[HPFGU-Movie] Re: The ending of GoF (was: Random ramblings on GoF)/ Reed's review

[AnitaKH]

  Charme started it all with:
  > And for the love of God, you simply must read movie critic Rex  Reed's column in the New York Observer, as it is apparent that HE has  issues requiring therapy as he notices (and prints) that Dan has hairy  legs, an Adam's apple, and a "buldge in his pants"  and Emma  Watson has "cleavage." (no, these are not my words - they are his.)

  Alla continued with:
  
As to this review, you know I am a great believer in the idea that 
  we could say any things positive or negative about books or movies, 
  BUT such criticism only carries any weight for me if the person 
  actually saw the movie or read the books and I have a lot of doubt 
  that this guy actually saw the movie.
  
  akh chimes in with:
  
  I finally broke down and read the review, although I find Rex Reed's  vitriol tiresome.  Once again, Rex is straining to toss witty  barbs at material he feels is beneath him.  Unfortunately, Rexie  baby, you just sound like a cranky old man.  (I'm actually  thinking of a more pejorative term, but we'll let that pass...)   It helps when the barbs are actually based on the movie in question,  too.  I read it to my office partner who asked the question we all  asked: just what movie did he see?
  
  On anther movie front, my office partner saw GOF this weekend, and  although she's surrounded by HP readers including her younger son and  her mother, they don't tell her the plot, in hopes she'll finally read  the books.  She had no trouble following it and declared the movie  "pretty wonderful."  Joan's a smart cookie, so she may not be  typical, but at least one non-reader had as good a time as us fanatics.
  
  akh, who'd better get cracking on her chapter discussion for the Other List...
