The Goblet of Fire

Yesterday was a fun day packed into my weekend of schoolwork. First I brought some friends of mine up to LiverLvr's neighborhood and we ate lunch at the local Hooter's restaurant. Sure, most people think that guys only go there for the waitresses in their skimpy costumes, but I honestly like the chicken wings there. At first LiverLvr thought I was lying, but since I've made him try it out he agrees that the wings are good. They have this nice tobasco/vinegar sour hot sauce that really appeals to me (this time we tried 3 mile hot, next time 911?). After lunch we carried out our late Black Friday shopping. I just got a couple pairs of jeans.

Later that evening a group of us went to see Harry Potter - The Goblet of Fire. I read the book a couple of years ago so I really don't remember that many details, but I could see how the movie would be even more confusing if I had not read the book at all. It's such a shame that so much needs to be cut out of the movie due to time constraints. I wonder if this will be a cause for problems in the screenplays for Harry Potter - The Order of the Pheonix or Harry Potter - The Half-Blood Prince because those books only get longer than Goblet of Fire. Anyway, the movie presented the main plot points in an entertaining way. The special effects were great, the acting was ok (most of the actors were kids, so what can you expect?) and the two-and-a-half hour length really flies by. It's so interesting to see a series that captures the interests of both adults and children at the same time.
