[HPFGU-Movie] movie length

[artsylynda at aol.com]

I sat through nearly all the credits, then finally gave up when  they got to 
the ILM credits, which I knew would take ANOTHER ten minutes (I'd  already sat 
through ten minutes of credits, I think).  There are many  movies that give 
you fun little things at the end if you're patient.   "Pirates of the 
Caribbean" has a fun scene where the monkey shows up and grabs a  gold coin and makes 
off with it, looking quite gleeful.  I was hoping for  something fun like that 
at the end of this, but this wasn't a "fun ending" kind  of film.  I loved the 
Marauder's Map and Dan saying "Mischief  managed.  Nox" at the end of PoA.  
And the fun little things they put  in some films' credits -- the credits of 
"Airplane!" for instance include a  brownie recipe (if I recall correctly) and 
identify Hitler as a real creepy guy  (they used some funnier terminology that 
identified him as a monster, but I  can't think what it was right now).  The 
Police Squad movies all have funny  credits too.  We laughed when we saw 
"Sideways" (not that funny or good a  film, IMO, but the credits had a funny line) 
and they had a credit line that  said "No California Oaks were harmed in the 
making of this motion  picture."  (A car had run into a tree in the film.)
