Movie + Book within one week of each other = O_O OMG when do I SLEEP

[amanuensis1]

I'll say this about the pdf scans of DH: it's made me eager, not fearful, to get my hands on the book as soon as possible now. And that's something that I hadn't been, up to this point, so. That's kind of a nice feeling. I'd still rather read the book as the book, though, since I had the tiniest peek at the scans and they're kinda squinty to read. Wonder if that's going to be possible while still staying spoiler-free?

Is anyone gonna be interested in reading my OotP film commentary by this point, I wonder? Heh. It's still not quite finished. Been having too active a week. But I'm seeing it again, tonight I think!

In my country OoTP showing was planned on 19th, but there was special pre-showing last Friday (13th, btw, :D) so I had chance to catch the ticket!! But next day I wanted to see it again, but I couldn't! I have to wait until Thursday and on Friday is THE BOOK! Half of the people from fandom watched it at least 2 times!!

And yes, I want to read your commentary on the movie! :D


You're in the Europe now?! OMG, Sectus!! You lucky devil! *is jealous (I mean, not on being in Europe - I'm already there :p)*
Please, give us nice report about it!


OMG OMG OMG 4 days!!
I was perfectly fine until now, but these last days all this hysteria and euphoria caught up on me!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I'm starting to hyperventilate! Ye gods, if I get to Sectus and everyone there has read the pdfs... *headdesks*

I really hope you enjoy the movie, despite all this ruckus! *hugs*

[mamainak.livejournal.com]

I watched the movie! I just want to watch it every day! :P

I've been reading all those posts all over fandom, and every time I read some comment in which person talks about certain scene I want to watch it THAT MOMENT. You can't catch all details in only one watching!

Have great fun on Sectus, dear, I'm just so sorry I can't be there and meet you all! :(
Have fun for all us!
I hope there'll be conventions in future too, so I can come one day! *sigh*

Take it, just take a little paper bag and breathe in it! :D and I don't think all those people who bothered to go on Sectus, will be reading those PDFs - they are too big fans for that! Expecially for spoiling others! It's some kind of fandom code of honour! :D

*hugs*

[aunty_marion]

I'm not going to even try and grab the pdfs, I just haven't got time. I'll be reading the Real Thing at Sectus over Friday night...

[snapetoy.livejournal.com]

Amy, the very idea of staying spoiler-free whilst trying to read the pdfs with one eye closed has me in hysterics! I love you so much. And soon, soon, I'll see you soon! *chants*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Okay, I admit it, read the FIRST TWO pages. And while the text itself is making me desperate to go on, the medium is NOT. All squinty and skewy, especially towards the binding!

I cannot wait to see you! You're probably going to have read the thing by the time I do, aintcha. *giggles*

[snapetoy.livejournal.com]

I have to get the time first! I might have a quiet evening and read like a maniac but I need to be rested for tomorrow! Arrrgh!

[pyewackets-paw.livejournal.com]

I've been putting off watching OotP until Wednesday. The wait has been painful, and I'm developing a nervous tick, but I want to be right in the middle of a HP groove by the time the book gets here.

So movie on Wednesday, book on Saturday. If I'm in my HP groove when I start DH there's a good chance I won't even remember to eat or go to the bathroom until I'm done. Which is really the only way to properly read a Harry Potter book.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

HP overload! I would have loved to have had, like, half a year between the film and the book.

[satanbaker.livejournal.com]

I definitely want to read your movie commentary. :D

I've yet to see it. ._. No money for the loose.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Seen it yet? *hopes*

[satanbaker.livejournal.com]

Yes, finally! Funnily enough, on the day I finished DH. I enjoyed it a lot. :D

[snegurochka_lee]

I still want movie commentary! :)

This leak has really buggered up my week. I thought we still had time for movie talk and last-minute ficlets and speculation and stuff. But now I'm already about 8 million posts behind the post-canon theories and discussion. :(

And agreed re: squnity pages! How are people doing this?! I would if I could, but had to give up after 2 pages yesterday. Wah. *flail*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Talk about being behind on posts--what an lj explosion since the film's release, not to mention the book!

[slumber.livejournal.com]

OHMYGODTHEYKILLHARRY. OSBORN. :| Peter cried so much. :|

I'm still up for OotP commentary too, since I'll be viewing it again in a few days' time, after I'm done with GoF. :P

And I've downloaded the photographs (the scans, for some reason, were a corrupted file when I got them, boo) and am going to read them after my reread of HBP, which comes after I reread, like, everything else. :| By that time DH will have been way past released, hahaha.

But goodness I want to read DH so much now, just to get this whole thing over with. :|

[beck-liz.livejournal.com]

You are evil. It took me half a minute to realize that you were talking about something other than what I thought you were talking about. I was wondering why Peter Pettigrew was crying over Harry, and wondering where the Osborn part came in... hee.

[slumber.livejournal.com]

I know, I know, I'm sorry. I did this coming out of Spiderman 3 too--"OHMYGOD THEY KILLED MARY JANE?? HOW! D:" Pretty soon I'll be the girl who cried murder. :|

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Your spoiler is EEEEEEEEVIL. :D

[maddiec24.livejournal.com]

I definitely want to read your commentary! I adore commentaries.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

:D &hearts

[wernotalone.livejournal.com]

I had no idea there were PDF scans, but I promised my friends I wouldn't spoil myself. We're just gonna open them up as soon as we get them to shove a Post-it on the last page that says "Rocks fall. Everyone dies." as a safegaurd against whatever happy fluff ending JKR has planned.

And I would be extremely intrested in what you think of the movie. I thought it was hilarious and dirty.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I wanted even MORE dirty. :D

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I WOULD TOTALLY STILL READ IT OH YES PLEASE.

[spare-change.livejournal.com]

I want to read your OOTP commentary. After all, I'm still putting together my HBP commentary -- it's never too late!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Yes! That's the philosophy! :D

[beck-liz.livejournal.com]

I still want to read your OotP film commentary, since I seem to be unable to say anything about it other than, "Oooooh, pretty!" *snort* It'll give us something to read that isn't HPDH spoilers. :-)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

"Ooooh, pretty" is kind of my default when Jason Isaacs is in it. :D

[sophinisba]

I keep checking back at your journal to see if you've posted your OotP review and somehow I missed it on my f-list. :) Please do post it when you can.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for the encouragement--it really gave me motivation to write the thing! *hugs*

[ariadneelda.livejournal.com]

Please post your OotP review! It doesn't matter when, I'd just love to read it. :-)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

*gives you big hugs*

*gives you even BIGGER Sectus-y hugs!!*
