to come home to. Even if I've seen this episode 4 times now LOL! The cute gay boys. The theme song. The... er... cute boys. Anyway, nice thing to fall asleep to, also.

I think I'm going to go buy the Newsweek mag this week, despite having seen the pics and read the story. LOL! I'm a freak.

My boyfriend says he doesn't want to go see the third movie with me because he's sure I'll start yelling in the middle about something. I told him he can sit on the other side of the theater if he likes. But there were a TON of things I couldn't stand about movie 2 and I didn't yell. So I don't know what his problem is. Although he does now see my point on some of those, now that he's heard some of the books. Still, I yelled afterwards, not during.

Yeah, sucks that it's still a year away. That's, like, forever! lol

It took me about 2 weeks to get my boyfriend to go with me to the first movie. Then he was the one to suggest we get advanced tickets for opening day for the second movie *G* Good boyfriend. heehee
I'm sure I'll have many reasons to yell. I already have some (Like no Olly or Quidditch- which means restructing the plot somehow with the possibly no firebolt and dementors striking differently) but I'm an introvert. I don't yell normally, let alone in a crowded theater. I'm polite and stay silent until I'm in my car or at home. Then I complain all I like *G* I'd be happy with a 5 hour movie that stays completely truthful to the book. But I know I won't get that, so I'm sure there will be things I won't like. And I know there will be things I do really like. So we'll see. I can't wait to see how they do Buckbeak! It's so hard with digital characters. I loved Fawkes but hated Firenze. And Dobby wasn't too bad at all. So we'll see.
