Post-Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire

So I left my office at 6:00pm on the dot last 16 Nov 2005 to make it to the mall early enough to freshen up, grab a quick dinner, and start my vigil in front of the cinema for the 9:30pm Harry Potter showing. Alas, traffic was HELL on ALL roads to the mall, inconceivable! I ended up parking my car at a hotel that was maybe a kilometer or more from the mall and WALKED to the mall with my bag, my chips (Jack & Jill Chiz Curls) , and a book (The Dark Tower V by Stephen King).

I forget how long that trek took but I managed to reach the mall, enjoy a cigarette (or two), claim a free drink at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (filled up my drink card), do office errands, freshen up, and start my vigil in front of the cinema (at around 8:15pm). Am I a fan, or what? Incidentally, the book was for the pre-movie wait while the chips were for the movie proper. I had a good place in line (ground level with the cinema instead of at the bottom of the steps or, even worse, outside the mall entrance). Note to selves: Must take a photo of a winding movie line sometime.

The cinema opened its doors at 9:00pm and I'm pleased to say that I was able to get good seats (I watched with my sis in center seats #16-17, seventh row from the back...highly recommended). Well, I wanted us to be comfortable since the movie was said to be 157 minutes long.

Post-movie thoughts:

I cannot believe that the movie made me cry.
It's not like I didn't know what was going to happen.

I guess the audio-visual treat that it was just moved me.

I can't wait to watch it again (and, maybe, again?)

I therefore conclude that Daniel Radcliffe is a much better actor than...

Orlando Bloom

and probably a plethora of Filipino actors ;)

Hahaha!

Happy weekend, keep smiling and God bless!
