Now there's a movie that IMO was awful.  I'd never read the books, but I'd
heard great things about them...so I went to see the movie.  Now, maybe it
was the atmosphere in which I saw the movie...it was in a drafthouse where
they serve pizza and beer during the movie...so it was crowded, and people
were getting up and waitresses were wandering through.  I had a hard time
hearing, and could make no sense whatsoever out of the plot...but it sticks
out in my mind as one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Whenever my husband and I are referring to a ridiculous plotline in a
movie...we tend to start chanting "the worm is the spice...the spice is the
worm" and burst out laughing.....

I mean no disrespect to the books, as I have heard from many people they are
great, and maybe I will try them one of these days, but the movie surely
turned me off attempting them for a long time...lets hope that doesn't
happen to Harry.
