Anyone planning on boycotting opening week of HP 6?

Carol responds:
I'm not in the least annoyed. I understand perfectly why WB would want larger profits in 2009 than 2008, and I learned the life lesson of deferred gratification many years ago. Sure, it was a disappointment at first, but I didn't lose any sleep over it, and with all the trailers and so forth, I feel as if I've practically seen the movie already.

That said, I never go to a big film (HP, LOTR, etc.) on opening day (or weekend). I'll wait about a week until the crowds thin out.

Carol responds:
Why be annoyed? Of course, they're out to make money. That's what big corporations do. And I'd love to see the films with the deleted scenes included, not just the ones in the extras but the ones we never saw at all. (Snape's task in SS/PS? Was that ever filmed?) I don't have the extended edition of LOTR, but I've seen it and I enjoyed it--and I understand perfectly why those scenes weren't included in the already long theatrical version.
